Yeah, I had a bumpy transition from C to Forth. Now I can write idiomatic C, Forth, Erlang, OCaml, and Ada/SPARK, but C -> Forth was the most difficult one, I would say.

As for C++: I have zero clue about it. Occasionally a student who learns C++ comes to me for help and I end up being useful and help her (by RTFM), but other than that, nothing much really.
Organization does not necessarily mean monopolization. Open standards/protocols with several operators is not only possible, but desirable. An ecosystem without diversity is death.
I found serialization of typesafe IDs trivial in Kotlin with Jackson. We have a single generic supertype that has the correct annotation to tell Jackson to use the `value` field as the serialized value, and defines helpful methods like equals. Each new ID type is defined as a single line of code, simply inheriting from this base ID type and providing the actual underlying type (int, string, uuid).

Validators likewise are a non-issue. Jackson handles that automatically during the underlying type conversion, and Java won't allow you to construct a UUID that is invalid.

I see explicit conversion between types as a pro, not a con. If I'm going to take one ID and try to use it as an ID for a different type of entity, I'd better have a very good reason.

Again, I did this with a specific set of tools, but the functionality I used should be available in pretty much any language and serialization framework.

I’m sure as a percentage of extensions you’re probably right, but who installs extensions by browsing the entire catalog of extensions?

What I’d bet most people (including myself) do is search for extensions (assuming you don’t already know the exact one you want). My experience has almost always been that the extension I want isn’t available for safari (just chrome and Firefox), or is a shitty/old version of the chrome one.

So even if the $100 keeps some more junk out than on chrome, I still don’t get to use the extensions I want and the ones that are available aren’t great (albeit better than junk).

Arguing about China does not change the fact that Taiwan's economy is export driven, which was the point.

"Water cooling" is just a heat transfer method, so you need water, pump and external fan or large heat sink. I believe just a fan without water is enough unless you're LTT.

Possibly you mention about some manufacturer that advertises vapor chamber as "water cooling". I don't like their advertisement because it's just a improved heat pipe.
that's what i meant: by naming it a windows jdk they would not imply to be cross platform. they could then argue that they implemented the same sdk for their platform only. (interesting if Oracle tried to argue that the same logic should apply in this case too).

This reminds me of a couple of cute Yahoo! answers story.

In a past life I was misplaced by the high schools sorting-hat counselor into the house of civil engineering. I was motivated and so our Hydrology professor made me the TA for his Hydraulics class.

He would give me questions with no answers to go through in my sections. The questions were damn hard and I would sometimes ask them on Yahoo! answers and this particular guy from India would always come and answer them meticulously and write integrals using unholy script like: int(a,b)Sin x dx and such and I would happily decode them for half an hour before trying to understand the solution. Fun times.

A similar guy helped me a lot when I was learning C. Hey Manjunath! if you're reading this thanks I'm a software engineer now.
OK, I read the first bulletpoint and just thought "How did this get upvoted this much, this makes no sense":

> Money isn’t always decimal

> A common wisdom in database design is “never using floating-point numbers for money”. Some recommend using the MONEY datatype, while others tell you to use DECIMAL.

> Both of these are wrong. Sure, yeah, in the US and most of Europe, money is decimal.

> That’s certainly not the case in Japan – you can’t charge 2500.50 JP¥.

The author has a very odd definition of "Decimal". Integers are most certainly decimals. The fact that in Japan you can't charge fractions of a a yen doesn't mean that Decimal isn't actually an excellent choice to represent that currency, because it certainly can represent any yen value you would need. The whole reason you don't want to use float is because it cannot represent certain valid monetary values.

As others have pointed out, storing values as "the smallest division", e.g. pennies for USD, is just wrong, because there are many contexts where you have to represent fractions of a cent <insert Superman 3 joke here>.

Suburbs cannot compete with cities for fresh talent. Most businesses I know are opening city offices to Broaden their candidat pool. Its worth noting that sprawl legends like the Dc Metro area, San Fran and Boston lead the nation in job openings. Suburbs are demographically and geographically disadvantaged.
For compiled software, pretty much anything that isn't GPL is a no-go for me.

For non-compiled software (e.g. Javascript, PHP, Python, Perl, Shell), license doesn't matter to me since I can just see the damn code. Unless it's obfuscated.
This is not something I see in a city like Chicago. Even with a thinning population in the city proper, there are a wide variety of jobs reaching out from the city to the suburbs and more than adequate transportation with plenty of "walkable" neighborhoods. This is an interesting idea to explore, and I definitely have seen some more sprawling areas in this country (L.A., San Jose), but New York and Chicago don't fit under this umbrella from my point of view.

