Urbit sample apps
Look at the code in Firefox that handles certificate failures, presents user interface to end users to resolve the ambiguity, and then completes the operation once that happens. Then look at the sample code I linked to. The code I have there is a decent approximation of "idiomatic". The code I'm referring to in browsers is larger by a factor of, what, 100? 1000?

Browsers and operating systems aren't going to add full DNSSEC resolving caches. They're going to use stub resolvers and delegate this problem to "DNS servers" (caches), like they always did. DNSSEC does not protect the last mile. You can dodge this point by redefining the concept of "last mile", but that's not a persuasive argument.

The US NSA controls both the CA hierarchy and .COM. It is amusing to see people try to rescue DANE from criticism by evoking the CA system to protect it.
I know a lot of people here will defend RS for selling phones/plans because "They had to" but it marked the LAST time I set foot in a RS when I went to buy some parts I needed and they tried to sell me a Voyager because "It was better than an iPhone" (Verizon's "iPhone" they released soon after the iPhone released). From that moment on I have just ordered what I wanted online.

That coupled with the fact that they stopped staffing with people who knew anything at all and instead staffed them with people who could sell more phones.
In New Zealand, if I recall correctly, jaywalking rules only apply if you are within 100 metres of a crosswalk. Walking an extra 200 metres to cross the road might seem a bit excessive, but you won't get in trouble for crossing the road when no crosswalk is in sight.

That being said, I haven't heard of anybody ever being caught for jaywalking in New Zealand.
Isn't Clojure on CLR too? I would think that platform might suit it a bit better, and might get better performance in the long run (the case I can think of off the bat is the possibility of tail-call-optimization).
"It could. Riding the bus? It could automatically pull up the bio of a person sitting next to you."

Google, and hence the NSA and the US of America(thanks to Patriot Act) having the information of who is at every moment at a given bus, restaurant, party in any part of the word.... is kind of creepy to me.

With mobile phones they can do it today, but with lots of effort, it draws the battery and I could give my phone to someone else, or leave it on a Faraday box if I want.

With cameras pointing to people you have lots of other metadata, like who is kissing or smiling or hugging whom, who is serious with whom. Who is a leader, who is a follower.

In essence, it is a spy. It is not amazing, people from secret services regularly kill people from other countries if they consider it worth "national security", like a news reporter that wanted to know too much and know hold information that puts "the country at risk".

Talking to people like Arturo Perez Reberte that has been war reporters for decades they tell you very clearly that secret services from the big boys(Russia, US, Israel) have killed some of their friends.

Think for a moment how people, specially women preferred to live in cities instead of villages because they were not controlled in everything they did.

> Fog Creek's setup looks nice, but outside of that, I've rarely seen any company treat their developers like they treat their marketing folks, legal, financial and other areas.

I think a big distinguishing factor here is whether software is the company's primary product or not. At Adobe back in the days it was being run by (founder) John Warnock, there was very much an attitude that the developers were the company's bread and butter, and they were treated well. Junior developers often had private offices to themselves. Same went for Microsoft back then.

Most other types of companies see software developers as overhead and treat them accordingly.
I meant novel applications they hadn't anticipated, not the ones you listed. Sorry if I was unclear in my comment.

In the off chance you ever come back to read this, this is my bad.

I never saw any articles about it at the time. I just remember it always being in my Windows Update list and I was sick of it. Windows Update in my mind should generally be for OS and software updates, and not for software that Microsoft is looking to push.

Which is funny, because I'm a Windows guy who works in the Microsoft stack.
> I'm still looking for the walk-through of how you see the attacks by a government against DNSSEC. I don't see them!

Assume we are attacking example.tld

For the US government: 1a) Use the root zone keys -- that are essentially already under their control -- to sign fake zone keys for fake .tld nameservers. 2a) Continue with 2b) below.

For the government under whose jurisdiction the .tld zone is operated: 1b) Get the zone keys for .tld using legal measures (e.g. the local equivalent of national security letters). 2b) Use the .tld zone key to sign fake example.tld zone keys for fake example.tld nameservers. 3) Serve signed records for example.tld records (via man-in-the-middle attacks).

