16 Ways to Lose Weight Fast
Some people prefer to have their hosting taken care of, that don't care to worry about all the sysadmin stuff, and will pay a premium for it. Others prefer to be in control of their own stuff without having to worry about some "cloud" provider.

No offense, but this seems to be the worst of both worlds:

I still have to be aware of 0-day exploits and keep my libraries patched/up-to-date, but I also have to hope that my "cloud" provider does the same (as well as not get overwhelmed if traffic spikes in the middle of the day). I guess I don't understand what problem this solves other than providing a recurring revenue mechanism for you without the benefit of relieving myself from the responsibility of server upkeep.
What you imply is besides the point. It's what the finding implies. Interpreting that as "physical reality doesn't exist" is far fetched.
This is due to hard feelings from when the Navy abandoned the Marines at Guadalcanal. Also tradition and territory is so important in the military. They aren't really capable of making some monumental change like doing away with Marine aviation.
On iOS, all 3rd-party browsers (and even the upcoming Firefox for iOS) are using the rendering engine of Safari. The complaint is not about Safari the browser but more about its rendering engine.
Roger Federer is still playing and he has a single handed backhand and is considered by many as the greatest ever to play the game.

Having said that, I agree with your sentiment. It was a great era to watch tennis. Legends like Becker, Edberg & Lendl were fading and newer upstarts like Sampras, Courier, Agassi were coming up

This was disappointing. I was hoping for more insight, more detail, something more personal. The nutrition bit and the detail about needing to talk to someone after losing his coach were the strongest points but for an article at the top of hacker news that has nothing to do with programming or startups this felt like a sentimental nod to someone a lot of us grew up watching on television. Rather than an article that teaches me something or gives me an important idea to think about.
AFAIK, the single-handed backhander can be hit with more power than the double-hander.

However, the single-hander is tougher to execute when under time-pressure compared to the double-handed backhand (given that you should hit the ball further out in front on the single-handed backhand, and it is possible to have a good contact later for the double-handed backhand). It is also difficult to execute well with higher balls. Given the amount of top-spin that exists in the modern game, this makes the single-hander a tough choice to stick with.

If anybody saw Stan Wawrinka hitting through Federer (my current favourite player, and arguably the GOAT) and Djokovic to claim the French Open this year, you wouldn't say that the single hander is weaker than the double-hander.

And I would suggest that Federer is the last of the great single backhanded tennis players.

* Edited to add a bit of additional info around contact points for the single- and double-handed backhands.
Not necessarily. If you use Google Apps, you pay a monthly fee and are a client, with telephone support, no ads, etc.

That is correct. The management tools and the DB are in our cloud. All you need is a server running Apache and PHP. Some of the main advantages are:
- no DB to maintain
- much less code to run and secure
- really fast responses because all the data is cached locally
- updates comes very fast, because they are mainly in the management tools which we host and seamlessly provide to you

"You had two step verification, or not?"

Upvoted you but...

A company offers a free service. "Your aunt" does know know or understand the need for "two step verification" nor do almost certainly a large percentage of people using gmail.

This idea that companies resolve themselves of all responsibility to provide reasonable customer support for a free product with such wide adoption is ridiculous. Google derives benefit from the relationship regardless of the fact that the service is free.
Kinda of related, but not the same use-case it seems activated bursts versus my passive running.

Anyway. I'm doing something similar using cron, imagesnap and some ImageMagick [0]. It takes a screenshot, a webcam-snap and puts them together every hour into an image like this: http://imgur.com/JjUK0Rb

I tried with only screenshots and only webcam at first but the context felt lost so this was the end result. Pretty fun to look back at every now and then. I've had it running for something like 4 months now.

This is a step in the right direction. The initial intent of GSM was to have a phone you could take anywhere in the world - and it would just work. Instead, companies and countries erected huge hurdles to true roaming with high voice and data costs. This will work - very similarly to how T-Mobile in the US has made data roaming "free" in a 100+ countries..
Swift News
I think there is a lot more in this than you make out. Unless you really need specific hardware access that cannot be achieved in the browser alone, creating a mobile app is an unnecessary, very complicated set of hoops, to jump through, for each platform, as well as then making a desktop app/website.

A side comment would be that you can make your webapp perform remarkably well on mobile, with things like HW accelerated transitions, local storage, etc...

1. Don't link paywall articles like that, it's really annoying.

2. Is it sad that while OpenDNS has been a handy stopgap for me while I get other options in place, my first thought is "well, there goes OpenDNS..."

I spent quite a bit of my earlier tech days as a Cisco admin, so I have grown to hate them with a fiery passion only reserved for entities that buck/subvert standards and license companies to death because they have market dominance.
The browser has been and is a document viewer, but it's also becoming a application delivery platform and has been for quite some time. App delivery can be cross platform easily if Apple steps up their game.

