You can't just take away the pre-built directives as they are a core module of "vanilla Angular" as stated on the front page of the API docs. From controllers (ngController), to models (ngModel), to looping (ngRepeat), to the actual app itself (ngApp), directives are fundamental to using Angular. Taking away core directives would be like taking away selectors from jQuery, or models from backbone; without them, the framework is pretty much useless.
>The instant I see the word "Unlimited" - I don't even bother to investigate further, as the project is either (A) Lying, (B) Unsustainable, (C) Rate limiting or otherwise bottlenecking you so you can't really use the service effectively.

I agree. It's infuriating, really, especially because the defense is always: "Well everyone else is a liar and that word doesn't mean what it means in the dictionary!"
Yes, we transcode all video files so that they're streamable on whatever platform you're on (including directly streaming from the browser). We'll be giving users access to our iOS app slowly, which will let you stream MKV (and other formats) directly. You can also use our desktop app to stream directly into your native video player.
That's in line with my experience (fall '12). I just don't want anyone reading this to be discouraged from applying because they're not 'advanced' -- there was a Hacker School blog post on that pretty recently.
I don't think it is suicide. I think it is the obvious future, only to be surpassed by a replicator type device whenever that is invented.

So all the big guys try out the idea, so they have experience with the requirements and then try to figure out how to make a buck at it. Sooner or later someone will figure it out, and then the normal grocery shopping experience changes again.

Whether they figure it out in 2014 or 2024 is anyones guess.

So it's a captcha that keeps out computers and pedants on HN. Win/win, in my opinion.
Actually it also affects server versions that were running MSE--we weren't as that's not a great idea at all but they were impacted.

I'm a graduate student in physics, so I'll reply with a physics perspective on this. Concerning modern physics (the quirky stuff like relativity and quantum mechanics), I would not say that any part of it has "disproven" any of the old concepts (which we collectively refer to as classical physics) since Newton. For example, special relativity does not "disprove" classical, non-relativistic mechanics. Newton's three laws are still valid, it's just that the old theory is not as general as we once thought it was (once you move close to the speed of light, things look different to you vs. how it looks for others).

Of course, it goes without saying, what a theory fucking is is experiment. Special relativity, general relativity, quantum mechanics, QED, all these theories are theories because they gave predictions which were confirmed by experiment. Newton's laws, universal gravitation, these too have so much experimental backing so they are theory too, it's just that they are valid for non-relativistic, non-quantum systems. Just because you found that light bends around stars doesn't mean that all the basic experiments you did on the earth that didn't seem to show that bending 50 years ago were all a lie. Your old experiments were still valid! You just weren't looking at a scale where such effects were important: those mirrors and lenses didn't have enough mass to make the light bend enough for you to measure it (the deviations were but small fractions of the markings on your ruler) so you simply didn't see such effects. When you do look at that scales*, however, you'll see divergence from theory, and thus the cycle repeats, and the boundaries of understanding are pushed forward.

We never forgot the old theory, we just find where it fails and how it really was only correct for a smaller scale than we thought it was. Think about science as the old explorers of Columbus' day; they had a very small view of the world, but as they explored, they found that they could add new features to their maps. Nothing about their old maps of Europe had changed though! May be new technology had made the maps more refined, but discovering the West Indies didn't make Germany south of France! It's similar for science. Nothing about modern physics makes us doubt a lot of Newton's results, we just know he wasn't 100% correct.
As it happens, most of these projects are JavaScript libraries leaving only Ember, Spine, and Batman labeled as bonifide "frameworks" by their respective maintainers.

If your intention is to build JavaScript applications and the different philosophies of these projects isn't obvious to you, then I think it's worth hearing Yehuda Katz and Tom Dale make the case for frameworks (specifically Ember) in their keynote presentation at Fluent 2014: http://youtu.be/jScLjUlLTLI
I strongly prefer it being managed so I don't really have to worry about server maintenance and such.

I don't host anything too crazy. I'm a web designer and currently have about 15 sites I'm hosting for clients, with a handful of them being WordPress sites, and the rest, simple HTML informational sites.
I like your analogy in that it portrays the fact that nothing was physically stolen, much similar to arguments used in piracy issues.

