Google as an organization has my mobile number from a variety of sources, but that doesn't mean I want to associate my mobile number with my Hangouts usage in such a way that other people with my phone number can automatically contact me via Hangouts.
As an owner of a Bitcoin ASIC, I don't _think_ they're usable for general SHA-256. I think they're all specialized for SHA-256(SHA-256(X)), where X must be a packet in a bitcoin-specific format.

I agree with core days instead of core hours. The commute can be a big deal. My team at work has de facto core days Tue through Thur, with most people working from home Mon and Fri. I think it's pretty close to an ideal situation.
Comparing "hello worlds" is a fairly poor way of getting an idea of how much complexity/boilerplate you can expect from a language. It's better to compare something more substantial, like quicksort implementations:

How Do I Copy a DVD
How do I copy a DVD? Some DVD fans may still be looking for a professional and easy manner to copy DVDs. Here I recommend you DVDFab DVD Copy. It can copy any DVD to blank disc or on to the hard drive on your PC, with only a couple of clicks. Next let’s take a look at how to copy a DVD with it. You can learn more about the page at:http://www.dvdfab.cn/dvd-copy/how-do-i-copy-a-dvd.htm?ad=hcj
Not just a boycott, but I simply have no reason to use Dropbox. It's more expensive, does nothing Google Drive can't do, and on top of that, has all the political issues.
If this was a serious question, the serious answer is that I type a good order of magnitude faster than I write by pen and paper. And the ability to delete is useful.
Any good observations what differences there are between Metalsmith and Assemble?
That's in part 2, linked at the end of the article.
This is more what I was getting at, or at least what seems evocative about writing on vintage hardware; being disconnected.
This looks handy, I might use this as a part of a super-side project to get my 73yo relative to stop creating exams using MS Word. (Years and years of exams/tests, locked up inside zillions of MS Word files!)

Can this handle nested conditional forms?
I don't understand this - I saw the Wilson's algorithm [1] generate huge loops as it hit the existing maze. Does it subsequently erase them?

I couldn't see how the tree could possibly handle loops.

I've seen the GPL accompanying a TP-Link wifi device, with a link to http://www.tp-link.com/en/support/gpl/.

This seems to be Pioneer's GPL source code site: http://www.oss-pioneer.com/car/navi/files/ . I don't see AVIC-5000NEX there, but a variety of other AVIC devices are listed.
I'm slightly confused as to why this perfectly valid question is downvotable....going against the hive mind?
Here's why: almost all materials used in 3D printing exhibit some structural problems in the curing phase.

For example, ABS and PLA have well known shrinkage when they cool. ABS can be a few % per layer. Each layer, then, is pulling against the previous. Imagine printing something like a flat disc. It will "want" to peel up at the edges. The larger the object, the more significant this shrinkage is. At 12" you are truly going to have problems.

For SLA printers like the Form1 and other printers that use optically cured material, the problem is the same. These parts exhibit "creep" and "warp" and in fact, many of them will warp badly in sunlight long after they've been printed. Also, depending on the mechanism of feature formation, the device doesn't scale. Look at the B9Creator with its projector - the larger you go, the less resolution you have.

While I have seen and produced prints much larger than you are talking about (on both professional and hobbyist printers), they have problems and limitations that could not be solved by simply extending the mechanism.

> There's no real benefit (and lots of downsides) as a developer if you don't need the Mac App Store for the exposure.

Exactly right. I would say that most people in the market for Photoshop know they need Photoshop itself. Adobe is pushing subscription based services as much as they can, which are at odds with the App Store model.

There some great alternatives though if you don't need PS: Pixelmator and Acorn are both capable image editors and both are on the MAS.
> I think there are much better options now than there were 15 years ago.

What are these? (Honest question. I am aelf-taught, first in immediate mode so tend to agree with parent comment that this is a sensible approach. If there's a better way of understanding the pipeline than starting this way - I don't know it)
The end of this article is particularly interesting. And as it happens, this happened just after Vic Gundotra was fired.
Wouldn't that be nice, if you could circumvent the GPL by bundling a $1 cpu with your package? ;)
Thomas Edison and the Cult of Sleep Deprivation
I love the Mac App Store. No worrying about licenses, zip files, DMGs, or updates. The Featured tab always highlights some cool app I wasn't aware of. Aside from these kinds of developer headaches, I think it's a huge win for the platform.
> May". We're still changing a closed plugin to an even more closed black box (or actually multiple black boxes), which could be doing god knows when you're not looking (and even when you are looking).

It's more scary than a black box, it's a black box where it is illegal to discuss any vulernabilities or bugs due to the DMCA. At least this black box will be inside of an opensource sandbox that is publicly auditable and testable.

> And even if Mozilla manages to negotiate some promises of privacy for Firefox users,

Mozilla already has commited to providing privacy protections that are superior to the current DRM implementations.

> what about other browsers - will their users get it just as good when they switch from Flash/Silverlight to some DRM black box?

