The way it is now, you lose your keys and you're effectively homeless. This is why people have spare keys under mats. This is why backups are a good idea. Have everything on your phone, but still keep a spare key if you lock yourself out, keep a spare method of identification, keep a spare method of payment. I don't see why we would sacrifice redundancy when we consolidate to make things more convenient.

Does the world end when you lose your keys or wallet now? Then why would it things change if their form changes? Again, it is far, far more convenient for me to replace a phone than it is for me to replace the half dozen cards I carry in my wallet; not to mention the countless more I won't/can't fit in my wallet without looking totally crazy.

Oh, and the existing spare key option is wildly insecure. I'd rather have a Lockitron-type device that will also accept a password or fingerprint or something. That'll drive some security experts nuts, but honestly it's far more easy and likely someone will smash in my window than hack my computerized lock or lift my fingerprints.
Actually, its medium-to-long-term savings goal functionality is the only thing I don't like about YNAB. It's good for the sort of "save $5/month for something that will eventually cost an indeterminate amount of money" use case, but not as good for the "I want to have exactly $X saved at exactly Y date, a single time", like for a car or house down payment. To do that, you have to manually figure out X / (Y - NOW) / 12, and then make sure to carry it forward each month, and cancel it after the time comes.

Hardly a death knell, but I think it could do better to encourage closed-ended known-amount savings than it does!

That's sad. The response should be proper credit card safety from banks and retailers.

I don't use the magnetic strip (only chip) and I don't without pin. Online use of MC/Visa passes through SecureCode/Verified by visa to ensure that leaking the CC details from a third party shouldn't be causing any skimming of my account. It's not fool proof but I'd say it's at least safer than cash and checks.

The web designer’s guide to social media
Be that as it may, Steve Jobs' track record as of 1997 wasn't very promising. OK he founded Apple, but he alienated a lot of people along the way, was forcibly removed from upper management for being impossible to deal with, and was behind one massive flop in the Lisa and another admittedly brilliant product, the Mac, which fell short of expectations and had to be changed in ways Jobs would have never approved of to succeed (hard drives, cooling fans, expansion slots).

After that, there was Next, which was a massive commercial flop in many incarnations until eventually becoming a vendor of an enterprise web application framework in the form of WebObjects. His biggest success was Pixar, where he essentially did little more than provide money and handle business stuff while John Lasseter ran the actual studio.

Furthermore, the guy making the decisions was Gil Amelio, who probably wasn't looking to hire his successor as CEO. Amelio wasn't some interim appointment while they searched for someone to replace him, he was supposed to be the real CEO. Getting Steve Jobs back was a nice gesture for Apple fans and a nice story for the press but not the driving factor. The driving factor was that the Mac was dead without a new OS. Options other than Be and Next were considered, including Solaris and Windows NT, but Next was the preferred option and there were both business and technical reasons for that.

I'll be trying my hand at some LED strip / arduino programming to build a dawn alarm that goes from dim red to bright white progressively. I have a Philips halogen dawn alarm which naturally goes from orange -> red as it ramps up, but unfortunately doesn't get quite as bright as I would like for that "wake up at the cabin" experience.

I'd love to see more applications of LEDs providing the right color temperature and intensity for the time of day, as well as more applications that avoid the bulb form factor. I'd love for my ceiling to emit light like the sky...
But it does contain useful advice
Some baseline level of knowledge is always needed. It may or may not be the case that you have enough knowledge needed, as a beginner, for any given project.

For a simple website, it may be possible to just poke around in a tutorial and glean everything you need. For a complex web service or server process, maybe not.

Why advocate for this "learn no more than is necessary" position?
People learn in different ways; none of them are right. And you wouldn't say that about calculus, would you?

The enthusiasm for minimizing formal, up-front learning coming out of the Peter Thiel school of thought strikes me as very short-sighted and suitable only for relatively simple projects. It is a reflection of SVs obsession with short-term profits.
This is the most important point here. Facebook can afford to do this because their users don't care. No one really needs Facebook or depends on it to work at critical times.

1. Your point has nothing to do with vagueness. It has to do with precisely what I described: criminalizing too much.

2. The CFAA says nothing about explicit authorization. It just requires "authorization." There will be fringe cases where it will be difficult to determine what that means, but usually (including the example you helpfully provided -- yes, of course I'm authorized to access news.ycombinator.com) it could not be easier.

Sorry to be That Guy but this is one of the reasons I'm really getting into Haskell, the more I study it. Clojure's still stronger for exploratory work, but Haskell's the only language where I feel comfortable that I'm breaking nothing when I "move fast" (at least, on code I haven't touched in a while).

Ok, I'm totally That Guy so I'm just going to shut up.

It's both harder and easier. There is a mechanical transformation, without un- or approximately translatable idioms like natural language. On the other hand, the dependency chain is much more complex - with something like link-time optimization, a change to one part of the code can completely change the result (for instance, if it suddenly allows inlining of a function everywhere). There is also the problem of, if not "idiom translation", "idiom generation" - people write code in a particular style that may not be captured by the generated output, even if it compiles the same.

Targeting something like Clang specifically, where you have access not only to the assembler & a potential source, but also a whole AST & intermediate data structures, would be pretty interesting.