This is an interesting buy for Cisco. The corporate/small business tier of OpenDNS looks like a good fit with some of their products.

But do they have any other freemium services like the personal/family tiers of OpenDNS? I can't think of any.
...you associate with people who are similarly successful.

This argument is nearly uncounterable (that's not a good thing): is anyone going to respond "no I hang out with dumbass bible-thumpers all the time"?

Since we're comparing anecdotes, some homeschoolers I know might comprise another "mode": those whose local public schools are so horrible and dangerous that they cannot subject their children, whom they love, to such an environment.

They are excellent! I had a feature request twice, it was implemented on their beta server within days. Their (standard-conforming) IMAP and Webmail is really fast (they cache recent stuff on SSDs). They have apps now for Android and iOS (basically wrappers around the web app with notification support, but they work well enough). They recently added CalDAV and CardDAV support.

On top of all of that, they actively contribute to open source projects such as Cyrus.
BS. There's no "reasonably strong" Net Neutrality, just like there isn't "a little bit pregnant".

This is not net neutrality, this is a sham. It's full of deliberate vagaries and loopholes, and is specifically designed to kill the real net neutrality as it exists in my country, the Netherlands.

The new telecom law is specifically anti-Net Neutrality, designed to stop any more member states from adopting it, and overrule those that already have.

The Netherlands will vote against (government already announced that), but it won't matter. We'll be overruled. Once again we'll lose yet another bit of freedom to the corrupt EU.

Only in the sense that I'm the "product" of broadcast television, terrestrial radio, and my local free alt-weekly.

Calling someone a "product" is a great way to make a flippant jab at a company but as far as a product is something a company produces, it's just not the case.

Google, like these other companies, produces useful (to many at least) services. The way they make money on this is by selling ad space or access to my eyeballs and earholes. So to claim that users are simply "product" is misleading at best. Their "product" for me is webmail, search, navigation, and file hosting. Their "product" for other companies is space where they can reach potential customers.

So in this sense, like countless other media and information companies, access is one of their products and information services make up their other products.

How to Connect Android Studio with Real Devices on the Cloud
awesome and scary at the same time. awescary.
If I understood it correctly this should work for nodejs servers as well, for example when they create random ids for users or urls.
Heh, I'd actually love to read syntax highlighted English :) To each their own.
Exactly.

Apple adds features based on what users seem to need, not what programmers want (Google) or programmers want to work on (Mozilla).

It should also be noted that Safari's accessibility support is head and shoulders above anything (including IE with dedicated third-party extensions -- our blind accessibility guy who has access to every accessible technology under the sun simply uses Apple devices at home).

Wake me up when IE is open source, Google gives flying f* about accessibility, and Firefox is better than a distant second.

Stan Wawrinka is also a single backhand player who just won the French Open, denying Novak Djokovic in the process. There aren't many of them left, but there are a few prominent examples.
Firefox renders pages terribly and is the real dud here.

> I'd even say that if I picked 100 people I know, less then 20% know what a VPN is.

I think you significantly underestimate VPN usage. Many jobs, including large public service employers, require connection to a VPN.
Yes. I had to fax them something (I forget what) to prove it was my email address. It took about a week to get it sorted.

I'd echo others though - Google is awful at support. They're awful at communication. They decide to shut down products at the drop of a hat without telling people. Avoid Google if you can.

Yes the F-22 is used solely as an Air-Defense fighter.

While it's true that fighters can't cross the ocean, Russia doesn't need to cross any ocean to get to the western seaboard.
Open a map, look at Russia, then look how far Alaska is, the distance between the landmasses is less than 100KM apart in some areas, they can reach Alaska and Washington, and with air refueling most of the eastern sea board.

The F-22 is currently deployed 4 AFB's, Langley(Virginia, basically covering DC) , Elmendorf(Alaska), Hickam(Hawaii) and Holloman(New Mexico).

They move some of them some times to allied bases mainly in Japan and the Gulf to show some muscle to reassure their local allies.

But for all intents and purposes the US don't have any deployment plans for the F-22 in an active war zone as an offensive fighter.
The US Air force for the most part is not used for offensive roles it hasn't been done so for a long long time basically pretty much since it was split from the Army int the 1st place.

It did play a small role in Korea and in the early days of the Vietnam war because the navy back then wasn't really catching up with the AF and getting into the jet age properly.

With the exception of some hey look we found a use for 2bln dollar air planes the US Airforce hasn't done much for the past 20-30 years. They only run support missions since the navy doesn't run it's own tankers and well NKAWTG...

The brunt of air missions conducted by US armed forces are done for the navy, USAF as stated only does support missions whether it's running tankers or CAS with it's A-10's, once in a while they'll take their B2 or B-52's for a spin :)

As a user, I love Safari. The hand off between my macbook and iphone is amazing, it feels smoother than other browsers.