The article is also a little thin without concrete examples. Looking at other countries, parts of Japan are almost completely connected but this somehow works with the large amount of natural resources they have while also supporting a huge population. Economic measures have to look at more than just the monetary value of things. I know this looks at social and environmental factors, but there are network effects to consider too.

Another question: How much equity are you getting?

It's more complicated, there are a lot of details, don't take the numbers too seriously in the following sentence:

On the flip side, if the recruiter is a personal recommendation from someone you trust, and you don't feel comfortable negotiating salary or writing cover letters, they can be a quick way to get the ball rolling with several different companies. It's not like you can't research the companies that the recruiter is working with before applying.

That said, pixeloution's advice is spot on and applies to 90% of the recruiters you'll find via Google/LinkedIn/etc.

For whatever reason, there seems to be a number of Linux people on Google Plus, including Linus Torvalds.
Drive by suggestion here.

I think you should offer a first-class Linux experience with this laptop. It's a genuinely underserved market, with a lot of overlap for people who care about the repairability and upgradability which are core to your offering. A market with premium mind share, as well.

When I say first class, I mean something specific: you should spend some of your engineering budget making a really good driver Linux driver for your touchpad, and open source it. That would be huge. I'm sure your hardware is up to snuff, but your control over how good that feels in Windows is very limited.

There are a bunch of developers who have stuck with the Mac for essentially one reason, the touchpad.

Windows is dominant in laptops, but with distinct verticals, and I struggle to figure out which one this would fit into. Cheap semi-disposable laptop for a broke college student? Clearly this will cost more than that. Gaming? No way you'll have enough power and battery with that form factor. Excel ninjas who get it from work? Why would they care about expansion and repairability?

But "I'd rather be using Linux if the experience just sucked a little bit less" is underserved. Obviously you can't offer just Linux, and maybe licensing shenanigans with Microsoft mean you can't even consider this (although I really hope that's not a factor anymore).

Anyway. Good luck, it's a cool idea.
Actually they do. The first in most cases for affected kernels, the latter in many cases.

Many restaurant websites actually put an OpenTable link on their reservations page, directing traffic there.

That makes me think the restaurant prefers reservations to come in that way. They don't just see it as a secondary reservation system to bring in more customers, but the primary channel.

The added efficiency of OpenTable cannot be underestimated. Especially when trying to book something for a large group or at the last minute, being able to see availability across many restaurants in a single glance is critical. I'm not going to bother calling.

> But if you have the right to demand your data back from a company at any time, why shouldn't the company have the right to demand its own data back from YOU--music, books, movies?

Remember though, exporting my data from e.g. Facebook doesn't mean that Facebook doesn't have the data anymore. The same as selling me an mp3 doesn't mean that the record label or Amazon doesn't have one less unit of inventory to sell to someone else.

You're completely right that

and your writer customer is also free to state that he will prefer sites that allow him to export his data.

Also, I'd like to know what you think about the cellphone plan example in the original example? It seems like a good example of an informed customer being able to get a better deal, but there is little incentive for the providers to supply this data. I posit that this is where it crosses the line from "nice to have" into a right.

I've never known Russian government to bother even doing THAT.
Does anyone really trust Russia? Or China? Or N. Korea? Or most of Africa? Or any country where the government is sufficiently closed and non-democratic?

Look at how slanted, jaded, corrupt and inept the US gov't has become and we have much more visibility into those dealings. Not to mention a refresh of power every so often and bloodless changeovers of power. I can't imagine living in a place where you actively fear your government...

One thing I always say to myself when I start to really rail on the US/AU/UK/Can etc is that they are still orders of magnitude better places to live than Russia, China or other places of the sort.
f.lux is great when it works, but if you plug into an external monitor at all, it seems to stop working automatically. I'd go three days and suddenly realise that I'm staring at a very blue screen at 11pm. This is on a Mac, it might be fine on other platforms.

>Income isn't distributed, but earned.

Simply, no. Income distribution is political. The kind of inequalities highlighted in the article were much lower in the past because of political decisions in the even more distant past.

Then they became higher because of more recent political lobbying and manipulation.

Only the most naive misunderstanding of economics ignores these kinds of political factors.

IMO being "10x" or whatever is not really about productivity or skill, or rather, those are necessary but not sufficient. What it really comes down to is doing the work that makes other developers more productive. In other words, the 10x developer doesn't output ten times as many lines of code or complete ten times as many stories. They simply make everyone else's life a little easier by identifying and working on the important stuff.

