Show HN: LEWT – Lazy Enterprise for Hackers Without Time
To pick on just one point of this massive article: The quick actions on notifications are going to be very useful. I hope other OSs implement them too (I'm a WP user myself). They're unobtrusive, and they can make the entire phone feel more natural. They also enable new kinds of quick interaction: imagine an 'OK' button on a text message that lets the sender know you've seen it, without the need to send a message saying just that yourself.
>an attempt to force labeling on them and prevent their development //

Labelling only provides people with the ability to chose. Against choice? Consumers can make uninformed choices, sure, but that choice is central to a democratic system.

Who are the corporations that you're referring to? The majority of organic stuff we get in the UK is from small corporations or local farms, it is the bigger corps that stand to lose most from a desire from the public to have organic (and similar ethos) production of food. For example factory farming chicken relies on being able to pump them full of antibiotics.

You say it's a mistaken belief that organic food is better - the meta-studies I've seen seem to flip between the two positions pretty rapidly. Can you cite maybe one or two studies that you would say show incontrovertibly that organic production is no better for people, animal welfare and/or the environment? Thanks.

Maybe I'm just a corner case, but the "Spotlight, multitasking" section didn't address whether Apple has changed the refresh settings when multitasking between apps. Not a day goes by that I don't switch between open apps (say, Mail and Safari) only to watch the browser content disappear under my fingers while it decides to hit the network and refresh the screen with the same content. This is especially frustrating when out of network/wifi range which happens frequently in NYC.
I'm a lawyer and the developer behind a Canadian unbundled legal service site: flatlaw.ca. It can be a great way to get what you want if you know what you need.

If you're fairly knowledgeable about your legal needs then it can be a good way to reduce costs + get better counsel. For example, if you're an employment lawyer who doesn't know any trademark attorneys you can use the site to quickly find local lawyers who might be able to assist your client. Also useful for startups who know their needs (e.g. they need to incorporate and get an independent contractor agreement).

The problem isn't the AppleScript's wordiness, it's that knowing the exact way to phrase a command correctly is horrible (and it doesn't help AppleScript is implicitly strongly typed).

In HyperTalk you could write something like put 4 + 4, get it; or set fred to 4 + 4; or put 4 + 4 into fred. You could leave quotes off a string, or put quotes on a number, and it would usually "just work". This made HyperTalk easy for non-programmers to write, yet still easy for programmers to write well (and debug). AppleScript allows even more syntactic constructs than HyperTalk, but they all turn out to be semantically different in incompatible ways. (It's very much like they map directly onto C++'s . -> * and & directly.) So if you can set fred to 4 + 4, you probably can't put 4 + 4 into fred. (I'm pulling these examples out of my ass without looking up actual syntax because I can't be bothered.)

I went from being a competent HyperTalk programmer to "godlike" thanks to a book by Danny Goodman (The HyperTalk Bible, I think). When AppleScript came out, Apple commissioned Goodman to write the definitive book on AppleScript -- I read it and still couldn't get anywhere. AppleScript is kind of like Blender. I can eventually figure out how to do anything, but knowledge of how I did it evaporates almost instantly. It's perhaps the worst programming language I have ever actually tried to master.

Danny Goodman later wrote books on JavaScript and DHTML which, for their time, were just as great as his HyperTalk stuff, but no-one has ever been able to make AppleScript not suck (for me, anyway).
This iPhone 6 Feature Will Change Weather Forecasting
iPhone 6 versus Samsung Galaxy S5: Which is better for you?
I never played with React, I like the idea though... however when I looked at the github I pretty much closed the tab after seeing the javascript directly rendering HTML.

Does anyone know if its possible to seperate that in such a way that Angular or knockout works?

Or am I just not "enlightened" about the way it works? Which is also certainly possible.
Android has had this for quite a while, though not to many apps make full use of it. http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/notifications.h...
The report they allude to as being "not true" is here: http://wallstreetforensics.com/sapphire-screens-miss-apple-i...

"By the way, some reports stated that up until a few weeks before the iPhone announcement, Apple was going to use sapphire but dropped it because of yield issues. This is not true."

I don't think mosh-type scenarios are what HPN-SSH aims to improve. It is more targeted at high-bandwidth, high-latency scp transfers.

Not enough financial resources to do things for ourselves, like engage with new tech, do outdoor pursuits and so on. Living vicariously through others on TV is something we can afford.

Lack of energy and focus in our parenting.

Probably some social pressure is in there too; certainly being able to talk to people about something in the mass media eases social interactions.

