Things about the new Firefox browser for Android
https://blog.mozilla.org/firefox/firefox-android-new-features/
Agree. The form itself is awful, presenting the user with 5 fields to fill in, and two checkboxes before they've made a conscious decision to sign up. Having a mailing list button on by default and setting it apart from the main page text also makes users inclined to think it's for a mailing list rather than the product itself, with the vague "Vendio Store" heading not exactly helping.
This is a wonderful idea. Every time I try to get someone started with Rails, I sent them to the Rails Guides and warn them that "getting Rails up and running in the hardest part." Being able to have someone jump straight into videos and interactive prompts from their browser is going to be so much better...
In my experience these steps have helped me get a higher salary.

1. Say your current salary is 20% higher than it actually is when interviewing.

2. Once you get a job offer say you are very interested in the position you just need $5k more to accept this position today . If they say no the 1st offer will still stand.

3. When yearly reviews come around, act grateful but slightly disappointed in the raise (unless it is HUGE).

If you feel these are dishonest that is fine, but the reality is that most companies will take advantage of you if you don't look out for yourself.

For example, If you interview for a position where the industry average is 60k and you say the range you are looking for is 45-75k. Your offer will be very close to 45k. Even though the company knows 60 is the industry average.
Thanks for the link.

IMO Alex doesn't give the best advice sometimes (not to wonder, he sees so much boneheadedness!!!), but he's quite right there... but I don't see the advice -against- business rule engines there.

I totally agree with your own advice about sticking to commercial business rule engines. In fact, I'll give Drools.net a try (any other suggestions?).

If any company -needs- a rules engine, it's the one I work for (there's a "developer" whose main reason for having work is that the business rules change a lot every freaking month)

PD: I like his linking to Yourdon's book :) - and I have a degree in "Information Systems" myself
I would love to see a real estate search site that used what Latitude or Foursquare know about me to suggest houses/apartments.

I imagine a search service that tells you things "4 times a week, you check in at restaurants with 1 mile of this apartment" or "Buying this house will shave 8 miles off your commute."
I don't think being a fan of the iPhone doesn't mean you can't also be a fan of Android; they're not mutually exclusive (I have an Xbox and a Wii). That said, in 2010, there is a strong break between not only the fanbases, but in the guiding philosophy of either platform. I read this last paragraph, laughed, and thought, "This is why I read Gruber."

Edit: Also, don't forget this classic — Apple Needs a Nikon (http://daringfireball.net/2007/11/apple_needs_a_nikon)

Salient quote from Stephen Fry: "So you can guess that I certainly do think design is important. But it doesn’t have to come from Apple. In fact, I wish to goodness it came from everywhere."
He showed slides of a normal distribution for the previous semester's results, vs a bimodal distribution for the current semester - that's the aberration I'm talking about.
Isn't letrec (Scheme) and labels (CL) used for the same purpose?
Chrome Sync does everything that Firefox Sync does

I really don't think it does. For one, it doesn't encrypt your data client-side so that Google won't know about it.
You have to think that if the professor really could identify the culprits he'd be limiting the retakes to them.

Maybe the real test here is for the students to realize that there is no "forensic analysis" in the world which could identify a cheater with 100% confidence except for the confession he is trying to bully out of them.
He probably doesn't have a choice. Check out the student handbook for the university that he agreed to follow when enrolling. There's just about always a part about turning over both copyrights and rights to inventions if they're submitted as part of a class or the student used any school resource (such as consulting any professor) in the process of creation.
Interesting concept.Scanning through the code, reading just the comments, it seems to base the nude-not-nude decision by the amount of skin shown.

Hmm.. I guess it depends on what your definition of nudity is.
if anyone goes for a node.js implementation I'd offer my support on it
Your second paragraph has to be the single best account I've ever read of my own view. Kudos for nailing it so well yet so concisely.

(note: which isn't to say that it's easy to avoid perception- or value-induced biases, nor that it's possible (yet, or ever) to describe all of reality in strictly logical terms; as such philosophers may paint extremely subjective characterization of models that could otherwise be better generalized in more neutral terms.)

It's like if Einstein said "gravity is oppressing spacetime": assigning intent beyond mere behavior of large informal human groups ("the rich", "the 1%", "workers", "mothers", etc) is a slippery slope down hubris-bias road, de-elevating the science in favor of perception.
I love the small detail that "Buying the site" is recommended as "Our Choice". Hilarious copywriting.
One benefit I've found of having IPv6 enabled is that it allows me to use certain sites (particularly gmail) while my PC is connected to my work network via a VPN.

Edit: I should point out that I had no idea my machine was using IPv6 until I wondered why I was able to use Gmail and not other sites (such as HN).
This is a rich story that sounds like it would make a great movie. "Should we go or should we stay ?" is a decision of choice. The Trail of Tears was as horrid as it was because it took the decision out of the hands of the people most affected by it.
I couldn't find any documentation on libcu++
i guess i'll have to download the new sdk, and see if there are samples or look at the headers.
There are five regional internet registries (RIRs), and Ripe NCC is one of them. Here's a map of which services what region[0]

Does this mean we've finally run out of new allocatable IPv4 addresses with the RIRs?

[0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_Internet_registry#/me...
Even if the ISP does everything right, there are a lot of small sites with broken IPv6 setups caused by incorrect server and DNS configurations. While my ISP appears to provide a solid IPv6 setup, I've ran into quite a few issues with sites either:

- Serving different content on IPv4 vs. IPv6, e.g. just showing Apache2's "It Works" page

- Serving some subresources behind a reverse proxy on IPv4 only (and 404ing on IPv6)

- Forgetting IPv6 AAAA Records after a server change

Trying to debug this as a user is annoying and even if I identified the issue before leaving the site, working with sites to get it fixed has been an issue. I quickly ran into the "Works for me" issue, when the administrators (and a majority of their users) ran on IPv4 only networks.

Ultimately I just disabled IPv6 on all my systems because it ends being more trouble than it's worth.
I think the existence of ghc-mod for incremental compiling and the interpreter repl really don't make compile times a big deal. It's a bigger issue in languages where you actually have to fully compile over and over as a part of your dev loop. This isn't something I ever do in Haskell because of said tools.
I'd call that 96% figure generous, but it's not, it's wildly out of line.

Medicare might be somewhere between 33% and 50% efficient.

The amount of doctoring / healthcare consumed in the US is far beyond any other comparable first world system.

Far too expensive of procedures; too high of salaries for doctors and healthcare workers in general (eg the median radiologist salary in the US is $380k; in France it's ~$100k); drug prices that are drastically too high; and the over-consumption of all of it - the US Government's primary focus over the next 20 years should be to bring healthcare per capita costs in line with the rest of the first world.

Cutting the profit out of healthcare isn't going to make a difference unless you're willing to dramatically reduce: 1) the total consumption of healthcare services; 2) healthcare salaries; 3) drug costs.

Profit is a fraction of the problem. You might save 7%-10% by eliminating all profit from every company in the health sector, from hospitals to drug companies. Now how do you plan to deal with the other 30% to 40% of cost that needs to be eliminated?
We didn't really go to war because of 9/11. It was a direct result of existing interventionist foreign policy. 9/11 just escalated an ongoing conflict.

You're right, though, the impact of each successive event is less.
That number probably includes the ones where the authorities supplied means and opportunity and the 'terrorists' supplied only stupidity and motive.
Just curious, how do you identify a "real conservative"? Fiscal policy, social policy, what's the differentiator?
My biggest irritation with using web pages for school is that with schoolwork, I am often looking down at my desk with paper and pencil in front of me. Using a website requires me to look up and deal with a keyboard taking all my desk space. It is hard to focus on the work when you are fighting with a computer at the same time.
For some people it is not only ineffective, it results in suicide. I was almost one of those people. I don't know if it should be illegal, but I'm just throwing that out there.
Approximately 0% of the installed browser base trusts them.

The cheap game designers part is probably not entirely true. The company may be located in Poland but they use a lot of foreign talent, and foreign talent would not be willing to work for average Polish salaries.
IMO the US is the epicentre of the cult of the individual which stresses personal pleasure and freedom over value creation in society. That's what causes it.
Beej has had great guides for many things on the internet for decades. I fondly remember learning C from Beej's guide to C [1] upon being recommended by WinterMute (from the Nintendo homebrewing community). Best introduction to programming I've seen by far!
