I use sourcegraph occasionally and mostly rely on Gihub search. I wish the search has all those advanced refinement options that grep & Sublime Text search has. Some examples would be to use regex, search a word within a scope of lines, search within search results etc. Additionally, it's very useful to be able to sort the search results by stars/forks. Sometimes I just want to see how popular projects have implemented a certain feature. A keyword based search isn't enough for that.

I guess these features are very expensive & slow to implement but it would be super useful if it can be achieved. Source code search is for geeks so it is probably fair to say that a truly advanced & complex interface won't turn away users.

You aren't supposed to realize it or do it. Google uses the human's work on solving the unknown word to either get street numbers from photos or digitize books.

However, the whole point of them having the humans do that work is /they do not know the correct answer/. Since they do not know the correct answer they cannot be basing the test of the CAPTCHA on it. From there it is not a big leap to surmise that you are only actually being tested on the word that actually looks distorted on purpose.

There are lots of open source editors coming of late.

[Haroopad](http://pad.haroopress.com/) is my favourite markdown editor of late. It is based on node-webkit and is also open source.

The main points I wish it could include is word completions similar to sublime and spelling corrections.
Either you just know because internet or you get it from trial and error.

It's probably written on recaptcha website or wikipedia article, but basically you get presented one word that machine can't read (the distorted letters) and something out of a book that google had digitized and uses you to ocr it. You also get a lot of address numbers for google street view.

Just input the distorted word and type anything for the other, and it will work. Of course the instructions won't tell you that or else people would act accordingly and google would lose this free labor source for the tedious work of proofreading digitized version of books.
How governments devise custom “implants” to bug smartphones
Earlier rumors were that the Moto 360 will use Qi charging. Qi still usually requires per-device charging positions and semi-precise placement to work, though. It's just a "just dump it in this general direction" technology, unfortunately.

it's a superb service, until you want a revocation, then they try to extort $25/revocation out of you (even if you've been a long term paying customer)

this may be OK if you have only issued one cert, but if you've issued a few hundred (which is the main point of StartSSL: pay once and issue many), then you are SOL unless you can afford to plonk down thousands of dollars.

I love these kind of articles because they literally could not exist a century ago. Outrage over a patch and its effects on a virtual community is a uniquely 21st century problem. For something similar, see this post[1] on a clan war in EVE Online, which reads almost identically to a real-life war report, except that it's, well, not real life.

Agree- in this case I'd be most interested in GPS, heart rate and no dependency on a phone (don't want to have to carry my phone on runs).

This is almost the opposite of what I want from a casual watch- for it to offload absolutely everything to my phone and essentially be a second screen and nothing more. Keep size to an absolute minimum.
Unfortunately they are so messed up, it isn't even funny.

Honestly, my experiences with CAcert were awful. Pressuring people into signing legal contracts that are just laughably unfair was just one part of it.

They may have been a likable organisation at the begininng (maybe with a penchant for over-the-top policy), but when they realized they wouldn't get into major browsers by default, they tried to get "serious", changing too much too fast and wrecking the whole thing. Without the big result they were hoping for.
In addition the obvious language barrier, different culture and law/regulations are the biggest difficulties I can think of.

I don't know about the failed cases, but a handful of big companies tried to expand to Korea and succeeded (e.g. AirBnB, Uber, League of Legends, Clash of Clans).
I still wonder how they managed to expand to Korea. Maybe someone like me reached out to them?

Anyway, I thought medium, smaller companies or even indie game developers may want to hire someone like me and hopefully grow together.
The one place I find that useful is for blog posts. I like having the ability to apply the blog's CSS to the markdown source before posting to make sure it looks right.

The price tag seems a bit steep but this is the sort of device I would like to have when riding my bicycle or running in the city. Something light, that has Google now so I can send a text to my friends without taking my phone out of my bag.

This said, I share a criticism with some in this thread: The watch is not exactly appealing to my eye.
This redesign is for the sake of redesign, or promotion, or nothing. I don't see much, if any, value to a real user. Just waste of time.
Sundar Pichai had one on his wrist for the keynote today - It looks better than the LG watch, but it's still large enough that my first reaction to seeing it was "wow that's a huge watch".

i'm definitely waiting until next-gen before i consider buying one.
It's sad that debian removed them. I think cacert needs more dedicated governance. If all the money we spent on ssl certificates could be pooled together to create non-profit organisation dedicated to public certificates, it would be awesome! And we could probably get opensource PKI infrastructure.

