I'd rather be nice than successful
OMG I want an Android version of this SO BAD. Maybe I'll build it... Don't worry, if I do it'll be for personal use, I obviously wouldn't release it and screw you over.

Thanks for the exposure!

The demo is also available at http://hughrawlinson.github.io/meyda.

I also want to be very clear from the outset that this was a group effort between @nevosegal, @jakubfiala (on github) and myself. We've contributed equally to the source, the research, the testing, and the accompanying paper that has been accepted for presentation at the first Web Audio Conference in Paris.

Not only can you not knight deceased people, but when knights die they lose their title. #QuiteInteresting. #whenwillhnsupporthashtags.

Tim Cook is 53 and gay. Eich is 58 and straight. Very different backgrounds.

How? What PC are you using?
Emailing passwords to users in plain text? round of applause
180/m? That's a database of over 10,000 records in an hour, and that's only if the querying party is stupid enough to not think of using multiple API keys in parallel.
This + twilio = user identification. Looks like I'm gonna have to be more careful with my phone number...

There may or may not be other easter eggs on the site... The app is awesome too!

Can someone who knows how to get around the cert issue please copy and paste to pastebin or similar?

Ok, what I meant by that was that everything that is 'defined' and 'solidified' (I don't think I know the right word to describe it) is a function in that you can't define variables of type, they're all something that a function returns, and have a more etherial quality. Yeah, I really don't have the words for what I think I'm trying to say, and I don't actually know that either, I'm just going by what people have told me and what I have read of haskell. I'm by no means even familiar with haskell at this stage, so whatever I say about haskell is conjecture from the perspective of a novice in an attempt to describe things to the extent that other novices can have a quick entry path to live-coding (which is the aim here rather than into FP/haskell)

I've also done a very little bit of overtone. It's going in the blog when I get back to it after I've done some more Tidal.

No no no, not "shut up" at all. That's not what I said. But, bear in mind that everything you say can affect your future. Which is totally fair enough. Judging a persons character by what they have said and done in the past is standard, and fair, practice. Expecting immunity from everything you've ever said or done is unrealistic.

If Eich no longer believes what he believed, it's on him to make sure he makes that point. However, Eich never said anything to that effect, nor did he apologize, so we have no reason to assume that his opinion has changed.

He had the right to free speech. He exercised his right to free speech. He had to deal with the consequences. There is no right to free speech without consequences. Each and every person who has the right to free speech (because remember, many don't) can say whatever they like, but cannot possibly expect it to never affect them further down the road. Particularly when you're in the position of CEO where you're expected to represent the company's ideals in your every public action.
Re:Brendan Eich Steps Down as Mozilla CEO on Thursday April 03, 2014 @06:26PM (#7527445)
I've seen some people defending him for various reasons, most prominently because he has a right to free speech. Of course he has a right to free speech, and he exercised it. He also has the responsibility to accept the consequences. His actions/speech made enough people angry enough to exercise their speech to the extent that Eich's position was no longer tenable.

People too often forget that rights don't mean that there will be no consequences to exercising those rights (within the bounds of the law, and other things).

Weird that these are being demoted. Regardless - I've seen some people defending him for various reasons, most prominently because he has a right to free speech. Of course he has a right to free speech, and he exercised it. He also has the responsibility to accept the consequences.

Can we talk about paywall links on HN?
