Here's an interesting editor that I stumbled across recently, can't wait to use it somewhere: http://madebymany.github.io/sir-trevor-js/example.html.

Rather than offering extensive formatting options, it supports blocks for different types of content. This should make it easier to integrate into well-designed template without fear that the user will break it by abusing formatting, while still allowing to arrange the content freely.

It seems like it would be easy to integrate it with some simple back-end:

> The content of the editor is stored as markdown inside a JSON object, with the structure and the contents of the post serialized inside of it.

And, albeit it's not strictly on-topic, seems like you might be interested in just using a website builder. I don't know about pricing in this area of business, though. From the top of my head I remember http://www.weebly.com is one of these.
> the idea of destroying cancers while ignoring healthy cells is sort if the holy grail of cancer treatment research.

More like: it's the problem that every effective cancer therapy solves in some (so far always limited) way.

I usually don't mention Portal 2 until they'#ve play the original. Avoids the "I don't have time for both right so is it worth it?" thought! Mention Portal 2 once Portal has been played and they want more now...

There are various bits of the commentary when they discuss previous versions of levels and why they changed things after the play-testing sessions. A lot more effort seems to have been expended getting things as close to "just right" as possible than you might first think.
A newer trick (as of Mavericks) is that say can also highlight words while reading text:

That tradition, or the remnants of it (as in retaining -sen as a family name rather than as a patronymic) seem to have almost disappeared in my part of Norway.

I once worked with a guy who only ever slept about 4 hours a night for years. He would then run a full marathon into work every morning. I can tell you right now, his body was there but his ability to do anything other than make small tactical decisions was destroyed. Having a strategic meeting about the direction of the company was pointless, as you could nearly see has brain unable to compute and think at that level. The end of the story was that he died on Mount Everest and the company has basically collapsed because of his poor management and some other financial irregularities.
The problem is the complete lack of front end filtering. They're easily overpowered by a strong station. You're better off building you own with real filters.
Are they arguing over percentage? Whats the percentage of google killing things that it buys or any company for that matter?
My dad has been a MM patient for close to 6 years now and you are spot-on about the disease's general behaviour..

We started with Lenalidomide and was on it until end of last year with breaks of up to 6-8 months where there was no specific meds.. He's now on a Bortezomib cycle which will end in a couple of months and we hope to have some months free of meds again..

We never did the bone marrow transplant considering his age and stress/recovery he would have to go through.. MM is sympathetic in the sense that people who respond to meds can have a high quality of life even while undergoing treatment (my dad is still a practising medical Doctor). Lenalidomide is a tablet that you take at home while you go in once every week or two for Bortezomib shots.. The treatment is also considerably cheaper in India (still not inexpensive by any measure)..

The overarching fear for MM patients is the fact that its indeed incurable and how far/long we can go on before running out of treatment options.. Personally, seeing such trials and success gives us hope and comfort.. OV looks a promising approach and I hope my dad and others will be able to benefit from it..
And how would one order that?
No-no-no. No. We've moved on.

Mayer seems to view Yahoo primarily as a place where you can find all sorts of stuff on one giant app. “Once the user’s in that app experience, the easiest thing to do is stay in that app experience,”.

I think this is a very insightful analysis. I think there are people that like the "yahoo" way of presenting applications. It may look old fashion to others, but there is a market. If it was not the case, yahoo would already be dead. If yahoo changes its mind to do the same as others, they would lose their soul and die. We have similar experience with RIM that left professional phones with keyboard to become an Apple follower. RIM is (almost) dead.

I think most cryptocurrencies will begin to shed their blockchains. They're beginning to get unweildly, especially for Bitcoin (17GB). There's no need to retain a list of all transactions. You only need a consistent set of balances.

Also the energy cost of mining is beginning to become a legitimate environmental concern. I think the new slew of proof of stake currencies are going to give the proof of work currencies a run for their money (pardon the pun).
Is this actually possible? Can they really make a 49-inch 4k screen with a Snapdragon processor, etc., for $640?

