My three favorite features of Screen are ones the Tmux devs are strongly against adding.

* Digraphs

* Serial terminal

* Nethack mode

Digraphs are mostly for portability - when ssh-ing from OSX or Windows, I don't need to learn their compose combos. Do "^a ^V | c" and there is a ¢ symbol. It would be nice if the digraph support came from a config file, so new ones could be added.
I once, in a previous incarnation as a naughty law-breaking youngster, frequented a torrent tracker that specialised in games. You should have seen the vitriol thrown around if someone dare copy someone else's copy/keygen/what-ever without giving appropriate credit... I was thrown off the site for pointing out how amusing the hypocrisy was.

Thats true if the results are close, but when one of the options clearly trumps the rest, even assuming there is some fraud ,a disturbing pattern emerges.
The immediate register form when clicking "Get started" is very off putting. I was actually looking for which browsers/OSes you support, not looking to register and get settled. Being able to install it and then "log in or register to sync between computers" would be much nicer.
Nice one! Needs some color may be.

We have a website that takes in user data & gives out pdf made out of LaTeX. Mind if we use this template?

You sure about that? PDFs were never a problem for me, to the point of being explicitly encouraged.
I don't think it looks crappy, though there is a lot on there. I of course haven't seen the previous longer version but I prefer the one page.

Quick feedback - say "Projects" instead of "Side Projects"... don't de-value them off the bat. Shorten Research Experience section (less text) unless applying for a research position.
Do you need relevant coursework section? Mostly assumed in a CS degree, isn't it?
I am around your age and started then as well, also Z80. In my area it was rather normal to just write and run hex in your head. I still know the whole instructionset in hex as I wrote so much code with it. I totally fail to see the reason why anyone did use an assembler for that; I can just read and write the hex codes and did. Besides the time it took to get back after a crash it did not take much more time to 'get shit done' then as it does now. There were just vastly less programmers and thus less code was written. Unfortunately I don't have my 80s code anymore but my output has not changed much; better code and the code does more because of the libraries we have now, but it's around the same amounts. Running code in my head is great and was easier with something limited as an MSX (or zx for that matter); but it gives me a lot of advantage I believe.
Hg is modular and lots of more advanced features are shipped as extensions. Just because they are disabled by default doesn't mean that they are unsupported or are second-rate citizens.
The question should be that but they were arguing for the jury, which if the last verdict is any indication will tend to have a tenuous grasp of what they are deciding on. On the last trial the jury delivered an inconsistent verdict in record time, which it then had to amend, and then the jurors started giving interviews where they basically admitted they went along with the foreman's opinion because he was a patent holder. Even though he totally misrepresented patent law and argued that the prior art wasn't valid because it was from a different type of hardware.
The GPL does require attribution. It was the advertising clause of the older BSD licenses (similar to the one used by OpenSSL) that was problematic for the GPL, because it imposed restrictions on activities not directly connected to the software. You absolutely cannot remove copyright notices from GPL software and claim credit for it.

Indeed; a "negative" outcome wouldn't so negative in the greater scheme of things.
I have tried stuff like that and want HN's opinion.
Product placement is already doing that to an extent. If there were actual banner popups embedded into the video (like Youtube's but not closable) I probably wouldn't watch a movie, even if it were free. It's too damaging to the immersion.
What is the purpose of this landing page?

If it's to get new users to sign up, "Get started" should literally allow me to get started - i.e perform a step that is absolutely necessary towards using the product, not create an account.

So something like installing a browser plugin and/or a sandbox to try the product out - basically anything that gets me to my "aha" moment - would work better imo.
I think that would then convince more people to sign up.
Great work by a great community, congratulations !

Thank you.
I made a bit of money in the early 2000s by writing Flash games and putting Google ads around them. Google eventually banned me citing a "no flash games" policy in their T&C, which (if it existed) was very selectively enforced.

At the time I didn't fight it, just said "OK, I'll just switch providers, please close my account." Google did actually pay me the rest of the money in my account.

But, since then, I've been disallowed from using AdSense on any new sites, Flash games or not, and, weirdly, been banned from Google Code too, so if I want to use a project on there I have to log out first.

I've since stopped using Google services, even learned about postfix & dovecot so I could host my own email. Never looked back.

Shame about the lack of viable alternatives to AdSense, though. I did use AdBrite for a while, though their ads were sleazy sometimes. Now they're gone.
Are there any good alternatives to AdSense?
Map: How each state chooses to execute its death row inmates
keep in mind that while those are notables from 4.2.0 the list of changes since the last screen release is actually huge. vert splits for example was added in 2009, layouts in 2010. they really should have made a few releases in between.

you might find some interesting patches to your use cases in here:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/screen.git/log/?h=screen-v4

given that it takes most distros a fairly long time to adopt new software I would say in a sense the screen devs kind of shot themselves in the legs in a way by not making any intermediary releases.

