SSL should never have been taken as the only requirement for making http communications secure. IMHO, once you send off any piece of information (your personal data, files, photos, videos, etc), you can never know where they end up unless you have encrypted them yourself and they always exist in encrypted form outside of your computer. Data security is really an insurance product, you only know how good it is when something goes wrong.

Slightly off-topic of this article but Cloud security is all the rage these days. Either you set up some sort of app/gateway to encrypt all data which goes to the Cloud for archiving and/or processing and decrypt it when it comes back for viewing/updating/consuming etc OR you buy into the illusion of data security on the Cloud.
Funny that a page about Web usability features a design that's sufficiently counterintuitive (or just plain annoying to smoothly scroll through) that the designers felt the need to add site-specific navigation controls and "click here or press space to scroll down" help text to the page.

Presumably these are the same designers who feel a "push" sign next to a nonfunctional handle is a good design for the hardware on a door.
Restaurants are a bad example. First, have you tried getting a seat at a trendy restaurant on Friday night in SF? Second, most popular restaurants deliberately charge less than an equilibrium price to avoid seeming unfair, and to keep all the seats full. Similarly, popular bands sell concert tickets for less than market rate to avoid seeming elitist, and also to make it more likely to sell out a show, which is more fun for their fans and attracts more attention for the band.

In short, not all business decisions are about extracting the most money possible at the present time. There are often other longer-term considerations.

You can use the 1st letter of domain name in the middle of the base password, you can add the first and the last letter, resulting in a letter which will be added to the beginning etc. And in a 10-12 character password, it's very hard to 'notice' this.

It's definitely not a problem right now. With the current block size limit (and blocks are currently filled less than 50%), it will take at least 20 years to surpass 1 terabyte.

Bitcoin has to become much, much more successful (think hundreds of millions of users) for the blockchain size to ever become a problem.

Nobody is claiming that CutJS is "fast" in a somehow absolute way, I think most HN visitors are intelligent enough to understand that performance depends on the machine running the application and also on the complexity of the tasks that are running.

Speed aside, CutJS seems like a nice canvas manipulation library, I'll have to give it a try.

Common misconceptions about Lean Startup
Note "feeds" is plural. There's no way for a server admin to get a list of other sites you subscribe to, unlike a centralized app like Google Reader.
do you know if it's possible to compensate miners beyond offering them a digital currency? could they, for instance, demand a higher transaction fee? just wondering what happens to the system when we hit 21M bitcoins, and if there are other ways of preserving the blockchain. thanks!
No, I didn't mean RAD by fast, I meant it makes development easier (than not using it) while it is still almost as "fast" as directly using Canvas and "fast" enough for game dev.
As a side note, krill is pretty nutritious - just not widely available to all mammals.
True, but it is quite possible that is you yourself.

If you selfhost your reader, you control the logs. If you use a reader, the server admin might now what feeds you have. But the server who hosts the feed (the blog) has no idea, tracking doesn't work easily - that is still an improvement.
I don't understand the downvotes, it actually is a little annoying on the eyes in FF

The post only says that TextSecure have begun implementing this. The hash-parent-pointers is a good start and enables more functionality in this direction, but it doesn't mention other strategies that actually ensure the user's confidence in consistency. For example, checking for others' acknowledgements, heartbeats, or resending a potentially-inconsistent situation. None of this is that hard, but the post is missing important chunks, yet you are waving this over.

I will also say that whoever has been down-voting all of Nadim's votes (and it seems there's multiple people) ought to be ashamed of themselves. This is ridiculous.
I really like Yii. In my opinion it is exceptionally well designed and offers so much functionality.

It would be golden if IFTTT could also has a channel that does content recommendation based on feeds.

CISC is dead, it's mostly irrelevant, all modern computers are RISC based. x86 CPUs merely have a micro-op translation system. That imposes some overhead, but in modern CPUs with gigatransistors that overhead isn't that great, and usually not a bottleneck.

The lesson of the last 20-30 years is that the ISA is almost entirely tangential to performance. There are some cases where that's not entirely true (like VLIW), but for the most part it still holds. What matters is the core design at a hardware level. And there it would be the height of foolishness to bet against Intel. They've been challenged multiple times by multiple world-class competitors, and they've demolished them.

Why is it so hard to imagine a world where multiple competitors have their niches? Look at iphone vs android, who are in the exact same market, for example, there's room for diversity and competition. The only way Intel could "die" is if they stop paying attention and stop caring about competing, and I just don't see that happen. At the end of the day they still have a ton of talent, the best fab capability and capacity in the world, and the ability to execute on projects successfully.

