Ask HN: Would You Cut the Cord?
Just cut the cord for Cable/Internet/Phone and am now solely on Internet at $55/month. So far, so good. Is there anyone else on YCombinator who has done this as well?
Signing doesn't imply you are "legit", at least not much - it requires ID verification but in the absence of any hard rules about what's acceptable that's only useful in the most egregious cases, and anyway you can still run unsigned binaries.

Signing is mostly useful to help reduce anti-virus false positives. AV systems learn binary reputations just like spam filters do. It doesn't matter if the app goes off and downloads another program for this purpose - that's an implementation detail that doesn't impact whether the app is malicious or not.
Pure storage hires Tim Riitters as CFO
I swear by getting out into the wilderness as a means of disconnecting and finding a sort of deep, long-lasting relaxation. My trips aren't extreme, but we hike long enough to be worn out at the end of the day, and deep enough into the forest to escape the sounds of civilization, and the reaches of cell service.

I've always loved backpacking, but the more connected I've become, the more important these trips have become to maintaining a sense of well being.
After reading this I did the same, one of the results was that I haven't been on Facebook as often. It's not as fun if you can't like things.
Is that correct? I was under the impression they only pitched to Yahoo and were turned down? Huh.
Well, sure, but even if your recommendation is to do it yourself with Python (rather than using a service) and regexes rather than BeautifulSoup, then the question becomes mechanize vs. scrapy vs. robobrowser, etc. etc.
There's a recent release by O'Reilly called "Choosing a Javascript Framework" (http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9781939902085.do) that you might want to look at.

It covers the same frameworks (Angular, Backbone, Ember) and also mentions Polymer and React.

What kind of results do you get for other popular archive formats like rar or tar-bzip2?
Before you get the cart before the horse. I would get a landing page built with some copy and 3-5 benefits for signing up and a "sign up" or "Free Trial" button or some kind of action and see if you can get interest. And then add a way to capture emails(leads). Once you have leads figure guess on a Customer Aquisition Cost. Probably something like cost 10x your lead cost. build it out from there. You can find someone on elance or search for design companies.
Having spent a bit of time in an anechoic chamber, I can say that true silence can be a powerful experience. There's a physical sensation of pressure being lifted, and intense feeling of focus (at least for me). I'd go well out of my way to hop in one again.
I'm surprised you haven't tried harder to optimise the download size ... the blog post says it ships a nearly full Python runtime, but surely you don't actually use it all? The core interpreter is I'd think quite small and Python code should compress very well.

6 Marketing Techniques That Will Make You Better at Selling
After I fail a challenge, the screen disappears too quickly for me to continue looking at the challenge and figure out the correct solution. Is there a way to enable feedback or solutions?
A lot of words have special legal meanings. That doesn't mean they don't hold other meanings outside of a legal setting. Since I never referred to anything legal, the legal definition does not apply.

I'm not downvoting your posts. Stop jumping to conclusions.
Sounds better to decide % upfront. So you both know, who owns what form the start. About sales, just set a commission per sale. Note that he's bringing into the startup the know-how about the problem you're solving. I bet you'll be consulting him as the "expert" in the matter. This is a valuable part of the equation.

I have never understood why Frank Herbert isn't enshrined as the 20th century's best science fiction author, since that's exactly what he was.

He always gets overshadowed by Asimov, Heinlein, and Clarke, who are undoubtedly all very good. But Herbert's works have depth and timelessness that few other writers in any genre can match. The Dune series is genius, the ConSentiency series(only two novels and a short story or two, sadly) nearly reaches Dune's level, and there are portions of The Dosadi Experiment that exceed anything in Dune.
I'm not sure why they did that, but I really wish I had multiple github accounts rather than one.

When integrating with external services (like a CI server) things will request read or write access to "public" or "private" repos. There's no distinction between my repos and my organisations repos. I might be happy allowing access to my personal ones, but I cannot just give access to my companies repos. Even if I wanted to for single repos, I can't justify allowing access to them all. The permissions model of github is far too coarse.

Indeed there are many fingerprints on a story even if it has only one name on the byline. Increasingly so in a world where there are "production" help from folks who are not strictly editorial (adding image assets or changing things for SEO purposes, for example).

> Pity the author can't just tell us what he would have called it.