I guess in a way that's a lesson to us all on how you shouldn't act if you want to keep your customer base.
Yeah, this is complicated, it may have changed but it may still be correct

like a value of 15.000002 instead of 15.000013 but errors may accumulate in the end.
this may sound bumb, but ... with all the designy ui and pristine graphics and all... after staring at it for 10 seconds I still have no idea what is this all about. Everything is way too spaced out and I need to dig deep. For most users these days means they simply leave your site.
Going by http://ycombinator.com/newsnews.html HN was seeing 120k uniques as of 2011. This post has been up for an hour, and attracted 105 poll respondents. (120k / 24) is 5000 users, 105 respondents represents about 2% of that.

So either 2% of all HN readers have had their AdSense account banned, or the poll results are a bit noisy :)

(Obviously this is extremely rough math, but allowing for a huge error margin, 0.5% of HN readers would still seem too high, at least to me)

On saying that, AdSense is an enormous program
I don't really get what the site is about. Sure I can "Drag & drop anything anywhere", but why would I want to spend my day dragging and dropping things around? What does the dragging and dropping enable me to do?

"drupal_sensei" got "hacked"!? Seems ironic, no?
The emphasis I take away from your story is that something may be a good idea, even foundational, but there's no guarantee your team will interpret or execute it correctly.

If you do the math on how much time should be taken up by Agile meetings, it's about 10% of the team's time. Add another 10% for vacation, illness, town halls, dentist appointments, etc. that leaves 80% to understanding requirements, writing code and testing code. Yet the market for "agile consultants" is one of lemons - you don't know if this guy/gal is a huckster or truly working for your success.

Similarly for TDD, I've never heard of TDD being about a team writing tests em masse before code - that wasn't something Kent or Bob Martin ever recommended anyway.

Ultimately this is why I believe the most important roles on a software team are the "management roles" - Product Owner first and foremost. any solid Product Owner I've worked with would have mandated a demo after every iteration and ejected the software team management very quickly if there were no results. Better to punt the problem child early instead of taking the whole team down later!

I found both learning and just writing in Haskell a joy, and I can recommend it full-heartedly. It might be a little hard to get started with ( especially if you're not familiar with functional programming ), but it's really awesome, interesting, and just flat out fresh once you get into it.
Qualcomm takes .doc, .docx, and .txt only. ARM and National Instruments are the same, though they also take .rtf. It depends on what software the company uses; ARM and NI use the same software, so I presume any other company that uses it has the same restrictions.
Please excuse the following pedantry:

"pavor" in Latin is a noun, not a verb. If you want to say "don't panic" you either need some form of the verb pavere (or pavescere, which is to begin to be afraid rather than to carry on being afraid) or to use some circumlocution along the lines of "panic, go away!". There's a discussion at http://latindiscussion.com/forum/latin/dont-panic-or-cease-t... with a number of decent suggestions.

Just out of curiosity, (1) why transliterate into Greek? and (2) is the extra "h" in zhaphod just because someone else registered zaphod 7 years ago and then hardly used it?
Hmm... didn't test for this. We are doing some integrations with 3rd parties. Will try this on their landing pages.

Adsense has an age requirement. You have to be 18 or over to use it. From the terms of service:

By submitting an application to use the Services, if you are an individual, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age.

If you are 18 now I would try again. That they ignore requests from underage people is understandable, when their terms of service state that they are not allowed to join.

Did you not know this or did no one ever notify you of this? It seems that this phenomena does play a role in the online debate. People will say they've been banned and that they have no clue as to why, and that Google gave no reason or ignores their plight. Perhaps some of them did not read the terms of service too?

I see the same cognitive dissonance on SEO forums. People are most vocal when their site got hit with a manual penalty ("for no reason"). They'll ask why their SEO does not work as well, and then you see their sites and everything seems to violate a Webmaster Guideline.

It is not too nice to lose your payout days before you'll receive it. But it is also not too nice to steal money from Google and its advertisers with click fraud. I do not think that Google ONLY bans the fraudsters, never making any mistakes. But I also find it hard to believe that more than 50% of banned users are innocent. This tactic of killing accounts days before payout is to discourage the fraudsters and TOS-breakers, and I still think that is the majority of bans.
There are tools that do something similar. At Siemens we used a tool called T-Plan (t-plan.com) to test behavior of a railroad control system. It wasn't perfect, but it worked surprisingly well. eggplant (http://www.testplant.com/eggplant/testing-tools/) also looked good, but didn't happen to work for our system at the time (not really a comment on eggPlant).

