I don't think NoScript should have any whitelist entries by default, since the whole idea behind it is to let the user determine what to allow.

Also, CDNs are quite problematic since they are often hosting many different scripts of which you only want to allow some. A finer-grained path/subdomain matching would be ideal here - you could allow * .example.com, example.com/*, or example.com/script.js.
Sure, but I bet you could find a good number of production systems that have never before had to handle a delta as large as 1s.
While it's also about liability, there seem to be people deadly allergic to even small amounts of e.g. nuts. Those notices are shown when production machines are also shared used for other products and cleaning is never completely safe.
Hm, still not quite sure how that'd help; one still has to edit all that places, no? and in case one had "#else nothing", I don't see how that's more useful in any way. And the suggested "do something sensible by default" - if one could, one wouldn't have the ifdefs at all I suppose.
What about delivery? Without a delivery mechanism to those who need it this would be a well meaning but not very useful.

Have you tried recently? The first few versions of Unity were awful - but I tried again (Trusty, 14.4), and whoa - realized I like it better than the Mac and Gnome2 I'm still using occasionally.

It took a while to take off, and I still meet the occasional bug - but it's extremely usable right now. YMMV.

Ask HN: Who's looking for a cofounder?
I just stumbled upon an old Ask HN with the same topic from 2010 and I thought this could be useful to resurrect.

You should probably mention what you are working on, where you are located, what stage you are in, who you are looking for, what you can bring to the table and a way to contact you.
> Invest in a startup. This is better than investing in the S&P500. The expected return is higher.

Is that actually true, or is the author using some meaning of the phrase "expected return" that isn't common?

Based on this comment I suspect you didn't actually read the article, which explicitly evaluated this option...
Yes, 'used' is a euphemism for purpose-bred and then experimented on and then killed. I am not trying to sugar-coat this by mentioning the efforts made to minimize the suffering of the animals done as part of this process. It's a hard truth.

Unfortunately with basic science it's not so easy as saying: research that eventually benefits people is OK, but everything else is not worth it. To look at this particular study: they are recording from cells in the hippocampus, an area that experiences atrophy and degeneration in both schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease. There is a strong homology between rat and human biology in this area: anatomically, physiologically, and even in disease states.

If you want to say that animal experimentation is never worth it, then you have to be willing to forgo whatever future benefits to humankind might accrue from this research, and you have to be comfortable making this decision for everyone else who might benefit. Ethically, you should probably also forgo any medical treatment that was developed on the backs of animal research. (Though you will still benefit from the eradication of many diseases and herd immunity to others).

In terms of the scale and degree of suffering, and of ethics, I think there is much more clear-cut ground to be won in encouraging people not to breed and kill animals for food or sport, and in protecting wild animal habitat from ecological degradation.

I'm fascinated by this idea: " It would be possible, for example, for the state to obtain an automatic share of the income from the intellectual property it protects." Why shouldn't creators of IP pay for the protection they receive, beyond the relatively small filing fee they currently pay?
If you follow -current it's pretty easy. Upgrade from a snapshot, run sysmerge(8), and then update any packages using pkg_add -u. Just be sure PKG_PATH points to the same snapshot. The risk with following -current is that things are sometimes broken. I've only experienced it rarely, and it's usually fixed quickly, but it can happen. Also it's a sort of "don't look back" decision. The only supported way to go from -current back to -stable is to reinstall.

Following -stable and keeping up with security errata is where you run into needing to compile from source. It would be nice if that were easier.
Won what? Qt is widely used and has a big community. Qt now supports mobile devices as well and the framework development is very tidy and fast.

Besides, the whole "wasted effort because there's 2 projects that 2 similar things" is a fallacy.

As a Qt developer let me give you a big resounding no and ask you a question: Have YOU developed with Gtk in Windows?
Its not nearly as bad as you make it seem. Also you can embed objective c and native cocoa widgets in Qt apps so you cam make it as native as you want.

it certainly helps more than it hurts, but you can find the same thing without the baggage in many different charities. I've seen one too many missionaries get screwed because rumors overseas start telling congregations they aren't doing religion the right way. Usually it's just one supporting congregation and nothing comes of it, just hard times for the missionary, but I have seen one case personally where some epic rumors started and every supporting church pulled out at once and left a guy stranded overseas away from his family. The guy apparent was doing religion wrong or something. I was acquaintances with the guy and spoke with him regularly, although I never did get the low down on the whole story so maybe he deserves it for all I know.