Childcare availability - we don't live near family that could watch the kids whilst we go out. Also passively consuming is easier than actively participating; general poor motivation [on my part].

That would be my surface analysis.
I have to mention that Asperger's is no longer an official diagnosis -- it's been dropped from the DSM for an excellent reason (too easy to assign the diagnosis to nearly anyone).

This will all change when we begin explaining mental illness, rather than describing it as we do now.
Android has had them for some time, and as you say, they are fantastic.

When implemented. It's a weakness of Android that few developers take advantage of all the features - I suspect a lot of apps are made iOS-first, so if a feature isn't available in iOS, it isn't implemented on Android. I hope that iOS gaining this feature will mean it is used a lot more on Android, too.
This looks really smooth. Congrats a shipping a great product.

Zak from Upverter here - You're right!

But we've got a newer version of this converter project that we are cleaning up right now. Its also able to do Altium, Cadence, and their libraries. Coming soon!
Hmm.. By this logic, Kerbal Space Program should also be valued around this price. Its a highly creative and potentially educational toy ABOUT sending primates (or whatever kerbals are) into low earth orbit!

Yeah, latest release (3.13). I'm not too worried about saving space, since I have a 32 GB microSD card in it, and my Kickstarted 64 GB PonoPlayer should arrive before Christmas.
I wasn't aware of this, despite having used enough Android in the past. Shows you how many implement it, I suppose :)

The iPhone is a camera that makes phone call. There's a lot of camera lenses to make.
That's a good point. We'll have to see if this means it'll be picked up more on Android too, it could get very interesting.
It's ironic - the addition of extensions, custom keyboards and the like was possibly going to be enough to bring me back to iOS from Android - I always preferred the hardware, just wanted a little more flexibility from my software.

But now Apple has totally ditched the 4" hardware factor - the main reason I liked the hardware so much. To me, Apple has lost an edge by doing that.
" It's probably unreasonable to pin your hopes on apple have some revolutionary breakthrough with their smartwatch (they've been pushed to market by public pressure just as much as LG and Samsung have), but it's even more unreasonable to think that samsung has some amazing secret plan."

I strongly disagree. I think they are both exactly as reasonable as each other :)

(and i also believe both are unreasonable. I'm not actually arguing they have any secret plans, i'm more arguing that the likelihood of them having secret plans, and apple having secret plans, is equal)
I really wish I could block ads somehow on my iPad Air. I'm pretty invested in the Apple ecosystem and use an LTE iPad Air almost every day on public transit, and the inability to block ads really makes mobile Safari a shitty experience. I mean, I'd never run (and I'm sure a lot of people here don't either) a desktop browser without some sort of ad blocking going on. That and being able to have two apps run side by side would be a great boost to my commuting productivity, but I've long since resigned that I'll finally have to move ecosystems if I want any of that.
Most of what you're asking for exists in Upverter.

* Our default account is free & open-source.
* We've made UX a huge priority
* We've got the largest and most complete component library in the world
* We have an open source project for converting all of the ugly old propriety formats into an open, documented json format
* We monetize through privacy similar to github

And we've built a whole bunch of magic into Upverter that none of the other tools can even touch:

* 5 min setup: Nothing to install, maintain, no versions, no patches, no virtual machines, no need for Windows NT or some outdated OS to run the software etc. It's all online, pretty easy.

* Fully collaborative, and version controlled: You can see who made which change, when, roll changes back and fourth, including in editor issue tracking - all the same perks as designing software.

* Intuitive: Modern UI and UX, no infinite menus or buried features - our biggest user feedback is that Upverter is simply way, way easier to use than anything else.

* 10x Faster: parts are easier to create, you can do schematics and layouts at the same time, you can use open source parts, and build on open source reference designs, reuse modules... no syncing netlists, and no wasted effort.

* 10x cheaper: ($40 per user per month.) No huge upfront payment, and no hidden "maintenance" charges. Altium just jacked their prices up to $10K for a single user licence, Mentor and Orcad are just as bad and were seeing a lot of inbound because of it.

* Agile and responsive. Our support team is our dev team. If they can push some code to make your life easier overnight, it will happen. If you run into a problem, they will fix it in real time.

* Designed for growth. Sharing, collaboration, version control, flex users - you name it, its baked it. You wont run into a wall in 3 months, and you wont need to switch packages when you raise more money.

* Table stakes. It does everything that any of the other packages do. You dont have to give up any performance, complexity, or sophistication - so most of this is magic, extra, and unique to Upverter.

