I've heard that song too many times,

I'll admit it.

It's not that I'm sick of it,

I just fear for its life.

The tunes get a little bit stronger

Every time they are sung,

Or a little more threadbare.

Slowly undone.

Awesome, that's what I hoped to hear. I'll definitely be trying it out then, anything over CSS :p
For anyone who's interested in this bit of history, the Stasi museum in Berlin is well worth a visit. I recommend taking the tour, the guides do a great job in helping to make sense of all the artifacts on display. http://www.stasi-museum.de/en/enindex.htm
true, that's why we went for a master-master setup with the db.

According to the comments it returned a modified immutable date. The original date is not modified.

Poor function naming perhaps, (should be `modified()`), but it's not really one of the things that makes PHP infamous.

I was under the impression that C's qsort is often beaten by languages with support for templates / generics? I'm pretty sure they were talking about qsort.
Thanks for explaining the basics of life to me. Thanks to you, I've learned that

a) A hypothetical story about a hypothetical great-grandfather apparently invalidates the value of family heirlooms

b) crafted items are valuable because of the information they hold, which inform us how people thought and what their approach to something was. Their purchasing patterns, however, tell us absolutely nothing about how they thought, what their approach was, or what types of things they valued.

c) Having family heirlooms which were foolishly bought back in the day is primitive thinking (and a sign of being poor). If your will isn't one hundred percent cash you are wasting everybody's time.

d) Sentimental value is bullshit, and market value is a straw man; heirlooms apparently have literally no value at all.

e) You have to make your "name" on your own, but if your name is hard for people to pronounce then you should just deal with it when they give you a different one.

Thanks for clearing all that up.
My substitution works without contradictions there too.
I'm seeing lots of themes that are also available at other theme stores, what safeguards are in place to stop people from selling themes that aren't theirs to sell?
> It's conventional wisdom that it's easier and faster to create app in native toolkit than in HTML/CSS.

Because native toolkit provide tools which let you actually lay out your screens.

> I refereed to my components argument

I found no such thing, hence my response.

> And there is a value in this.

I didn't claim there was no value to it.

> In my entire web dev career single biggest pain in the ass was more or less like "what CSS rule is breaking my div style".

Well we apparently have very different experiences of web development.

> Since ShadowDOM brings CSS fence between components as you probably know (do you?), ShadowDOM makes it way easier to create HTML/CSS ui simply because it's hard to make CSS rules breaking whole app view.

Again, I didn't claim there was no value to shadow dom, you're strawmanning here.

> it's just not that important at least for me

I'd kinda understood that at this point.

Yeah… no.
You know what I hate? My history isn't aggregated in real time across all my Mac OS X terminal windows.

I used to feel this way. Then one day I figured out how to enable this in Bash. Resulted in a confusing mess. Turns out you most likely want terminal sessions to be distinct until you end them.
public parking spaces on city-owned land are part of the commons and are supplied as a public benefit by the city to the whole community. that is very much an example of things that should not be commoditized, or else we end up with yet another tragedy of the commons.

restaurant reservations are not a public benefit, and I think its fine to commoditize them IF AND ONLY IF it can be done in a way that is fair to the restaurants and the customers. we shouldn't tolerate a service that is based on lying to restaurants.
thank you! The whole point of the article was to offer a mashup of easy to follow steps to achieve replication over azure availability sets. I'm glad that you find it useful.
I think the problem was that it wasn't obvious that the app exists now. "Coming Q3 2014" suggests it doesn't yet. If it does and can be tried, then sure—either a link to the store or to your website is fine.

We inevitably get some of these calls wrong and are glad to fix mistakes.
And for the record, I didn't see your comment as "short". You explained some good context, and I just thought I'd explain my word choice in turn, especially since I could joke about it.

interface{} doesn't give you generics. The point of generics is to give you two distinct things:

1. You can write code that performs identical logic for a range of different data types, without having to know what they are.

2. That code can be checked for type safety.

interface{} gives you half of 1. You can write code that performs common logic and takes an interface{}, but then that code has to manually switch on type, or convert type before running.

Which gives you trouble with 2. Once you don't have a distinct type, you can't check for safety. All the compiler can do is check that an interface{} is passed in; which is a pretty weak guarantee. Meanwhile, in languages with generics, the you can write a generic method that uses the + operator and the compiler can check whether it works for numbers (OK), strings (OK), HTTP servers (uh oh, stop the bus!)...
well wait, I'm confused; my wife worked with a jeweller to design my ring, and I worked with a jeweller to design her engagement ring and matching wedding band. Did we just roll over from "foolish to spend money on rings" to "it's okay because we designed them"? Or does that not count because we didn't make the wax, cast the metal, and set the stones ourselves?

If we're going to engage with the conspiracy theory angle (which I do think has some merit) then it's not about one single, definitive plan of action. It's actually about achieving a goal: stopping Assange from exposing secrets that various powerful people don't want exposed.

If you're willing to accept that the powerful do have secrets they don't want exposed then you should also be willing to accept that they probably don't care exactly HOW he's neutralized, just that he is. And judging by that criteria having him effectively locked up in the embassy is pretty good.

Wikipedia is not a business, so that's irrelevant.

So it's not "if you're not paying for it; you're the product", it's "if you're not paying and the provider is a business, you're the product". And then we're just missing a truckload of exceptions, instead of two truckloads.

Hulu's just funny to me. You're paying to be a product. It means the business decision makers will respect you a little, but how much depends on how much of the revenue you're bringing in and what sort of industry it is.

People pay a lot to Comcast every month, does that mean they get plenty of respect?
If you're talking Dreamweaver, auto-generated inline styles, and image slicing, I think it's safe to say that you're signing up for pain irrespective of what the output is.

Still, finding a 2px misalignment would likely be a more masochistic exercise if you were wading through nested divs with no clear grid layout vs. nested tables.

But, I think your complaint is with the tool itself. Maybe that's why I sincerely know of no web devs who have implemented a serious project with Dreamweaver. My personal (brief) experience with it was that any support for real separation of concerns was so lacking that whether it generated tables vs. CSS was the least of my worries.
I recently read The File by Timothy Garton Ash, a British journalist who spent a fair amount of time in East Germany in the last decade of the DDR. After reunification he was able to obtain his Stasi file. He learned how the Stasi perceived him as a risk and began contacting those who snitched on him.

The stories of how some of the informants became informants are fascinating. One cooperated with the Stasi in order to obtain exit visas for official travel. Some were Ash's friends seeking to boost their careers, some were just pleased to do their part in furthering the cause of socialism.

Ash was never imprisoned or tortured and could leave whenever he pleased (though he was eventually barred from entering the DDR). He didn't really suffer at the hands of the Stasi but the book is a terrific look at the Stasi's surveillance and intimidation through the eyes of a single individual.

Because if you ever have a problem with wrap bootstrap you will get no response.

I paid for a theme on WB and never received it. Emails to support and phone calls to the registered number for the domain went unanswered.

I had to email the theme's author and he sent me a copy.
Had he not responded then WB would have effectively taken my money without providing me service, with my only recourse being a chargeback.

The site is vulnerable to xss
Its definitely framework we need, to get more performance out of web pages, especially with mobile in mind.

It has some really good ideas in terms of architecture and good modularized code. (I would prefer cjs over amd)

On the other side it is very young:

1. There are some serious issues to be fixed, f.e. https://github.com/Famous/famous/issues/111 or https://github.com/Famous/famous/issues/74

2. There are no open sourced tests, I even assume there no tests at all at the moment.

3. They open sourced code but the development itself is closed. Its a black box.

I really hope famo.us will change this stuff and will focus more on the core framework and being real opensource product.
We always do a quick search and cross reference the email, author name, and theme info to make sure everything matches up. It's usually pretty easy to sniff out when someone uploads a theme that isn't theirs.
I wonder what would've happened if Tesla both had the ability to remotely shut the car down AND then shut it down in compliance with the police involved. Less people would be hurt, a synagogue would not have those damages, a whole lot of people with less stress.