Pretty much what I was thinking. Here's what I almost sent as a response to the survey:
This is a brilliant idea. I would pay up to $50 a year for the pleasure of being able to get domain validated SSL certs that are trusted by the major browsers. I would assume that the validation would be via emailing webmaster@domain and making them either respond or click a link or something. That could all be automated couldn't it.

Also, make wildcard certificates for domains available for the same low price, because it shouldn't take any more work should it. If I control example.org, then I think it's obvious that I control www.example.org and slighly-biased.example.org.

But then you have the issue of, if Org A controls com.au, that doesn't mean they control mywebsite.com.au. I don't know how you would automate that issue.

The non-automated stuff, make people pay for it. Seriously.
Technology moved fast from 1940 to 1955; in that period were developed nuclear power and weapons, supersonic aircraft, guided ballistic missiles, digital computers, the magnetron ( and microwave ovens! ) and lots of other things outside my domain of knowledge.

Can you imagine trying to adapt to that?

You need to adopt the same survival mechanism today: focus on one aspect, retain an awareness of the other changes but don't go down every rabbit hole.

Maybe my comment was misleading - the important part is the property read, not the `console.log`. The following code might be an infinite loop in JavaScript:

obj.x += i;
}

var arr = [1];
var obj = Object.defineProperties({}, {

Anyone with serious visual impairments almost certainly already has a user stylesheet installed in their browser of choice.

I am a person with reasonably decent vision who is fatigued by high-contrast color schemes. I greatly appreciate grey-on-black and other such color schemes that make it so I'm not staring into a lightbulb for ten-to-twelve hours a day. (Yes, my monitor brightness is set to a reasonable level. Yes, black on white is still far more fatiguing than white on black.)

"All of them"

Hat tip to the commentors on: https://gist.github.com/dhh/1285068
The argument that Python is "second best in more things" seems like a poor one to me, because it doesn't account for the size of the gap between first and second in some cases.

For one anecdote - during my PhD studies, I knew Python very well, and spent a week or two working with and around SciPy's not-quite-complete stats libraries. Eventually I threw in the towel, used Python as a preprocessor to create CSV files and got it all done in R in a couple of hours of REPL time, with no prior exposure to R.

I'm sure there are thousands of counter examples in which Python stomps all over R for stats analysis, but for my particular use case and set of data, the difference between the best tool and the second best was astonishing.
Same reason 4chan reCaptcha is no longer used to digitize the other word. If they had their way the correct answer to all reCaptchas would eventually become "nigger nigger"[1].

Fun times.

[1] the idea was to always write the correct word and just enter "nigger" as the other word. This eventually led to reCaptcha disregarding 4chan answers from the pool of resolving weird words.
Mobile App Marketing Pitfalls Every Marketer Should Avoid
It's interesting that when you have a success in your hands, it's very hard to focus and find time for developing the core product. Moves had an awesome product design right from the launch, but it didn't evolve much from that.

It might have helped if Sampo (CEO) could have focused on the product design. Also, it seems that a lot of companies stumble with multi-platform strategy. I have experienced it myself too. On the otherhand, when you succeed executing it well, it can be huge (think WhatsApp).
I'd point out that your definition of slavery is just as applicable to any work were the person being employed needs to work to get the basics of survival (with corresponding parallels between changing jobs and changing countries, choosing not to eat and choosing not to work for income above the tax free limit, etc).

The only reason I point this out is because while there are plenty of rational arguments for different forms of tax (including whether or not income scales to labour and whether this means a tax on income (especially a tiered one) is actually comparable to a tax on labour) however comparing it to slavery is not productive as it re-frames the conversation to an area of extremes where quite reasonable tax systemss become either no slavery or everyone's a slave. Much like calling the other person either a libertarian if you believe "any type of free market is ok" or a communist if you believe "any taxation is ok" would not be productive.

If you're referring to the iWatch, then what fantastical, overwhelming innovation are you anticipating out of Apple that would make Android Wear irrelevant? Referring to it as a "wearable notification viewer" makes me think you've failed to take note of Wear's voice control features; also keep in mind that the Moto 360 is rumored to include a heart rate monitor.

Wear's UI seems solid and Google Now is a perfect fit for the wrist. I fail to see anything wrong with the platform other than the lack of an Apple logo.

There are two sides to this entire Black Money story.