+ More of our Magic Features: IPC generators / BGA generators, Generics, Real-time design rule checking, Trace ghosting & Net highlighting when routing, Fast toggle between schematic & layout / Multi monitor support, Auto sync & save, Unlimited persistent undo, redo, In-design issue tracking, Fast module creation for design reuse, Auto schematic routing, Flex users, sharing, embedding, Real-time design collaboration, Cross probing

I really recommend you check it out! upverter.com

Didn't / don't many Android phones ship with this same hardware?
I noticed that. I guess they figure people don't want to type on a tablet? I'd like to have that choice however.
Yes, I know because I script for them all the time, but at least Adobe's API's try to be more robust than Apple's. My point was really more towards there being more to scripting than just Apple's own apps.
Not introverted, more like Aspergers or obsessive-complsive I would think. This description covers some aspects of introversion, but most of it was not typical introversion. You can be a messy, uninterested, boring and unintelligent slob of an introvert - it doesn't matter.

Introversion/Extroversion is not a polar-thing like gender anyway. I dislike it when you do tests/training/exercises or whatever and they declare "You are Introverted" or "You are Extroverted" like it is a single binary option that you can only ever be one of the other.

I've always thought of it as more shades of grey (in both directions).
disconnect.me now has an ipad app. I've been using it to block ads (an extra fee). It works fairly well, but doesn't catch everything.
C++ IDEs already offer such feature.

That simply mean that the app was killed usually for memory reasons, you see the old content because the app shows you a screenshot that was taken before going in the background, and then starts again, thus refreshing
My Note 3 has wifi and data running all the time, and bluetooth/GPS running whenever I'm in the car (~an hour a day, usually?), and I haven't ever gotten more than a day on a charge. Are you using that much less than I am, or is my dumb, giant screen finally catching up with me?
How to decrease IT Ops noise by 70% in five minutes, a case study
If there's a shortage of Android developers, find a good developer with no Android experience and assign him an Android project. It'll take him less time to learn than it will take you to find your dream candidate purple squirrel.
Are there some case studies or examples?

It look pretty cool, but I have no idea what i should do with Structr.
So... Debian users will need to grab security fixes for `apt-get` using... `apt-get`?
As a huge fan of KSP and mostly uncaring towards Minecraft, I can't really disagree.
There's some real rubbish in here. De Moivre had demonstrated the link between the golden ratio and the Fibonacci sequence. Euclid knew the geometry of a pentagon involved the golden ratio. The discovery that a new geometrical structure encompassing 5-symmetry threw up the three of them isn't surprising. It would be surprising if it didn't.
This is awesome and I can see so many use cases with logistics in cities like NYC by using addresses, and not capitals, as waypoints.

I would love to see this applied to the NYC taxi data to see how to optimise taxi movements and see how much ridesharing would decrease car traffic.

> The OP clearly has Social Anxiety Disorder, also known as "social phobia".

Has anyone considered that giving an empty name to a description adds nothing to the conversation? Until the day Social Anxiety Disorder shows up in an electron micrograph (pics or it didn't happen), it's something that psychologists made up, like Asperger Syndrome (now abandoned) or homosexuality as a mental illness (abandoned in the 1970s).

The fight against homosexuality as a mental illness was terrifying to watch. Many professionals appeared before hearings wearing masks, to argue against this addition to their oppression, before psychologists finally realized their disease mongering was causing real harm and removed homosexuality from the DSM.

With Asperger's it was exactly the opposite -- it was an attractive diagnosis, everyone wanted it, such that psychologists finally realized they had created a monster lacking the clear definition that might have brought it under control.

Yes - The default is to stroe your data in the cloud.

But you can always download all of your designs in an open well documented json format.
I'd never run (and I'm sure a lot of people here don't either) a desktop browser without some sort of ad blocking going on

I'd actually be interested to see an HN poll on this. I do not run an ad blocker and frankly I find most complaints about ads online to be totally overblown. Years ago there was a hellish amount of pop-ups, pop-overs and pop-unders, but these days I really don't have many problems, and I'm happy to support the sites I use.
Check out the Atomic Web Browser - I think it's getting a bit older but works well, and blocks ads:

Yeah, that bugged me, too.

Lisp code is written as an AST? True. C++ (and other) compilers convert code to an AST? Also true. Therefore "No matter if you are programming in Python or C++, Lisp is invariably what holds up the scaffolding behind the scenes. This is true because Lisp is the Lingua Franca of your compiler"? Non sequitur (literally, "it does not follow").

