Richard, I'm aware Chrome does some interesting backflips on iOS to attempt to get around all of Apple's anti-competitive rules. I was keeping things brief for a comment. Chrome on iOS does some rather creative things like the networking stack you mentioned. It's impressive, really.

Still, the actual rendering engine bits have to be Safari. Heck, the whole reason Google built their own networking stack was because of those absurd iOS restrictions so they could implement a subset of the features that Chrome on Android has. So, the app will always be artificially hobbled because of the restrictions. And it simply can't be as fully functional as it is on other platforms due to those limitations.

None of that takes away from the fact that overall it's a good thing for Firefox to be in front of iOS users. I honestly do think it is. That way, Firefox remains a viable alternative for those users in Apple-land so they can sync between Mac OS X and iOS.

At the same time, I'm sad. Because a Firefox UI around the Safari rendering engine just feels wrong. It may sound silly, but it does feel like a little piece of what Firefox stands for fell with this decision. And I've been promoting Mozilla since its creation and packaging and promoting Firefox since before it hit 1.0.
No different than any other symbol name in the global namespace though.
Given all the malware on Android, including giant botnets, it would seem that poor sandboxes are the current state of the art.

The difference is that Apple is willing to recognize this and protect their customers from the shortcomings.

Android's million node botnets and thousands of pieces of malware are not Apple's marketing. They are the reality of what Apple's policy has succeeded in protecting it's customers from.

Can I ask what kind of shoes you were wearing, and if you tried other shoes? Have you ever tried running barefoot?

When I started running, I wore shoes, and my feet hurt all the time. I stopped wearing shoes, and the foot pain stopped, too. I've since found shoes I can wear when it's cold/wet that don't hurt, but running barefoot is still my go-to style.

I think normal running shoes are probably fine for most people, but I benefited quite a lot from running without shoes at all.
The age of the solution and number of people knowing about it... Well. :)
How the hell did they reverse entropy on that photo?
Looks like his site is down, too much HN traffic.
What kind of shoes were you using? People have unique feet, so you may need to be fitted. Find a running store and sit down with an employee to find running shoes that will best suit your feet.
I actually didn't know about the fork of node until recently (reading another article)

But it looks like this blog post is a little too late -- people have already gotten annoyed enough to fork off and go in their own direction (which is not necessarily a bad thing)

Glad that Joyent is addressing it though. Though the article comes off to me as "we made a board, it will handle issues like this in the future, nodeJS is not broken/going to implode".
Do you (or anybody) have evidence to support this? Genuinely curious since everything I've read shows that surface doesn't matter. I understand this result is counter-intuitive but I was under the impression its a well documented result.
That's sounds more like a "game theory" statement than a real life decision. The demographic you're describing isn't known for it's long-term planning capabilities, and most crimes are committed with the expectation that you won't get caught.
If you keep using a crop of your mother from her Playboy centerfold in the '70s as a test case for your algorithms, and you encourage other scientists to use the same picture, I might be a bit weirded out.

I presume that ARC cannot be used because of the patent for it.
This is what you want http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanadium_redox_battery

The extremely large capacities possible from vanadium redox batteries make them well suited to use in large power storage applications such as helping to average out the production of highly variable generation sources such as wind or solar power, helping generators cope with large surges in demand or leveling out supply/demand at a transmission constrained region.
Hi, just a heads up. In Portuguese, Antha sounds a lot like anta (tapir). While we rarely talk about the animal, it is used as slang for idiot, dumb. I enjoy playing with bioinformatics tools, so I'll give it a try :) thanks for sharing!
The Fastest Camera Ever Created Will Be Used to Study Invisibility Cloaks
Sure. This picture was painted by Dali, inspired by a Scientific American article about the minimum number of pixels needed to recognize an image. He was making an artistic statement that has a direct connection to Fourier analysis (and if you read the context article that image came from you might know this). This is a painting whose context is "fine art" (i.e. you can have tasteful nudity). That is a different context from pornography, whose purpose is sexual.

You clearly do not understand how the context of an image matters in interpreting it.

That may be true of Soliloquy, but I'm not sure it's the case that lattice problems were originally researched as an antidote to QC. Lattice theory has applicability to cryptography in general, so it's natural that people explored its suitability as a crypto primitive.

I don't think it's reasonable to draw the conclusion from this paper that "cryptographers set out to foil QC and in this case failed". One derivative scheme in a broad class of lattice crypto designs fell, that's all.

Lattice crypto has very strong post-quantum crypto marketing, because of NTRU.

Nothing really, but it mean your extensions aren't really first class syntactically. A developer has to remember that they write s.size() but not s.count_utf8_codepoints().

