Option 4. Remote work. That would solve for packed offices, packed parking lots, overpriced real estate, long commutes, and more.

This is from one of my college professors, nice to see it make it on HN, and it looks like there's a bit more material since I used it in class. I found it helpful in explaining basic concepts (more-so than the bland textbook that I had to pay for).

I believe window.requestAnimationFrame is preferred over setInterval, and doesn't get limited as such.

Just about anything would be better than 100% root access and "employed measures to make sure that we never have unattended access to your servers", and there's no reason you can't offer two solutions.

"We require that you deploy our public key to your root account’s authorized_keys file so that we can provision users on your behalf."

That feels like a big requirement. What is the gain of using your UI/service over using puppet in-house and creating your own UI?

Funny, I see "Leaving Twitter (nathanmarz.com)". That's pretty descriptive.

I think it would be beneficial for Chrome (Android as well) to allow for an app to have a dynamic set of permissions.

Instead of requiring all web access just so an app can perform an action on any page (when you decide for it to) - what if a specific user action could grant temporary/permanent access to a domain? E.g. Clicking an icon if the app is in the toolbar, or selecting a certain action from a menu.

Chrome has a way to prompt for temporary permissions - but this brings up an alert box, and that is never ideal, it would be nice if the user interaction could be taken for permission.

edit: apparently its in beta (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5383011)

Rosetta Code is a great resource (http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Rosetta_Code). Examples from many languages are provided per a given topic (e.g. http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Sieve_of_Eratosthenes)

Yeah, that was some time ago, and I've had comments since then so its a little odd.

Thanks for the help.

Its a no brainer for companies that are distributed anyways. I work at a bigCo, spread across the country. Many of the people that I work/interact with daily are in different timezones. Suddenly driving to the office isn't a big deal. Doesn't hurt that I have a horrible commute. Have been working here for a little over a year, and have went from 1 work from home day a week to 3 (although in practice it often ends up 4). As someone fresh out of college, it was an unexpected surprise, and will unfortunately tarnish my opinion of any future job prospects, as it's something I've grown quite fond of.

If its just a matter of styling, then there is a movement to make styling these sort of components as accessible as anything else on the web. Its still in spec, but you should take a look at the Shadow DOM.

Not the most familiar with it, but I believe the gist of it is to allow developers to create self-contained widgets (or at least part of its usefulness). With it, you'll also be able to access/manipulate browser elements (they'll be presented with a Shadow DOM interface just like a custom widget).

Think styling an HTML5 Video/Audio Player. Each browser may have their own interface, but they'll be built using components, and you'll have access to them using CSS/Javascript in your web page. With the Shadow DOM, you should be able to manipulate said datepicker.

As a feature, I think it has a lot of merit. Advertisers will love it, as it actually improves on TV ads (which you can fast forward through easily).

If you're already using some kind of ad-block, there's nothing stopping you/your ad block from disabling the visibility API on select pages (youtube et. al). It's a Javascript API, and that means you'll be able to alter its functionality fairly easily (bookmarklet, plugin, addon, etc).

I still have the CR-48 google shipped out for beta testers a few years back. Its uprising what it can do, considering the low-end hardware its composed of.

For web browsing it is great. And if you do a lot of work from ssh, you'll be fine. With the added RAM and beefed specs, this thing may even be OK at playing video.

once you start typing wiki, and the autocomplete comes up, you can press tab, and it will search using the wiki search. you're able to add custom search engines (as pointed out by other users), but chrome also picks up on many of these itself

I didn't even notice the colored numbers until I read the comments. For myself, the colors are easy enough to distinguish (as separate colors), as the red looks brighter than the green. If I didn't already know the colors were red and green, I think I'd be able to pick out the one that is clearly red (As there is a shade of red for sure in the title bar), but I do not believe I'd be able to say with certainty that the green is green (and not another shade of red).

Very interesting project. I notice the site itself is written in Elm; it would be great if we could see the source code for the site, any chance of adding some of it to the examples section?
