This is a really important point. I left a job after 3 months despite a program like this for a number of reasons:
* the "program" was mainly lip-service, as far as I could tell there was no meaningful impact in daily management
* the company was so bureaucratic that it took me two weeks to get a development environment set up for lack of an MFA token setup, and that was just the tip of the iceberg.
* There were a lot of elegant abstractions over code that never should have been written, which demanded weeks worth of just learning topology for the application
* Political and ego conflict meant that any change I tried to make got shot down not for technical reasons but because I "hadn't paid my dues" for credibility.

I've done much better with early- and mid-stage startups with lots of problems to be handled and all the encouragement in the world to go after them, even without these "neurodivergence programs". Of course, you're getting into another world of life problems (e.g. these companies rarely have parental leave worth mentioning) but you can usually work around the edges.
The dogs aren't purposefully trained to give false positives, that's just a side effect of how social dogs are. They want to please their handler and the handler gives them rewards.
just offhand, from my understanding, ~ signifies rust's pointer type. It's different from C's pointer type in subtle ways, so the symbol is different, to force reader to actually look into it, and understand what it does different instead of just assuming it's just like C's.

There's also the advantage that there's no way to conflict with the * multiplication operator.
No, I wasn't being that subtle. Just that if the dollar fell, so would the government, at which point who really knows how things would go.
Honestly, a complete list of phrases in there that were inappropiate and/or based on assumptions unsupported by my comment is:

"so ignorant it makes me sad" - yes it was ignorant, as i admitted and explained in why i used the wording i did, and certainly not an ignorance i cling to, so the sad part just comes across as a holier-than-thou ad hominem

"I guess it's hard for you to understand" - that phrase in its own is pretty bad

"I guess it's hard for you to understand the value of physical health, entertainment, mental, physical and spiritual development." - i had just come from the gym, don't think i need to say more to that

"This is something that people in these boards should value a lot more" - who says i don't, i didn't even say it was worthless

"sorry ... your comment made me feel sad for you." - both a non-apology and a needless ad hominem

Edit: I love how the downvotes on this only serve to demonstrate how some parts of this community actively loathe discourse in dialogue.
Not the price of manufacture, the cost of research is what this will reduce.

And the research cost is definitely correlated with the final price.
If you can't read the document and deduce it's meaning, why use this document? Is this an emperors clothe type of thing?

Why teach the illiterate to read? What good are words if people need teachers to explain them?
It's not over the line; they wanted to do a business that's illegal in the states, so they (allegedly) committed crimes. If they had wanted they could have banned US players, and only accepted money from players in other countries. They didn't want to do that.

I'm presuming most of the main people here don't live in the states, they are no doubt implementing their own personal Plan B's right now, and have already landed in their chosen spots.

The US citizens living in the US are in the most trouble, I'd guess.
It was horrible and ruined a great childhood memory for me. Recommend against seeing it if you're a fan - and if you're not - avoid with indifference.
Voluntary response bias. The higher earners are more willing to advertise what they make.

Also, I've heard that companies prefer to pay what a job (they think) is worth, regardless of location. Just something I've heard.
It makes a difference, but the added living costs rarely eat up all the additional salary you make. You have to figure them into your financial calculations, but you'll usually end up ahead in terms of the net amount of money you can bank in a given amount of time.
The salaries I mentioned at my old companies and classmates are relatively accurate, I got to see paperwork at my old company and my classmates were pretty excited about their offers.
The companies you're targeting value the programming work being done / needed at $x/year. If you feel like that is too low, I suggest targeting companies that value your skills at a higher rate.

Also, tech companies or companies started by or run by tech people may pay at a higher rate because they know the value of the skills and want to attract and invest in top quality employees.

Questions:

* Is it possible to use the Android as a Linux development platform?

* Can I compile POSIX sources on the Android?

* For instance, can I download bash, Vim and Python tarballs to an Android device and build?
I hate projects with empty README. I still don't know what Backbone is and not going to have to open the source to find out.
Same with Coke and other soda bottles in other countries. At least in Central America, anyway, as I've spent a lot of time down there and the Coke bottles are quite obviously several generations in. In fact you'll often see a copyright notice from 10 years ago or whatever.

I didn't realize that didn't also happen in the states, though I guess glass bottles in general are really only used for beer (though I'd imagine if you go to the store and grab a 'Mexican Coke' you'll likely find it to be a recycled bottle, or at a taqueria or whatever).
This bill (or something like it) comes up over and over again here. So, let me repeat myself as tersely as possible: the people who wrote this bill are probably not trying to take over the Internet. The private-sector networks that they are probably concerned about are the GSM and utility networks, as well as networks used by privately owned mass transportation operators. These networks are indeed vulnerable to serious attacks. No, "just don't plug them into the Internet!" isn't an answer to that.
Was he merely concerned with financial waste or is that how he sold the problem to his superiors?
Here the Queen has "effective"/moral power - but it is just accepted she wont use it.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how many here would trust monarchs or anyone else not to use their power.
I'm probably an outlier here, but I work for a major defense contractor. I found my job by applying, having the right (albeit obscure) skill set, and being willing to learn. That said, I take it you're not looking for the typical cubical desk job. :)

I'd start with your personal network. I moved to a new position within the company recently; one that I shouldn't have been able to apply for. The only reason I was even considered was because my new manager (read: single meeting, first impressions) saw that I wanted to do the job, and was passionate about it.

She called the hiring manager and a week later I was in an interview. The following day I had an offer.

Your network is the fastest way in. If you don't have one, grow one. Contribute to open source, attend user groups, get out in the world -- and always have a business card.
One time, I decided I wanted a software job in a specific remote area. I connected with numerous recruiters to maximize my interviews per plane trip to the area. The ultimate win came from watching for jobs in the area through craigslist that did not obviously come from some generic recruiting farm. It took me two plane trips' worth of interviews in five months, and I landed that craigslist job.

If I were to do it all again, I realize now that the most powerful tool for all this is to make use of connections. I do not mean the feel-good stuff you get from LinkedIn. I mean actual communication with people via phone, email, whatever. User groups, conferences, whatever... Network well, and the job hunt becomes a lot easier.

The other thing about networking is that you can get an idea of WHO you want to work with. Usually that is more important than the actual kinds of work in our field.

Lacking the network, I would look for ways to bypass having to communicate with HR... or just venture forth on my own.
This is a pretty badly thought out, and badly composed article.
The worst case for apple is that someone builds a 'killer app' that compels people to purchase the device, but it then doesn't get released to the iPhone, but the Android instead.
> 8. Do an unsolicited SEO analysis if you want to do marketing

Not very humble....

When you see something that is wrong, there are two possibilities - it's actually wrong or you are.

Even if it's wrong, your analysis may not add any value even if it's completely correct. For example, better SEO may be 9th on their list of priorities and they only have resources for the top 5.

It's not about you.
This is brilliant but using 'genome' implies mutation/evolution. It seems that the content these companies/sites generate evolves over time but the Collective Intelligence Genome(rules for content management) remains more or less fixed over time.
Thank you. He was definitely a member of the family, albeit a hairier one with less discretion for what went in his stomach.

But really, thank you.
People also need to be a little more careful about using the word "ghetto". It has a long history, from Jewish ghettos in Europe during World War II, to modern day black ghettos that persist in most big cities in the U.S.

Many people today still grow up in "The Ghetto," which is a place of geographic, economic, and political marginalization. Before you go talking about "Wii is a ghetto" or "Ruby is a ghetto" you should really understand something about what that means, and who you might be affecting with your words.

And even if you've decided that you want to throw the word around, use it fucking properly. A ghetto is not just something that "sucks". Ghettos are defined not just by being run-down, but by being isolated in some way. If you want to say something sucks, just say it sucks.
If your app is basically a webapp that you want to be accessible from mobile devices, you're best off with a mobile stylesheet for the web app. It can be a timesink, but definitely less of one than the multiple FTEs you need to support native mobile apps.

To me, though, the really interesting stuff in mobile are the markets that simply aren't possible for desktop webapps. Things like Shazaam or Bump, and probably lots of other things that haven't been discovered yet. These things simply can't be done as webapps, because you don't have the hardware support necessary to access those features.

It's like how when the web came out, everyone used it as a glorified storefront, with e-commerce everything, because that's what they were familiar with. It was only once it'd been out for ten years or so that we realized it replaced the socializing part of going to the mall and not the shopping part. It seems totally obvious today that people would use the web to talk to each other, but it wasn't so obvious in 1995.
As someone who's lived in Sweden and now America: The vast majority of Swedes drive small sedans/station wagons, not 4WD trucks. Ironically most Americans I ask about their unnecessarily large trucks cite safety as the reason they're not in a smaller car, while a significantly smaller portion actually got their truck to be able to pull others out of ditches, drive in rough terrain, etc.

If I had to guess, I'd say there being more metal involved is a significant factor in the number of deaths.

Two other possible reasons: 1. Manufacturers popular in Scandinavia, like Volvo and now Tesla, make much safer cars than their competition, and 2. It is ridiculously easy to get a driver's license in America compared to Europe. If you measured "graduates'" driving ability out of the gate, I'm sure Europe would come out on top. (Though, American roads being much larger and safer in general might compensate for this. I'm not sure what the article is talking about when it implies Swedish roads are safer -- they're a mess compared to America's in that respect.)

Yep, your "junk" is fully visible.

Paparazzi's wet dream... I mean, if the LAPD can't keep pictures of a battered Rihanna from TMZ[1], wait until Paris Hilton decides to fly commercial through LAX. (Celebrities can't always afford charter, can they?)

I am curious to hear the opinions of some of the people in this comment thread regarding the downloading of copyrighted music, torrenting copyrighted films, downloading copyrighted books, or otherwise illegally using copyrighted content.

I'm not defending this woman as she did do something wrong. However, I think it's distressing that people are celebrating her "defeat," especially as (I would guess) most of her critics are avid supporters of pirated content. Isn't there some statistic about how every American violates some copyright law just about every day?

Cooks Source was a small, free, regional publication--the kind you ignore at the dentist's. This doesn't excuse Cooks Source and doesn't mean that Monica shouldn't have taken issue like she did. But in the end, I just don't see a david vs. goliath story: I just see a bunch of people ganging up on one person.
Right, so if a Jew was getting walked to gas chamber, they shouldn't get mad at the Nazi that was doing it because they were just following orders?

OBVIOUSLY it isn't as bad, but you have every right to get mad at someone for doing something that's oppressive, even if they are a wage-slave.
badly, i have hundreds of bookmarks, articles, documents that i haven't looked at since adding them - not quite sure what i'm waiting for but i spend a lot more time collecting them then actually reading them
Is there a Dunning-Kruger effect for people's musical taste?
Every sport in the world is a direct source of injuries if you combine too important a workload and bad form. Your injuries have nothing to do with running itself, an activity that has been central to the human species' way of life for millions of years and that the human body is naturally designed for.
First off, did he really have to plug ANKS? Honestly it seems like every piece of writing I come across from him he has to mention it.

Secondly, I think eventually programming will have to become more mainstream. And this will be done through some form of a natural language interface. Programming is best a tool to solve problems. It's way too limited now where only an elite group gets to control its use.

Eventually programming will have to become a tool as common as mathematics. The problems we face are only going to continue to grow in complexity where the only way to get a handle on them is through automated computation. The user will need the instant, iterative feedback that only a self-made program can provide. For this to happen, the interface to programming will need a radical change.
Guh, yes, thank you. (It's been a long, long time since I wrote significant amounts of C++.)
Agreed, came back here to write the same thing. That was very uncomfortable to watch.
How is it impractical?
Wow, that video went private right as I was watching it. The glass demo must have failed real good.
Who would have thought that the comically ugly renders of a few weeks ago would turn out to be spot on? This was jaw dropping.
Depending on what was meant by "like this", they do have the option of fixing this class of bugs (memory safety vulns), using mature tried and tested programming language practices and technology. It's a decades old debate between the C enthusiasts and the correctness/security enthusiasts. (Same problems and options are of course available Apple and Microsoft - it's not just Linux)
It's only a donation if you assume the vulnerability is not cutting edge, otherwise it doesn't seem unfair to label the disclosure as corrosive to the current zeitgeist in terms of user safety. Just because you've managed to marry genuine research and politics doesn't mean that you've eliminated the more general bias produced by researching/disclosing information about opposing products more frequently than your own. At the same time, this also doesn't mean the system is bad, it could be entirely possible that the status quo of security without adversarial research is much worse for the end user.
Ricciardo had an amazing season, I didn't think he was going to do much after his time at Toro Rosso.

That race made me wish I could isolate two drivers, to compare Ricciardo and Vettel.
> This is strange.

It is indeed strange...and strangely familiar. Every Bitcoin company that has had massive holes in its books has first claimed that technical difficulties were the reason they had to suspend withdrawals. Then over the following weeks comes the annoucement that the money has been stolen, lost, or law enforcement moves in and says it has been embezzled.

I would be extremely uncomfortable at the moment if I had money in Bitstamp. If withdrawal capability does come back online, try to get your money out ASAP.
For your 128GF I take it you are assuming 1:4 with FP32. That would be unexpected. E.g. in contrast to AMD parts, the recent NV parts based on Maxwell2 (such as GM204 in the gtx980) are 1:32 for FP64:FP32. I would expect that ratio to hold in this part, and the SMs are likely highly similar, giving the ~16GF number I used.

I haven't seen the automotive workloads, but they strike me as repetitive and regular enough that a Denver style part would do ok. That said, I'm not shocked by the use of A57+A53.

(Disclaimer: I worked on an early version of Denver on the code morphing software, and at an ARM server vendor on A57 based SOC).
- Work from home a few days a week and squeeze in extra startup work with the time/energy you save.

I think he's referring to time saved by not having to commute, not using company time for the startup. If that's true then it seems like good advice.

On that note, have you thought about a switch of service in the future for your Appointment Reminder service?

I will probably not be switching. I am fortunate to be in industries where costs are rounding error next to traditional ones, and time spent optimizing for costs has never made sense next to the marginal revenue I could get by taking the same time and putting it to use marketing, engineering, or marketeering. (The exception is advertising costs, because optimizing for those has superscalar returns due to how AdWords works.)

I don't have data yet for Appointment Reminder, obviously, but I expect that Twilio will consume a fairly small portion of my revenue. I'm ecstatic to give that to them in return for getting to use a programming paradigm that I'm very familiar with and have automatic tight integration between the phone and web parts of my offering. (See my blog later for examples of what you can do with that for UX. It is pretty amazing.)

This is similar to why I pay for Slicehost when there are cheaper offerings elsewhere, instantly: it works well and respects my time.

As always, I'm open to the possibility of changing when (not if) reality whacks me upside the head and tells me that everything I know is wrong, but I rather strongly suspect that "Twilio will turn out to be pretty cheap" is not the hypothesis that is a source of risk for my business.
I too use philosophy to 'push my understanding of the world around me' but for what possible reason should I want to do this except to better inform the decisions I make in my life?

All of Objectivism can be extrapolated from 'Existence exists.' That statement implies that 'something' exists (hence law of identity, A is A) and that you are conscious of it (hence consciousness). That gives us the three axiomatic concepts on which Objectivism rests - everyone directly perceives them - and they cannot be denied because any argument against them would inevitably involve/imply existence/identity/consciousness resulting in self-contradiction. In a similar way, the validity of the senses is not up for debate because any attempt to negate this validity would at some point rely upon it. So you need to accept the three irreducible primaries (existence/identity/consciousness) and the validity of the senses - and happily basically everyone does accept those things, and lives accordingly, and would only so much as attempt to deny them during rare philosophical debates.

When I said rational beings are defined by their ability to reason, I did not mean such beings are automatically acting rationally. Its a different sense of the word, like a fast car vs a car that is actually going fast. Just a misunderstanding.
Compact fluorescents look cool, however I'd put one in a jar and silicone shut the lid because the last place you want mercury is in an enclosed space where you routinely put food your children are going to be consuming (it's not going to hurt them, god knows a broken thermometer did nothing to me as a child but it's an unnecessary risk when we're talking about life-time exposures and not immediate exposure).
Ok, I have to ask: When was the last time you watched basketball? Nobody showing great accuracy? Ray Allen? Kobe Bryant?
Also, in a phenomenon somewhat unique to singing, what you hear just isn't what others hear. For example, sometimes people will modify their technique such that their voice sounds very resonant to them, but externally the sound doesn't carry. Sometimes in these cases, listening to a recording can be very helpful, if not a bit shocking. One of the difficulties of learning to sing is learning what good feels like rather than what good sounds like.
Yes, as long as whatever amount invested isn't going to cause sleepless nights and you're willing to wait 5-10 years before you sell it.
Let me advise you something different, its valid & legal and it works perfectly fine... i know many have done this before by applying for Canadian permanent residency (same as USA green card) so that they at least have stability and dont have to worry about going back to home country. Canadian PR is easy and fast and you can work from Vancouver (close to silicon valley on Canadian side) and in the mean time keep working on your job & project... just in case if you want to work full-time on your startup then you can go to Canada and work from there, also once you've PR from Canada, you can go to US on visitors visa as many time as you want, this is good if you want to meet VCs and other project members. Also you can get Canadian citizenship within 3 to 5yrs after PR.

Do I sound like sales guy for Canadian immigration :-) anyway find an immigration lawyer who has knowledge of both countries (USA & Canada), again trust me this will be immensely helpful for planning your future and stability.

edit: by the way, once you get PR for Canada, you may migrate there and easily find a job that is not stressful, you can work for 40hrs and rest of the time you can work for your startup.