Bjarne Stroustrup actually has an interesting proposal to fix this by unifying free functions and method call syntax in C++17 although the proposal sounds pretty aggressive to me: http://isocpp.org/files/papers/N4174.pdf Would be an interesting change.
Bought - I was very, very lucky to have gotten it. But the builder/architect who made mine have built six so far in Portland, none of which have sold for much more than market prices. There's a lot of debate about how necessary going all the way to PH is, there's a "Pretty Good" house movement of just doing more generous insulation / other efficiency improvements, which is also much better than doing the bare minimum required by code. Less is more, either way.
HN isn't creating subtopics because HN is paranoid about making changes to the structure of the site, particularly when those changes make the site look and feel like Reddit (because then the sort of people who like Reddit might show up here and stink up the place. And that would be terrible. Just terrible.)

The motivation, I think, is primarily twofold - a desire to 'recreate' HN with a more limited focus, or with a different and more up-to-date UI which still maintains the minimalism people like about the original. Why make a 'HN for data science?' Maybe because stories about data science can't get the focus one might like here.
So much promise but a clunky abomination imo. I personally wasted a lot of time with it about 10 years ago. I've noticed that technologies that are easier to work with in a text editor eventually win out.

I would expect a Mars mission to be coupled to a living space during transit. Bigelow's inflatable modules might be a good fit, and they're testing one soon on the ISS.
True. But can a browser without its own rendering engine really be called a browser? To me, Firefox without gecko just isn't Firefox. But, to an end user that just wants their bookmarks to sync and doesn't care about choice, it doesn't really matter.
That definitely looks like a scam ...

I don' think that's true at all - I think it's reasonable to ask that people who develop games are really into games... That doesn't mean they should be taken advantage of. You still need to pay them well, or they'll go work for your competition, or start their own company.

There are a lot of talented developers who want to develop games, so employers shouldn't have a hard time finding the right people. It's not like run-of-the-mill business admin software. For that, you actually need to pay people more to get them motivated.
I love my work, I worked lots of jobs I hated; until I decided fuck it, and started applying for work in the job I always wanted to do (but never thought I had enough education for. Never been happier, not in my entire life.
Devirtualization for example.
Why in the world are they even using c_str so often in the first place? That makes me worry more about security holes than performance...
Well, yes, but there's a reason that you generally avoid using the global namespace, and open classes basically make extensions to classes have the same problems that globals have.

(In Ruby, where open classes are a major and frequently-leveraged feature, this became a serious issue; hence, why Ruby 2.x introduced refinements as an alternative that provides much of the utility of open classes but with less opportunity for conflicts.)
Problem is that you can't link to BPG images yet. Specifically, right click -> copy link location.

If only the rightclick menu could be customized by JS. Adding only a limited number of entries to the menu seems like it'd be okay.
Anyone got an opinion?
By the same logic, it would be perfectly okay use goatse image if the guy permitted it, right?

If the ability to represent the goatse image were a critical part of the evaluation process for a compression algorithm, then yes. However, we evolved to recognize and respond to subtle features in human faces, not human colons. So, no, goatse would not be an appropriate reference image.

Not all companies issue emails to their employees. Users who are adding old positions may not have access. There are all sorts of headaches the other way around too. You have access to your domain and email because you just created the page but that doesn't mean everyone else will. It's a trade off both ways and there needs to be a better solution than what you're suggesting.
I use a http://www.goldtouch.com/ergonomic-keyboards/ which forces me to never have my wrists on the table (or on a gel pad). I requires a good posture (elbows almost 90 degrees). With mice I make sure they're big so I can rest my whole hand on them. Apple mice are too low and small in my opinion. Goldtouch also has mice in kind of a 30 degree angle but I never got used to them. I have no recommendation on trackpads. I'm glad you're at least not crouching in front of a small laptop in a cafe.
Ask HN: What is your favorite service dashboard/management UI?
Hi there!

What is your favorite dashboard/management console, and what do you like about it? What features/flows set them apart? I have only had experience with AWS and New Relic, and AWS's console is very powerful but not what I would consider an example of a great one. It's a tough task to present complex data and configuration settings, and I'd like to find some examples of good design and feature set that people find awesome!

Some background: I am building a new dashboard/management console for my company, which provides cloud-based services targeting enterprises (for now). My experience is coming from start-ups and more consumer-side products, so one of my concerns is that I am not sure if enterprises look for different things in services they use than, say, a start-up dev.

Thanks!

I wouldn't call the hypocrite Michael Moore an asset to any publication. Unless it's a publication about buying mansions and eating cheeseburgers.
You're missing the point, which is that it's not the specific image, but that testbeds use suggestive photos of attractive women and not men. You want people to feel free to use nudity or suggestiveness. Fine. I want them to be equal about which suggestive photos they use. As in not all women.

And now you're saying that French researchers don't care, but they do because they don't want to anger Americans? (And somehow they're all white, live on the west coast, and have iPhones?) What a crazy web you're weaving.

Google Account – New security tools to help improve online security
Ah, I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the correction. I just assumed it made more sense to keep it separate since it won't be sharing any existing Firefox code since it doesn't use gecko or XUL and will be written in Apple's Swift language. Twas a silly assumption. Voted up.
In most parts of the world optional means optional.

If you're talking about the US in particular there are MANY things which are opt out (e.g. newsletters, sharing your information, recurring subscriptions after trial, organ donation (in some states, when applying for a driving licence), nude body scanners, and so on).

