3dson Ask HN: Firefox vs. Chrome security

My understanding is, that Firefox Quantum is not faster due to any additional rust parts, but because the team focused on performance optimization across the entire codebase.

The only big rust component was introduced a couple of releases ago: Stylo.

Once Webrender is in Firefox, a serious chunk of Firefox will be written in Rust.

3dson The new 12-sided £1 Coin

This is crazy: "Approximately one in thirty £1 coins in circulation is a counterfeit."

3dson Virtual Forest

The A-Frame framework that is mentioned can be found here: https://aframe.io/

3dson Ask HN: What PHP framework would you choose if you could start over?

I realize that this is not in line with the PHP requirement, but hear me out:

I would use Ruby on Rails.

I have transitioned from using Drupal to Symfony2 (sometimes with Sonata) to using Ruby on Rails, and let me tell you, everything is indeed greener on this side. The tools are better, the language is easy to learn and it is mostly sane. The framework is amazeballs, I am not even kidding. Writing tests is actually fun. In general, I am a much happier developer with Ruby on Rails. I would also dare to say that RoR makes me a lot more efficient as well.

In Symfony I'd frequently get stuck in finding a workaround for some weird bug, which just doesn't happen that much anymore in Rails...

3dson Post Mortem: A single whitespace character

Your example fails with or without the whitespace. These work though:

Request

  printf 'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: example.herokuapp.com\r\n\r\n' |  nc example.herokuapp.com 80

Response

  HTTP/1.1 200 OK
  Connection: keep-alive
  Server: SimpleHTTP/0.6 Python/2.7.6

Request

  printf 'GET /  HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: example.herokuapp.com\r\n\r\n' |  nc example.herokuapp.com 80

Response

  HTTP/1.1 505 HTTP Version Not Supported
  Connection: close
  Server: Cowboy

3dson Show HN: I just open-sourced the Rails toolkit I use to quickly launch sites

I like it. You should also take a look at these:

https://github.com/RailsApps/rails-composer

https://github.com/dennybritz/rails_startup_template

3dson I Transcribed Glenn Greenwald's 30C3 Keynote

nice work, maybe you would like to contribute it to the subtitle team effort?

http://subtitles.media.ccc.de/

specifically here: http://subtitles.pads.ccc.de/5622

3dson Tern – Intelligent JavaScript editing

upvote for vim bindings, that would totally rock!

3dson Regexp-based RFC822 email address validation

As per html5 spec the recommended regex is:

/^[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&'+/=?^_`{|}~-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)$/

3dson Pdf.js: PDF Reader in JavaScript

On Firefox OS this will be the default PDF viewer.

3dson Show HN: Scoutzie, 444 best mobile designers for hire.

It's valid constructive criticism. I realize that didn't come out right, but you should really work on that, it's not even all that complicated to get that page to display nicely with css mediaqueries

3dson Show HN: Scoutzie, 444 best mobile designers for hire.

If you have so many awesome mobile designers, maybe put one to work on your own site and create a responsive layout that works on a mobile device! This fixed width layout doesn't help prove your point.

3dson Poll: What is your primary operating system

At work: Linux

At home: OSX

3dson IPhoto for iOS Not Using Google Maps?

Well spotted! It appears that the author does not know the difference between map data and rendering it.

I have looked at other places in OpenStreetMap and Apple Maps tiles and there is no doubt that they use OSM data, just their own renderer.

3dson Admin Interfaces for Rails Apps: RailsAdmin vs ActiveAdmin

I'm using Refinery, and I'm liking it a lot. It's more in the direction of a CMS though.

3dson Please tell us what features you'd like in news.ycombinator

I would like to be able to read HN on mobile devices more easily. I commited some code on github that achieves that:

https://github.com/nex3/arc/commit/0efaa1b189c4ed54c4f91a7ec...

It only adds a viewport meta tag and some styling which applies to small screens only by using a media query.

Please use it! Afterwards the site will look like this on the iphone: http://minus.com/lGBmQmM4CrdHE

Sidenote: Why can I commit directly to the github repository? I thought that by clicking edit, I would create a fork and work on that and create a pull request later. Strange. Or is this some kind of open-to-all repository?

3dson Deobfuscating the Facebook Spam Script

Here is the proper deobfuscated code:

reddit disusses it nicely:

3dson I've got the next great idea for a social networking site... But now what?

I see this kind of mail/post all the time. Some business guy thinks all that's necessary for a successful web-startup is a good idea. He then can find a lowly developer who takes care of those pesky details while he ponders whether the header should be more blueish or not... I don't mean to be rude, but these ideas are usually crap and without a technical (co)founder, it's not gonna happen.

Also: Ideas are worthless. Execution is everything.

3dson Unix - The Hole Hawg

The only problem is that OS X is a UNIX operating system.

3dson [dead]

How is this a Hacker News worthy article?

3dson Ask HN: Best book you read in 2010 and briefly why

Eating Animals, by Jonathan Safran Foer

Exceptional book about the environmental, social and individual costs of industrial animal farming. Also somewhat philosophical about consuming animals and cruelty against them.

http://www.eatinganimals.com/

3dson The reverse job applicant

True, on the other hand, including a doctype still makes sense to avoid quirks mode. (There'd be less errors if he'd use html5 doctype though.) And as long as it renders properly in A-grade browsers you're good to go.

3dson Try Ubuntu 10.10 Server in Amazon EC2, entirely on our dime

I did have the key stored, told them about my problem, they said it was a bug and let me have another go. Took me almost one hour to get Drupal 7 beta running and I turned that into a blog post:

http://blog.eike.se/2010/10/intalling-drupal-7-on-fresh-ubun...

3dson Try Ubuntu 10.10 Server in Amazon EC2, entirely on our dime

Didn't work for me. At least not with ssh-key based auth, don't know what user name to use. too bad.

3dson [dead]

I wonder why this post didn't get a single vote:

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1763429

even though it was submitted earlier and basicly states the same thing?

3dson Rate my startup: Make stupid simple websites for work, play and life.

Well done! 2 things:

- make all images on the landing page clickable, maybe link them to an example that uses that design. I clicked and nothing happened.

- don't show the "delete" or "rename" menu item on the "Home" page, when you can't use them anyways.

3dson What the HTTP is CouchApp

If you read the page you will find a section on "Server Side Validations"

3dson Ask HN:Who is hiring in Germany?

It really depends on the city you live in, what you're area of expertise is and if you're freelancing or looking for a "real" job.

I live in Berlin and I know Nokia is currently on a hiring-spree here (it's funny, because, the river is called Spree:) I know a lot of smaller companies in town I could ask who might need someone, again depending on what you do. Earlier this year I did some freelancing for the Telekom in Darmstadt, they have offices in Köln too.

Other than that you probably should be looking for jobs on these sites:
