What is your plan for achieving market parity here? I imagine finding NHL players to signup will be difficult, if not impossible. Every one of them has an agent, who likely has no interest in this service because he already knows every GM in the NHL. And I doubt any of the players themselves will signup, since they're busy, well... playing hockey.

So maybe your target is players in junior leagues or overseas? But then, how do you get the NHL scouts/GMs to join? They are interested in NHL talent, not desperate junior league players with no agent.

It's a chicken/egg problem, and I'm not sure how you're going to get either one...
No, by the same logic that's like trying to ban a DVD player that is only capable of playing illegal material.

Popcorn Time only sources torrents from illegal sources i.e. does not have significant non-infringing utility.

That's where the distinction comes in.

If it was similarly limited to only play legal material (or even indiscriminately play material from a source that contains both) this would never have been an issue.

I know 'MUH FREEDUMS' is pretty big around here but the fact is that this was rather blatantly illegal and takedown should be expected. Their website explicitly and exclusively shows content that they do not own: http://www.time4popcorn.eu/
Heh, recently I seem to be unable to say anything on HN that isn't received with extreme skepticism and controversy ;)

First off, I was talking about Germany when I said the reasons for not having AC in private households is that "it's just not done", when it is in fact common to have this in offices.

Maybe it's subjective, but in the tropics the temperature stays pretty stable, there are frequent rain showers (about once a day), and of course the general proximity of the ocean also helps making the Philippines subjectively OK in my opinion.

A heat wave in Germany will typically not see any rain, the sun just burns down mercilessly, and the air does not move. Again, these are subjective reasons, and there is nothing wrong in principle with you denying the validity of my claim, but personally I don't want to live here without air conditioning.
I like pv, but I thought that it didn't work with "cp -r" (let alone mv)… Am I wrong?

It would be nice for cp and mv to just have built-in progress bars (only active in interactive mode, etc).
Also worth reading the follow up - OCaml: What You Gain [1] and the overall retrospective [2]. If you search HN for the titles you can find discussions about those. The author will be also be speaking at OCaml 2014 this year [3].

I see now. I completely misunderstood his comment.
dd has progress built in, under Linux it is kill -USR1 <pid> to get a progress report, the signal varies by OS. cp has a -v option, if tahts not enough rsync has a --progress option too that gives within file progress.

I would recommend Chargebee (www.chargebee.com). They provide a layer on top of a dozen different backends, including Stripe, and handle all of the annoying subscription logic you don't want to write code for.

The advantage of Chargebee is that you are not dependent on one backend or merchant provider, and can always swap it out for another if you get booted or want to try something else.
Offer HN: We'll translate your iOS application to Japanese for free
Here's the offer:

My partner — a native Japanese speaker and actively working translator — and I want to translate a handful of iOS applications from English into Japanese for free.

Why?

Well, we're hoping to snag a few testimonials, smooth out any snags in the process (although my partner has translated multiple apps already), and also be able to say on our website, "These are some of the apps we've translated..."

Here's the catch:

* We're a two-person team, so we can't handle a lot of volume. (The exact amount will depend on the complexity of the apps that people send us.)

* There's no hard limits on the amount of words we'll translate, but we probably won't accept apps that have thousands upon thousands of words (like games with a lot of dialogue).

But for those who we do accept, the translation will be done with a lot of care (which is important, since Japanese is a highly contextual language) and, since Japan has one of the fastest growing App Stores, we're hoping you'll also see an uptick in sales.

To take us up on this offer, send an email to hello@davidturnbull.com. We'll get back to you within 24 hours if you're selected.

Regards,

David Turnbull, iostranslate.com
For me XDomain is an essential tool to get CORS working in IE, for example when building a SPA with the API on a different domain. Very easy to implement and works transparently without needing to change anything else.
I don't read it like that at all. It was about the liberty of a people to govern themselves. I don't think Franklin saw the people and their representative government as being separable the way your interpretation separates them.

I certainly don't think he was talking about the liberty of the people from government, nor was he talking about the liberty of the government to govern the people. He was talking about the liberty of the people to govern themselves.

There are times when the wheel at hand is an ill fit or perhaps there genuinely is a better way to do things Ex: Libressl. And so the wheel needs reinvention.

Reinvention of the wheel, reimplementation of a paradigm or some other repetition in a slightly different or totally different way isn't necessarily a bad thing as long as the underlying concepts are well understood and it is executed with competence. I still believe malicious tampering is unnecessary when carelessness - or tiredness - on the part of the developer will do just as well.
I agree with this. But only if you can pull it off. As in, you've worn that style before and can confidently rock it. There's nothing more unappealing than somebody wearing clothes that he clearly pulled from /r/mensfashion without having the slightest clue of self-awareness.

