I actually agree! I started with haml because it's what I knew best at the time.

The parser is separate from the compiler and the runtime, so it should be simple enough to add a jadelet, anglet, or any other simple style of adapter.

If there is a lot of interest in a jade focused style or haml is a turn off for many people then it will become a priority for us.
Oh, you know my friends?

Awesome.

Hey we're going to grab coffee next friday, you should come along!
I see why I might register my bike - in case its lost or stolen. But why would anyone look up a bike in there? Either its not in there - time wasted. Or it is - there goes your sale. Net value: zero or negative.
Well, it's presumably what the people of those states want.

I'm a bit of a federalist (at least for now). I live in a state whose liquor laws I generally like, and if other states want different liquor laws that is their prerogative.
It's not really HN fare, but for all the baseball fans it was pretty shocking news. My favorite stat (care of Jayson Stark) is that in 129 ABs, he never struck out combined against Pedro Martinez and Greg Maddux.
When is the DOM updated? Are the changes performed as soon as they are observed or are they queued? Does Hamlet implement some kind of "virtual DOM" for diffing or does it sync DOM and model directly?

Looks very nice, just this weekend I looked at some frontend frameworks, including Vue, Mithrill, Ractive and React and found some issues with them all. Hamlet would fit my use case very well, I think. One thing I'd like is more technical details on the main page - not how it "looks like" compared to other frameworks, but how it does its thing (compared to other frameworks).
Well, for a potential buyer of a bike the value is much larger than zero. After all, who would like to buy a stolen bike?

Registering your bike and possibly mentioning that fact on your bike using a sticker might even help as a deterrent.
If Craigslist/eBay force you to include a serial number when listed, then it might dry up the market for stolen bikes.
"Governance in a Box" would be a better description. Imagine anything that needs to be governed by consensus, including corporation bylaws, town ordinances, 'foundation' advertising spends, Internet group meeting agendas, etc. Eris appears to be a basic framework for instantiating any of these in a way that brings trust and high transparency to a group of individuals with common goals and interests. It's one of the more powerful things the blockchain brings us!
So the purchase price was above 10m? They turned that down when salesforce offered..
Well if you read a few paragraphs into the article, there are examples like Code for America doing an adopt-a-fire-hydrant app in Boston. Which gets repurposed as an adopt-a-tsunami-siren in budget-strapped Honolulu, at a cost of ~$20/month. I don't think people need to be rabid nerds to see processes in government that could be improved. The article is about more people having the general mindset about how they could be improved.

In the middles ages, maybe some scribners thought the world would be a better place if everyone were literate? That doesn't mean everyone should be a professional author. But they should be able to participate in a world full of writing and reading.

By the way, the article has a comment by rms, so it's worth at least scrolling to the end, even if one lacks time to read the whole thing.
Still playing it. I seem to be stuck with no ore, but needing ore to get miners to collect ore?
Also, even an immoral buyer would be dissuaded from buying a stolen bike if they knew it would be harder to sell it later...

Interesting. I've been thinking about this recently and, yes, while I can sit in front of a computer screen for eight hours, I reckon I'm only productive for six hours. So I try and work in three 2-hour bursts.

It's worth saying that my situation's slightly different in that I work for a tech company, but I'm not a coder.
So if I point a FLIR camera at your house and show every human in it and broadcast it on the internet, that should be public too? I can see it from the street, after all.

The resolution limit is due to privacy concerns, the same as with the FLIR cameras.
Just a thought: Would it be possible to scale this technology up to the level of a car using folded graphene to act as the wheels?
I've been thinking about it for several months now. Blockchain technologies make things like this a reality - we just need someone to write the software and make it easy to use for multiple use cases. I'm thrilled to see someone working on it so soon!
Even if you were right, that comment was unconstructive. If you think someone's wrong, argue the other side, don't just call them names. And equating youth with stupidity is as dumb as it is rude.
Think as a buyer: if you see a good used bike and the owner is not willing to tell you the serial number, you can be sure that it is not a safe purchase.