Precedent from 2009 with OnStar: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2009/10/onstar-gp...
container-fluid is no longer valid in Bootstrap 3.0. Also, in previous versions of Bootstrap it still included a small right and left margin around the container. It just doesn't apply a fixed width to the container. If you want your carousel, background, etc... to bleed right to the browser edge, you need to work outside the container class.
Yes, until a few days ago, I didn't know that it supports OS X as well, so, I installed it, but didn't have time to look deeper into it. Thanks for reminding me, I'm definitely gonna look into it!
You're missing the entire point of buying a bootstrap theme.

>SaSS and Foundations' media responsive layout enable me to create new themes easily and painlessly

Yes, anybody can do that with Bootstrap as well. People who buy themes don't even want to waste that time on customising it. I already have 2 clients who bought a theme on WrapBootstrap because they wanted to have a UI-in-a-box for an internal tool.
Great work. First looked at it on desktop and was pleasantly surprised with how well it worked on mobile. Any advice or tools you'd recommend to create something similar?
Interestingly, Swift (as of now) can be orders of magnitude slower than C/Objective-C: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24101718/swift-performanc...

I hope/expect the out-of-box performance will improve over time, but I guess it shouldn't be taken as fact that Swift will always be faster than its predecessor.

The reason for the mostly negative news about the Stasi might be that the Stasi didn't do any good?
Not sure why that is Tesla-specific, since most cars don't have this functionality anyway. The only reason why this article was even written is because it involved a Tesla, and readers love hearings stories about accidents involving Teslas.
I posted this here a while back and since its show hn day, thought I would give an update.

How To Get The Right Investor To Fund Your Startup
i wonder if its safe to shut down or slow down a vehicle remotely because speed & approach judgements are best left to drivers of the vehicle unless of-course its remotely driven.
Nice reinforcement of "performance tricks" almost always equaling "get the computer to avoid doing extra unneeded work that it used to be programmed to do".
Dyson does this too - specifically, they claim Dyson products don't have blades. I have a Dyson hot, the base contains a bladed fan.

Why was this even posted to HN?
Objective-C isn't slow. It's a strict superset of C, so anything that C can do fast, Objective-C can do just as fast. If you say Objective-C is slow, you are also saying C is slow.

Objective-C provides a message passing mechanism that trades speed for convenience. It turns out that programmers often choose convenience over speed because of time pressure.
I had no idea about this, I had mostly assumed that a decent compiler would do this. There is no reason this can't be implemented in the future, right?
Wow, the driver (thief) appears to have survived (even if in critical condition at the hospital)?

Not sure if that's an endorsement of the Tesla's safety, quality of EMS in LA, or billions of years of evolution, but I wouldn't expect someone to survive an accident like that.
Real criminal genius - steals a car that is constantly connected to the mothership and can't be chopped up for parts (hardly think there could be a market for that).
Yea.... No.....

That is one of the reason I will not own a Car with OnStar, nor would I own a Telsa is they start doing that

Sure in this instance it may have saves lives but giving the government that kind of power is .... scary....

No, just no.....

Apple hires sales director of TAG Heuer for anticipated 'iWatch' launch
The idea of these hosted deployment systems always scares me. Essentially you have no choice but to open SSH to the universe. This is far beyond best practices for at least a couple reason. The first would be that if at all possible you should be hiding SSH behind a VPN so that casual or not so casual attempts at breaking in to the server are made that much more difficult (this makes even people somehow getting a stolen private key a non-issue). The second would be that giving an 'unknown' third-party this kind of access to your systems leaves you open to them being exploited and then exploiting you (and this scenario seems much more likely than someone guessing your password if you are using one on SSH for some reason).

