The recommendations in the module section are pretty awful - I'd avoid doing so, and every other expert in the community I've spoken to also disagree with that suggestion of using global functions wrapped in an IIFE to prevent it from being published on window, which seems to exclusively come out of Google.
This comment is mostly why I have never tread in the feared world of multimedia. I simply don't understand what it means. I mean I can guess at trying to pull the original "tracks" "laid down" out from a recording but - is that possible, common but not FOSS?

I simply don't know where to start and have not had the incentive to discover. It's probably as laughable to others as say someone turnin up and saying "yeah SQL - I sort of understand it's to do with tables right?" But audio and video seem like closed worlds of programming. There seems to be no gateway from here to there.

So something like this is v exciting - it might be the gateway drug.
This is essentially the same system that Netflix and other services use to authenticate devices. Simply include an N character (usually 5) random code that expires in minutes (10-20). They can type in this code on whatever device they want to authenticate.

Include a link in the email in case they are currently on the device they want to authenticate.

This solution is good for long term authentications (registering a device to a service e.g. my Xbox to Netflix), but cumbersome for a service I log into frequently from many unique devices.
I totally agree with namecast.

Also, it depends on your destination(s) and your connections along the way.

It was a really nice experience for me but it was more of a working vacation and by the end of the second year I was already tired of the working part: uncomfortable hours, environment and gigs. I was glad I finally got back home, earning the good bucks on a regular schedule again.

P.S: The "wifi drama" is true, and no better way to express it.
Most people keep their email open, and many have push notifications.
you guys are totally right (in the growth tactics I definitely tell you lots of the non-organic stuff). That being said the idea here is "how to start a startup" and so I was trying to focus on what got Facebook the first 50million users not the next 1.3Billion and how we think about growth for products at Facebook and how I think about it when advising companies. It's always cool to see the different comment threads (one saying I'm too optimized for big company growth, one saying I'm talking about too early, I am hoping that means I pitched it about right :) )
It's kind of hard to believe we still have people like this here. People who're afraid of the future should be banned.
>A lot of the ad JS I see is in the form of inline script tags, which generally should not block anything (the JS usually asynchronously constructs another script tag, which shouldn't impact performance).

Well, it does impact performance, even if it's async. The pipe is only a finite width (especially on mobile).
Audio and video really aren't that closed; they just require a commitment to learning things that are pretty different than what a typical programmer does; and they get math heavy. But they're really, really fun to play with, when you knuckle down, and there's a fairly gentle learning curve from understanding formats and containers to samples to statistical signal processing and psychoacoustic and visual models.

And being good at it means writing your own ticket, if you're a careerist.

Directives are more powerful - for example, child directives can require the parent directive's controller and make use of it, which can lead to some powerful control flow.

You can also define a controller and have the directive consume it via named reference - here is one example that makes use of this: https://github.com/driftyco/ionic/blob/master/js/angular/dir...

Controllers should be consumed this way, so that they become easier to test. Testing directives can get complicated.

A couple of things that people who like this might also be interested in:

Coursera.org is currently running a course called "Audio Signal Processing for Music Applications" which I believe uses python. It's in its second week, so you have time to catch up. https://www.coursera.org/course/audio

http://aubio.org/ is a library that does note onset detection, pitch detection, beat / tempo tracking and various other things. It has python bindings.
My experience is to the contrary, on personal devices, people don't seem to keep their email open.

If by push notifications, you mean mobile devices, then surely that would only log them in on that device rather than on their computer?
you are spot on. I was directly focused on the point in Sam's list (idea, product, team, execution) where you decide when to really focus on the execution phase of scaling and then what to do when you hit it. I think it's easy to over-focus on product design though, big companies are really bad at this, they produce polished products with great user flows and so on but miss the big win. Products like craigslist/eBay/Google weren't really great designed products to start with, they just solved a real need. As such I think Peter T's talk is really good on getting to product market fit.

