I'm developing an app now, where bitcoin payments are part of it. I decided to try bitpay rather than running bitciond myself (less chance to fuck up) but their API is horribly hard to use, gives inconsistent errors and the docs are awful at best.

I'm using their old version, but the errors I get are from the new version. Their library for the language I use is not yet updated. The new docs seem to be better, but I lost faith in them as a developer.

Well two things: we need some of the things in our environment that we also destroy. We need to global temperature to stay below certain levels, but I fucking love flying to nice vacation destinations. My personal interests are in conflict with what is good for humanity.

Also: we need to respect other forms of life. Just like I can't kill someone from another family, even if we are unrelated, it is immoral to kill or damage the environment of another species. I can't kill a human from another family, or other country, without being an asshole. That extends not only to other humans, but also to other forms of life.

When speaking about aggressive governments, the elephant in the room is the US, waging war everywhere with a military bigger than all other countries combined...

How can we citizens of the world figure out a way to if not stop then exterminate this brutal force that has grown out of proportion? Can we do it without human sacrifice, and in a way that does not harm the american people who the US military is "protecting"?

Ninja edit: No I'm not saying a good solution is for the worlds government to wage world war against the US. Just trying to say that there is little difference between Ukraine and Iraq/Afghanistan/Pakistan, except that the war in Ukraine is a piss in the ocean in comparison to the sins of the American government and military.

I don't mean to come off as an ass, but just curious.

Why do you want to develop ruby (or anything else) with windows? Especially since most servers (where ruby is popular) are linux servers? All colleagues I've had running windows always seem to have to jump so many hoops that the *nix crows don't.

Also, no unix shell and package managers, how do you deal with it?

Burrrrn!

Why don't the Americans do it on state or city level then?

As a man who left school not that many years ago, I'm amazed how well I feel this describes the situation back then. I remember being frustrated by grades being all about who (I then thought) manipulated the teacher best by acting like a "Good Boy/Girl". By being neat and by being timely rather than the one who knew what the grade requirements asked of the students.

I wonder, is the article true or does it just appeal to my feelings?

It doesn't link, but to nit-pick (and show Teacher I did my homework!) it does reference studies. But you do have a point, I agree.

A lisp machine!

An iPhone 5 with better hardware is not too shabby, and finally NFC is nice. I'm planning to get an Android after my iPhone 5 is totally wrecked (any week soon) and start developing for it.

So it's a high-quality android phone for $250? That's pretty freaking cool :). Open source, yay! Even if it's a NSA phone.

Btw, this is written by Mike Hearn, who'd I'd like to nominate to hacker of the year. Super cool guy, mad respect to him :)

Is it possible for mods to make title less linkbaity? Even if the target's title is.

What does wordpress have that something like Ghost doesn't? Working with wordpress is a real pain, it's code is not what I would want to dig into a friday afternoon. Why is wordpress still popular?

So, in what way is it better than vim inside tmux? NERDtree and CTRL-p and you're good to go.

Hmm why don't you consider studying in Europe? I know the southern countries treat people immigrating from Africa like shit, so fuck them. But in the Netherlands, Germany and Sweden you can study computer science in English.

Also, the governments give are going to give you a really good price for your your education, unlike our friends in the US who pay crazy amounts for their degrees. That could be something to look into.

In Sweden I'd say Chalmers University (in Gothenburg) or KTH (in Stockholm) are the top schools. They both provide education in English, classes are mixed with foreigners and Swedes. In Berlin, Germany you should check out TU (Technisher Universität (or however it's spelled)), I recall they do English-speaking courses in Computer Science (they call it "Informatik" there). Keep in mind though that all of these places are f%$#ing cold, haha!

Best of luck buddy! In a few years looking back at this you're gonna be fine, and have a great degree and interesting life!

I'm trying to reproduce this on a macbook. I'm a developer, not a networks guy so please excuse me for not knowing the basics!

After doing `sudo tcpdump -In -i en0 -s 2048 -A dst i.instagram.com`, and using every instagram feature from my iPhone, nothing happens in the terminal.

```

tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on en0, link-type IEEE802_11_RADIO (802.11 plus radiotap header), capture size 2048 bytes

```

I try running with -v and -vv, but no difference (except it doesn't suggest running in verbose more).

After hitting C-c to stop the program, it outputs

```

^C

0 packets captured

29816 packets received by filter

0 packets dropped by kernel

```

So there's a lot of things being captured, but the filter does not catch my Instagram activity. I'm logged in there, refreshing, getting images, getting followers/following, etc.

EDIT: oh shit, HN doenst do markdown. That sucks.

On the other hand, when everyone does it by hand every time, it's easy to make mistakes and bad design decisions.

When it's a distribution, we can all contribute bug fixes.

Security vs obscurity is bad!

So there was a press conference about this. It was streamed somewhere.

If anyone has a torrent of the video I'd love it's url! Thank you very much

I was a ruby developer, who then had to do a lot of C and am writing CL/Clojure for fun.

Then I went back to a ruby project, and realised - the language I used to adore kinda sucks, because it's _so_ un-functional.

I'm a Javascript/Python/Ruby professional, and have made a few really swell SPA's in JS.

But my dream is to be a really good Clojure(Script) lisp programmer. I'm not so good at any lisp, but have went thru a couple of books, try to do every tutorial and to play in the LightTable instarepl and implement things that I can easily do in JS.

How can I, who am far from a lisp pro, get a job in a lisp/clojure shop? I think by doing something 8h/day in a team is the best way to learn, but of course no one will hire you if you slow down the rest (at least in the beginning).

Woow! This is really fucking cool! Thanks for sharing.

I was web JS dev for a long time, didn't really touch any other platforms for 2 years (except for small scripts and automation, nothing big).

Then I started doing CocoaTouch for a project with a friend. I can't view the source, and the tools suck ass (xcode, obj-c) but compared to Javascript and especially the frameworks for web apps, it's wonderful!

The JS frameworks, all of them, make things a hundred times more complicated than they need to be. If web programming was like CocoaTouch, but with a dynamic language, it would be great. /rant

This is bull shit, isn't it? These companies business models are based on surveillance, but people don't understand that. What people do understand is when gov's do surveil them.

But it's the same. I say encrypt your communications, and pull the rug under both Zuck and the NSA.

Why not go? Or make Dalvik handle Clojure fine?

Interested in your company, so please write me a line about who you are :).

If you have a tax %, the wealthiest will automatically give more money but it will still be proportionally.

Also, not having too rich and too poor people is a goal in itself - to move wealth from rich to poor creates a society where everyone is equal. Equal people are more happy and peaceful, and that is what it's all about.