That depends on how good a job Mozilla does at shaping the marketplace and consumer expectations. It also depends on how good a job we do about educating the public about the risks (security and otherwise)

>but Firefox hopping in surely doesn't help the situation any.
Why can't it? Why is that sure?
The word "trash" is far too much typing, so we should shorten it to "tr" "as" or "sh"

heartbleed vulnerability is gone. Have fixed it.
I love Dropbox for exactly this reason. I can back up dotfiles, game settings, preferences, my music library... anything anywhere on my disk, as long as I symlink it. It does slow down some operations (since a Dropbox RMI needs to be called whenever one of those files changes) but it's saved me so many times, it's hard to believe.
Does a Rhinoceros Have a Right to be Forgotten?
It's not just a question. It's also an implication that the people you're replying to have claimed there is "something inherently wrong with content creators controlling how their content is consumed". Such a loaded question is unfair and downvote-worthy.
Thanks for the correction! For some reason I have always been under the impression that we don't have any samples left...
> People will not use a browser that does not support Netflix.

As a flat out statement, that is false. Some people will use a browser that doesn't support netflix, namely those people that don't subscribe to netflix.

The question becomes HOW MANY People will not use a browser that does not support Netflix.

The point is, there was no data provided to use to answer that question.
Replying here because I may have your attention. Feel free to remove, because after that my purpose would have been served.

I am well aware of your position, and I do try to correct comments that I feel were unfairly down-voted. However, I dont like this solution at all.

> For example, the comment score you're complaining about was corrected hours ago.

I had upvoted it to compensate for the downvote myself. If this was a single instance I would have moved on. I am seeing this too frequently and I dont see how else I can bring this to your attention. (If there is an alternative please do mention, Would be happy with a Ask dang page.)

A downvote is unfriendly (although sometimes it is indeed deserved). An unfair downvote may or may not get corrected, and now I can only correct it and not give it a positive karma that I otherwise would have liked to. That does not seem to have been the HN way.

It still would have been fine if the downvote pattern would have been as before.

Compensatory upvote has been a part of HN since ever. It is not a new invention.

Its the recent uptick in downvotes on perfectly benign comments (not mine) that is bothering me.

What is bothering me is that I noticed that downvoting has acquired a distinct hair trigger edge and a tendency leaning towards petty disagreements. There is a heavy feeling of over moderation in several threads. I am not an old timer by any means but have been around for a while to know that this feels very alien on HN, unsavory too.

On the contrary, this mythical "highly toxic comment" that is being used to justify the change I have seen very little of. Far rarer than a new story with half the comments greyed out, for the entire night.

I love spending time here, I am sure you would want HN to be something like that, so wanted to bring this to your attention even though I was sure this will get downvoted. If this causes some reflection, thats a tiny cost to pay.

Finally, like with system administration, good moderation is one that is barely noticed. I sense things are getting a little overboard. Just an FYI
Where did I say "difficult"? I said "pain point", which is different. In my experience, same as your sibling comment, you end up having a lot of boilerplate and it's just convoluted. Mocking out stuff should be simpler, in my opinion. How about auto-generating Jasmine spies, for example?
> Isn't is illegal, or impossible to order online, if you dont run windows in South Korea also?

So far, yes.

Things are beginning to change because Chinese consumers are crowding into Korean stores, both online and offline. Even the President is concerned that the old system hurts the economy by turning away potential buyers. Guess what, one of the perks of being a semi-authoritarian culture is that if the President complains about something, everyone rushes to find an alternative ;)

In any case, I wish there were more competition in the payment processing scene of my country as well. Most people haven't even heard of PayPal here, let alone newer and better alternatives. Perhaps once we get rid of the ActiveX dependence, more startups will be able to enter the market.
Most piracy isn't about Joe Bloggs giving the video to his friends. It's established institutions uploading videos to popular torrent sites, where they get millions of downloads. There is simply no way to prevent that.
Octopress is built on top of Jekyll and is geared towards making blogs to host on Github Pages (they'll run jekyll, but not any plugins, so you need to have a weird deployment setup if you want to use things like Haml and Sass). Jekyll itself is more of the lightweight, no-frills vanilla version.

Here is something I made in php,

I made it because I found the existing ones unnecessarily complicated, for doing something trivial as converting a bunch of markdown files into html.
> At the very least doing this now instead of years from now when it might start mattering (like what happened with h.264) does not exactly demonstrate sticking to their guns.

Ah, but the flipside:

Doing this now, as opposed to years from now when the technology is established, gives Mozilla more influence over the form that this DRM takes, the protections that are available to consumers and the marketplace in general.
The software engineer parallel isn't totally the same. It's hard to understand unless you've been there but military exercises/war are an all-encompassing thing. You're eating and breathing this stuff 24/7 whether you like it or not. During these things, it can be difficult to feel like you're a civilian, especially when you can't even wear civilian clothes.