That logic boils down to "A is a C, and B is a C, therefore A is a B". No, it isn't. It would be equally (il)logical to claim that "B is an A", that is, that Lisp was a C++ compiler.
To be fair: we added the button just now.. :)

Prejudice is not the same as fact and statistics:

"Phishing and related cybercrime is responsible for billions of dollars in losses annually. Gartner reported more than 5
million U.S. consumers lost money to phishing attacks in the 12 months ending in September 2008 (Gartner 2009). This
paper asks whether the majority of organised phishing and related cybercrime originates in Eastern Europe rather than
elsewhere such as China or the USA. The Russian “Mafiya” in particular has been popularised by the media and
entertainment industries to the point where it can be hard to separate fact from fiction but we have endeavoured to look
critically at the information available on this area to produce a survey. We take a particular focus on cybercrime from
an Australian perspective, as Australia was one of the first places where Phishing attacks against Internet banks were
seen. It is suspected these attacks came from Ukrainian spammers. The survey is built from case studies both where
individuals from Eastern Europe have been charged with related crimes or unsolved cases where there is some nexus to
Eastern Europe. It also uses some earlier work done looking at those early Phishing attacks, archival analysis of
Phishing attacks in July 2006 and new work looking at correlation between the Corruption Perception Index, Internet
penetration and tertiary education in Russia and the Ukraine. The value of this work is to inform and educate those
charged with responding to cybercrime where a large part of the problem originates and try to understand why. "
I've been saying two things here for a couple years:

- Apple needs bigger phones.

- Apple needs to offer multiple sizes of phones.

I was fought on each of these points endlessly. And now Apple finally arrived at the same conclusion.

Here are two quotes from this review that summarize why I held fast to those points.

> It’s the iPhone 6: a bigger, brighter, badder iPhone designed to appeal to the customers for whom the iPhone 5S and its 4-inch screen now seem adorably antiquated. (Which is basically everybody.)

> The whole time I’ve had the iPhone 6, I’ve been playing a game. I hand the phone to someone, and guess what phone they use based on their immediate reaction. iPhone users are always shocked by the sheer size of the 6; they all think it must be the 6 Plus. Android users, on the other hand, are unfazed. "This looks just like my phone," they all say.

I'm not going to poo poo this phone at all. Apple has finally answered the market and produced a great product. It's my hope that this forces Android makers to up their game as well and everybody, iPhone or Android users will win as a result.
"Banking is already well established in Scotland and in the same way that New York’s banking infrastructure has slowly given rise to a growing clutch of tech companies"

Two thoughts: many Scottish banks have indicated that they will relocate in the event of independence:

http://money.cnn.com/2014/09/11/news/economy/scotland-indepe...

and I'm not so sure that the NYC tech scene has sprung up as a result of its banking industry. In many ways it has held it back, by taking a lot of tech talent.

"There’s a real opportunity for growth in an Independent Scotland as a direct result of significant foreign investment (see the Irish tiger of the 80s and 90s)."

Given the current state of Ireland, I really, really, really don't think you want to use the Irish tiger as a possibility for a future Scotland.
eh, totally ditched? the 5s and 5c remains available.
The tax break thing is a mess, simply because as the UK (and to a lesser degree France) discovered the EU prevents any member state from being able to compete with the likes of Canada, or the provinces of Canada, on this front. This is why the "cultural test" becomes important, but in the case of Scotland where the great videogame export is GTA while one Glasgow based episode sounds possibly amusing it's not the foundation for longevity.

The other aspect of this is outside of defence and finance the UK tech sector took an absolute hammering over the last decade. You have the odd success story like ARM, but the games industry in north America is crawling with a disproportionately high number of Brits (and French people). In Montreal you could even tell when Realtime Worlds (makers of Crackdown based in Dundee) closed down thanks to the sudden influx of Scots. It is said that Scotland's greatest export is the people.

On immigration policy I tend to think Scotland has the right idea, and rather than it being feared in the rest of the UK they should embrace it too. The raw problem is really one of housing shortage, and embracing skilled people coming in while dealing with housing is a far healthier idea than pulling up the drawbridge. Perversely if Scotland stayed within the UK and the UK did enact that policy Scotland's people deficit would most likely remain.

Ultimately though an independence vote will create an investment situation with all the appeal of Detroit. The fun part is that narrowly rejecting independence won't be much better, and in the long run could be even worse.