Excellent! I look forwards to grabbing a copy later today.
Maybe you were thrown off because you failed to see the difference between simply copying copyrighted content without permission (filesharing), and copying something and claiming that you in fact created it yourself, explicitly (I made this!) or implicitly, by not attributing the original author (plagiarism).
I just take it that government agencies like SHIELD prevent mass commercial uses of certain technologies so they can have all the cool stuff for themselves.

After all, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe there are flying cars but only SHIELD agents have them.
I think you should increase the focus on being multi-device. You're competing (I think) with Evernote and Pocket for example, both have outstanding cross-platform capabilities.

This looks fantastic when I want to save something from my laptop browser, but increasingly I find myself saving from a mobile. This is fine for Pocket or Evernote, I just share it to their app, but that's not an option here. I'm also not convinced from your landing page that I can have a satisfactory reading experience on mobile, you don't show that at all. You say I can access the data - but assuming you do have a good mobile reading view, you should show that.
A Year to The Day
You can write Julia code in an IPython notebook, which is great. And (as I recently learnt) there's a PyCall package to easily call Python functions from within Julia, so you can take advantage of Python packages too.

I'm yet to try Go, but Julia is great for me: it's like all the good parts of Python + extra speed. You get the interactivity, the good documentation, the community, the packages, and all bundled into something that's easy to use and gives you code that runs many times faster than native Python with no real extra effort.
Some of the reactions here remind me of the time when mp3 starting to gain traction (circa ~1995). A lot of people were worried this new file format would mark the end of entertainment business: who would spend money to buy songs when they could download for free in mp3 format? I guess I don't need to point out how much money Apple has made through iTunes by selling unprotected audio tracks for the past years.

In other words, I see similarities in concerns people are having on Popcorn Time and the introduction of mp3 10+ years ago. Businesses die not because of piracy, but because of lack of innovation and not meeting consumers' needs. period.
They make several separate claims. The claim that they couldn't have copied Apple is a counter to claims made by Apple that they saw it necessary to copy the iPhone to compete. Separately they claim that they're not infringing on the patents, and that Google invented the technology in question first.

MVC verges on religion in certain developer communities, and criticism is frowned on.

No, I'm not being sarcastic and I'm not being funny. The regard it is held in in some communities is radically out of proportion to any rational basis for it, especially the modern meaning of "MVC" which has been loosened to the point of near meaninglessness.
We were thinking about it, but we figured it will confuse users as they will think that you can sort of drag&drop things only on Dragdis. I know not the most intelligent thought to have, but it's really not clear for average user that you need to visit some other website and drag there. And this would only confuse them even more.

Thank you for your comments! http://dragd.is/iY2XH

Actively practicing the patent should be required to hold the patent but unfortunately it's not, and a court ruling can't change that.
I don't understand how this poll could accurately reflect anything.

Other than it being anonymous and open to anyone, the given options are still wide open to interpretation: Waiting until an account accumulates funds does give them a more complete picture to make judgments about the validity of the accrued funds. Also doesn't Google refund advertisers? then what's the motive here?
If I understood correctly I think that's what Uncle Bob was trying to argue for in this blog post.

I don't think having 3-4 tests per LOC is such a bad thing. Far more testing goes into the sqlite codebase and I think it'd be hard to argue that it could have been better if the developers had stopped wasting their time and concentrated on what added value.

Have you ever thought about re-writing 4chan and making it open source? I think a large portion of the community would be willing to contribute.
It's a bit different then this :) We will integrate with Evernote and Pocket so everything from desktop will go to those apps were you said already have a great reading experience.
We have strong mobile strategy, but at the moment focusing to "nail" the desktop experience.

I, too, live under a rock and would like some more info on that.
Making them particularly important. I'm sure Samsung wouldn't mind a finding of "yes you infringed a few patents but nothing that's actually on the iPhone". How valuable can a patent be if Apple doesn't even use it themselves in their competing product?
This is long established practice in the publishing business - publications getting exclusive excerpting rights to upcoming big books. Lewis's name can help move some issues of the Times, and the exposure there helps move some books. Lewis also has a long history with the Times magazine, so it's unsurprising to see them get excerpt rights.

I actually did pretty much exactly this for a previous job for testing a rendering engine - we had a 'golden master' set of screenshots, a bunch of code to render those original golden masters, then used perceptual diff (http://pdiff.sourceforge.net) to check against the golden masters.

It was a bit of an experiment and didn't get used that much - though it did come in handy when trying to write UI rendering that worked with XAML