>Also, I think the tide is shifting. Many cities are moving towards more pedestrian friendly corridors, replacing some streets with parks

But that's orthogonal -- the cities are saying "no cars here". They're not saying "hey, peds get (more) preference on the car-shared roads now". They still enforce the very same car/foot traffic separation that the auto industry (and anyone concerned with safety) wanted.
Do you really think the US imposes life sentences for jaywalking?
Considering phones haven't had Flash (easily installable, that is) for a considerable amount of time, I doubt you're affected.
Congrats Kenton. Your exploration into enterprise makes sense for getting financial resources to pursue open source consumer goals. I am glad I got opportunity to back your campaign. All the best.
$49 is a very interesting price point.

It is easily worth more than $49 to use this software. But $49 is the kind of price where a professional may just buy it from themselves without bothering to hassle their boss to buy it through the company.

This means less of a hard sell and more copies will be sold to people like you or me who discover it through HN or a tweet or something.

I do think they should increase the company price though, because once a company has decided they want to buy it, the sale is done. The difference between $79 and $199 isn't such a big deal, and something like $999 for 10 licenses could be done too.

No, sorry, not damaging my ears for bad decisions of management.

I don't mean to be argumentative, you are just trying to solve the problem that I am in. I've done the headphone thing, they are noise cancelling, I listen to SimplyRain on them, and that helps, but I just can't take all that input. I want quiet. I need quiet. I don't want distraction that is slightly less annoying than the current distraction, at the risk of my health besides.

But yes, your suggestions are really good for the people it can work for.

I concur. Where is the article about the train cabals who deprived people of their inalienable right to have a picnic on the railroad? Where's the stock photo of the Caltrain "$271 fine for crossing when lights on"?
I've been doing something similar using Backbone and Ezel[1] (I first started using Rendr[2], but couldn't get into it): As the OP says, it can be a bit confusing to get your mind around. Particularly the routing; part of my intention was to use the "isomorphic" technique -- btw, as a mathematician, I really hate that this term is used...but I digress -- to create a SPA that falls back to a traditional multipage site if/when JavaScript is disabled. It was a bit of a hurdle, but ultimately proved possible.

I might give React a closer look, having read this.

Oh crap! "Private" offices with glass doors, yeah. So that you never immediately see who enters your office because the door is behind you and you have to turn around. Also with monitors visible to everyone who passes by. This is way worse than any open plan office.
> Unfortunately, full client-side apps (or "single page apps") suffer from slow startup time and lack of discoverability from search engines.

This is simply not true. Google announced that they can crawl single page apps just fine nearly a year ago (http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2014/05/understan...) and although Bing hasn't announced anything they are likely working on the same thing if it's not already rolled out.

Google does this already; it works. Rendering on the server has little actual value in 2015 but it some how became a critical feature all of the JS frameworks are fighting for without proper explanation of its benefit.

EDIT: It's fine if you disagree and I don't even mind being downvoted, but please do explain.
aboutthebsds.wordpress.com is a well known troll site, don't link to it like it contains anything meaningful.
Do you wear a mask when walking down the street? Do you ask people to sign a document if you want them to see your face? There is always a way to abuse anything, and at some point we need to address it on a societal level, and not by blocking technological progress.
Great tip, poor title.
FTR - aboutthebsds.wordpress.com is a well known troll site and nothing on there should be taken seriously..
Oh man, I love his website!

You should have seen it about a year ago, it was even crazier. The same layout engine in C, but it also just did a massive innerHTML set at the root of the page with a huge string of HTML. It was awesome.

Good point, though. He beats me by far.

(PS. you probably know this, but I forgive him because he's an awesome low-level games programmer so it's in his blood to do stuff like that)
>not to walk in front of a moving vehicle.

…and if that were the definition of "jaywalking", you might be on to something. :\

Underlying your comment is the assumption that it is the walker's responsibility to not be injured, not the driver's responsibility not to cause injury. It begs the question.
> Additionally, BuzzFeed was one of the first news sources to use non-neutral headlines that deliberately invoke a reaction in the reader which then subsequently tempts them to click on the article in an attempt to promote virality.

