yes but an emplyer can still find that information. it still exists. the record is either public information or not. there's no middle ground. a record being "public but must be made really difficult to find" is completely illogical. and a scene from hitchikers guide to the galaxy

Python is easier to type but its harder to read. Ides that help you code faster are a better investment of time than a language that's easier to write in notepad. My ide does brackets and indention for me. I never think about them. They're just there for my reading pleasure. I like these things its easier to follow the code when reading.

For a security project I find their lack of security shocking.

Privacy is not a goal of Google chrome.

Is this bassicaly just adblock with just the anti tracking list enabled?

What's the point of rules if you don't follow them? So what if some one feels "insanely" exagerates it. Its the journalists opinion that it is insanely easy. That should be the title. I don't care if an hn moderator feels it is insanely easy or just easy to hack a hospital.

IF he has an opinion on the difficulty to hack topic there is a comment section. The op is not a comment section for mods

There's a reason it's called "the web"

I think you're giving him too much credit. The input was not sanitized. Now its no one programmers fault. It was a long living bug many had a chance to see it and correct it for a long time. It was rooted in the same carelessness as exec(GET)

No the third option is neither. Css vs js vs neither. Your web page is faster if you don't use animations. Most efficient way to add web page fluff is a non sequitur

the concept of "signing in" is not unique to a web page though, you also do it at a hotel. you also do it if you have dinner reservations. you also do it if you pick up a package at the post office. You also might do it when you show up for work to be put on the clock.

sign in, check in, clock in, log in. its all referring to a social process that is unique to that engagement between those two parties. What is performed can be widely different, so it makes sense to go to these sort of common words.

i always pressumed the source of the phrase was due to being "logged" by the software. eg a user is "logging on" because he is literally going on the log. If you review the server logs youd see the user on (or in) the log.

the same kind of verbage is used in all similiar scenarios. you check in at a hotel for instance.. Check, sign, log, etc etc are all really just various words that roughly mean the same thing. Log just happens to be whats popular on the web.

what about the third option? neither.

less is more when it comes to the web. it really is.

I agree it would be copyright infringement. But its not malicious. Just a good concept that doesn't fit in to the current legal climate.

For comparison. I read that tech crunch article via hacker news... on an app called flipboard. I wouldn't have read it without hn or flipboard to "deliver" it to me. The paper delivery system is only minimally different.

Content creators. Please join 2014. Learn how content is consumed. change your business plan accordingly. Trying to hold on to pre internet mentality isnt going to work forever.

Opera next is not meant to be customizable like opera 12 was. Now their focus is on streamining interface activities. Removing bookmark graveyards etc etc.

Opera's recent ui change atleast had a purpose.. they were trying to innovate and bring forth the browser features that their stars determined people use most.

Firefox here. As far as I can tell is just saying "ok we decided to shuffle the buttons around again"

Haven't been using firefox since they switched their patch number schema. But I still feel a little sad seeing them seal their own fate.

Image name should be describing the image any way. That's just good seo.

I'm sure he quickly loss viewership as a result too.

Side side note. This same carelessness is what caused the heart bleed bug.

Myers briggs, this dcis thing, astrology, meh. All gobly gook. People dont fit in to easy clearly definable categories. People dont make decisions based off of clearly definable categories (even if they did exist, they're not relevant). So its all silly to even talk about.

I get redirected with. "Your experience on this site will be enhanced by allowing cookies"

I need cookies to read a blog post? Don't think so. Probably not worth the read

I think their counting on gym membership style thing. Though even if people drink a lot of coffee.. it still is just coffee.

Any time stats are used as "evidence" then you know its bs. You can just keep picking variables until you got a chart you want.

Devshed. But as soon as the owners realized that was happening they decided to kill off the community with in forum blackberry ads. Every one dispersed within a year including me.

Over all I think Its bad. Eventually the fact that the goals of yc aren't aligned with hn will be revealed. Then every one will disperse.

This is the age of Google. And in top of that all oop languages are basically based off eachothor. On top of that intellisense. I don't see what's so hard.

What about when people make charts where the x and y axises are unrelated or stupid? If you plot oxygen consumption and death you'd find that almost all people who died last year consumed oxygen.

That guy is incredibly racist.

If they don't have proof of the debt. Then what is triggering them to collect? How do you collect money that you don't even know is owed to you.

Those aren't the only "dangerous" kinds of mistakes a programmer can make though

I feel like every one is using heartbleed to pitch their products.

I google for exceptions and stack traces all the time. This person must be doing it wrong.
