And god knows, good science always involves political cartoons and exclamation points. Spam.
Does putting it to sleep / closing the lid count?
I hope that this entire debate results in a new set of ethical standards for publicly-funded research. At the minimum I would support the open and free release of all unaltered data, a "Chinese wall" between researchers and activists (of whatever breed), and the requirement for all science based on "best guess" to say so in bold print, much like the language we have when investing with a prospectus. The standard of proof being used should be available in clear understandable language.

I fear that by the time the political debate ends, a lot of good research is going to become collateral damage, which would be an awful result.
Yeah, it's tough to find a balance with freemium pricing. The restrictive free account is one of the reasons we introduced the 30-day money-back guarantee. It's actually baked into the software, so if you cancel your account (or downgrade to the free plan) in the first 30 days, it automatically refunds your money.

We have considered adding one collaborator to the free plan. We've taken the stance of starting with it very restrictive and then sizing it up if necessary, because it's much harder to go the other way and take things away from users. :)

I wouldn't call ugh's response either blind or a defense. I've used almost that exactly line (here I used a trick to hide the trend) for perfectly legitimate uses — what if you're trying to analyze the fast signal?

The volume of leaked correspondence does begin to form a context, but before the heavy and severe claim of scientific misconduct is really substantiated it's going to require scientific analysis of the fault. Cherrypicked quotes appearing on a news site is often known as researcher bias and it's just as big a flaw.

No, I don't think we have been here before. In 1996 people didn't have broadband and there was no equivalent of today's Web 2.0 apps (demos don't count IMO).

But considering that Chrome OS is basically a subset of Chrome running on a real OS, I agree that there's nothing really new.
It's not at all clear to me that when Torvalds started Linux he was necessarily trying to advance world peace. His motivations seem to have been much more practical and somewhat self motivated (scratching a personal itch). If they're handing out prizes Richard Stallman might be a better candidate, since his motives were explicitly altruistic from the outset (advancing freedom for computer users).
This kind of strikes me as absurd:

A: It seems like releasing greenhouse gases has detrimental effects on the climate. We should find a way of releasing fewer greenhouse gases.

B: Nothing you say is true, and you're politicizing the debate. It will require massive government intervention to release fewer greenhouse gases!

A: Okay. But if we don't reduce greenhouse gases, these things are going to happen.

B: You're politicizing the debate!

Yep. I've been using dvorak for years and when the rsi hit, I tried 4 different ergonomic keyboards and experimented with tons of different approaches. The biggest contributor to my particular case seems to be independent finger movement. So switching to hunt and peck allows my entire hand to stay fairly relaxed and minimizes wrist tension. (I can also wear wrist braces this way.) That, combined with a keyboard with extremely light action, has been what's worked best for me thus far. Occasionally I break out one of my several Kenisis or other ergonomic keyboards and try going back to dvorak, but it always gets worse.

EDIT: I can't seem to reply to your question, so I'll add here. RSI can sneak up on you before you notice symptoms, and the symptoms can take years to appear. So I'd say, if I had done something different it'd be doing a daily stretching & strengthening routine even before I thought it necessary.

As a counterpoint, not every Ruby app is a Rails app. I've been using JRuby more and more lately for various text analysis projects. Calculating the mutual information over a huge set of tokens, for instance, was roughly 10 times faster in JRuby... And of course didn't suffer from the Unicode issues I was running into with Ruby (1.8). Regardless of whether or not it's suitable for Rails, it's absolutely suitable for other projects.
They all do, but things will look better in Firefox and Safari.

We do something similar, but vastly more evil, with Compass on our product. We need the visual experience to be solid on IE (our customer base is enterprise). So... we generate and cache PNG's with ImageMagick using hooks we wrote into Sass. For instance, we can specify arbitrary gradients using Sass color variables and direction/distance arguments, auto-gen rounded corners, and in some cases render text using non-browser-safe type.

I wouldn't recommend the approach (I think it's going to be incredibly clunky in a year or so, and that things like Fancy Buttons that use Compass to hide the complexity of optimal degrading CSS are the way to go), but it is an example of how flexible Compass and Sass are: you can abuse them terribly, and they'll stay loyal.

The only case I can make for not using them is that in PHP the MySQL prepared statements API is very cumbersome. At my job, we use an ORM PHP abstraction model that could really benefit from prepared statements, but because of the difficulty of getting a simple associate array of data out of an executed prepared statement, it is nearly impossible for us to convert it to use them. But yes, the benefits clearly outweigh the drawbacks: you get security and performance.
That sounds like scientists talking shop in the understanding they are trying to extract structure out of intrinsically messy data, from a complex and imperfectly modeled real world that contains causes unaccounted-for, while not leaking the mess to a public and skeptics who really don't understand how the real world looks and who expect clean sharp lines in the visible work product.
That's an impractical statement.
Well, it's a laptop, so I suspend it when I go somewhere (which is quite often, as it's what I am supposed to do with it). But when I am home for a longer period of time and go out without a need to have the computer with me, then it can run uninterrupted for months. So, no, I don't power it off, only suspend, if it has to travel in a backpack.

When I worked on a sizable JRuby/Rails codebase, our team had a hybrid approach: ephemeral jobs (rake tasks, migrations, autospec) all ran under MRI, while long-lived processes (app servers, CI/acceptance test runs) ran in JRuby. That gave us the best of both worlds: quick startup in cases where total runtime was an issue, and better throughput (and more predictable memory usage) for CPU-heavy workloads.

In my experience, MRI/REE fits into smaller RAM footprints only in cases where either you start up and shut down runtimes relatively regularly, or you can monitor for runaway leaks and terminate bloated processes.

I do agree that switching to a different runtime just to get access to a few libraries is probably the wrong approach, however. The big wins in using JRuby are, to me, twofold: a nice performance boost for general application code, and the availability of robust, battle-tested application servers. Mongrel, Unicorn, and Passenger are fine if you're willing to live on the edge, but if you have a more conservative ops team, or simply don't want to both with rolling your own monitoring and deployment stack, being able to drop a Rails app onto Tomcat or Glassfish as a single WAR file is pretty damn nice.

I'm in the same boat. There are tons of design companies and some independents that can be found through a google search, but for me, I find it hard to know who to choose and almost noone publishes pricing.

I have some funds to pay, just not a huge wallet. So I prefer to find an independent designer/HTML/CSS guru so all my payment goes into one pocket. My contact is in my profile.
Well, I can certainly appreciate a separate security based course. However, my point that preventing SQL injections should not be viewed as security. Just like you shouldn't write code that takes as input other code and blindly runs it on the server; or serves any file on the server without any sort of checks. Using prepared statements, or if you can't, at least manually escaping user data, is part of writing functional code. A program that does not do this is not functional and as much as writing down an example that shows how to do it breeds bad code.

Will you make money? draw up a sharing agreement that gives the designer a small royalty or a bonus reflective of the time s/he has to wait. Or offer to trade some coding services.
Spend a few hundred and get it done.

Why should it matter that you are unfunded, it's your gain, it should be your risk right ?

'Much' is of course variable, what you could do is launch as it is, then when you make a bit of $ spend it on a better design.

Creationists and holocaust deniers, incidentally, usually hide behind "asking to see more data and more transparency". You're mischaracterizing. Skepticism is fine on its own, but the thing about the skeptic's game is that you can keep playing it forever no matter how much evidence is on the other side. At some point it's not about skepticism anymore, it's about obstruction and obfuscation.

Here's my concession to the skeptic: let's pin a 25% credence on the risk of severe changes in sea level. I'm willing to give the skeptic 3/4 odds that I'm wrong. Now let's look at a map of human population distribution by elevation and calculate the cost of displacing all of those people. And let's look at the other long term costs and benefits from leaving our energy usage unchanged, and build our policies from there.

Incidentally, while it's marginally true that climate researchers have certain incentives and motivations of their own, it's also very, very true that there is a lot of established money which has a lot to lose if we do anything about the climate.

Typing fast doesn't make you a good programmer though good programmers usually type fast. The only conclusion you can draw is that if you see someone typing horribly slow you can probably treat it as a warning sign.

Analogously, the same could be said about a lot of things.

I don't know how much of it is about good programmers wanting to communicate their thoughts faster to the computer and how much is it about good programmers having written so ridiculously lot of code since their childhood that they just kind of get bizarre typing speed as a side-effect, but it's definitely both.
Well, not really. I have invested a significant portion of time into building the site and am looking for someone with an eye for good design to spend about 30 minutes worth of work tightening up my color schemes. I'm not asking for the Sistine Chapel, I'm asking for a paint-by-numbers.

I think uploading is the threshold for illegality, but I still think downloading should be a safe zone. It's up to the gov't to make sure no one breaks the law by providing copyrighted stuff for free.

Morally speaking if I know something shouldn't be freely available online, it would be wrong to download it, almost like how it would be wrong to buy something you know is stolen.
There's an optimum amount to fund such research if you are viewing the issue dispassionately, and an amount that you will fund it if everybody is afraid the world will end next year if we don't. To me, it is obvious that the first amount is better. This is one of the few issues where hackers defend intellectual dishonesty as something that makes us do "what we should be doing anyway". I'm sorry, I don't buy it.

Linus deserves this way more than Obama does. Why? Because you don't give prizes for expected good work. You give a prize looking back on what's been accomplished.

I think this nomination will help inspire the next generation of young hackers, and I say go for it.
Yep. And I don't think the work I need done really requires a huge design firm or even a dedicated designer. I really ONLY need a few color options and some advice on styling. I can do the CSS myself, I just lack the eye for the creative work in the first place.
I just had a app rejected for this same reason.

Although the API was never called, the static analyzer throws a flag when you override any private framework. Joe was doing this for some debugging purposes and accidentally let it through for some release builds a while ago. Just updating to the newest Three20 should fix it.
30 minutes of a strong designer is ~$50-60. But they're not going to sell you $50-60 of time, because consulting time doesn't divide up into neat little 30 minute increments, and because clients inevitably mean "30 minutes plus several hours over the next three months supporting and answering questions about the work", and your promises to the contrary don't overcome their actual experience.

You want 99designs, where you can put a simple dollar amount on a simple project and get bids for it. The work is middling-low-quality, but better than what you'd do on your own.

Also, what does your investment in the site have to do with anything? Tough love here: nobody cares.
You're asking people to simultaneously:

-believe that continued emissions of greenhouse gases will cause rising sea levels, displacing hundreds of millions of people, as well as causing less predictable consequences we will be ill-prepared to respond to, but also

-not want to actually do anything to prevent it.

It's a self-contradictory argument. You're better off just convincing people that part 1 isn't true.
This article seems to stem from the ridiculous premise that the open source question is whether a software company should take their core product and simply open source it. It's no wonder a lot of software companies balk at the thought. It's ridiculous.

The issue of open source is about value, not cash. With open source a lot more value is created because more users and more developers means better quality. This extra value can translate into a winning scenario for a software company open sourcing some of their components, because they get more robust software essentially for free.

The trick is to release components that have broad use cases, ie. the stuff that's ripe for commodification anyway. Thinking that stuff gives you a competitive advantage is fool-hardy because by definition, there are always going to be more developers outside your organization than in it, so anything that's broadly useful is going to be done better by open source than your company will be able to manage, so why not proactively take control of the situation and build your own open source community.

But there's no value in releasing your own secret sauce. Companies like Google and Facebook inherently understand that which is why they release things like GWT and Cassandra without a second thought. Yes it's serious software that contributes to their competitive advantage, but it doesn't give anybody a jump start on eating their lunch.
I had a 'rush' job a little while ago and simply placed a call here on HN for a designer looking to make some money, it worked wonderful.
This is getting ridiculous. The Objective-C runtime allows dynamic method calls, using performSelector: which takes a selector name, which can be constructed from any random string. This basically means any static analysis tool can be trivially fooled. Apple might as well start rejecting all apps which use any "features" of their runtime.

Who cares whether a method was overridden or called or whatever -- if it's in the runtime it can be invoked.
There is certainly a correlation between a competitive environment such as that in SV and elevated work ethic, but is this really something that is so unique, geographically speaking? Why does the author and philip Letts (see the comments on site) seem to think that such a condition is impossible to replicate elsewhere?
I think his point was simply that writing such CSS is hardly complicated. I like this abstraction and think it will be pretty handy for Compass users (of which I plan to become one), but this mixin basically reduces ~8 lines of CSS to two.
I usually use a Kinesis Keyboard (http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/images/kb_adv-blk720x471.jpg) and a (rather customized) Emacs when I'm programming. I spend 90% of my programming time in front of my terminal - so it makes sense for me to optimize for that case instead of the general case.

When I program on a different keyboard/editor I am much slower than normal. I remember one interview I kept trying to use the Emacs kill ring (C-k) in Eclipse. (I just did a typing test and apparently I do hit about 60WPM on my laptop keyboard - but that's about half my real speed ...).

What does it look like in IE6? Just curious, if anyone has a screenshot.
If I had been less snarky I might have communicated my question better, which is, what's the CSS pattern that's more complicated? It'd be a good candidate for a Compass plugin.