How is being homeless not a failure on multiple levels? You can be poor by choice and happy with it, I agree. But is any sane person homeless by choice? Not traveling, hermit, not able to function in society, or many other cases. Just wanting to live somewhere and able to do work, but not having a home. To me that seems like a failure on multiple levels: country - global situation that allows people to be homeless, local - no community support or path to employment or investment into people, self - well... unless we give some income to everyone, and you can't claim benefits for not being able to work, you're expected to work for a place to live.

Unemployed is an artifact of the economy. I'd like to be successful enough to be unemployed, but rich and not homeless.
"It's a very complex situation"

Unfortunately that wasn't represented in the rest of your comment.

That people have much of a choice in what is essentially an industrial revolution is quite far fetched, so is the notion that factory work is easier than farming. I'm also not sure what American salaries has do to with my comment at all. I'm purely stating that people should have some respect for what many Chinese are going through without all or nothing BS arguments.

China is much more dynamic than people are used to in the west. The have a much wider range of offerings. If you don't demand anything you're going to get the lowest one. To the disadvantage of yourself and the people doing the job.
If one takes a very mechanical world-view, then yes, you could say that those properties are a signal of failure. Failure to plan, keep a job, save money, etc.

Being very risk-averse myself, I would constitute all of the above under normal situations to be a failing on my part. Abnormal circumstances obviously change the dynamic a bit as they're almost always unavoidable. E.g. natural disasters, war, large-scale riots, etc.

You can use gtk styling in Qt apps and it looks just like GTK. Also Ubuntu Unity is switching to Qt for unity 8. As for dependencies, there are definitely more Qt apps on linux than just KDE apps.

What axe did they grind? I've got only good things to say about systemd so perhaps I can't understand the issue?
Thankfully, it's down right now.

If you knowingly tinker with a system you're not supposed to have access to --- that is, you either VNC into a system that isn't yours and see things that a reasonable person would react to as an indication that they weren't welcome, or that a prosecutor can claim a reasonable person would react that way to --- you're violating the CFAA.

All current indications are that scanning the whole Internet for open VNC systems is, if not lawful, then at least so close to the line that nobody's going to make an issue of it.

But logging into a VNC server and poking around crosses a bright line. Arguments about the implied welcome given by lack of a login screen will probably not persuade a jury, let alone a prosecutor.

The idea of hooking open VNC servers up to a "roulette" game seems beyond stupid. Maybe someone's thought about this more carefully than I have and can explain why I'm wrong?
Flatly illegal.
Last I checked you didn't need to use the word race to be a racist. I think you're nit picking at a point that was admittedly shaky.
If I had the money, I think I'd give half to my local primary school. They could do with some books and PCs.

The other half I spend in Uganda, I'd just do random acts of kindness. Buy medicine for someone, school books for a kid. Shoes or clothed for someone else. Would be a really fun way to spend the money.

Rich people seem so clinical about their money. Get yer hands dirty, talk to some people in need.
It is a failure on many levels - systematic ones, mostly. But if you read OP's post as not singling out the failure as being personally and solely responsible for their plight, rather than as a systematic failure, then we might simply differ on reading it. Donating money to combat homelessness at a systematic level is (in my opinion) probably a good thing. I just didn't get that sentiment in what I saw, though I allow for the (frequent and possible) chance that I am wrong in my interpretation.

No different to anywhere else in the world, just that it happened more recently.
We have a psychological problem in our country and in our world. Superficially it shows up as racism, or homophobia, or disregard of the problems of the poor

So look at the title and compare it to what this so-called psychologist said. This guy is either a liar or intellectually incapable of treating anybody, much less being a professor.

For someone with a PhD to say such things, when everybody knows that there are philosophical/political differences on gay marriage and obamacare is professionally irresponsible.
Ditto. The CFAA is pretty draconian. Be careful peeps.
And the line right next to that:

Relaxed access of atomics is not UB in C++, that would be ridiculous. Clearly one of these two sentences is wrong or imprecise; I would bet it's the first one.
There's an old joke, described more fully at http://www.snopes.com/humor/jokes/moonshot.asp , that appears to have started with Johnny Carson in 1969. The short version is that a Native American recorded a message to be taken into space - "Watch out for these guys [US astronauts]; they've come to steal your land."