Not, it would seem, a panacea. Approach is interesting in that aspects of cancer biology make the cells more vulnerable to viral infection, eg supressed interferon production. Also a possible platform for immunotherapy ie getting the immune system to attack a virally infected cancer cell might wake up a more generalised immune response. But, medical grade virus is expensive to produce, and hard to think how a viral infection could eradicate 100% of the billions of cancer cells present in advanced disease. Also, humans get immune to viruses after infection.
Thanks!! I haven't really looked deeply into Firefox performance but I'll definitely give the two-way switch statement a go: thanks!
I often read that the Bitcoin system has limits for the amount of transactions processed worldwide in a given time frame. I think it has to do with the block chain and the mining, but I am no expert in this topic.

When such payment systems spread, couldn't they overburden the system?

To make it clear: I am a huge friend of alternative payment systems, particularly if they make it possible to have smaller amounts paid on the web without hassle and with less transaction fees. But there are always the people that warn against Bitcoin because of diverse reasons (keywords: inherent limits, Ponzy scheme).

Amusing experiment: have people hold their two index fingers in front of them aligned with the sides of their TV, with their elbows bent an 90 degrees. I find people tend to sit progressively further away from a screen the larger it is, so the screen size proportional to their field of vision remains the same.

What's wrong with the default Terminal application? I use it daily and have been for close to a decade. I never found myself wishing it did anything than what it already does.

> -Use tmux.

Meh. For most people screen works just as well. Perhaps more importantly, you can rely on screen being available pretty much anywhere. Just like vim. Speaking of which: vim is great. Use vim. The world needs more vim.
A datepicker seems missing.
I did not. I wouldn't have noticed if I did.
Have you not been paying attention to the Heartbleed thing? StartSSL is a scummy company that breaks the rules they've agreed to with browser vendors. I would not trust them if I had a choice in the matter.

I have a bunch of domains which, frankly, I don't care enough about to pay money for an SSL certificate for.
I thought it would be interesting to see how http://www.useronboard.com/ stacks up, based on some of the feedback dished out in those teardowns. Some quick notes, based on http://i.imgur.com/mIwr3TS.png, and assuming that the goal is to sell copies of the book.

- There's no call to action at all

- Assuming someone who lands here would have some idea of what user onboarding is, the page doesn't say specifically how this will help me get better at it. Just gives me a definition which I (probably) already know.

- Mentioning brands I recognise (Spotify, Pocket, Pinterest) is good. Makes me curious to know more. But I'm not sure exactly what a teardown is.

- Ahhh, so there's a book that I'll like if I enjoyed the teardowns. I guess I'll look at a teardown and then maybe I'll look at the book afterwards.

- Once on a teardown page (eg. http://www.useronboard.com/how-shopify-onboards-new-users/) there's nothing mentioning the book at all.

- I am now addicted to teardowns and have forgotten about the book. The Training & Contact links at the top do not get my attention. Which is a shame because I think https://www.useronboard.com/training/ does a pretty good job overall.

- Completely ignored the Latest Posts bit at the bottom of the homepage. Looks very similar to the Less Accounting one (http://www.useronboard.com/how-lessaccounting-onboards-new-u...)

Maybe it's not actually trying to sell very hard the book and I'm over thinking it a bit, but I did find it interesting to try and apply what I'd just learned.
This is what you can call real disruption. Yahoo disrupts innovation. And it pays.

I wish fullscreen mode didn't switch to a different desktop. Tabbing out causes this weird "whoosh" animation to play which is so annoying.
"Rich get richer" would be if people with larger shares of the total money supply tended to increase their share.

But with Peercoin, for example, everybody earns annual interest of 1% of their holdings, paid in new coin. Let's say instead we have DennisCoin which pays a whopping 100% and is worth $1 per coin.

If you start with 10 coins and I start with 90 coins, then after a year you'll have 20 coins and I'll have 180. I still have nine times as much as you.