Wired uses WordPress and WordPress creates a title slug on first draft save. It appears McMillan likely started with "The White House Dickerson" before it was sanitized, since that slug doesn't seem modified for keywording purposes (http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/sanitize_title)

That's certainly your choice, but I don't think you should expect developers to continue supporting that choice in new releases.
I'm actually using 'director' which works great, much simpler.
I love the concept, but every version of the song I looked for gave me this message "This song cannot be analyzed because it is not set as public..."
Good. Most DJs are just trying to surf on the popularity of people's music anyway. There's always Mixcloud, although that too has its quirks - for example, due to ;licensing reasons' it doesn't allow you to rewind, only move forward - kinda like the opposite of cable's on-demand free programming.
I imagine the other apps are responsible for their behavior. The browser gets special locking down because practically anyone can end up sending you anything.
> Saying Grunt is "very bad" is harsh and only serves to amplify hyperbole that causes much of the churn around JS tooling.

I'm speaking from personal experience and time lost trying to just get things to work so I can focus on building the application, not making a hobby out of building the frontend tooling. What I said may be harsh, but it's the truth. Have you tried gulp?

Learning HTML doesn't solve squat. The value of Markdown is that it's easy to edit with multiple tools and it's easy on the eyes whether you're looking at as plaintext or in a Markdown viewer.

There's no standards, but at this point I'd say Flux + React-router are quickly becoming it. react-router is made in the spirit of Ember's which is pretty well liked.

- Flux Architecture Pattern [0]

- React Router [1]

Note that there isn't really a prescribed model in Angular aside from $scope either.

Agreed with those complaints. However, as a workaround, I find a lot of the time you can just add the web hook manually for a service to a repo manually and things work just fine.
We are already using Trello to track our projects, but this process is going to make things even easier. This will work great for my small team of just a handful of developers, plus my own solo side projects. If you use something like this from a solo project you can easily bring on new dev or other people at any time with much less effort and will help keep multiple projects very organized.

> So, modulo bad implementation, you should be able to do basic unicode string handling in ISO C++.

The locale stuff has been intentionally left vague. So:

(1) assuming that your implementation supports passing a char16_t or char32_t to the functions in <locale>, you're guaranteed it will do the right thing as far as Unicode and the C++ standard (although, there are some well-known problems with what the C++ standard defines the "right thing" top be for lowercasing epsilon -- since in Greek, there are two lowercase forms of epsilon, and the C++ standard doesn't provide the function enough information to decide between those two forms -- and for uppercasing ẞ (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP S) -- because in German the uppercase form takes two letters, and the C++ standard assumes doesn't allow for that).

The fun part is that plain char's can be encoded in several different ways, and not all have anything to do with Unicode. So you need to have a Unicode-aware locale for the functions in <locale> to do anything sensible with Unicode. Of course, that's something of a tautology, but I'm not sure what the standard requires for locales. So, yes, if your implementation is Unicode aware, you can call a standard C++ function to get what you want, but be sure to call the right one. There's another, with the same name, that isn't guaranteed to do what you want.

My opinion about cops being horrible to rape and DV survivors comes from my work in the communities.

I live in Washington DC and would never in a million years ask a metro cop for help. Nor do I typically see people doing so. The only thing I see metro cops doing are "randomly" searching black people or punk-looking kids' bags.
If you think in terms of the operations that perform the tree transformations, of course you will have difficulty because, you're using a different tree: the syntax tree representing the code of those transformations! Not the syntax tree of the source and destination structure. So you are "one removed" from the real problem. Moreover, since both domains are trees, it's confusing.

It sounds like you could have benefited from a way to express pattern matching using JSON syntax, for destructuring a JSON object, and to represent the synthesis of new JSON using a "JSON quasiquote".

E.g. Lisp transformation with classic destructuring-bind and backquote:

(destructuring-bind (a (b (c &rest d) e) f (g h)) some-obj
`((,a ,b) ,c (,@d 1 2 3 ,e) (,f ,g, h)))

There are pattern matching libraries nowadays that do a lot more than destructuring-bind, but it illustrates the basic point.

The destructuring-bind macro writes the code to pull apart some-obj according to the tree picture with embedded variables. The backquote syntax generates the code whose evaluation synthesizes the new tree object according to a template, with the values of expressions indicated by , and ,@ substituted and spliced into the template.

Also my immediate question. I am willing to pay for a service like this to continue (I love traveling and have been looking for a good app to function as a journal). My first thought was basically, "A travel journal is really important to me now and will increasingly become more important to me. How can I guarantee this work/time/life invested will continue for 40 years?"

Yeah, I think I disagree with the author. Unless someone can think of a reason it should be like this, I think it's Apples' fault. If there's a reason to allow no-confirmation telephone or facetime initiation, they should make it an option on WebView.
What Babysitting Taught Me About Business
And extensions to let us specify failure-case or other behavior of those extensions, and so on. But at that point, we're already heading down the road of implementing a tiny DSL for "the program that posix_spawn() should run after creating the new process but before exec()ing the new executable". Why not simply write that code in the host language? You could specify a thunk of code to be sent to the new process and executed there. Oh, you'll also need to pass any data structures that code relies on--- pass a closure, not just a thunk. And garbage-collected references to any system objects that those data structures rely on. Congratulations, now you have fork()! If you squint a little, that's exactly what fork() provides you --- a closure and continuation.
Seems infinitely more reasonable to have the default be a prompt, and to have to explicitly enable "auto calling". People making a contacts app for example would immediately notice the prompt and rectify it. Meanwhile everyone else can remain blissfully ignorant of the tel: scheme.

