This doesn't really answer the question how you know that "4chan has had a lot of beautiful code submitted by volunteers every year." when it's not open source?
4chan Vulnerability Disclosure Program
just so you have more information about where you're going to be sent and the source of said article. It's that simple.
Things I like:

1) The checkbox for visited links. However, I think there should be an infobox (visible by default) explaining what it is the first few times you search. A link explaining how it works (for the privacy conscious) would also be good.

Things I don't like:

1) Moving the favicon below the page snippet. I think it should actually be up top and larger, since it's useful for skimming results.

2) Lack of color/contrast. Feels like someone sucked the life out of the site. This is important, because (for example) when I'm skimming results it's helpful to have the page titles (blue) stand out from the snippet (black).

3) Left-aligned results. I find it easier to skim the results when they're centered, rather than left-aligned. This is something people who have been using Google won't notice, but after reading DDG's centered results for a year or so, going back feels jarring, like I'm going out of my way to read them there. The center of the screen seems to be where I look first for content.

4) Larger header. Vertical space is precious, especially when you consider how much is already consumed by an OS menu bar, browser chrome (titlebar, address bar, bookmark bar, tab bar, status bar) and (on Mac OS) the Dock at the bottom of the screen.
You should read the README before whining. Linux and Windows are also supported.

¿But how did they enter? ¿Force attack?
I haven't tried Soylent; but, its price range and ease of use is making me start to consider it for nights / weekend times that I'm not working and don't feel like going out to eat.

How does it taste? Do you still feel hungry after eating it? And, is there a way to supplement it with other foods, like ... 2/3rds a regular portion + oatmeal, or something? Or maybe flavoring like those syrup pump bottles?
Yeah, feels like there's more "inertia" needed. Subtle, but noticeable. Longer pull to make a move happen.
The creators of the site have a particular political axe to grind, and because they grind it in every question, it subverts its own purpose. Rather than trying to simply ask, "What do I think this number is because of how much I know about the world I live in" it's "What do I think this number is, conditioned on the fact that this particular person included it as a question on the site and chose these particular buckets." Rather than making you better at estimating things, it will make you worse because the questions are systematically exaggerated for difficulty.

Because the goal of each question is to get people to select the wrong answer, the buckets are arbitrarily sized to make guessing difficult, the sources are chosen to be those that have a particular bias, and the questions are worded in ways to make the question misleading on first read.

The main reason this causes me to cast mild aspersions on it is because it's such a missed opportunity. I post this as someone sympathetic to the authors' views, but who is more sympathetic to accurate discourse. People don't know what they don't know, and it's in everyone's best interest to become well-calibrated to their uncertainty. Instead the site will just be ignored by people with opposing political views, and used as back-patting fodder for people who are in support of these political views. It would be much better if it asked a wider variety of questions, scored you based on how close you were rather than simply right or wrong, had ways of signalling and scoring your uncertainty for each question, and had reasonable buckets for each question. I understand that this may not serve the ends of the creators as well, however.

Some examples:

What was the average American college student's college-related debt in 2013? (The actual source is for college GRADUATES, not college students)

How old is the known universe, in years? (One answer is 7000 years, the other is 14 billion years)

What percentage of animal species are headed to extinction in the next century? (This is sourced to Democracy Now! and the exact quote of the source is "Scientists say we are now experiencing the sixth extinction, with up to 50 percent of all living species in danger of disappearing by the end of the century" which is a lot more hedging than the question implies. >10% of the questions on the site are related to percentages of animal extinction [Like what I did there?].)

What percent of U.S. prison inmates are functionally illiterate? (The definition of functionally illiterate is very counterintuitive to the average person, so this question doesn't mean what you think it means)

What percentage of inmates in U.S. federal prisons have mental health problems? (This refers to people who have reported symptoms of mental health problems, not those who were diagnosed as having mental health problems)

These are just the first random questions I clicked on, and by no means exhaustive.
It is a nice concept, but I like Google's homepage as it is. As people say, if it ain't broke...
That's my startup! Sounds like we need better FAQs, thanks!

We've benchmarked against $20,000 clinical research equipment for skin conductance with established research collaborators. So right now we're more a research device but working hard to bring the price down without compromising accuracy. We'll follow that same approach as we add sensors.
I read the source code to this a few weeks ago and got inspired to write my own 2048 clone in my Lisp of choice: Guile Scheme. It was a fun little hack.