Sorry, I should have mentioned. For anyone else reading, "fag end" refers to the end of a length of material such as cloth or especially rope. The short end of a rope which is left over from tying a knot is the "fag end". Another similar term is "bitter end", the end of a rope abaft the bitts, that is, the part that remains inboard on a ship.

Ask HN: Your goto authentication for side projects?
Authentication and user management is a real pain when all you want to do is work on the core aspects of your project. I used to use Mozilla's Persona (but they have stopped supporting it) and Meteor has a great solution to getting it done fast, but isn't language or even framework agnostic.

I've been looking around at others, but none are as turn key as those two.

So what is your goto for getting it done quickly at the alpha/beta stage?
Yeah, that's just asking for corruption. "The boss pretends to pay us and we pretend to work" is a situation you don't really want in the police.
Short expiration one time use codes can allow you to authenticate on devices different than the one that receives the email.
But can you remember (or derive) a password for every site you visit, without having to go somewhere else anyway (lastpass perhaps)?
It probably correlates to when it made Slashdot.
The Down's test is definitive, testing for low incidence issues isn't a problem when you can be 99.999....98% confident in your test. Or, more importantly, tests for low incidence occurrences are fine as long as your rate of incidence is substantially higher than your rate of false positive.
The problem with an article like this is that the authors want to make a broad stroke claim against an argument which is far more nuanced than they claim.

And this works both ways; just like taxation and subsidies aren't cures for the things they support with tax revenue or subsidies.

The truth is that people do act selfishly; we just don't understand the "why", a great example is people lining up for the latest gadget, many people question this as crazy but step into the shoes of the people in the line and they have made a very specific decision that at and during that moment they are better off doing what they are doing than doing anything else.

To the onlooker who thinks the people are crazy, this is completely irrational, but to the person in the line, they are making a very rational decision based on what they want.

People will always do things that are in their best interests, and that doesn't mean people wont donate to charity, or help out the community or exhibit 'selfless' traits, its important to understand that these traits are an important part of who the person is, and they can be selfish, in undertaking selfless acts because it furthers their goals which may not be entirely money driven.

The trillion dollar question is why do people make the decisions that they do; entire industries and careers are dedicated to trying to find this out.

A CEO destroying his company is more more evidence of a certain philosophy being wholly wrong, than North Korea is an example that all forms of government are horrible and will eventually lead to a North Korean existence for it's citizens.

The issue is that an unsophisticated user is unlikely to understand the relationship between permissions required and functionality that can be provided, let alone recalling which permissions they gave to which applications months later. Leading to confusion about why an app doesn't work. The worst part is that junk data will cause the app to fail silently and misbehave in unexpected ways.

You don't have to do that. Persona is pluggable, and what looks like your email address isn't, really. For example, I made a third-party authentication platform that you can use to authenticate, instead of your email provider: https://www.persowna.net/
A few issues:

* rawmemchr - it might be faster as it doesn't have to decrement the size_t but this only mildly relevant for lwan as many instances of rawmemchr use are simply rawmemchr(ptr, '\0') which is exactly the same as ptr + strlen(ptr) + 1 and even less optimized.

* pthread_tryjoin_np - __linux__ is defined by gcc not glibc, you should check for __GLIBC__ if you want to use glibc specific functions.

* underscore prefixed functions - pedantic I know but it is reserved for the implementation.
Well, you would have to type the same gibberish twice though.

Besides, I don't think they are claiming to be innovative. I think they just point out there is a redundant step which we can remove from the process.
Are disconnected tokens(1) as a 2-factor auth safe enough?

While I agree that the technology is impressive I personally don't want to wade through codebase full of machine-generated patches. Making sense of code when the original author is not available is bad enough, I don't want to know how bad it gets when there is no author.
I saw it happen in 2004. The University of Bristol has some strange options on their machines, such as home directories being globally readable unless you change it yourself (failure to do so isn't a defence if someone plaigarises your work), but the strangest one I saw was the total lack of ulimits on shared machines.