But yeah, you are right, there are some people who can do it all day and night and still not get enough. War movies and books are very popular with Soldiers.
The content providers start blocking firefox from accessing their content. It will eventually be easier to use chrome, IE, or whatever instead of using a work around to keep on firefox. It will lose a large portion of its user base and then its funding as it won't bring in as much from default search provider contracts etc
I realize there are all sorts of issues with regard to practicality, but I can't help but think, "I might just get my Star Wars hovercraft after all."
I'm curious, what other reasons did you have to switch from Clojure to Go? I love coding in Clojure, so I wonder what would make someone "like me" switch.
> When you send a message, you send it through one channel or the other explicitly. Google doesn't ever guess how you wanted to send it, so they can't guess wrong.

Well, that's potentially misleading. Hangouts (at least, the Android app) does show an icon showing how the message will be sent, but it sets the default based, I'm fairly certain, on the last message sent either direction in the conversation with the recipient (I do know it gives you a message explicitly telling you when it changes the default and why.)

You can tell it to send by a message other than the default (there's a button right on the main UI), but it does guess.

If Mozilla only fights 1 of 4 of the 'important' battles, that's still better than fighting 0 'important' battles.
Which goals are you referring to? There's nothing in their manifesto about market share:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/

They talk about providing a platform for building stuff in an open way. You don't need market share to provide a platform.
If you think that Google is nothing more than a word index, and not a corporation, then you are delusional. It's as simple as that.
Not only can they sell your browsing history, they are in the unique position to associate your current IP address with your browsing history, and sell real-time access to that information. If I open up an Incognito window right now and go to a site I've never visited before, they couldn't serve me targeted ads, because without cookies they'd have no reliable way of knowing that I was the same 111.222.111.222 that connected a few days ago. But now, AT&T could set up a server that ad networks can call out to, that can return a browsing profile if queried with an IP address. You've given them permission to do that. As far as I know, Tor is the only way to circumvent this... and with the forthcoming FCC rules, Tor traffic could be significantly rate-limited. This is a pretty big deal.

>It was nice to be able to quickly get some stuff going and then realize "Oh wow, my program is slow." Then I learned how to use VBOs and shaders and eventually got a pretty good handle on how to work it all.

Unfortunately this doesn't always work. For some programs (typically small ones, not really representative of common usage) the deprecated functionality will beat out the modern functionality in performance, until you scale up. I've seen this several times with display lists in particular.

Which will typically leave newbies with the feeling that the new functionality is crappy and slow.

Looks good. I love the concept.
I have couple of questions:

Is it possible to create lookup tables which then can be used in the form for data input? For e.g. Contacts: that get populated from my address book table? etc ...

Also is there a workflow process in the pipeline?

Good work!
Comcast could mandate a monthly data cap on all customers in the next five years
Why Yahoo Keeps Killing Everything It Buys
I also typically look outside the app store first for a couple of reasons:

1. I've gotten burned more than once when developers have placed major updates to their apps in the app store as separate products, requiring me to pay full price for an update to an app I already own, whereas I would have been able to purchase them for an upgrade price if I'd bought it directly from the developer.

2. I prefer the flexibility of purchasing through the developer. I use homebrew cask and love being able to install things that way. Also, developers occasionally sell cross-platform licenses if you buy from them directly.
I think you'd see much greater adoption if you included the core HTTPSB library within an easier user interface, specifically targeted to blocking ads / ensuring privacy. At the moment it's a hacker tool that can block ads if you configure it correctly.

If that's not what you're interested in, more power to you, it's just a suggestion since the use-case isn't obvious especially to a "regular" user.
The Story Behind Payment Disruptor Stripe.com (2012)
It seems there's been quite a bit of talk about collaboration/review in science and academia as of late. Makes sense, as there are some real unsolved problems here.

Shameless plug: I'm also working on tackling peer review, but from a bit of a different angle. Penflip.com (https://www.penflip.com/) is like GitHub for non-programmers. It hosts public and private writing projects backed by git repos, but the interface is stripped down and simplified. Command line access is unnecessary (though still possible) thanks to an in-browser writing interface.

While still relatively early in development, I think Penflip has big potential in academia and science. If anybody here is interested in this space, I would love to hear your thoughts on my project.

I came here to comment that it is a little strange that a project organized around web publishing would not have hyperlinked footnotes. I had forgotten how distracting it was to have to scroll down to the footnote and then scroll back up and try to get back to where you were in the paper.

Halfway through this comment I realized that I could not recall if there was any discussion about uniform publication style/format. Would papers in the OJA all have the same format (including hyperlinked footnotes!) or would it be a potpourri of different formatting quirks?
Does it matter if it's 30% or 50% or 80%? Ignoring any of those numbers of users is not a viable strategy. People want to watch their Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad or the next high-quality show that comes out, and Hollywood is going to put that show on EME only. That's going to be a lot of people.

We can't predict the specific number but we don't need to - we can very reasonably expect it to be large.
This highlights the importance of obfsproxy development for tor. Not only can it allow tor's use in regimes that employ deep packet inspection to prevent tor traffic, it could also prevent throttling of tor traffic, as it would look just like normal traffic.