As a developer, I would say they are just doing a few things differently. I think the web API and DOM/css should have a standard set that every browser has to implement in the same way. It's actually way way better than it used to be. However, I'm fine with additional api features as targeting browsers is not not difficult and may open up some cool features. Like perhaps native notifications API on IOS Safari, that would be sweet!

For the base Web API though, Safari has deviated on a few small things, but it's not really to the point where IE6 was.

Also, people will upgrade Safari. Unlike IE6, where IT shops would not upgrade because of Active X applications, Safari will at least be upgraded. So I think it's unfair to compare it to the old IE.

P.S., The new Windows Edge browser in Windows 10 is pretty amazing, it feels like Chrome. Very fast.
And if you are not familiar with the Mozilla Servo project, it's worth checking out. It still has a long way to go, but down the line could be very interesting.

I love this! Now all we need is some higher level DRAW operations (draw a line from here to there, draw a piece of rendered text here) and we can glue PixQL and ChartSQL together to implement SQL query result visualization to bitmaps completely in SQL (without going through SVG).

PS: Under which license is the PixSQL code available?
Evidence is anecdotal and based on browser compatibility bugs reported to me on web apps I develop. Chrome and Safari are best in class in this regard.

Firefox has gross UI elements that remind me of the 90s.
As stated in the article, often Safari's implementation just sucks.
Updating a self-hosted CMS sometimes is a scary thing and many people don't update or update very late. We all know how bad this can be. With Bear CMS your management tools (we don't call them backend because we offer live editing) are always up-to-date because they run on our servers. You get full control of your website (write custom PHP code for example) but don't worry about securing and maintaining your DB and administrator tools.
Totally agree with you there. I try to have a few levels of testing:

- Unit - everything is mocked but the object under test
- Integration - common flows are worked through in code (eg. showing populated cells from a fixture JSON file)
- Feature - tapping through the app with the server mocked out (via recorded server responses)
- Smoke - spinning up a dev server with known data and hitting a few endpoints by tapping around the app (to ensure the "wires" or working like API keys, headers, routes, etc.)

The second two are where I see UI Testing helping the most. My comment was mostly related to the level of testing I've identified as "Smoke".
Well, so much for everyone panicking over strong AI taking over their jobs and writing bug-free software.

Not that it isn't impressive, but there's been all sorts of academic projects throughout the years that require lots of manual intervention to work their outwardly powerful techniques, and many of them never even seeing the light of a public release.
Maybe on OSX, yes. On Windows on my PC, basically every browser beats Safari on my retina MBP if it comes to speed.
Keep in mind that the headline number (1 trillion dollars) includes the cost to service 2000 F-35 over 50 years. The amount spent on R&D and building it is in the (large, but not as eye-watering) 300 billion dollar range.

I had one in London run a red, just missed me. I said woah and kind of swung out to protect myself/hit him as you do. He took offence and started hunting me down the streets of London and then wanted to fight.

If I wasn't so hungover and with a heavy full backpack with laptops in it I might have. But I just walked away whilst he was yelling insults.

He had no time so had to run the red, but he had lots of time to take out his road rage on a pedestrian.
It isn't as bad as what led to IE's state that took several years of active development by Microsoft to even begin correcting. The gap between IE 6 and IE 7 was terrible, and IE 6 wasn't even that much more than IE 5, standards-wise.

Here's an overview of what's new in Safari (WebKit) as it ships with OS X El Capitan: https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/mac/releaseno...

Ask HN: Why use Docker and what are the business cases for using it?
I recently did a very basic tutorial on Docker. Afterward, when talking to the tech lead of the project I am working on, he asked me "What are the business cases for using Docker, how could it save us money, how could it make us more efficient?" I told him I would do some research to find the best answers and figured I would turn to you all here at HackerNews for some advice.

Thanks in advance!

Just so you know, I currently work on a project at my company that uses AWS, Codeship and BitBucket for development and production. AWS and Elasticbeanstalk host our application, Codeship runs tests on changes to branches in BitBucket and then pushes the code that passes on certain branches to different AWS environments for Development or Production.
Apple has stopped supporting Safari on Windows. SO yes, you are using Safari 5.0, from over 2 and a half years ago...of course every other browser will beat it.
Dave's book is a great read. I also recommend the Manning book "Elixir in Action" although I'm only half way into it.
Uber and Microsoft, Google Maps Killer
Your pricing is far too confusing. Keep it simple and charge more with clear packages - charge me for telephone support or priority email if you have to.
I don't fully agree. Apps like gmail and google maps are often preferred to their native alternatives on desktop.

I have pretty much ditched native office suites in favor of google drive as well on my desktop system.

And things like Facebook hasn't even considered native desktop implementations.

So it is safe to say that the web is a great app delivery platform (at least on the desktop) and as such, I think it is completely reasonable to improve upon it and extend this benefit to mobile.