In short -- just dress in something that makes you look professional and attractive.
`cv` is a coreutils viewer, rsync is not included in coreutils.
It's great to see this here. I meant to try out patoline over a year ago but it wasn't quite ready. This prompts me to take another look. I do remember the devs being very approachable and helpful (which is big plus for me).

I'd encourage the devs to put this in OPAM proper though. Having to add a remote seems like unnecessary friction. Having said that, it's not clear from the site what the current release is.
And if you don't…

"Beginning July 21, the magazine’s new and archived articles will be free to everyone, a move it hopes will attract more readers. […] The three months during which articles will be free, a promotion that will most likely be sponsored by a large corporation, will provide the magazine with data it plans to use in deciding how to position and price its “metered paywall” — allowing a certain number, or certain kinds, of free articles, but then charging its most avid readers through a subscription plan."

Its not only the lack of AC in houses here in Germany. Public Transport is even worse. In my town only the last delivery of new buses had AC fitted to them (and I think not even all of them). But you cannot really open the windows either, so you are stuck in afternoon traffic in a bus full of sweaty people with no ventilation at all.
Sorry, you are right, I missed that.

Arguably your solution is still different because you sort the input instead of the output, but that's unlikely to matter here.

Hm. The rendered patobook.pdf documentation wouldn't display in the browser; after downloading and opening it in Acrobat Reader, it said some embedded font couldn't be loaded completely, I guess all monospace formatted text was lost: see screenshot at http://i.imgur.com/MhkPqRR.png

I2P still preserves anonimity with its connections, the same cannot be said about using Tor in this client-relay fashion.

I would still recommend I2P for a project like this, anonimity is the key goal here.
Nope, it's pretty fun. But like everything else, you should put a little thought in how you handle things. Kids (even the new born ones) are not so irrational as you may think. They just have different motivations. Once you're able to put in their shoes and understand why they do something, it's easy to communicate and collaborate with them.
There are always articles popping up about people being so poor that the only way to escape was to join the military, or recruiters bribing people with college degrees.

cv is not included in coreutils either, so I still have to install something.
Using /proc is pretty damn clever! I thought it would be some sort of wrapper for strace, but your solution is so much simpler.
Have sent you a note :)
pv is by no means a standard include. Also the obvious advantage here is being able to monitor progress for processes you didn't pipe to pv initially (e.g., forgot or didn't think it would be a long transfer).

I'm frankly puzzled by this as well.

1. Why is it a mandatory requirement?

2. How can it possibly be uniformly implemented.

E.g.: curl <some source> | perl -e <some filter> > file

How the hell is _any_ OS going to track origin of 'file'?

What _is_ origin of 'file'?

Add an arbitrary number of netcat-over-UDP transfers between start and end of process.

Ownership/origin metadata is impossible to track unless it's overlayed on every single bit of of information transiting every process and every network node.

djb simply does a massive hand-wave over this, as far as I can tell. I respect the man a lot, but this totally loses me.

pv is just cat with a progress bar, so it only handles the case where you are copying a single big file.
Interesting, it'd be nice if it was available on homebrew and not just macports though.
I've lived in Seattle for 35 years. An awful lot depends on how the house was built. I used to live in a house that was poorly designed, and it would heat up like a greenhouse. The house was so uncomfortable when I finally moved and had one built, I spent a lot of time with the design so that it passively cools itself. It'll stay at least 10 degrees cooler than outside with no power applied.

It really isn't that hard, but it's clear to me looking at typical houses around here that nobody even thinks about it when building.
Just guessing, but maybe future drone models (esp. low altitude ones) will use machine guns?
Listing the most immediate network connection as the source helps reduce a lot of questions to "do you trust this url?".

sniper: Oops! too late. target lost. he hid behind that bikeshed.

(sigh) Where is PHK when we need him?
Because we feel like we can offer better service by specialising, since we can test the apps ourselves, etc. We want to give every app a considerable amount of attention so the final result isn't just a translation that "makes sense," but that will be truly appreciated by users in Japan.

Besides ease of international transactions, consider that only 41% of adults in developing nations have bank accounts and only 7% of adults in developing nations have credit cards. With Bitcoin and perhaps technology built around it, they can now have access to banking-like features, but without the credit profile which they probably lack, and importantly they can join the digital age and conduct transactions online without the need for credit cards.

