I am learning Japanese as well. Thanks for that NHK link that's a great resource, I love the furigana!

Yeah but the people corrupting you, would ask you for your sha as confirmation.
Here in Italy for example it's forbidden to bring your smartphone into the voting cabin, because the Mafia was asking for photo proofs.
So esrauch found a great counter to my idea.

I know very little about security but couldn't a system be created like git, where for every vote the voter gets a sha of his vote?
That way she can later verify that in his section repository his vote is still there and has been counted. Of course the mapping sha1 <-> voter will be anonymous, but this way everyone can see all the votes.
This doesn't solve the problem of some hacker adding votes on top of the legitimate ones though.

For non prime packages, I live in Italy and a lot of stuff on Amazon catalogue is generally not available for next day delivery (which I use to time deliveries when I know the next day I work from home).
In Italy the express couriers are not allowed to leave stuff in your front yard, and it's generally not possible to schedule the first delivery attempt.

Aside from the delivery in 30 minutes, for me the coolest part is delivery to the back of your garden. You can get secure deliveries, even while not at home. That's great.

So I assume the new native hypervisor is available from cli as well? Then that's excellent!
pgz | 9 years ago | on: Docker Betas for AWS, Azure, Mac, and Windows
I don't understand why Docker for Mac is a GUI application. I'd rather get the same features from the CLI.

I agree, this is how it should be done! It's very useful :)
pgz | 9 years ago | on: Voxel art
When I see this beautiful art, it makes me want to play with Voxeljs. Sadly I'm a developer, so what I make would not turn out so pretty.
pgz | 9 years ago | on: Airbnb: Building a Visual Language, Behind the scenes of our new design system
I agree, I really, really hope design tools and practices evolve more in the direction of building a design language and components.
As a developer, it would make my life easier as well, when I try to split designs into components / css.

> Rather than manipulating the AST, Bublé manipulates the source code directly, using the AST as a guide – so there's no costly code generation step at the end.
Is that really good idea when looking at the possibility of introducing bugs in the transpiler?

WTF. €609 in Europe vs $499 in the US for the 64GB model.
I will not let them get away with this pricing model. Keeping my trusted Nokia 2700 :)
pgz | 10 years ago | on: What's New in Webpack 2
We solved this with https://github.com/jackfranklin/jspm-dev-builder
It's so fast now.
pgz | 10 years ago | on: What's New in Webpack 2
We are using jspm on an inherited codebase that was concatenated "by hand" with Rails' asset-pipeline (it has lots of old libraries and the overrides are very good to handle them).
What we hate is jspm is extremely slow in development for us. There are two main causes:
- The amount of xhr. This is solvable with http2's server push (but
our dev server is in Ruby, and there's no http2 webserver yet).
- Apparently jspm doesn't cache the result of Babel's compilation,
so for each page refresh every file has to be recompiled again.
pgz | 10 years ago | on: Yahoo to cut 15 percent jobs, close several units
This, IMHO, is the crucial point: what exactly is Yahoo's business?
As an outside watcher I have no clue (I am also stupid). Hopefully people working there have better insight than myself.

That holygrail project looks cool thanks. As a Clojure newbie, I'm not too fond of Lein to be honest.

How will you be programming in a decade?
With Vim (or Emacs)... that's kind of obvious.

It really depends on the startup. For some form of chat application or distributed system he will find himself reinventing less compared to the competition. Would be a great way to beat the averages :)
pgz | 10 years ago | on: Ask HN: Did you implement a lunch picking app at your startup?
When in doubt, we used this.