All in all, deployment seems like something to me which I'd always want to keep in-house.
I've seen plenty of pictures on the internet of supercars sliced in half and burned after crashes at that kind of speed. For example the Paul Walker crash. From the picture of the Honda I assume the Tesla broadsides the Honda whiched caused it to spin, slide, and strike the pole.

It would be great for Tesla if first person to die in a Model S was a car thief.

If anything this could be an involuntary ad for Tesla's safety, since the driver survived.

I'm sorry to spoil your alliteration, but in addition to this not being secrets, it isn't speed either (yet), as the second paragraph makes clear. So (as the HN guidelines ask) we changed the title to a phrase from the article that seems more accurate and neutral.
Re Stories focusing on the positive aspects

It reminds me of this article/discussion: "Fighting in front of your children - not such a bad thing?". The positive aspect is giving the whole picture of the drama, showing that things, sometimes, can be solved in a peaceful/negotiated way.

this is pretty cool -- it actually works if a few people send proper morse.
Thanks for the heads up, will fix. Edit: wait, is it? I'm not seeing it..
I agree that callback hell sucks, and promises are a vast improvement, but still shitty. Coroutines and channels are not obviously 'just what's needed' in my opinion however.

I think they're part of a larger picture. Mature languages should have multiple concurrency models available for different tasks. Clojure, for instance, supports coroutines, threads, and multiple other flavors of concurrent programming.

There is no silver bullet, polyglot concurrency is the future most likely.
Personally, I'm okay with a few hacker memes on Hacker News.
> I rarely even encounter people describing layouts in the way GSS appears to want me to code them.

I don't think that's the case… think of how when you're dragging elements around in Keynote or Powerpoint, how you get guidelines that snap in relationships between elements.

This is centered in that, these things have the same width, the space between these two things is 10, the left edges of these things align.

Those relationships are what's expressed. When someone is designing a layout, those are the terms they're going to be thinking in.
The behaviour is not completely dissimilar. The only difference between the two methods is what is done with the result. In fact, every method in that class parallels one from the other class in exactly that way, and that behaviour is described clearly on the documentation page for the class:

> Also, since you can't type-pun (alias) in Swift, you can't do some things that can be done using plain C, so it is unclear how it can be faster.

Type-punning is never necessary in C; it can always be replaced with one or more calls to memcpy( ), which the compiler can elide (clang, at least, is quite good at this optimization). I don't see any reason why this approach wouldn't work with Swift.
More importantly, I wonder how much that outage cost everyone.

I've seen many computer users simply "give up using the Internet" when Google is down, returning after a coffee break to resume.

It wouldn't surprise me if Wikipedia, at least, had a measurable traffic drop during the outage. I think they even have public MRTG logs, so someone more enterprising than me could confirm that... :-)
Why was there a high speed chase, anyways? Don't most police departments have rules that high speed chases should only proceed when lives are endangered?

It's been done before too! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Bourbaki

---

Nicolas Bourbaki is the collective pseudonym under which a group of (mainly French) 20th-century mathematicians wrote a series of books presenting an exposition of modern advanced mathematics, beginning in 1935. With the goal of founding all of mathematics on set theory, the group strove for rigour and generality. Their work led to the discovery of several concepts and terminologies still discussed.
Fair enough - I thought you were claiming the cliché was generally incorrect, not that there are a few exceptions which break it. Obviously I can't argue with that. It's intended as a rule of thumb and applies to the vast majority of the internet. Especially if you count a donation-driven site like shareware software - an encouraged, but optional, request for payment.
I personally feel the same way, especially the bit about always emerging a new person each time, and also do not have a smartphone for this reason.

When I'm alone, actually, what I want is to document my experiences-- not necessarily for anyone to see later, just to keep some kind of record. This is usually this is not in the form of pictures I can take of my external surroundings, but of ideas or feelings I have in my head.