OpenELEC 4.0 released
Love this kinda stuff! Glad that there are people out there actively looking for the latest and greatest threats to the internet.
Just don't use services that use DRM. They will stop.
Absolutely not, as I said in the article, I went out of the "wise" way and manually enabled:

1) Password authentication
2) Root authentication
3) Changed root password to "password"

All the providers offer fairly safe defaults, either using very random passwords or just enabling SSH keys.
What steps did you take to get it running on Arch? I got as far as convincing it to use python2, but then realized I need gnome-keyring, and kind of stopped there. Which keyring package did you install?
I won't even give it a chance over ST until I can resize panes, unfortunately. How that isn't a feature is beyond me.
I wish we could post images so you could look at a blind comparison...
It's funny that you mention moonshots. Check out this list of products that spun off from NASA research:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_spin-off_technologies

The list includes stuff like invisible braces, longer-lasting radial tires, foam mattresses, cordless vacuum cleaners, and remote control ovens. Maybe useful-but-not-game-changing projects are an expected byproduct of moonshots.
This release only has one fix, but it's common to have multiple fixes. It would impractical to identify all fixes in a release title, and HN guidelines on titles are to "use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait"
> quit trying to have a good time and pay attention to the game instead!

I admit it, that was me. Playing the game (and the fantasy that goes with it) was always more fun for me :)
It seems to me it may just be that maintaining an open source project might be a little harder than maintaining something that is closed source simply because the maintainers can maintain it at their leisure, rather than having to deal with what comes with having a large open source project. 4chan is probably enough of a time sink for moot as it is.

Personally I believe 4chan seems like a good candidate for the MEAN stack. A lot of the features and boards could be coded as modules and it seems like it would be a lot easier to maintain, but of course this is mostly speculation. What might be cool is if 4chan/moot sanctioned an opensource project (or had a competition) to see if users could create a good open source "foundation" for 4chan and other image boards, then open sourced what was built off of that. I know 4chan has been "re-written" but I imagine some of the code is still original and I don't think any one expects it to be "professional quality" simply because it was written by someone who was (probably) completely new to web coding, so I can see why it may not make since to open source what they have already because it could lead to more bugs than it fixes.
Doesn't the little gray "(thedistance.com)" after the title accomplish that pretty effectively, though?
Slickedit integrates itself with lots of debuggers so I'd assume given enough interest Atom could be made to as well. Besides, given it's based partly based on chromium you could use the chromium devtools as a starting point and try to adapt them to multiple languages.
We've optimized for data quality as I'm a data-oriented neuroscientist with a family history of mental health concerns. So our skin conductance is research grade and we've worked hard to be as thin and comfortable as possible.

That said, I'm really glad to see that Basis has been validating theirs as a sleep device. More validation is a good thing!

How to name your product

Levi-Strauss uses a deliberately retro design language as a core part of its marketing. All those rivets and obvious stitches serve little purpose other than to project an faux-naive olde timey image. I can't see any reason for DDG to follow a similar design approach, unless they want to go for the Steampunk user base.
I'm in no position to say whether this is true or not, but as a banned AdSense publisher who has done absolutely everything in his power to appeal (to no avail), I can say that changing the black box process of AdSense bans into a more transparent process would definitely help Google's case in the future.

If you get banned from AdSense, Google doesn't tell you why. You try and figure out what you did wrong, you reread the terms of service 100 times, you make adjustments and check code, you do everything you can to try and fix the problem because Google AdSense is by far the best way to monetize a blog. In my case, I even shut down all my websites for a year before filing another appeal. My appeal was denied. Why? I have no idea. Google won't tell me. If Google won't tell me what I'm doing wrong, how am I supposed to fix it?

Yes there are publishers out there who game the system and deserve to be banned, but there are also publishers out there who try to follow the rules as best they can, and sometimes they make mistakes. But Google won't tell us which mistakes we make.

People use AdSense to make a livelihood doing something they enjoy doing, and when that gets taken away from them via an automated email that doesn't explain anything, it's extremely disappointing and may lead to backlash.

Transparency and some leniency would go a very, very long way. The ability to state your case to a real person would also help. An AdSense ban is extremely disheartening. It's the worst thing that could happen to a budding publisher because the other options out there just don't compare. Needless to say, I no longer bother blogging.
I would donate as well. It might start getting a little close to vulnerability bounties though... Hmmm...
Except that didn't stop them from acquiring Nest for $3.2b in cash.[1] If the market opportunity is big enough, then shifting money from one pocket to another makes the pants equally as big.