If you buy stolen property in the US, even if unaware, you must forfeit it when the owner or the police catch up with you. If you're aware, it's illegal.

Better not buy that stolen bike then, huh? Even better, to call the proper owner and relay them the details of the person selling it.
Really nifty and very well done.

If you have time down the road you could think of implementing one feature that every modern text editor for some reason lacks: autocorrect. TextEdit on Mac has some form of autocorrect but mostly sucks, I don't know why in 2014 we're still using the backspace but I feel it's time to move on.
In many countries, you can be punished for buying a stolen bike (or any other item). Is this not the case in the US, or do people consider the probability of punishment so low that they don't care?

So I am big fan of BTSync, it works really well and displaced used of DropBox mostly. I use DB only with apps on ipad that have that integration.

I think both use dropbox or btsync for this is a little weird. I wouldn't do it. It is not hard to publish sites.
Get a side job that allows you to interact with customers and co-workers keeping in mind what types of people work at and patronize the place.

The whole point behind regulatory capture is that "whether or not the sky has fallen" is not necessarily a deciding factor in creating or keeping a law. So, no, it's not really relevant that the lack of a law in another country has worked out all right.
I lived in the bay area for a few years just after college. I moved there alone without knowing any friends in the area.

I'm white, american, fluent, and witty enough that I can regularly make my friends laugh. But even despite those advantages, I felt a strong sense of recognition reading this post - I felt exactly the same way about my ability to connect with people, and about the weekends.

I think there's a structural problem with the bay area in that sense. Making friends at work is tough because everyone lives at least 20 minutes away, probably much further. The geography means everyone is really spread out. Most of the peninsula doesn't have natural hang-out areas. And the general professional emphasis in the bay area means that everyone is friendly enough to give you 1-2 minutes, but then they're on to the next thing.

I honestly don't have a lot of suggestions to give, other than to say that the problem might not be YOU. You might have to move somewhere where there is a better natural support network, and there really are such places. I moved northwest and ended up feeling like everyone was an order of magnitude friendlier and more open.

Barring that, I'd focus on doing things like joining a church where there is a cultural fit - even if you aren't religious - or trying your hardest to find local meetups where the emphasis is more on a common interest than on meeting other people - in that environment, you can rely on the common interest to talk to people, and slowly turn it into a personal relationship over time.

Overall I just wanted to say I really feel for you - that doesn't sound fun and it's easy to tell from your writing that you're a good person and would have a lot to offer in terms of friendship (or relationship).
Why would a thief register his stolen bike online after the fact? I think you've got this mixed up, these registries only work when people consult them before buying.
I was using it to deploy my web apps, and keep my 2 servers in sync. But lately i am facing issues with it. Once in a while my bittorrent sync on server shows No device connected, even if my local machine is online. Thankfully i am using ec2, so spinning up a new instance from few days old AMI is easy and usually btsync starts to work again on the new server. Now looking into different solutions.

Android’s new permissions: Unappreciated by many, disparaged by few
The current implementation performs changes immediately. There is no virtual DOM, as soon as a change occurs the model is update and vice versa.

The Observable component invokes the callback to all listeners immediately when its value is changed. I find this makes testing and debugging somewhat easier than async callbacks or nextTick.
Absolutely not, I was just curious what was being used for that statement.
Android users worried about the new Android permissions aren't the users this update was intended to help. Android enthusiasts - the minority of the Android ecosystem - know enough to protect themselves against the perceived flaws. The controversy that surrounds this update is clearly an example of what Voltaire referred to when he said “perfect is the enemy of good” two and a half centuries ago.

I like 5iler a whole lot and I second adestefan's advice. I use a Linux system and don't have cmd keys. I'm wondering if, since some browsers (at least Chrome + Safari) use cmd+1/2/3 to switch tabs, if maybe replacing cmd with ctrl would be easier for everyone involved?