However, my understanding of heartbleed is it can take many thousands of requests before interesting / meaningful data is returned. I doubt 900 SINs were returned in a single response (I could be wrong). So I suppose this is analogous to repeatedly sticking your head in & out of the wide open window at street-level.

So what I am curious about is where the line is drawn. Is one malicious packet considered enough for an arrest? 1 million?

On the efficiency side: cuts down on waste b/c otherwise hundreds of people squeeze the produce. But on the whole I'm not for the plan... seems like feature creep for these companies.
That's a very cool engagement model. I think that is more aligned with some engagement with Open source: release the building blocks, let the community of users start manipulating, then package up the best bits as a release. Not piracy outright as you say and very cool way to engage.
I have no problem with that. Avoiding flame wars is a noble goal.

The problem I have is that people are freaking out over extremely minor matter of tone while ignoring important technical problems. Worrying about tone is fine. Worrying about it to such an extreme degree in preference to other things is not.
Microsoft Launches Into A New $1.6 Trillion Market: Internet of Things
I feel the opposite. I'm a dev who is also support. I don't generally get the 'please reset my password' kind of requests, as we don't get them very often, but help users with our system and work on fixing bugs they report.

I find you get a different perspective on what customers find easy and hard and this helps me develop my projects in a way that our customers will understand.
Public borrowing was small compared to private borrowing, it would have been better to take action to limit bank lending to cool the housing market than to drastically cut public spending. And I don't think many political leaders would have borrowed much less, under the Tories I think both spending and taxes would have been lower which wouldn't have produced better results.
It's clear to me, even as a lay person, that Levinson's statement does not refer to any statutory text. Or any legal procedure, etc. On what grounds was he objecting?

"A party does not go far enough by raising a non-specific objection or claim"
Wow, you seem to be condoning theft here. The CRA website was hacked, using a hacking technique just discovered. It is not like "leaving a street-level window open". It's more like, a new way to pick a lock was discovered that no one knew existed, and he went around picking locks to see what he could find.

He knew he was hacking the CRA when he did it. He can't claim to have done it accidentally. The CRA did everything reasonable to secure their servers.

That said, he's a smart teenager playing with technology and did something he shouldn't have. As long as no one was harmed, and his intentions were just curiosity, I think he should get off pretty light. Hate to see his life ruined.

But you can't deny he hacked the CRA. He did.
Came here wondering if I'd see anyone else using flight. Really liking it as a light weight framework/lib so far.
It has nothing to do with cynicism. This is literally taking an existing industry, and slapping a new name on it to sell products, consulting, etc. Go look at any of the current product's websites. Which ones demonstrate an understanding that automation is as old as computers? Cause they certainly all look to me like they want to give the impression that they invented the concept, so you should buy their broken pile of ruby scripts instead of the other guy's broken pile of ruby scripts.
JS has some issues. But the examples in your articles mostly mean that you need to spend more time understanding the language. It seems as if you were expecting it to behave like C#.

myRide = new Car("BMW");
letsDrive = myRide.drive;

letsDrive(); // alerts "You are driving a undefined"

The 'this' pointer refers to the object on which you wrote the 'dot' to invoke the function. If you wrote a.b(), then inside b() 'this' will be 'a'. In your example, you used a function pointer directly without the 'dot' and got undefined. That is not a bug or a "mine", that's how JS works.

From the last article (why CoffeeScript isn't the answer) in the series:

eat food for food in foods when food isn't 'chocolate'

> The declaration of what food is occurs in the middle of the line and doesn’t even look like a variable declaration. That code could easily be worse if "unless eat is undefined" was added to the end, making the whole line conditional.

You'd probably have issues with Python too for it's comprehensions. You should see beyond elementary syntax if you want to make arguments about languages. These details aren't even a preference; you get used to it in no time.

Summary for people jumping into JS from other languages, buy some good books because JS is somewhat different. Also, the "minefield" isn't that big a deal in practice.
Wow, these guys look pretty good. The prices are a little higher than I'd like, but definitely worth checking out, thanks.
Yes, regarding the scanning, this is true... I will say though that I've tried photographing (digitally) my own negatives to see how similar it was to a drug-store scan, and it was pretty close color-wise.