That's a fair point; though I am not sure what limits you from testing on other platforms. Even if you don't have real hardware for them, most of them have cross-platform emulators.
Or perhaps like dogs peeing on lampposts - just leaving their mark. Most of these people are incapable of comprehending the internals of SSL or contributing to it, so they comment on trivialities (which they do not understand either). Dragging things down to their own level is another way of putting it.
A South African gentleman once told me that New York in August was hotter than any place he knew in Africa

That's surprising, since it sometimes seems that the only bearable place in the South African summer is Johannesburg, because of its altitude. Even in other cities, I've never heard of people sleeping on balconies or anything, despite aircons being a bit of a luxury item still, in residences.

I wonder if the annual temperature swings in climates like New York's make the heat seem worse than it is.

> The new typesetting algorithms of Patoline places your figures at an optimal position decided by the author, not by the system. It can optimize your document in several ways, including reducing its size to fit the standards of a conference paper.

I guess this means you could use this to force a résumé to fit on one page!
on top of what akg_67 said (Worry about the things that you can control and ignore the things that you can't control.) I need to add that your story seems to implicate you do not have a way to measure the efforts put into your code, quality assurance is one you can use and it's quite well known.

In the teams I've been part of and managed, egos always tend to come into play when writing code: I got better ideas, I got better line indenting, blah blah... been there, done that.

I think it's mostly important to focus on the outcome: practically speaking the way I would tackle this is by introducing some level of QA, either by introducing TDD or else. You start by writing tests as use case scenarios, and then implement the code. Once this is done, if any of your colleagues wants to re-implement the code/module/whatever, let them do it, but the tests need to pass and the improvement should be measurable. Otherwise who f*ing cares?

Peace!

I'd recommend adding some more information on the index page.
When I arrived I tried to scroll down hoping to find out what this is about, but instead I had to go to the 'about' page myself.

Then I tried to read the 'about' page but the text is very small and the lines very long, so it's hard to scan for relevant information. The bullet points make a couple of claims about what Patoline excels at, but still no code examples can be seen that could give me a feel for how Patoline actually works.

I had to go to 'documentation' and click a small insignificant looking link to actually get to see an explanation of Patoline and some code examples... in a PDF file.

I understand that it's cool to write the tool's manual using the tool itself, but if I come to the website and want to evaluate quickly whether this is interesting and could replace LaTeX for me, I need a quick overview directly on the index page, together with some examples similar to the one on the wikipedia LaTeX page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX#Examples).

I live in CH now, and I noticed that most buildings have massively thick exterior walls which seem to insulate against the blazing sun during the day, so that at night things are tolerable.

In my office in Zurich, we break out the electric fans during a hot day, and people take off their button shirts and walk around in flimsy undershirts. Most large stores have A/C though.

I honestly don't miss A/C at all, I remember living in NYC during heat waves, and dreading the shock transition from extreme hot to cold that happened when you entered or exited a building.
I'm very glad people are doing this. The local maximum created by TeX (and its surroundings), while producing impressive output, has kept many people from developing any typesetting software. It was usually easier to learn how to trick TeX into doing what you wanted, or build yet another overlay on top of it.

A similar local maximum exists with Emacs (you might also call it a local energy minimum, as it requires less energy to hack Emacs into doing what you want than to write a whole new system). This has also held back editor development for years (if not decades), but recently we started seeing attempts at breaking out (LightTable is one example).

This is an interesting phenomenon: neither TeX nor Emacs are bad, in fact they are both impressive pieces of software. But we could do better now, and yet we usually don't even start, because it is such a daunting task, and it is easier to extend existing solutions.

Best of luck to authors and contributors to this project!
The part at the end especially, kind of makes me want to give up coffee. Seems too addicting, like it has too much control over us, and I don't like that.
Amazon snubs French free delivery ban with one-cent charge
Great points.

The income isn't the main goal - my day job keeps me comfortable, and to be rational I'd at least like to make a return above what I could get on a term deposit, but with interest rates being as low as they are that's not an especially lofty goal. Definitely not trying to build a replacement income.

With respect to risk, I'm ok with losing about 50-60% of that amount over 12 months, so long as by the end I've learned what I set out to. No specific industry in mind, but I'd like to deal with people whose needs I understand.

The main goal is to learn those sales and marketing skills in a hands on way. I'd like to be building something as well, but that's secondary. And I'd like to do that by selling something useful and/or enjoyable for people.

Physical products seem like a nice counterpoint to my day job which is a bunch of coding and abstract thinking, math and so on.

You have totally misunderstood what the parent comment was saying.
Interesting solution. I usually find this type of problem when doing templating in the client when updating things via Ajax. I either use the DOM to store the template or end up concatenating for smaller things.

Since to preserve these comments in minification requires conscious effort, I wonder if there's an alternative that could convert the comments to regular JS before minification. Obviously you can't just run it in Node as normal doing it this way.
The first problem I see, is using any build process which will remove all the comments. Therefore your string will become ''. I wonder how to avoid this.