I don't think this is a new phenomenon. Yellow newspapers like The Daily Mail have existed since shortly after the invention of the printing press.
Not sure why you'd say "bad timing". Moving to Vanilla Jekyll is the right decision. You'll be able to use any and all of the new plugins. There's no distinction anymore.
Absolutely agree with this. Over the years Google has gone from being a raw and powerful tool like awk to a curated 'experience' where what you're searching for is distilled to the lowest common denominator.
How about if I wanted to actively subvert the header? Would there be a way to beat Verizon's network to the punch by injecting the same header myself and populating it with garbage data?

>awk applies actions to lines matching patterns. The design seems concise and limited on purpose.

That is what I meant by a "data driven mode".

>what sort of features would you want to add?

An extended awk could at least add new types of patterns, e.g., binary, stateful and nested patterns or formal grammars, regex patterns with match groups, etc., meaning you could correctly process "real" CSV files or log files with complex structure. I believe these features could be made to fit in with the design of the language making them all feel like they belong to the same kind. It could also add new functions such as ones for Unicode text normalization.

Perl5 does much of this and Perl6 even introduces grammars but because of some of its design decisions for me Perl is not a joy to use like Awk. Both of its versions are just plain too big.
I use jekyll and github pages, it's a pretty simple/quick way to set up a personal blog.
If you come from a JS world and like the code->refresh->code->refresh workflow (I do) Clojure is hard adjustment because it requires a lot of boilerplate code up front and you have to remember to run a slow leiningen daemon for each project you're working on.
The article makes clear that city streets were once a mix of pedestrians, pushcarts, street cars, horse drawn vehicles, etc.

The automobile industry didn't just push for equal rights for cars. They already had that. They wanted exclusive rights, and they used the problem of pedestrian deaths as leverage.
It's true. I've over-engineered my blog as well to be isomorphic, but then I realized there was zero need for client side functionality so I've rendered it all static via a simple crawler. Much easier to deploy and serve with NGINX. Comments are powered by Disqus.
This looks interesting, I'm still holding my breath to see if Joyent are going to bring zfs support to docker though. It looks like they're working on reviving lx branded zones instead which is a bit of a bummer as they are (or were) pretty terrible.

99 percent invisible did a great episode about the invention of jaywalking in 2013: http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/episode-76-the-modern-...

It's linked at the bottom of the article as further reading, but it's such a good podcast, I thought I'd mention it (emphatically).
Funny, I applied to work there around the same time. I was working at a deli at the time, making $7/hr, thinking "man there has to be something better." I thought of how I liked going to Radio Shack when I was younger, and how it might be a good experience to work there.

The day I went to apply, they asked if I'd be OK making commissions. I asked what the base was, and they replied something similar to $5/hr. I asked what commissions came from, the manager said "everything!"

On my way out, one of the employees stopped me and told me they collectively barely made any commissions and to stay where I was. I went in there quite a few times after that and never saw the same people working. I guess they had a lot of turnover.
i would absolutely love to use my glass at my desk when working. would do wonders to clear away all the apps i'm running for notifications and constantly checking my phone to see if i got a text or missed call from a client while i was in a meeting or drafting an email.. the major prob is the product is heavily focused on google services. if they came out swinging with a mac notifications app and ios app - i would use it all day. but they didnt, it sits in my drawer as something i use for show and tell.

That depends on your viewpoint.

Google Glass to Explorers: "Thanks for Exploring with Us" (email)
Hi there,

It’s been an exciting ride. Since we first met, interest in wearables has exploded and today it’s one of the most exciting areas in technology. We asked you to be pioneers, and you took Glass further than we ever expected. We’ve learned a ton, we’ve "graduated" from Google[x] labs, and now we’re hard at work and you’ll see future versions of Glass when they’re ready.

Since we’re focusing all our efforts on the future, we’ll be closing the Explorer Program on January 19. We realize you might have questions about what this means for you. New feature development on the Explorer Edition will stop while we work on the next version of Glass, but you can still call or email us anytime with questions, thoughts or feedback.