Great app and excellent design. Call me a fan!
It's quite clever, but I think the pedagogical function is questionable, because I don't think that the geometric interpretation will be particularly clear to players who haven't read these articles.

The idea of the game seems to be to show people that public-key cryptography exists and can work, yet the actual method of creating the public and private keys (and the fact that the public key can be created easily given the private key and not vice versa) won't be especially obvious.
Do you have to include the literal phrase "our incredible journey" in the acquisition or shutdown announcement to be eligible?
Well done for writing about this. I think that people in SV think that this is such a simple issue, if your startup is "doing well" (or if you say things are going well) then you're fine but people are much more complicated. Also that certain feelings are something to be expected and not to be dealt with or talked about. We doubt our abilities, we worry about our external perception, how others will treat us if we fuck up.
No, it's not. And it saddens me that you think it is. This is an issue of regulatory capture, not "Should we have these laws." The entire article is about regulatory capture, and how special interest groups are able to effectively block changes to these laws. The fact that Europe (or at least some of Europe) doesn't have these laws is completely irrelevant.
Not really, from what I understand. Seems they are exchanging a symmetric key via RSA to facilitate two-way encrypted communication. This is pretty standard, browsers do this via TLS.
I see you can also use `%button(click=@hello) Hello!` in the example page: http://hamlet.coffee/garden/

I think the general priority has been to improve single thread performance and for good reasons.

While there are plenty of problems that are parallelizable, a great majority of problems are sequential. Even if you think of say on the OS level - of running every process on a separate CPU/core/whatever - the single thread performance still comes out being the most important factor

Great write-up. Would definitely prove fruitful for YC if they manage to support foreign startups. Growing name recognition in other nations is a huge boon; not to mention, as the article said, there is hella good talent elsewhere in the world.
> Believe it or not there are people out there that think that foreign accents and English learners are cool.

Not only that, I think that a person who has an accent and speaks English imperfectly, yet carries himself confidently, is particularly intriguing to many people. They're often more interesting than the normal confident guy, because there's an element of mystery. "This guy is really cool and is probably popular where he came from. I bet he has lots of interesting stories to tell about things I've never experienced."

Also, foreignness is probably the best conversation starter that I can think of. People love asking about where you came from, and if it's true that so-and-so happens there, and what do you like about America? People LOVE teaching the basics about their culture to curious foreigners, it makes them feel like an ambassador.

There's so much you can ask other people ("how does X work here", "Did you grow up doing Y?"). If you can't think of something to talk about, talk about food. There's a million conversations you can have about food to someone from another culture.

In short, don't feel intimidated by being foreign - it can be a huge advantage to you once you get confident!

I don't understand your point with the survey.

The USSR did contribute to the defeat of Germany. People's impression of how much of an impact the USSR had does not mean they thought the USSR was a force for good.
Bryan Hance has been doing great work on this front for a long time. When I was making software to monitor CL, he recommended the free version to his users that needed to be alerted when their bikes went on sale. I was glad to be able to help.

Too bad CL doesn't like people using tools like that to find their stolen bikes, tools, etc...

Strange that little correlation data is provided. Microdata is available from the BLS on what people spend time on, sliced by income and poverty.

Checking whether poverty or low income are correlated with having little time should be a fairly straightforward python/pandas job. It seems unlikely that the money-poor are also time-poor (given that the main cause of money-poverty is not working), but it's straightforward to check in any case.

Yes; we've buried this as a dupe.
Reactivity is becoming an imperative. The browser of the future will let us code in a reactive language instead of forcing non reactive html or js on us. I'd love to see something simple for other languages and platforms as well.

I love that it seems to not be tied to node out of the box as well.
They do not give numbers, but I also doubt that "largest" claim.

