I agree - GitHub being the great repository it is for Open Source projects, it really wouldn't be a bad idea to have some sort of reminder to users when creating a repo to add a file detailing the license the code is being released under.
I see where you are coming from, on the other hand it is really cool how much can be done with CSS and I am sure you were pretty well amazed like the rest of us as they get more intricate and add transitions, etc...
That being said, there is also the fact that people can learn a lot about CSS by looking at the source - especially making use of pseduo-elements, etc... So I say bring on your "Vitruvian Man done in pure CSS" posts. You can always downvote them. Lot's of designers on HN want to show off their side-projects just like the developers.
Let the upvote/downvote mechanism do it's magic! If I had the time I'd recreate a scrooge for you sir.
Also, the input box inside the Drafts div, where you are supposed to enter the Post title (which is not very clear/intuitive) - the input box continues expanding overflowing the bounds of the containing div and all that. Need a max-length, word-wrapping solution there.
So would messages ala Laurent Bungion's (sp?) MVVM-Light Messaging system fall under 1,2, or 3? You send out a message from an object and then any object "registered" to receive these messages can pick them up and handle them as they wish... doing something, doing nothing.... returning a value or more likely not...
I totally agree, come on pg .... Unknown or expired link when I hit More after waiting too long... you can do better. I bet that is #1 on peoples wishlist for HN. That's actually perhaps the only problem I have with HN's design. Clean, simple, functional (except for that frequently annoying error message!!!) EDIT: spelling
Pretty cool - another very similar option that comes in the form of a jQuery plugin that I just noticed in the [new] section of HN.... https://github.com/simsalabim/sisyphus - It looks pretty slick.
I saw this in another submission last night... Is this for real? For some reason the only location information I was able to locate on their website was "the intersection between I-94 and US-127". A bit of googling leads me to Jackson, Michigan. Wikipedia @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson,_Michigan . Which apparently is also known by such charming nicknames like The Rose City, Prison City, and Jack Town. Also, why a dome instead of a more traditional structure - just for the 'lulz' ? Or is there some economical/environmental advantage to dome structures?
It sounds like a cool idea - though the pure Mac lab kinda sucks, why not Windows and Linux machines as well? Can anyone provide any more info about this place?
Or, if you stick your "stick" far enough down the toilet you will rain on someone in china. (Er, as interpreted by an American Kindergartner's perspective...)
I'm not a security expert... but I'd love to hear from one about this. I know the old rule about physical access means your computer is pretty much 0wned already, but this seems to make it phenomenally easy.... especially considering this statement:
As of version 0.2.0, it is able to unlock Windows 8 SP0, Windows 7 SP0-1, Vista SP0 and SP2, Windows XP SP2-3, Mac OS X Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion, Ubuntu 11.04, 11.10 and 12.04 x86 and x64-bit machines. Signatures are added by request. <--- Basically these are the OS's we've done so far, many more to come!
tl; dr; Can we get a security wizard's input on this tool?
I don't remember when I first started reading slashdot, if I had to wager, I'd say 1999 or so. For many years it was my goto website. The first one I perused in the morning, and the last one in the evening. Hell, it was open all day long!
Alas, I think it's past it's prime by a few years now and it is sad to see it's decline. But time does its thing. With the advent of Hacker News (and yes reddit too!), and arguablly a new generation of developers who used to read /. in high school and college have grown up a bit, and a much more relevant "News for Nerds" website has evolved. Not to mention the high-caliber of people and personalities who actively participate in the HN forums. But I wonder if HN would exist today if not for slashdot?
So hat's off to you Rob Malda aka CmdrTaco (Important note: In Soviet Russia, the hat takes off you!). You did a fine thing and planted a seed 15 years ago that not only informed, inspired, and shaped a generation of nerds but also the internet as a whole.
Hey, first off - I absolutely <3 LOVE <3 ZURB's Foundation, especially the latest 3.x releases. ALL of you all who have contributed to it, be it in it's infancy (@markdotto) or more recently/throughout it's development (@chiefinstigator), you've all been a part of creating an fscking awesome framework that I've been using since 2.0 was first released. I don't know the history between the two of you but I have a feeling neither Foundation OR Bootstrap would be the great frameworks they are today without the hard work both of you all and your colleagues have done. I understand where chiefinstigator is coming from, wanting to be recognized and having credit given where it is due, and it seems to me that Mark/markdotto has done that here and now on HN in this very thread by acknowledging that Bootstrap evolved from some of the work done by himself and others at ZURB.
(I love hearing about these connections/relationships between developers and companies!)
I think that the emergence of two of the best html5/css frameworks out there is a great thing and can only help developers and the internet as a whole. Let's not forget the spirit of Open Source - the ability to share, build upon, and innovate on the hardwork of others and in turn build better code, better products, and a better experience for both developers and end-users. Rinse. Repeat. That's a good thing.
I applaud you all for your contributions to the development community. Both of you and your respective teams are an inspiration to not just myself but I'm sure tens of thousands of other developers as well. Keep up the great work, keep releasing code, and have fun doing it.
NOW. @chiefinstigator - I'm working on a project based on Foundation 3.1.1 and am attempting to use the sub-nav navigation menu, and from what I can tell, none of the examples in the documentation work. Unless I'm supposed to be changing the 'active' class to the currently selected menu item manually... what gives? Here is the Gist - https://gist.github.com/2980502#file_f3_subnav.html i've included the navigation plugin and made the call to $(document).foundationNavigation(); as described in the documentation. What am I missing? One note, on each of the dd elements I have a method that is handling the onclick() event. Could this be the problem? (Just thought about that...)
EDIT/ADDED: Can we get a little friendly competition going on here.... ZURB and Bootstrap users/evangelists alike..... what's going on here?
Thanks for all the replies, I actually wasn't expecting so much of a response - maybe there are a lot more people out there in a similar situation. I like the medical transcriptionist suggestion, as well as the ebay & craigslist buy & resell though I'm not sure she or I know the best type of items to focus on. As for a niche site selling x-type of items... that sounds alright and one I've thought of - but what's a good niche market where the google ad words prices aren't astronomical? Anyone?
I really like it, although I would change the "years between" slider-type control you used to something more standard, and I would add some better styling to the tomato-meter slider... and well to the whole filter settings panel... but other than that, it's pretty Awesome. I could and will definitely use it... I am forever having a hard time finding a good movie to watch on Netflix.
