One of the first things that "broke my brain" when starting with Angular.js (during its wild 0.x days) was inferred injection — I know Javascript. I know how arguments are passed. What the fuck is happening here?? At that time d

It also hinges heavily on how you're tracking these A/B results. There's less certainty and value in simply saying "Group A ended up booking more" — if metrics indicated a statistically higher percent of users comp

Apple could mitigate most of the security concerns listed in this thread by listing the trusted devices which you're encrypting against. This solves the "extra encryption key" angle. You'd still have to trust your recipi

By GitHub (and Git's) own structure, everything is forkable. It would be very unlike them to prevent forking on one of thier own "special" repos, but in the worst case you could still: git clone git@github.com:atom.io&#x2

Absolutely, and in this case a laptop has a significantly different use-case from a phone. Noone's doing serious development/creative on their phone or tablet, and no doubt PCs will exist for these functions for decades more. But

Resist if you like, but what are your options if not iPhone, Android, or Windows Phone? It's clear these distinct developer teams have decided direct access to removable storage is some kind of risk (whether to security, usability, or

Overzealous drug laws make normally-regular people be defined as criminals. As such, they are forced into contact with other criminals. Some of these criminals break moral laws as well as legal ones.

I think a more important message is being buried here. Yes, the work itself should be rewarding, but there are so many programmers out there who bleed their heart into code, but as a profession they only work on soulless projects. There&#x2

Please get over Flappy Birds as soon as possible. The lessons to learn are: simplicity in difficulty is key (see: The Impossible Game[1]), mobile game advertising has /horrible/ ROI, and the tech world is too easy to whip itself i

The major disconnect between Google ads, Facebook ads, and likes is that Facebook likes don't mean anything. Very rarely are people begging to engage with your company — in that case, they'd already be engaged. When you ask google

I hope Nadella is adjusting strategy closer to a Google-Amazon-Microsoft hybrid; beefing up Hotmail, Office, SharePoint(?) and running them everywhere on Azure, while Windows platform fragments into Phone and Surface/Desktop.

Awesome! It can be frustrating sticking to your morals but not getting the results you feel you deserve, but (I'm hoping) it pans out to greater rewards in the end, even apart from money. Good luck and stay strong.

Sadly, Egor (who found this vulnerability) mentioned he's moving away from exclusively white-hat security since he "[tried to do] responsible disclosures but it gave me 0 profit. So now i will play with “gray” methods and see if i

I even suspect Hacker News isn't that fussed if most of its community moves elsewhere. The core community (that it was built for) will stay, and the postings will become more focussed on what the core community finds, reads, and is int

I would think it would be a lot more useful if you could charge it from your phone itself. Pebble's battery is 130 mAh[1], so (unless I'm mistaken) you could charge it using 9% of an iPhone 5s' 1560 mAh battery[2]. If the cha

Modern IE is nice to use and has reasonable support. It will cost you as much (in dev time) to support as any other browser (or specifically, rendering engine), and its market share is comparable to Firefox. The problem is old IE. fuck old

From Google's point of view, so people can "switch" without figuring out how to reinstall an OS. The upgrade path from "Windows 8 machine with Chrome OS" to "Chrome OS machine" is very attractive, especial

If Person A has known motive to kill Person B, in a "non-clean" hit Person A will immediately come under suspicion. If the hit is "clean", anything could have happened and it's a lot harder to establish it as a murd