The USA is a lot larger, but the Netherlands has a national register of every bicycle reported stolen to the police (https://fdr.rdw.nl; very much spartan interface). They do not give numbers, either, but at 100k+ reported bicycle thefts a year and running since 2008, there must be over half a million stolen bicycles in their database. Google tells me that newly sold bikes also end up in that database. I don't see how they would need that data, but the site reportedly _started_ with over 4 million bicycle numbers.
Heh, that makes sense:)

I guess when I read "So I'd ask you to ask yourself: is your problem really about meeting people, or is it about staying engaged with people?" ... it seems really obvious that the problem in OP's case is the former.

Since our parent comment used OP to springboard into his own topic, I hope it's considered fair that I used the parent to springboard back into OP's case:)
> "The largest and most effective bicycle registry ever"

I guess an average Dutch cities municipal "registry" has more bikes than this entire Database at this moment. Though certainly not as "effective" in the sense of being userfriendly. But seeing as that in the Netherlands the police estimates just under one million stolen bikes annually, there is a great opportunity for bikeindex.org in the Netherlands.
AT&T and Udacity partner to create the 'nanodegree'
Counterpoint: Panama City, Panama.

You're not wrong in what you say regarding the necessity of public transportation and the benefit of taxis instead of personal vehicle ownership, but the free market will have no incentives to reduce congestion until such point as people would rather walk. Panama City has less incentives to clog the roads in that taxis are universally unmetered; where taxis are paid per-minute, congestion is profitable.

Despite the lack of metering and a recently-introduced subway, Panama City has terrible congestion. There's always a taxi when you want it, but a lack of regulation means that it will almost certainly be in a barely-roadworthy condition, and if you are traveling at peak hours you may as well walk. I'm told it used to be worse, that taxis would not even take you if your destination were more than a short distance away; I've only encountered this a few times. Also, while many drivers are honest, any sign that you are not a local is liable to result in your being asked to pay several times the going rate. This is the free market at work.

If you are going to invoke market forces, you need to make sure there are sufficient incentives to not wind up with a worse problem than not having a taxi when you want it. What springs to mind would be taxing taxis in proportion to your congestion problems. I am not sure that would be an improvement.
> And yet we've no problem with home storage of gasoline for lawn mowers (and yes, we don't typically collect gasoline in gaseous form over heat sources).

I'd have a problem if someone was doing that in my building (and they'd be violating the terms of the lease if they were).

> Catastrophic fires are also an issue with deep-frying turkeys, and in fact with deep-frying anything.

Which is why chip-pans were the biggest cause of home fires when I was growing up, and nowadays no-one has them.

> 'Someone might maybe do something wrong' isn't really a good reason for there to be a federal ban

Sure, I don't think it should be illegal. But it's bad advice.
Here in Santa Cruz where meth and heroin are big issues, bikes are a sort of "currency". Most bikes when stolen are mostly parted out and the scrap metal sold or parts sold -- this is at the low to mid-range. For hire end bikes, they are often collected and shipped out of the city (and often times state/country).

While I do a lot to advocate for registering bikes here in town (a group of volunteers I am part of has registered about 300 bikes), the reality is registering doesn't dissuade anything. Here, it gives the cops a tool in case they do find one of the local tweakers with another persons bike.

Sure. But it's not illegal to distill alcohol for fuel--or any of the other various laboratory operations that are similarly dangerous.

If that reason had anything to do with the law, it would be a fire code thing.

No, the real reason is a coalition between moral purity (left over from the temperance movement) and revenue protection. Ever heard of "Baptists and bootleggers"? Same thing, except the bootleggers are the government.

Credit cards can cost more for merchants to process, sometimes they pass this cost onto the consumer with a credit card surcharge.

It's also easier to track your spending on a debit card as you can check the remaining balance at any ATM rather than waiting for the bill or going online.
Like the OP, I find myself often wondering how people met, how they clicked, how they keep it going. With you describing your wife as very introverted, fearing interaction with new people (I could describe myself the same way) and describing yourself as an extrovert, how did you two meet, click, make it work? I find that with me being like your wife in that regard, I've had an extremely difficult time even meeting someone, much less progressing into a relationship.