An Epic Review of PyCharm 3 from a Vim User’s Perspective
There's more to it than that. You have to convince others to follow suit. There are far more people not on HN than there are on HN.
One can argue "what-ifs" ad infinitum with no real efficacy or usefulness. Comments of this ilk are completely unhelpful. The parent comment is merely saying that, if one plans on wearing a type of shoe for an extended period of time (dress shoes like an Allen Edmonds Park Avenue, for example, have hardly changed in decades), one might as well buy the best, and have it last for a long time. One actually saves money by doing so.
Quick note: you mean deluded, not disillusioned.

(Disillusion is the disappointment/cynicism/&c. you experience when you find out that you used to be deluded.)
I start reading my RSS feed in the morning sometimes on a tablet. On the bus in the morning, I switch to my phone. Sometimes, when I want to read something in more depth or send to a colleague at work, I open it up on my work computer. Then, at home at night, it's back to the tablet or my laptop.

The operating systems involved include iOS, Windows, and Linux.

Which standalone RSS feed will allow me to keep track of what I've read on all places?
Thank you for putting a name to that! A search for 'Mastermind group' got me a few things to tweak for next time. Part of the focus of our group is geographical - we're all in Toronto, and Toronto startups have some specific problems because of the cultural (read: overly polite) landscape we're a part of, but I could see this working well over skype.
I've been a long-time e-reader user. Started with my tiny HP Jornada in 2002 (Pocket PC anyone?) and I've been through many phones, tablets and e-ink readers.

Obviously it all depends on personal reading preferences but my favorite reading devices are the backlit e-ink/e-paper devices.

- Tablets are heavy. You should be able to hold a reading device with one hand for a long time without an uncomfortable weight.
- Tablets are battery hungry (even though this is usually not a big problem for me).
- There's less distraction with a "reading-only" device.

I understand that you don't want to support Amazon (which rules out Kindle Paperwhite) or B&N (which rules out Nook GlowLight). In the past I used Sony PRS devices and I was very happy with them but I've never used the new ones such as the backlit PRS 700. Maybe something like PocketBook?

Have a look at this old HN discussion. There seems to be some good advice: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4682793
OP may also benefit from the use of an SSH honeypot. I use kippo (https://code.google.com/p/kippo/) with great success. It tracks all commands run, as well as keeps copies of all downloaded files.

In addition, it limits available commands to a certain predefined subset, allowing the host to prevent damage caused (e.g. a DoS attack in this case) by the system being compromised.

> 3. It compares GC to "ideal" manual memory management, ignoring the fact that manual memory management is not free either. Things like heap fragmentation or computational cost of running allocation/deallocation code do exist and may cause also some real problems. The costs lie elsewhere, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

No, it doesn't; it uses malloc and free, counting the costs of allocation and deallocation using a traditional memory allocator. (In fact, if anything, that's unfair to traditional memory allocators, as high-performance code will often use things like bump-allocating arenas which significantly outperform malloc and free. It also uses dlmalloc, which is outpaced by jemalloc/tcmalloc these days, although if the benchmarks are not multithreaded the difference will be small.)

Heap fragmentation exists in GC systems as well, and fragmentation in modern allocators like jemalloc is very small.
I had a similar thought the other day. Taking into account the stories about his character, I could easily imagine him looking around in the hospital and decreeing every bit of hardware and software to be a "peice of shit" (excuse the language, I'm paraphrasing). Add to that his own personal experience with his health, it would be hard to imagine Mr Jobs resisting the urge to put Apple's talent to the task.
Actually, the one on MELPA appears to be a different implementation. There was some discussion about it on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/21mklt/2048_puzzle_in...
Radialpoint Reveals Solution to Help Solve More Problems
Yes, I didn't put it in the article because it was getting too long otherwise, but the attacker immediately tried brute-forcing the root account, and after a handful of common passwords ("qwerty", "qwerty123", "pizza" among those) he found "password".

I was able to find all the attempts by looking at the I/O activity of the sshd process, and also the syslog activity recorded every attempt.

Outside the context of HN, many sites put their name after the name of the article in the article's TITLE element (usually with a separator like a pipe or chevron) so that if the user bookmarks the article the site name is included in the text of the bookmark. That has value, though less than it used to now that browsers display the site's favicon with the bookmark.