However, I would have to disagree about skin tones unless you can provide some examples to sway me. I've googled a lot of comparisons and have yet to see one that looked as good. I find that the way digital captures just makes the skin look quite harsh, and reveals flaws. I personally think digital needs to make more changes to the sensor itself to really step up the quality. Foveon is an awesome example, but not fully there yet in my opinion.

The cool thing is that you can also click on EXPLAIN and get back information from the DB directly on what indexes it is using/maybe not using.
Hence why in my hypothetical it would take the copyright holder themselves to both upload the file as well as issue the DMCA takedown.
i think this service is targeted at personal clouds. Hosting some service for thousands of users on it is probably against their terms and you'll be kicked out.

LiquidWeb looks very promising and fits right in my price range. Great find. LW is the top contender so far.

Great suggestions guys, keep em coming!
> It's an arms race, but the problem is, only one side can win.

It's already happening.

It turns out humans come quite cheaply, and you can actually solve captchas using humans at very high QPS for very low cost. And people do!

Site owners will have to come up with alternate means of "bot" enforcement that does not rely on human vs computer detection.

Wozniak may have dropped out, but he was also a happy (and fairly well-regarded) Hewlett-Packard engineer, so he wasn't all that marginal.

I'm sure if you had to survive in a different environment your gut flora and fauna would adapt to the new conditions given enough time. But unless you were forced to adapt with your survival at stake you'd just revert to eating whatever didn't cause you to become ill.

This does remind me of an Anthony Bourdain No Reservations episode where they ate with the bushmen, and they gave Tony the "best" part of the hog - the anus - unwashed, uncooked. If nothing else then eating those parts of animals with all their attached microbes would introduce them to you over time. Tony did get violently ill for a few days after filming the segment.

I guess you're just taking it as a given that resisting the DOJ's persecution of Snowden was an error. I'm not really surprised, given your history of cheerleading for the NSA, but anyone who doesn't agree with that is going to find the rest of your reasoning a bit wanting.
I wrote sqltap not too long ago to solve this problem for users of SQLAlchemy, complete with pretty web UI for visualizing not just the queries, but also where they originated in the application:

It also lets you dynamically enable/disable the introspection so you could run it in production.

The best I think that can be done is to tell objectively why you didn't fund a company so either they focus on resolving those issues or at worst quit asap or move to a new idea. I dont know how much feedback is provided currently but it is immensely important even to those who got selected so they can focus on their strengths and fix their issues
The point is, it's not difficult at all, and the optics setup to do so is actually much simpler than the computational algorithms needed to do it digitally. To think that an expensive DSLR or complex PGM algorithm is required to do so is silly. People have been shooting narrow DOF pictures for most of the past century.

Now to get smartphones to do it is perhaps harder than running out to the store and getting a camera, but I would characterize this as one of those evolutionary rather than revolutionary improvements.

In terms of digitizing, there's this archaic thing called a scanner, but a lightbox/DSLR rig can do it, but with the rise of full frame/narrow/mirrorless bodies from Fuji and Sony, you might not even need to do that anymore...

What's with the attempt at hiding some information in the images?

If you are going to do that, use solid black boxes around it. Do not use MS Paint (or whatever) to obscure it by hand, it is readable as is.

And if you want to hide the name of the repositor, block out the name at the top of the Readme as well.
Interesting, I didn't know OVH had that service, looks very nice. Although it looks like it's limited to 5GB max file size and 10 Mbit/s bandwidth, which seems very low for anybody with a decent internet connection.
Do you offer an api or any sort of non GUI access? I've come so close to building this out for myself(at much greater expense), looks fantastic
- Unlimited space vs. 1TB

- No sync required + native integration into Finder/Explorer. With Google Drive you have to sync (i.e. store locally) to open files with your native app like VLC, or you have to view them on the web if you don't store them locally, which is a hassle for the average joe, and a deal-breaker for the media enthusiasts/XBMC/Plex-ers.

- HLS adaptive bitrate streaming. Google Drive limits the quality, whereas we'll fluctuate the quality of the video based on your bandwidth.
A bot would solve this one with a random selection 25% of the time. You would need multiple puzzles to make this a useful solution.
What did you expect? The VAST majority of people who type "london hotels" are looking to BUY a hotel room in London for the night.

Try a search like "Albert Einstein". No ads.

Are you doing research on hotels in London? Then you'll need to add some more keywords. Google Search is not setup specifically for London hotel researchers.
I'm not sure what the phrasing of the reporting has to do with anything. It's an effect not a cause. The pressure from Wall Street is due to, well, the pressure from Wall Street. If analysts on Wall Street form a consensus around a company's expected earnings, then the market will price in that consensus. If that consensus turns out to be wrong, the market will (in theory) adjust accordingly.

In other words, if analysts are (in retrospect) over-optimistic, the stock temporarily becomes mis-priced and expensive (relative to an unknowable reality at the time) until the earnings report. Usually these analysts' look to the company's guidance (edit: or in google's case, the lack thereof) in forming their valuation. Add it all up and it's hard to see how there is pressure on a company to beat expectations, since they have the ability to set conservative guidance and try to get analysts to come to a consensus that is in line with the numbers that actually come up. If the company is performing poorly, they either depress the stock price in advance (under promise, over deliver) or later (over promise, under deliver) but regardless of when this happens if you buy into the EMH the stock is always trading at the proper value, behavioral economics notwithstanding.

For an example of an exception to this rule, see AAPL which routinely beats estimates yet sells off. One theory is that there is such latent fear that Apple is losing its mojo, each earnings report is a reminder that their growth doesn't compare to the old days, so investors flee despite their return on capital being extremely competitive.
maybe hola.org could help here?
That is difficult to assert since as soon as the DOJ finally did install the tap and got encrypted traffic (as he had told them they would from the beginning) they immediately insisted on the keys.

I can't imagine they would not have demanded the keys if only he had been more cooperative from the beginning. And it is not unreasonable to believe he was fearful of that outcome from the beginning. In fact as part of the tap order he objected to he was required to "assist" which even the court noted was an ambiguous requirement (although avoided a decision on that issue).
Both Angular and Ember. I love them both. Sue me.

I've written 2-3 large applications in Angular, I've contributed ~1200 lines to Angular 1.3, and racked up a lot of points on StackOverflow answering questions around Angular.

However, I'm currently working on a pretty crazy real-time app for Netflix that's all in Ember, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I have the pleasure of working with @ebryn there, and it's been an awesome experience.

In this poll, there are really just those two frameworks. The others frankly aren't in the same league right now.

I've yet to read what I thought was an unbiased, honest comparison of the two. Generally, anyone that does a comparison has one favorite, and the other they barely know. I'm hoping to remedy that at some point, but I still feel my Angular experience out-weighs my Ember experience. At least for now.

However, preliminarily, I can say that both frameworks are absolutely brilliant attempts to solve similar problems in completely different ways. I think they both have a LOT they could learn from one another. I prefer a convention-based approach, which is one thing I love about Ember... That said, I prefer Angular's constructor-based DI over the setter-based DI of Ember... That said, both of them have somewhat primitive IOC containers that could be better (which is a whole blog post by itself)... THAT said, Angular allows developers to put too much logic in their templates via expressions (harder to test)... THAT said, Ember's structure and composition isn't quite as easy to pick up if you're new to the framework... THAT said, Angular doesn't require any other libraries and is very compact... THAT said Angular's directives allow for wild-west spaghetti code and give developers enough rope to hang themselves... blah blah blah

... the point is, I could go on forever. Both libraries have REAL advantages over one another, but libraries have REAL disadvantages over one another as well.

# Embular.js in 2016!! Change the world!

What I'm hoping for is that the incredibly brilliant minds behind these two efforts see the light and join forces. Even work with the folks designing ES6/7 and the future of HTML/DOM...

What I'm hoping stops is the "my framework is better than your framework because _______." silliness.