While I agree these filters should be opt-in, not opt-out, I think your claim that most of the world does it the other way is simply inaccurate. Even with kid-friendly net filters a lot of other countries and ISPs you are opted in unless you uncheck that box or request it.

(Shrug) I can point to outraged people "speaking up" about everything from global warming to Jar-Jar Binks. It doesn't prove much, except that some people enjoy a good bout of outrage.

I've always heard a lot of this is due to improper running technique, since shoe technology shifted to a heavily-padded heel. This in turn made people more likely to land on the heel, which sends the shock right up the leg, into the knee.

Barefoot running, and less padded shoes, promote landing on the balls of your feet (as otherwise it's incredibly painful!). Landing on the balls of your feet allows your foot to reduce the force that gets shot up the leg.
Ultra-Compact Lipstick-Sized Portable iPhone Charger
All sports have complications. Swimmers can get shoulder issues and tendinitis (http://physioworks.com.au/Injuries-Conditions/Activities/swi...). Cyclists can suffer overuse injury, but also seem at risk of getting mown down by traffic (admittedly a general risk, but it seems a higher one for regular bike users) http://physioworks.com.au/Injuries-Conditions/Activities/cyc...

I suspect it's a matter of cross-training, of trying to do some compensating weight training, and luck.
With additional effort you can by including the proper JS. However, many sites would find this a benefit rather than a problem, since hotlinking takes away page-views.

Everyone's responses are spot-on. But I can understand that it still may not be intuitive to you.

The difficulty is that we see pictures and videos of our satellites and shuttles in orbit, and they look peaceful and serene. What's missing from those images and videos is a visceral feel that they are going over 17,000 mph. If they went less, they would leave orbit, and hit the Earth.

Objects in orbit are not "outside" of Earth's gravity; they are not just up there, just floating in space. The reason they don't "fall to Earth" is that they are falling to Earth. Constantly. It's just that their horizontal speed relative to the Earth is so large that they are - literally - falling around the Earth.
The US is currently, and for the foreseeable future, solely reliant upon Russia to get astronauts to & from LEO & the ISS. Frankly, I'm surprised Putin hasn't rattled that saber yet.

A few things I can recommend:

(1) Switch to the Colemak keyboard layout -- it significantly reduces the work your fingers have to do.

(2) Vary your mousing devices/behaviors. I love Kensington trackballs, and they're much easier on my wrist than a mouse, but after awhile I get pain in my thumb (because with a trackball you typically use your thumb to left-click rather than your index finger), so I switch back to a mouse for a few weeks. Vertical mice are also nice and I occasionally use one for a change. You can also move your mouse/trackball to the other side of the keyboard and use your non-dominant hand -- it takes a few days to rewire your brain, but it's another good way to change up your mousing behavior.

(3) Consider buying a USB numeric keypad, placing it on the non-dominant side of your keyboard, and using macro software to program the keys for common actions (e.g., scrolling).

You probably need a different brand of shoes. For instance, New Balance works great for me, but I can't ever wear Nike or Avia. Both of those brands really hurt my feet, even though I run all the time. Keep trying different brands, or go to one of those fancy shoe places that can fit your feet properly.
If you want to trade bytes of instructions for bytes of constants, you could store the number of days - 28, so you only need two bits of constant per month.
As jerf said, it's always difficult to see if an implementation of a protocol respects it completely. Most of us trust OpenSSH because of its background. It's old enough, the codebase is mature enough and maintained by the OpenBSD team. However it's quite a massive project, I don't know how they would be able that their implementation fits completely the 6 RFCs, I mean, more than the go implementation.

In our case, the SSH server is not for general purpose, but for something really specific, so it's really easier to test. What other feature? As I will explain next week, our SSH server is actually an authentication/autorization proxy which forwards connections to another server. By building our solution, it is now easier to control the logics for the load balancing etc.
NASA's Mars Capsule Will Never Land on Mars
Not to nitpick, but a couple of comments:

The ounce of truth is that feet (in general) need to be strengthened. YOu can do fun stuf like walking on the beach, on gravel roads, or proper rock climbing, or balance beam work. All of which iwll work to strenghten your feet. What's funny is once your feet are strong, shoes have little to do with it.[1] The inverse is not true - weak feet in barefoot shoes - is likely to create a problem.

Barefoot style shoes may be useful for some people with strong feet, but they are a poor substitute for developing strong feet in the first-place. And they can be outright dangerous for people with weak feet and poor balance, or people subjecting themselves to long-distance or endurance situations. Whereas a trail-running shoe used in a hiking application is a better, safer, and more useful piece of gear.

Lastly, one nice feature that has come out in the recent years is the ability to get the right (so called) drop, in a variety of styles of shoe. And shoes that are either too angled or too 'flat' will present additional challenges, but expecially people with weak feet. The footbed angle needs to be selected based on application.

[1] They can still hurt you, but strong feet in good shoes tend to be fine.