In the context of submitting to HN, though, you're right, it makes no sense. My guess is that people just grab the content of the TITLE element and don't bother doing the extra work to strip the site name out.
I tried Atom, and it was glacial.

The editor I use now (Epsilon) was last significantly rev'd about 8 years ago. It's a fine editor, but I'm starting to look for a replacement (and, oddly, I cannot stand where modern Emacs went).

Sublime Text 2 is darned close. If only I could teach it proper bindings of C-U . . .
`&`/`mut &` in Rust is equivalent to `const &`/`&` in C++, but with the addition that the compiler makes sure that you don't keep it around for longer than is valid.
> I discovered early on to buy only games that are either suitable for my two young kids (like Carcassonne, King of Tokyo, Blokus and Labyrinth)

How old are your kids? I would love to add more board games, but my kids are pretty young.

I have a five year old daughter with whom I started playing Forbidden Island about a year ago. She loves the game, though she has her own way of playing, she just loves collecting the "treasures", I usually have to feed her cards so she can do this ;) Adds a bit of a challenge for me to get her the cards before the island sinks!

My son is three, we haven't really added him into the fun yet.
Instead of using the BitTorrent feature of S3, it might be more effective to check the popularity and health of your torrent, and then when it is suitable, spin up a small EC2 instance running a BitTorrent client to seed the torrent. You should be able to achieve better performance this way, and you can shut down the instance when the torrent is healthy.

Alternatively, there is also the possibility of using the HTTP seeding extension to the BitTorrent protocol (BEP17/BEP19) which is supported by most clients.
And AWS isn't seeding out of the kindness of their hearts, you're paying them to.
Doesn't Chrome specifically _not_ optimize asm.js, as well? Wonder if that has anything to do with it.
Feels similar to FATCA requirements: report all transactions that involve even the remotest link to an "American person or company" or you're sancioned from operating in the US and with any "American person or company".
The Google Fiber Effect
You could buy one of the really ugly Chinese e-ink readers, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Kobo makes several very nice ereaders which support EPUB, MOBI, HTML, TXT, even CBR/CBZ out of the box. They technically support DRM through the books sold in their marketplace, but you never have to use that.
I have no idea why you got multiply downvoted. I tried to compensate but doesn't seem to have helped much.

Would certainly love to see your awk implementation. I think I heard of a sed one, so awk would be the next logical progression, may be REBOL too, or its new incarnation Red.
This isn't a copy of sublime. The fact that it effectively runs in a browser opens up all kinds of possibilities. Insert an inline IMG, canvas, webgl, video, svg. I'm hoping to see some amazing extensions from this
Yeah, just to be clear I'm not bitching at maintainers, just giving the perspective of a potential company wanting to use a library. Though usually I do try to follow up if I think the software/lib is really nice, but it's often on a personal level, not for my company.

Documentation is pretty boring to write,and not as fun as feature-du-jour, but may be there could be some guidelines about what a basic documentation should have, specially with GitHub it could be straight forward to have a Markdown template for basic doc (Installation, FAQ, Requirements, Contact points, ...), I know I use one.

Oh I don't doubt that. Just saying that the data is much more valuable if it's in use and anonymization is one way to do that.
If you could snap your fingers and never have to worry about eating food again, would you?

I've always been more of the 'Eat to live, don't live to eat' mindset, but thats not to say I don't enjoy eating, its just at times I find it to be a chore.

I think I'm going to try Soylent to substitute a majority of my meals, dropping in a few real meals here and there, and see how I fare.

Also interested on feedback from someone already using it. Any biological changes (stool, urine, sweat, etc.)? Still hungry after using it? Using Soylent only? If so, how are your energy levels?
That's an interesting project.

Would it have recorded also statistics like the connection activity?

Seeing all the UDP traffic, and being able to trace its origin to the "@udp1 39.115.244.150 800 300" command, received not via shell but via a TCP connection, was pretty cool.

I wonder how it works in Brussels and in Germany, where UberPop has been forbidden.

And does it integrate Uber only (where only legit taxidrivers can participate) or does it also integrate UberPop (that has been illegal in Brussels and Germany). Cause according the website, UberPop is still available in Germany (https://www.uber.com/cities/berlin ) and in Brussels (https://www.uber.com/cities/brussels)...

Anyone knows what specificly is integrated?
5) I hate math because I am not good at it. But It's not so much math in this game as it is logic. Also having gone through Cisco Networking in highschool the pattern 2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024,2048 was drilled into my head.