Every time someone tried to su the IT staff would show up and ask them what exactly they thought they were up to. That went a long way to instilling the idea that you shouldn't mess about doing things you shouldn't on communal hardware.

What is your workflow that this would be any more difficult? The first time you sign up for a service you almost always have to do this anyway for confirmation. If you then select the "Remember me" path, your primary computer is whitelisted and you don't have to do the round-trip.

Due to "Forgot my password" workflows email is already a central authority. If you have two factor auth set up for your email account then you're already pretty well protected and having each and every service use a different two-factor method provides diminishing returns in security.

The funny thing about this proposal is that it is exactly the way my non-technical family members use every service. They don't bother with passwords they just use reset links every time. They don't have to remember anything and it's a common workflow.
SMS is just as intimate as private messages on forums, emails, telegram, photos from different cameras, friend's private facebook posts, et cetera.
It seems that python development speed means well rounded libraries. And IIRC lisp is still not on par with that (quicklisp users feel free to correct me). Other than that I still think that linguistically, lisps still have an edge (and a sharp one).
There is always the last bias: lisp programmers, by their strong academical background, tend to be more educated CS-wise than JS, Ruby, or Python programmers, which enable them to a better understanding of a CS problem. It's almost tautological.

You can't just take 20 programmers and give them a problem to solve, that's not how surveys works.
I'm going to be making some assumptions here, with assumption #1 being that you would be based in the US.

It wouldn't be illegal, but I think you'll have serious issues with viability. Concern #1 would be when / where / why you would distribute my encryption keys. For example, I am a SaaS, perhaps small, perhaps big. You are a one-or-two person startup holding my encryption keys, and the FBI comes knocking with an NSL. You will not have the money / resources to fight it, so you'll turn over those keys without telling me (as you are required to by law). However maybe it was a BS request, and maybe had I known about it I could have fought it with my A+ legal team.

The other issue is one of data mutability. If you are just storing files, there is some merit in separate key storage. However, if your SaaS does something with that data (converts it, processes it, moves it), then those encryption keys will be right back in the hands of the company doing the data holding.

Finally, there are very few companies that care enough about encryption to actually do it, and those who care that much about it probably won't be willing to ship that functionality out of the company.

(A bit about me: I am a webapp security / crypto guy at a mid-sized SaaS company)

We will soon be able to make a water treatment plant small enough for a neighborhood or even a house, powered by PV panels on the roof. Then the only water needed would be the small amount needed to make up for evaporation.

The real problem though is golf courses which use as much water as domestic use and ag which uses a whole lot more. We don't have a solution for agriculture yet but parched places such as CA central valley will probably have to give up on ag.

The statistics on this are absolutely appalling, particularly as violence against women is one of the most under reported events we know of. In short, if the female gender were to have created a religion over the past thousands of years, man would have taken on the role of the devil quite fittingly.

I like Cortesi's take on algorithm visualization: http://corte.si/posts/code/visualisingsorting/index.html

Students are segregated by ability in the US, but in a variety of inconsistent ways. "Tracking," or comprehensive separation by ability, fell out of favor thirty years ago. A lot of this has to do with racial politics, but there's definitely a Lake Wobegon component as well. That said, in individual subjects, there's almost always a regular and an advanced course, and it turns out that the same group of kids are in all of the advanced courses at most schools.

Intra-school politics aside, in the US class and geography are tightly linked. Schools are locally controlled, so rich areas will have their own schools populated solely with their children, and poor areas will have their own schools populated solely with their own children. Rich schools have more advanced and AP (it's like American IB, basically. Very rich areas will have IB courses too) courses, poor schools often have trouble meeting state and federal requirements that science be taught.

So, since 'rich' and 'academic ability' are tightly linked, whatever the nominal defenses against tracking are, they don't mean anything in practice.