There is a common misconception that introversion/extroversion is about having social skills or not. Sure there is likely some correlation, but I would consider myself to have decent social skills, and I'm guessing others would as well.

Introversion to me is more about how I recharge. If I am interacting with someone else, it takes energy to do so. If I was an extrovert, such an experience might replenish my energy. Instead, I recharge by being alone and solo activities.

So when I reference introversion, it was more in regards to how I recharge, not my level of social skills.

Hey stoev - Amp founder here. Great comments, tailoring to your hearing pattern and headphones is a big part of what we focus on in addition to your environment, and I'm glad you're excited by it.

Music, and audio in general, has traditionally been mastered for 'ideal' studio conditions, which are perfect listening environments. In the real world, a lot of people are listening to their iPod earbuds while walking down a busy streets and have less than perfect hearing, which completely negates a lot of the hard work that the studio engineers put into the mastering process.

Look at any live event where audio plays a big role - you almost always have a sound engineer leveling and remixing sound, so that the little details shine through as the environment changes constantly. We're automating that process , and bringing it to your phone, so you can enjoy great sound no matter where you are.

Speaking to the speakers specifically, we've done a lot of work with our DSP engine and acoustics to really reinforce the sound in the low 200 - 300 Hz range, which is where a lot of the warmth perception comes from. There are a lot of really cool acoustical tricks you can play with resonances and backflow volumes - its not just the speaker driver itself, but what you do with the enclosure and the volume behind the speaker that makes a huge difference.
> Does the world end when you lose your keys or wallet now?

No.

> Then why would it things[sic] change if their form changes?

Because the forms are consolidated into one: if you had your way, losing one's phone could mean losing keys, ID, wallet, etc. It's replacing metal fucking keys--the only thing allowing you into your home (without breaking in)--with fragile electronics.

Oh, and what would happen if you had your way and someone lost their phone?

"Oh well, lemme make a call and see if I can get a replaceme--oh, wait..."

Replacing my ID, keys, and cards wouldn't be fun, but all of that would be a fucking pleasant walk in the park compared to replacing a phone containing all of those things.

Again, I find myself literally unable to comprehend how anyone could possibly think that this is anything but a horrible idea.

I'm guessing the app has a small built-in webserver - or perhaps relays through a 3rd party webserver - and the others join up in their browser using some kind of websocket like transport? Wonder if they direct the others to the app user's phone's internal wifi IP?
If you're writing server side code, then there is nothing wrong with relying on the JVM. High performance, self optimized over time can easily make up for the long startup time, and high memory usage.
Hmm.

Well, given that "move fast and break nothing" does have that catchy je ne sais quois (at least to me) that makes a motto resonate, I'm assuming it is controversial in some way. Maybe not in whether it's a good idea but in whether it's even possible. I think it is a pretty controversial/shocking claim to say that you can move with startup efficiency without sacrificing the reliability that slow-moving large corporations with pointy-haired bosses seek. If the industry readily accepted that claim, the industry would look a lot different from how it does now.
I think that it's not meant to replace those. It's meant to replace the act of passing your phone around in person — say, around a dinner table — in order to show photos to the people you're with.

Would this be analogous to self-defense? A server was trying to hack into his computer (his honeypot). Logically, taking measures to stop the intruder would be legally acceptable. Yes, the server could just have been blacklisted, but stopping the problem at its source is more effective imo.

Would this be a valid defense if he ever gets accused? Is hacking into the server of a hacker who is hacking you to stop the hack legally acceptable?
Can the feature be switched off? If not, that sounds pretty awful.

Hi. I'm the creator of WhatTheDeploy.

That's certainly on the possible roadmap. Right now, I'm trying to determine the best way of accomplishing that without requiring someone to poke a giant security hole in their application.

It can be accomplished right now if you're OK with a security hole by creating a separate dummy account and enabling Basic Auth through that single account.

Very much open to better suggestions, however.
They also change the name from "Windows Intune" to just "Microsoft Intune", and did the same with "Windows Azure" to just "Microsoft Azure".

I'm at a loss for why this is targeted for iPhone and not tablets. At least for me tablets are in the uncanny valley where they are large enough to be used for media consumption (i.e. watching Netflix in bed) AND the speakers are too small/weak so I am annoyed by the sound quality. The iPhone DACs are fine for 99% of mp3 headphone listeners and most cars/aftermarket car stereos have integrated Bluetooth nowadays if you want to take your calls on even bigger speakers.

The irony is that moving fast is itself a side effect of breaking things. I've noticed that if you prioritize speed at the expense of quality, you get neither, but when you prioritize quality you tend to get both.
If I'm reading it correctly: "null" would be a valid value, but a key/name would still need to be specified. So a blank document with the word "null" on it is invalid because the value of null has no key... but again, I may be reading it wrong.
Thank you for elaborating. It appears that you're thinking about an application in the abstract (e.g. Customer objects) rather than HN in particular. Perhaps that is the source of my dissonance...I don't think it is critical for HN to serve up state in real time, but that's just me.

The moral obligation is to TRY to pay it back. I fully concede that it's not a black and white issue, but there's a big difference between refusing to pay a debt and being unable to pay a debt.

If you borrow money for any reason with the understanding that you'll pay it back, but you secretly intend to keep it all along, then you are doing something wrong (morally if not legally).