So if I put my bitcons on MyBitcoin.com, I'm under the impression that they have complete control over my wallet. Just like if I gave my wallet to someone and asked them to please accept payments on my behalf. Correct? That's an awful lot of trust to put in a random website. If they decide to run the website until they are sitting on enough coins and then just transfer them to themselves, is any court going to believe me when I claim they stole my money??

The fundamental problem I have with Bitcoin web transactions is that it requires trusting the other party, since I can't exchange the goods at the same time. How do I make that determination and what recourse do I have if I'm defrauded? This would seem to be the fundamental obstacle to adoption to me.
Great game. A little QA: your enemies are speaking a mix of German and English, and the signage is English. When you follow woogley's advice and change the sprites out, make sure exit becomes Ausgang. Some enemies say "fire!" instead of "feur!", and some say "stop!" instead of "halt!"

Oddly enough, I came to post exactly that. To spare anyone having to hunt up the obsoleted movie to find the strategy (which hasn't changed in the newest movie, which merely improves luck manipulation), here's a link to their strategy which tells you all the rolls they used: http://tasvideos.org/988S.html

Actually, there were two routes and the one that would, in theory, be faster ended up being slower because they would have been forced to wait too long for the dice to hit the right numbers. Lest you think that's easy, I suggest looking up the TAS of the Shining Force games. The videos are incredibly boring. The interesting part are the complex process they've gone through to disassemble the random number routines and manipulate them to their benefit. They actually have complex programs in Lua, Matlab or possibly a few other things to optimize the randomness for them, which are pretty crazy.

One such discussion of the complex end of luck manipulation can be found here: http://tasvideos.org/2258S.html

And the scripts it mentioned are in the forums proper. There may be more (I haven't read the whole thread), but a lot of them can be found here if anyone is interested:

It's a LOT more involved than you might expect.
risk and reward are commensurate in a free market, otherwise someone will arbitrage until it does. the man who risks only .00001% of his wealth only stands to gain .000001% of his wealth. yes, banks are able to diversify their risk over a huge number of borrowers, thus they are able to offer much lower rates than would ever be realistic in a scenario that 1-to-1 matched specific borrowers and lenders. they thus make more capital intensive ventures more accessible.
I always wondered how they shot the season finale of House MD with a Canon 5D, now I know.

Summary: DSLRs can't autofocus when shooting video. On movie sets there are people hired to pull focus manually, so it's not a problem for Hollywood. You are better off using a camcorder or even a compact camera.
This is actually a pretty good comparison, and I can get behind his critique of the iPhone's mail app.

It's worth noting, though, that several of his major issues with the iPhone will disappear with OS 4.0, such as undesired screen rotation and lack of app switching (though only for 3GS or newer phones). The mail app will also get improvements like conversations, though I don't know how good its implementation is compared to Android's. I wasn't particularly impressed by it.
> This is actually a pretty good comparison, and I can get behind his critique of the iPhone's mail app.

Likewise. On the other hand, I find interesting that (I think) he compared the iPhone's mail application with Android's GMail application. I was under the impression that Android's own mail application (for everything other than GMail) was less than stellar, but that it would be a better comparison basis (general-purpose MUA)

> The mail app will also get improvements like conversations

I was under the impression that it would only provide threaded view (much like Mail.app's own), which is a far cry from GMail-type conversation views. A nice improvement for e.g. mailing lists, but not the same thing as GMail's convos.
My brother when he was in college had a writing instructor that said if a student used "you" in a paper then they better buy her flowers.
I don't think it helps at all, maybe a little bit of publicity but I think if that is your goal, you may be better served to place efforts elsewhere. I would wager posting on HN has better odds of landing you a job due to exposure than Stack Overflow. In the end networking is the golden rule for finding employment. HN or Stack Overflow can be used to that end, you just have to remember to foster relationships in the community. Doing so will pay far more dividends that pure knowledge displays.
Spotify did a great job of alienating me as a potential user. Here was my experience:

- heard of Spotify

- went to Spotify.com, read something like "Download our thing and play all this Free Music!"

- downloaded their thing

- opened their thing to find an iTunes clone. With no Free Music anywhere to be found.

I spent the better part of 10 minutes trying to figure out how to get it to find and play some of this Free Music before giving up.

I can only assume that most of their potential users are going through the same thing. If so, it's not surprising that they're bleeding money so fast.
Yes, it would be a lot more appropriate for things that don't change that frequently.