First is the bitter reality of the parallel economy that runs in India, amounting to huge revenue losses to the governments each year. The black money, not only robs to country and its citizens of their revenues, but also can then be used into funding terror activities, because this amount may very well be transferred via Hawala Channels ( they won't wire black money to tax havens, would they ? ). This is the money that can be used by the government to increase the services, this is the money that was intended to be transferred to the citizens in the form of increased infrastructure and better services. Ultimately citizens end up paying hefty amount of money for really crappy services.

the author is right in suggesting that this stash, if it even existed in no longer lying in the swiss banks, and has been rerouted to other investment opportunities, and possibly rerouted to Indian markets itself, via different channels (like the controversial participatory notes, shell companies etc). Both the current and the previous government have provided enough room for managing the black money, and I'll be surprised if India is successful in extracting any significant amount of money (order of 10 Mil. $), or to extract only account closure reports for the Indians who held account in various swiss banks and banks at other tax havens like Liechtenstein.

The other side of story is that it has become an issue that attracts eye balls. The amount that is suggested to be at stake is huge enough to attract the attention of even the upper middle class. People are very much dissatisfied with the performances of subsequent governments, and that made the Black Money Issue something on which political campaigns can be built upon. This issue was advertised in such a way that would attract the attention of average person, who wouldn't go into the details of the issue, by using headlines like, "We won't have to pay any taxes for a decade", "Every citizen would be given X sum of money", "India's revenue deficit would be bridged" etc.

As the events and outcomes of this election suggests, it worked. The current government even managed to show the act of constituting the Special Investigation Team to look into this matter, as a voluntary act of being righteous, when in reality they were just following the Supreme Court's directive to do so within a week.

Curious days ahead.
Woo, this is probably the coolest project from Google in the last while. Is there anybody using a graph database here? What is your use case? Would you mind sharing?
My wife is the developer of a mod for a 20-year-old game [0], which she forked from another mod about a year ago.

The reason for the fork? The other mod made missiles follow slightly wider turning arcs, so they were harder to dodge by going around corners. It seems like a tiny difference, but high-level competitive players want their missiles exactly right because different missile tracking leads to different viable tactics. "That shot into that tunnel is a sure kill" turns into "that shot is unlikely to hit"; "I can dodge that" turns into "I have no option but to run". The primary developer of the other mod was not a high-level competitive player and did not see this as a problem. Merely suggesting the fix (which my wife originally coded as a patch to the other mod), with simulations, a mathematical proof of correctness, and uniformly positive feedback from many top-level pilots, was enough to touch off a flamewar that wasn't settled for weeks.

People can be fanatical about their video games.

[0] the game is Descent (1 and 2). Her mod can be found at https://github.com/CDarrow/DXX-Retro . The other mod is at http://www.dxx-rebirth.com/ . Current competitive 1v1 play is at http://descentchampions.org/ and group play is at http://descentrangers.com .

Those interested in gaming communities turning toxic should look at Starbound's subreddit[0] and community forums[1]. The climate's been growing increasingly hostile over feature delays, players unsatisfied with the product, and variance in community management strategies employed by its developers.

There's a similar theme of broken promises there. However, Chucklefish has been updating pretty regularly and acting on a lot of constructive player feedback, so the overall negativity strikes me as somewhat confusing.

Another rather notorious and perhaps more justifiable example of community backlash can be found by looking at forums[2] for, and general controversy[3] surrounding, Infestation: Survivor Stories (formerly The War Z).

That would be a much more interesting set of graphs if the Fed would let you in on how they compute the index.

That is why looking at newspaper advertisements are actually pretty cool. They don't use, Detroit for example, when computing the cost of suburban housing.

Here is an example, I don't know if will work for you. Marysville Washington, a quiet little town, the paper has a 2004 edition online [1] and on page 21 of 26 are the rental listings. 2 Bedroom, 1.5 bath apartments are about $500. If you look at 'forrent'[2] a rental search service for Marysville, two bedroom 1.5 bath apartments today are closer to $1,000 a month. It may not be exactly 100% and its hard to pin it to an exact unit (would be interesting if you found the same unit in a newspaper and online) but not taking the Fed's word for it, and actually looking at papers that were published back then which is key in my opinion, shows a much higher increase in costs than the Fed reports as having occurred. That is why I wonder how they compute their indexes (but the last time I dug into it they claimed secrecy so that people wouldn't try to 'game' them.)

Not trying to argue, just getting a different result when I go to the primary sources.