Since the number of coins has doubled, the currency value drops in half. So in dollar terms, you still have $10 and I still have $90.

I tried this with my purdue.edu email a few days ago and it didn't work at all. I think it was because I used a computer in an on-campus lab to sign up. When emailing Coinbase support I got these responses that, while prompt, were unhelpful in actually fixing the issue:

>My apologies for the trouble! In some cases, we may not be able to credit this promotional bonus to new accounts. If we are able to credit it to your account, it will be displayed on the Transactions page immediately after signup.

>If another user used the same device to redeem the .edu promotional bonus, we unfortunately would not be able to credit it to your account at this time.
I use a Seiki 50" 4K display for coding and it was a revelation. I love all the bezel-free screen real estate and I would never go back.

For watching full screen video, I just drop the resolution down to 1920x1080 to overcome the 30hz limitation the display currently has.

More competition in the ~50" 4K space is welcome news.

Currently this kind of embedding (user interface) could cause some problems in some countries like Germany.

In Germany there is a law that when any contract of purchase is made on the web, the decisive button must conform to strict regulations. That is because in the past there where many frauds in Germany where contracts where made by clicking some buttons with and giving the address of the customers that lead to huge recurring costs -- and the customers believed that they just joined a user base without costs. To prevent such frauds, this law was given, but the regulations are rather strict. So the button must clearly tell, that a sale is to be made. I believe thus, a service like in the demo would be illegal in Germany.
Also great if starved of screen space.
The article does, however, correctly refer to people by their given names. You would never refer to Geirfinnur Einarsson by "Einarsson" or "Mr. Einarsson"; even in a formal context, even if he were the president or other high-status person, you'd use either "Geirfinnur" or "Geirfinnur Einarsson".

It's just sad to see Yahoo! in such a bad shape. I was just talking to a friend about the great Yahoo! in the times of Hack Day! and Brickhouse.

They bought some of the hottest startups back in the days (Flickr, Delicious, Upcoming...) only to neglect them, shut them or let them die. These were amongst the first companies that had put the user front and centre, leveraging the fabled user generated content. This was of huge value for any company and they let it slip through their fingers.

Also, at Brickhouse they developed Fire Eagle, one of the first services to work with location, and a great take on it too. A central and independent place where you could post your location to and then you'd grant access to other services choosing the level of detail (e.g. you phone was constantly posting your most accurate location and then Twitter could have access to your current City, Facebook to the Country you're in and Dark Sky could access Lat/Lon).

And, of course, they once owned Geocities.

Then they shut some stuff down, closed Brickhouse and I think they stopped hosting Hack Days. I know correlation does not imply causation but I find it very difficult to dissociate these two situations. How can a technology company thrive if they kill their innovation internal cycle?

Yahoo! seems to once have had one of the best innovation cultures in industry only to see it disappear like this. Everything that has been happening since then (like death by acquisitions) looks like part of the plan or the lack of thereof.

> You can make the terminal start instantaneously instead of it taking several seconds.

Terminal has started instantaneously on all my Macs for years, since the advent of SSDs. A tiny fraction of a second.

If it is taking several seconds to launch, I think something must have gone haywire somewhere.

I don't know much about cancer, but it seems like a common denominator is that they are all forms of unregulated cell growth.

Doesn't that mean there is such a thing as cancer? Perhaps the final cure would be an augmented immune system that can tunnel to any area of the body and remove these cells. Something like nanobots I guess.

Although I do understand your point, that the several hundred forms of cancer in humans require radically different approaches for curing until nanobots.
But patronymics are not used in Iceland the way surnames are used in the Anglosphere. For instance, even in a formal context, Geirfinnur Einarsson would not be referred to as "Einarsson" or "Mr. Einarsson". Also, Icelandic phonebooks are ordered primarily by given name.

After years of living on the command line, OS X specifically, and learning its quirks and tricks, I am actually ready to move on.

