It would also be nice if they tested builds with infrequently used options. I've tried building with documented options, e.g. no-comp (disables compression) and it completely failed. Presumably because the CPP generated something that no longer built using that option.
bipio (https://bip.io) kind of does it, its an ephemeral web hook engine which can obfuscate content sources, with auth/ssl and temporary lifespan etc. I could help you out with it if you want to give it a try/experiment. email in my profile.

I built a treadmill desk a few years ago and I love it. It's tough to get myself out of my chair to use it, but once I get started I like it.

It's definitely not an all day solution though. I usually start feeling tired after about 45 minutes. I start sweating at about 1 hour. After 1.5 hours, I need a break. So I go back the my sit down desk.

The basic idea is to avoid staying in one place for a long time. Treadmill for an hour or so, then site for a while. Repeat.

SEEKING WORK: Remote (Based in Maryland)

I'm a former software developer turned freelance writer. You need user documentation or internal technical documentation, but your developers are too busy making money for your company. I can create and maintain your documentation for you with minimal handholding.

I used to do development in C and C++, but I have reading level understanding of most major languages.

I can work either one-off or ongoing. In addition to user documentation, I also do B2B whitepapers and sales copy.

Sorry you felt that way — definitely was not my intention to be off-putting. It just seemed like a natural way to partition the various stages of the story, especially given that the group was started 9 months ago.

Wolfe might not even need to show that Tinder/IAC knew if she can show that Mateen invoked his supervisory authority to demote Wolfe from co-founder status. In such cases, where the harasser uses official authority to effect a tangible employment action, the company is vicariously liable for the conduct of the harasser, without any further showing by the plaintiff.

If she can't show a tangible employment action, the company can avoid liability by showing that it acted reasonably to prevent or correct the harassment, or that she acted unreasonably by e.g. not complaining to someone higher up. Showing lack of knowledge would be a good start, but they could also show they tried to take corrective measures when they found out. Of course if the text messages are true, some of those angles might be foreclosed...

Most people don't care the exact speed of the CPU for a server, as long as it's stable and doesn't lockup with little load, especially when purchasing a Micro instance. If CPU utilization is high then it's time to upgrade to another CPU or start another instance if possible.

It would be better to do real speed tests of each service to determine average "CPU" speed. I'm sure both services are constantly optimizing for both shared hardware usage and speed, so the stats would have to be updated regularly.
Scribd (YC '06), San Francisco - VISA, FULL-TIME, and INTERN are all welcome

Scribd ("Netflix for eBooks", top 100 website, 50 people) is hiring talented hackers of all kinds to help us build the library of the 21st century.

We've hired EIGHT full-time people and TONS of interns from these "Who is Hiring" threads ... it really works!

We're looking for people who want to work with:

* Ruby on Rails (we're the #2 largest rails site, after Twitter)

* Javascript (well, we use Coffeescript)

* iOS OR Android (we're a top 10 eBook app with more reviews than Wikipedia, with a tiny mobile team)

* Machine Learning / data mining / recommendations - think Netflix prize, but for books!

* Product manager and design (UI or UX) roles too

* Internships: junior standing or above for all areas of engineering. We hire several interns every summer and year-round.

That said, we care way more about your personality and general hacking skills then what languages you've used so far, so if you haven't used these but want to break into mobile or web development, this could be a good opportunity for you. We've hired people from these threads with everywhere from 0 to 10 years of experience.

We're profitable, very well funded and have a really fun office environment (go-karts + a rock climbing wall!). Scribd alumni have gone on to found 4 other YCombinator companies, more than from any other startup. We think this says something about the kind of people that we like to hire, and we love hiring people with entrepreneur and startup ambitions. We are also always looking for international people interested in moving to the US and can help you secure a visa.

You can read more about our "Netflix for Books" service here http://wrd.cm/1dJquzz or check out our tech blog at http://coding.scribd.com

Is this really first/only app to make efficient use of geo-data or..? Looks sleek/fine to me, but of course the uptake is going to be the defining factor with this stuff.. FB & co. could kill it in an instant by enabling a similar feature in already existing networks..
I hope they reported that to the police!
Do I get to be as brutal as Kevin giving design feedback on the new site? :)

The JS affix doesn't trigger off at the bottom so the sticky nav stays fixed http://i.imgur.com/YAqGVoL.png

Mixpanel's logo is forced display:none; on the homepage so it offsets the grid http://i.imgur.com/SV2dLq8.png

Overall this redesign is absolutely fantastic.

PS. Did the valuation required to get on the homepage go up a bit?
What does "dead" mean?
Type annotations are great but how exactly do they fit in? For example, in TypeScript the type annotations actually provide live feedback as you're typing the code. The TypeScript compiler, tsc, will also flag instances where the types don't make sense or it can't infer the type for a function argument which is valuable for the programmer because it means there is some kind of gap in how the data flows from one function to the next. If the type annotations are just going to be for documentation purposes then there is almost no value in making it available. If on the other hand they will be more closely tied with the interpreter during source-to-bytecode compile time to provide feedback then that will be much more valuable but that's actually a lot of work.