In the meantime, we’ve created Glass Vol 001 to honor you, our Explorers. It’s a collection of photos and stories from the early days of Glass.

Download Vol 001

The Explorer Program was started to get Glass into the hands of early pioneers who would forge the way. You’ve taken Glass to the edges of the world, from the streets of New York to the tundras of Antarctica. You’ve captured miracles every day, from your wedding vows and your child’s first steps to new ways to save lives. You’ve humbled us by taking what we started and doing more than we ever could have dreamed. Let’s celebrate your bold and brave steps into an uncharted world.

Thank you for being part of the story. We’ll see you in the next chapter.

The Glass Team

You must be talking about The Games People Play[1].

Long ago I bought things there such as the D&D boxed set and the Chivalry & Sorcery[2] rules. Another purchase I made there was a Magic Cube, imported from Hungary before the worldwide release as Rubik's Cube. These first cubes were heavier than the widely-released ones[3].

Great store, glad that it's still around.

People have had virtual life sentences for parking tickets.

Can't pay them on time? Your car's impounded and you're jailed for sixty days. Oh, you lost your job because you're in jail? You were evicted from your home? Too bad.

Then your life is over.
Maybe you should first pull your nickname out of your behinds before making the typical Bitcoin fanatic statement: "you don't get it", "read the whitepaper", "do this", "do that". You forget this is not /r/Bitcoin or a public forum - this is a hangout for people who used Bitcoin years before you've heard the name. Anyway, because your thinking capacity is so limited, you shoot yourself in the foot spreading the concept "Bitcoin is so hard to grasp that nobody seems to be getting it".

There's nothing wrong with jails. Its a robust technology that's been battle tested for a decade. They provide lots of awesome features that are useful for reasons other than security. In fact, the primary reason I use jails is not for security at all. And, AFAIK there are no exploits in the wild for jails. Like any containerization or virtualization technology there are theoretical holes. I'd stake a large sum of money that we see major vulnerabilities in LXC/Docker in the next 5 years, we just haven't because they haven't been around as long.

I'd love to see a source for just about anything that blog claims because it reads like FUD and contains some factual inaccuracies like chroot not being in FreeBSD by the time jails were added. It also doesn't seem to understand what the difference between the base and the kernel is in FreeBSD. Jails are implemented similarly to LXC/Docker by having a few syscalls in the kernal for namespace isolation and the bulk of the execution happening in userspace.
Remember that the US has a thousand different sets of laws. Jaywalking is not enforced in small towns.

Everyone is thinking about the consumer retail service of Radio Shack. But there's a lot of small contractors who basically use them as an outsourced inventory. Phone techs, alarm and AV installers, three out of five times I'm going to see Radio Shack connectors and resistors in their tool kit. I imagine the reason most stores keep those parts is not for amateurs but professionals who don't want to have to wait for UPS and deal with an impatient client.

That must be a business opportunity. If a Radio Shack store near you closes, stock up on F connectors, solder, and the most common resistor sizes then call around to contractors letting them know you can supply parts on demand.
LOL. When I saw the OP headline in the list, I immediately thought, "Someone is complaining about Casey Muratori's blog again"...it seems virtually every time something of Muratori's is posted somewhere (on HN, reddit, etc) -- which is frequently, given the quality of his articles -- someone will chime in to bash the source code of his blog.
I'm a person, but I don't think you'd have much sympathy if I expressed a desire to walk down a busy street swinging a pickaxe around my head, notwithstanding the fact that it's great exercise and I enjoy it. Someone in a car is taking up a larger share of space and imposing larger risks on passers-by. I know vehicle owners pay an annual fee for their tags and for each gallon of gasoline they purchase, but it's arguable that their use of the road was heavily subsidized for quite a while.

It seems to me that Glass wouldn't have suffered half the backlash it got if the original release had excluded the camera. Even if everybody was just grumbling about how useless the product was without a camera, people still would have bought it, and it probably wouldn't have gotten half the bans or negative press it ended up getting.