This link did not address a couple of important issues:

1) What resources are worth the expense? While there are ideas about platinum from asteroids or 3He from the Moon's crust, resource extraction from another planet is tremendously more expensive.

2) "..., it's probably best we ditch this planet anyways, along with everything on it." ... And what of the 7+ billion people? Leave them to die?

> In the real world, you quit jobs with peer abuse, you move away from toxic neighbors, you avoid the bad neighborhoods. It isn't toughening them up because its in no way reflective of reality to have to put up with verbal and physical harassment every day without reasonable recourse.

As long as you have the money or support to quit your job, or move, or avoid the bad neighborhoods.

Do people choose to live in bad neighborhoods? Do they choose to send their children to poorly funded schools? Do they choose to work part time, minimum wage jobs?

I agree that risk aversion, planning, and other factors are good preventative measures to avoiding homelessness. The contrary case I can think of is the child who is homeless because the parent is. I cannot rightfully view them as having failed.
Generally, most favorable terms my company gives are 30% down and balance before shipment from China. Of course everything is negotiable and if I really want to do a job then we'll accept more risk.
Yeah, once you turn off the internet search crap, Ubuntu is pretty comfortably the least terrible desktop Linux distro.

I simply don't have the time these days to configure X and everything from scratch, and Ubuntu mostly manages to take care of that for me. Then it gives you a desktop environment which looks a lot like my OS X setup, and is perfectly fine at doing basic things.
It's unfortunate that HN readers would rather run through the weeds trying to add zero to infinity, rather than try to actually make a real difference. If we could make medical research donations more efficient, for example, we could make a big difference. Say, for instance, we identified the best medical research charities, and have people donate to those.
While I appreciate the value of a cleaner or simpler codebase, I can't place as much value on that as I do on usability, unless the code is utterly unmaintainable beyond all hope of redemption. And whatever you might think of the extra complexity of the GNU code, for good or ill, it certainly isn't that.
The single greatest mathematical equation is e^i*pi = -1

No way we mess with that.
Interesting answer. You left out that Ubuntu's recent SDK has a strong relation with Qt.

https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/apps/

The "out of place" argument is one I commonly used by Mac and Linux users because they want everything to look native in their OS of choice and disregard dev time (to use a different window framework for each OS) and look in every other OS.

No one can win that argument to favor THEIR own OS look over another.

Qt apps are pretty reliable across platforms and are speedy to develop so that's what should be important instead of getting an impossible native look.
I'm just going to say this. It's a great sentiment, but unless you're in the thickets you just don't realize how hard it is. I'm trying, trying to maintain an open lab notebook with my nonprofit. It's hard to remember to add details in edgewise. Sometimes you just want to do the experiment, and you're so damn tired that when it's done, it's hard to sit down and write things down. Sometimes, the lack of tooling to do this makes it harder (ever tried to export an HPLC trace and then convert it to a format so that you can view it on a web page?).

Something like benchling - is a positive step towards better. Zero friction (which benchling doesn't have yet) reporting is an absolute must. Run a PCR? Ok, that run gets uploaded to the notebook and filed in the correct experiment. Run a gel? Ok, the gel image gets uploaded to the notebook and filed under the correct PCR run that it corresponds to... Etc etc etc.
It also shows that Erlang is 15X faster than Java (depending on what framework you compare) and that the Java Netty/JSON test has 8X more code than the Erlang Cowboy/JSON counterpart ;)

Too slow - Summly purported to do this, and Yahoo! already overpaid for them...
My point was that Atlas/Delta have had a lot of time to get their bugs found and fixed, while the F9 has had 20 launches overall. It seems reasonable to me to expect that the reliability of F9 will rise with time as more bugs are found and fixed. So if you wanted to launch something today, you would reasonably consider this record to be a reflection of current risk. But I don't think it makes sense to extrapolate and say this will remain constant in the future.

But then again, I am partial.
You could also make this argument in the other direction: it's incredibly shortsighted to lock yourself into Qt when there are some things you can do only with a native toolkit. Using native libraries on each platform gives you flexibility and intra-platform consistency at the expense of lots of extra effort. It really just comes down to whether you're willing to expend this effort or not.
> why not daemonize that

Double-fork-detach was arguably only ever a hack to get around the limitations of the traditional Unix paradigm (using inetd to handle incoming connections and invoking a standard program to hand the connection off to).
> unique cgroup for every service

This is a nice feature of systemd. I've been using s6 quite a bit (of daemontools heritage), and often want such a feature, but part of the reason I'm using s6 is so that I can use the same run scripts in darwin and Linux, and only Linux has cgroups.

I'm pretty sure OpenBSD core doesn't have any of those, and that's really what the project is caring about. Problems may happen in ports, but there's a reason why they're ports.

bsdtar's really nice. It's more a tar-flavour wrapper around libarchive, and thus has support for many formats:

Read: tar, pax, cpio, zip, xar, lha, ar, cab, mtree, rar, and ISO images.

Write: tar, pax, cpio, zip, xar, ar, ISO, mtree, and shar.

I believe it had tar compression detection significantly earlier than GNU tar too.
Be careful what you incentivize, lest you get more of it. That has the potential to turn into blatant revenue-generation, which is not necessarily beneficial.

This article was a little startle to me - I never really thought to use NoScript as a security measure for myself. I use it to make the web 'quieter': no more pop-ups, pop-acrosses, popovers, pop-from-wherevers, plus a few other obnoxious behaviours are beaten into submission as well.

Stopping javascript isn't going to stop tracking anyway - the big players still track who's loading their button images, for example.
You are of course right. The only caveat I would remind you of is that not everyone is in the US. :)
$20,000 is possibly not enough but some sort of import export business to funnel money from a rich nation to a poor nation.

You could always find someone you like and give it to them ;) http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=2569

In seriousness, GiveWell ranks charities by their effectiveness. You could give to one of their top charities: http://www.givewell.org/charities/top-charities "These are evidence-backed, thoroughly vetted, underfunded organizations."

Edit: (in reference to z3ugma's comment) further down that page is actually a charity whose mission is to aid salt iodization programmes in developing countries. I honestly had no idea this was even an issue until now.
My understanding is that it isn't even true for professional startup investors, and they have preferential access to dealflow that your $20,000 doesn't.

I have a unpopular opinion, goes against the main theme of this thread.

I find the "go the fuck home" strategy works for projects where output can be correlated with time spent. I'm in a situation where we're in new terrain, we're hitting problems that haven't been encountered before in our space. To fix them properly, I need to do a deep dive and fix the root cause, this takes time, time which seems to never exist.

Its quite insulting when someone says, "You can't get done this between 9-5, so you're incapable of doing this job."

Have you guys been in this type of a grind? I'm not sure how to deal with this right now other than fixing the core issues and moving on, which basically means working even more.
Waaay more fun to read than the with-baited-breath-and-optimism we usually get from the web-dev/devops world.
Interesting example, thanks!

There are generic tools like "unar", but it's interesting that in the BSD world tar grew those features instead. An odd counterpoint to the accusations of "bloat" often leveled at GNU.
Wait, so a domain typoed in the forums was added to the NoScript default whitelist without even being checked?

That's a possibility, but managing a separate email account just to use your product isn't a workable solution for many people. I'm sure you're aware of http://camelcamelcamel.com/camelizer ; could you do something similar?
Not that I know of. ChromeOS still uses it and though Ubuntu is phasing it out, they haven't completely gotten rid of it as a session manager yet AFAIK. They need to support it for a few more years anyway due to 14.04 LTS.
So I've never actually seen one of these agreements, but supposing your stock is in an index, is it also forbidden to go short the index and long in stocks outside your sector?

(I expect transaction costs would nuke this idea, but I'm somewhat curious how sophisticated big company employee agreements are.)
The concern here is that the purpose of a church mission is first to convert locals to Christianity, then to provide follow-on benefits like education and economic development. Donating the same amount of money to a secular organization should create more of those secondary benefits, because no effort needs to be spent on collecting followers for Christ.

However, you are right that church missions seem to have the easiest access to donations and labor, so they might be able to provide better secular education out of sheer scale.