On the other hand, with this system, every single app that ever uses a web view has to somehow magically divine that this could be an issue. The UIWebView docs certainly don't warn you about this. So what, is the expected behavior is that if you ever use a WebView in your app you should read every RFC on the planet in case there's some weird edge case like this? Maybe instead of creating systems that require careful developers we could try creating systems that work well by default and need you to explicitly turn on dangerous features like this.
The "unityped" descriptor is not meant to be pejorative. It's an observation that, from a type-theoretic point of view every expression in an untyped language can be given the same type. In a dynamically checked language, the type is the sum of all possible dynamic types (in Lua, for example: [1]). In an unchecked language, the type can be something else (in BCPL, for example, it's simply word; in the untyped lambda calculus, it's function). It's important to note that, according to type theory, types are a syntactic feature, not a semantic one.

It's just an observation rather than a judgment, and -- again from a type-theoretic perspective -- it's true. It's nothing to be offended about!

Note that if you were to write a type checker for a unityped language, then every program would trivially type check. So, while technically accurate, the notion of a language being "unityped" is not very useful. It's more of an intellectual curiosity than anything.

If you don't mind sharing, have you done any research on data layers for React? From what I can see, there seems to be three major schools of thought: the Flux architecture, using Backbone's models, or just writing something custom.
Actually, it could move a lot.

For example, consider what happens when averaging (0,1) and (0,-1) in cartesian coordinates vs polar coordinates. In cartesian coordinates you get the midpoint at (0,0), but in polar coordinates both have the same length... so you just get a point a (1+1)/2 distance along (0°+180°)/2. That's either (1,0) or (-1,0) depending on the handedness of the coordinate system, off to the side instead of in between!

The same effect happens in RGB vs HSV.
How can we end hunger with technology?
I gathered so much about his journey throughout the book, but the problem with this approach, to me, is that he doesn't really grow as a character. Paul gains new abilities, but his tone is the same at the beginning as it is at the end. No character really grows, it seems, except Feyd Rautha, which is kind of silly.

> Also, the emphasis on politics, and the crossover between feudal and SF tropes.

I wish there was more of an emphasis on this. The whole story is painted against a great backdrop of this struggle between the different houses, and the emperor. This is repeatedly mentioned and some story points rely on it, yet, there is no explanation as to how it came to be and how the system actually works.

I also cannot help but see plot holes. For example, why does the emperor not take complete control of the spice production? Has nobody in the universe except for Paul figured out that whoever controls the spice, controls everything? That they can hold it hostage? Given, that everyone relies on the spice, why hasn't anyone but the Fremen figured out where it comes from? It seems that the spice has been a huge part of literally everything that the noble houses, the spacing guild, the Bene Gesserit, etc. do. Yet nobody bothered to look beyond the spice fields and actually figure out all the stuff that it turns out the Fremen already knew.
This looks terrific! I was looking for something exactly like this not too long ago. At that time my parents were about to embark on a round-the-world journey, and it was so difficult to find a simple travel blogging app or service for my mom. In the end I set her up with an account on Medium, but even Medium's carefully designed UX was still too awkward, and she never felt completely comfortable with it.

Note to UX designers: if you want to subject your designs to some serious blast testing, make sure to recruit a few 60 to 80 year olds for your user studies!

You should put the ads up on the screen, in a non-intrusive fashion. Having the ad play in front is everything that is ass about radio. There are few things more disruptive than listening and expecting to hear some good music of ____ genre only to have some muzak come up instead followed by a pitch for auto insurance or something that is usually utterly irrelevant to the listener. It has made Youtube playlists almost unlistenable, for example.

If you must have ads then you should have content restrictions like google did with Adwords. Allow no music, no sound effects, no time effects, just a vocal sales pitch with ordinary dynamic range and -12dB peak loudness. The extremely limited options for Adwords presentation are what makes them bearable, in contrast to the hideous animated mess of typical internet banner ads.

This is a one-time opportunity to establish standards that will support rather than undermine your brand. If you let advertisers have free reaign over what to do with their slots then you'll get disrupted in turn. I already hesitate to embed Soundcloud clips because the embeds don't have any volume control and the play/volume controls on the site have been moved to the opposite end of the screen from everything else, a depressing example of a user-hostile 'dark pattern'.