Right now I am more interested in creating simple visual interfaces on top of UNIX-y tools, for my own personal use cases. The main benefit of this is the ability to better experiment with and optimize my workflows for different properties as needed through different combinations of single responsibility interfaces and single responsibility programs.

I am sensing that there is great promise in seeing much higher APMs (actions per minute) for many tasks, even compared to the all-powerful command line. Also, there are lots of interesting possibilities for better visual representations of data to improve comprehension and usability.
I wrote a very rudimentary Django module which does that:

I encountered some problems with command-line emacs control sequences not being captured correctly, though the last time I tried was a while ago.
Yeah, and aside from the font I also felt that the transitions were a bit too abrupt, like they just stitched together a bunch of (in themselves pretty) pages.

The German newspaper 'Die Zeit' has been experimenting with this style as well, to the point of (as I understand it) starting Zeit Online as a completely separate department in Berlin.

For example (in German):
http://www.zeit.de/kultur/karl-marx-allee/index.html#prolog
http://www.zeit.de/sport/tour-de-france.html

Generally they're a little more subdued and their work, so far, is not as technologically impressive. But I might actually prefer that.
Being not a fan of UI animation myself, I agree completely. The fastest way to open/close a tab is to not animate it at all. To me, it's rather odd to see concern about a ~5ms difference in animation speed, when they could've made the whole animation take 0ms quite easily --- the faster an animation goes, the more instantaneous and less animation-like it becomes, and when it gets fast enough, there's no point in having any animation.

I wonder if removing all the user-initiated animation from the UI would improve perceived responsiveness dramatically, since my browser has no tab animation and a new tab appears instantaneously as far as I can tell.

That said, it's amazing in a somewhat shocking sort of way to see just how many layers of abstraction and lines of code are involved in doing something like a tab animation (I notice the article mentions CSS, Direct3D, Cairo, SVG, and OpenGL), and then realise that in terms of human timescale, it's still extremely fast.

I've been using Pelican as my static site generator of choice, but I'm frustrated that Markdown and ReStructured Text are the only formats it can handle. I chose ReStructured Text over Markdown, but what I really want is to write org files. I've been meaning to roll my own solution in Emacs Lisp using org-publish plus some custom functions to generate RSS feeds, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
I don't think that's a good analogy, RIM was failing because they stayed the course for too long. As soon as the iPhone came along Blackberry should've jumped on the touchscreen bandwagon. Instead they clung to their keyboard phones for too long and lost many of their regular customers to iOS and Android.

They still had a sizable lead in enterprise but even there they didn't fix some of their fundamental usability issues in a timely fashion, so a lot of enterprise customers started shifting towards Android and iOS.

Blackberry's problem is that it too them far too long to respond to a sea change in their market. Had their first true flagship touchscreen phone come in 2009 instead of 2013 they might still be a big player.
Very nice, great work! Some FYIs: On my iphone Safari browser, I found the next/prev buttons on the viewer to be very small targets. Also, before I noticed them, I tried swiping horizontally on the slide itself, but this triggers some weird zoom behavior. Lastly, it's hard to see the details of the slides when using this device/browser. Again, congrats on creating a great resource!
But the open command doesn't allow you to pass the environment, and Apple seems hellbent on breaking every workaround they've implemented over the years (e.g. ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist).

So, doing Foo.app/Contents/MacOS/Foo is often the only way to launch a GUI app while inheriting the full environment that you have on the command line.

I often have to do this to launch various developer tools, and have them be able to inherent important environment variables, e.g. database credentials or secrets,
I can't help but wonder if mutability and aliasing are secretly the same thing. For example, we can't optimize memcpy by reordering reads if the source and destination arrays are aliased. But if we had a hypothetical language where arrays can be mutable or immutable, we could require the source array to be immutable and the destination array to be mutable. Then we'd be able to reorder reads just fine, because writing to the mutable destination array can't affect the immutable source array!
It isnt 4K!