It's probably also helpful to look at Typed Racket for how they address the type annotation problem.
How about a mobile friendly version of HN? :)

Yeah I agree. The FAQ page is a huge win. All of the content is super useful and I only ever found it before from pecking around.
Minor nitpick. I didn't like the alignment of the YC logos on the top and bottom. They look a little misaligned. Maybe something like this is better ?: http://i.imgur.com/J1mzwJk.png (Removed all content except top and bottom)
The "partners" page doesn't mention the founders of YC or differentiate them from the other partners. Obviously there was a reason for this. Can you elaborate?

In addition to what's said below, if the prosecutors are being driven by federal/national-level concerns, then the goal is probably less about punishing a bank's officers, and more about getting more information on hostile nation states, and possibly financially neutering them. That's powerful, and far further up the chain of national interests.

Apart from that, my sincere apologies for arguing even slightly against against jail time for the banksters.
The corrected version is more recognizable to me as "round"; I believe this is a fairly common pattern in code that needs to round or align to powers of two.

However, I'll agree that it is perhaps overly clever. I recently wrote some code that used this pattern, except I had remembered it wrong and wrote something like:

padded_size := (size + 2047) & ~2048

(2048 instead of 2047.) Luckily it was caught in code review, but it's worth being a bit more explicit; our solution (aside from fixing the number) was to add ASSERT(padded_size % 2048 == 0) so that it was clear what the code was trying to do.
drcode this is exactly the kind of use case that we envisioned in the beginning when we came up with the idea for paid feedback. You submit the request and the designer writes you back some notes or sends you some mockups of how you could improve your current design.

If you're interested in a color wheel for a picker design that has perceptual evenness, check the Munsell CS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munsell_color_system) ... in a color picker it might be cool to select via projections of CIELAB as the refined version of same.

You might want to change your iteration times.

Try the following:

1. Define a set of tasks well enough that someone else could do them without asking many questions.

2. Then, execute a single task without changing it, even if you change your mind midway through.

A "task" is equivalent to an hour or two of work.

When it's all done, do this process again for new features/changes.

This is good for the following reasons:

1. Separate out the thinking/analysis phase and the coding phase. This forces you to think things through before implementing them.

2. Modifying something is usually easier once it's already done. Also, you'll likely make few or no redundant modifications.

3. It makes you more aware of the time cost activities have, since you're splitting them up into several hour chunks instead of hundreds of unorganized several minute actions. You can better manage and prioritize 1-5 tasks rather than "whatever comes up".

This is very similar to Scrum, but for an individual developer.
Prong the Case
Show HN: TheNews (iOS) – HN, DN and eventually PH now in one app.
I'm not sure about the etiquette of arXiv links, but I have always preferred being taken to the abstract, so that I can decide whether I want the paper: http://arxiv.org/abs/1106.3141. It's just a click from there to the PDF (or other formats, if there are any).
"dead" on HN is like locking and hiding a thread -- no more voting or commenting and the thread disappears.
From my perspective it's about 1/3 "hacker" news, 1/3 startup/tech news and 1/3 mainstream liberal politics.
When Your Penetration Test is an Alibi
Perhaps this is splitting hairs, but those charges are either the result of settlements from complaints brought by their customers, or are the fallout from the market crash and general marketwide mortgage mis-selling.

In other words, no-one needed to seek out hidden wrongdoing by these banks, their own customers were complaining about their behaviour, or there was conspicuous obvious malfeasance. (I'm not trying to downplay the banks' bad play and criminality in these events though). It would have been difficult not to act on these things (at least, I'd like to think so!)

The spate of huge fines against the non-US banks has been direct investigations that haven't been broadly obvious from the outside, i.e. someone had to go digging.
I am currently reading "The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World" by Iain McGilchrist. It provides a good overview of current insight into the roles of the separate hemispheres of the brain (way beyond the usual hippy stuff). One of the distinctions made is that the left hemisphere creates "abstraction" and the right hemisphere works by using "examples". A good course in (pure) mathematics will emphasize both: understand the theorem but also consider these examples that demonstrate the theorem. Now it strikes me that this article by Gowers paints a deeper picture of this left/right brain divide in mathematics, and the tension between them that McGilchrist describes in his book. How remarkable.
Not sure why you are getting downvoted. Without any more context by grandparent, the parent makes total sense.
yep, errors will we raised at runtime, so I think it's not possible out of the box to save and get an error.

However, most of our tests cover type checks and the documentation as well, so 2 less problem to handle.

Then someone could come up with a "tool" that will extend your ide to detect errors "live".

That's should be "just" the first step.

dingdingdang, it's not the first app to use geo-data and we agree the uptake is going to be super important (especially uptake in one geographical area). I do think FB and other companies at it's core care mostly about your social graph vs. we're more concerned about what strangers or friends around you are doing. Facebook has "nearby friends" for example but doesn't give you any info on people who have similar interests around you.
Um, no, that's a pretty clear cut example of extortion.

Whether they follow through with the threats or not is irrelevant. The act of extortion has already been committed.