> Unfortunately Google Reader was the gateway into the RSS realm for those folks who just wanted a quick way to keep track of their news

I confess: I literally cannot understand this. There must be a thousand RSS readers, many of them allowing at least some privacy, some of them by e.g. not running on a remote server, which also means their existence and usefulness does not depend on someone always being kind enough not to pull the plug. What the bloody hell was so special about Google Reader?
Most likely because they also want to target mobile and system browsers don't allow for it.
Making money flipping items through technology
I created this tool that finds inefficiencies in market and utilizes that information to give you URLs for an item (like a college textbook) that you can buy cheaper and sell to a buy back service for a small profit. I charge 50% of the profit. You can rinse and repeat this as many times as you want.

Do you think this is neat? Check it out at http://flippiness.com/
When I started it 2D was enough for what I was trying to achieve, it is also both easier to use and more supported. However WebGL may be added in future, but currently it is a costly development effort for me.
If RSS "died" (and I don't think it did), then it was when the main browsers stopped showing the RSS icon next to the URL and started hiding RSS feeds and links.

From a user perspective, the thing about RSS is that most readers/clients were designed as if they were email clients, where you mark articles as read/unread. Who wants thousands of extra "emails" in their inbox to check every day ?

From a site perspective, most sites were stuffing the whole web page in each RSS article such that RSS was not a summary. Then they realised that people reading RSS weren't reading ads so they either killed RSS or made each article one line.

From a programmer perspective, writing an RSS client became a hello world of applications programming such that there were millions of very bad clients.

RSS is very much alive and very useful; but maybe RSS as we used to think of it is dead. It's a background thing that browsers and applications should make use of

I think the big challenge for RSS and the web in general is link rot.
So CDS_ATOMIC:: and friends expands into barrier instructions that take care of both re-ordering and cache consistency issues?

edit: reading the http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/atomic/memory_order there is tons of data on re-ordering but nothing on cache consistency so I am assuming that's a job farmed out to the hardware somehow.

In that case ignore above comment :)

It is interesting that browsers have had settings for years related to font sizes, like preventing fonts smaller than a designated minimum size, yet colors and contrasts are still completely up to the web site owner.

OpenSSL CVE-2010-5298 / CVE-2014-0198
Two more vulnerabilities patched so expect to be seeing package updates soon.

The 4 year old CVE-2010-5298 is described as

"Race condition in the ssl3_read_bytes function in s3_pkt.c in OpenSSL through 1.0.1g, when SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS is enabled, allows remote attackers to inject data across sessions or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and parsing error) via an SSL connection in a multithreaded environment."

The more concerning part obviously being data injection.

CVE-2014-0198 is described as "A null pointer dereference bug was discovered in so_ssl3_write().
An attacker could possibly use this to cause OpenSSL to crash,
resulting in a denial of service."

Clearly in the wake of heartbleed OpenSSL is undergoing serious scrutiny; and hopefully this results in a wider attitude change:

Just because something is opensource doesn't mean someone has audited the code for you, it's there you can read it yourself ... 20:20 hindsight eh?

Ah well sleep is truely for quitters ... headdesk
Yes, a scene graph is a scene graph but by pinning I meant "how" the positioning is "described", not the fact that it is positioned.

The game O! is open source. Everything is almost possible with HTML/CSS too, the point is performance across different devices.

Thanks, found and corrected the error.

It'd be very interesting for a major player like Wordpress.com or Feedburner to release some statistics on the number of view their feeds actually get now compared to, say, 5 years ago. I suspect your "stronger than ever" is not backed up by the evidence.
Exactly that's right, WebGL needed 2D fallback anyway.
looks like more than 50% to me (profit $4.04, pay $3 to buy) Does it include shipping?
I'd guess the English title is a play on the phrase "The Man Who Counts" (in the sense of 'who matters'), which is also the title of at least one book ( http://www.amazon.com/The-Man-Counts-Poul-Anderson/dp/044151... , a good tale).
In that case, the server hosting the feed does now nothing about you as soon as you are not the sole user on a server hosting a feed (I sure wasn't sure how to interpret that, so I tried to cover both cases)

The DDG team still cannot get the simple concept of seraching correct. We have had a website online for 3 years, every other major search engine finds and ranks it accordingly yet DDG doesn't even include it in their results.

If they're missing our own website from results how many other websites are missing from results which ends up not giving the user the BEST choice of options when performing a search.

Firmware?! Last one of these I built had a simple multivibrator and a 4017 plugged into the RF front end which was pretty simple as well - just a crystal osc, mixer and antenna tuning and that was it. That was good for a 6 chan TX at least with a quarter mile range.

Conferences in this day and age are strange beasts. The value of going to listen to someone is, IMO, lower relative to the past because of videos, and, even better, transcripts and notetakers who summarize and eliminate all the blah blah blah. The value of talking to people in person though, is still pretty high, as well as serendipitous meetings and discussions. I'd love to see people experiment with different formats that involve less of the former and maximize the latter.
That's a slick RSS reader. I have previously used The Old Reader for its simplicity. I am currently using Feedly as it has good Android support and are doing good job with Evernote integration. Thanks for suggesting the RSS reader and the age RSS app.
