My MBA. I did comp sci for undergrad.

You bring up a good point that the undergrad and graduate curriculums should probably be different. However, they need to offer intro classes for the majority of subjects because most students won't know accounting and finance even if they've been in the working world for awhile beforehand. I think the clear advantage to the graduate program is that you can study only business. While I suppose I can have more intelligent conversations with other college-educated folk because I had to read Kant, Bentham, etc., I wouldn't mind having skipped all those philosophy classes in undergrad. There are also more advanced classes in the graduate business curriculum. I'm not sure what it is exactly about the curriculum that you see as problematic or would suggest changing.
It is better. He has no idea what he's talking about.
I've seen this behavior many times in 100% US dev teams. This happens because it tends to be the "easy" way out.

Hmm...there's a problem with this code. It looks like changing this index to start at 5 works. OK, bug fixed!
please don't split your articles.

however, it was a good read. thanks.
For what it's worth I lived in LA for several years after graduating college. Dispite playing in bands and being knee deep in the music industry I found that almost all of the new music I was introduced to as being "great" really sucked, notwithstanding the awesome stuff my late 20's roommate had on his CD rack. This was about 9 years ago.

Fast forward to today, and I've found more great DJs and bands based in Seattle in the past 4 months than I did the entire two years I lived in LA. And the 4 months before that, and the 4 months before that. And this is dwarfed by all the great music new being made all around the world.

I find most of my music through fliers, last.fm friends, hyperlocal news and forums dedicated to particular subgenres. We're so much better networked than we were a decade ago that not being amazed at what is being made (and what has been made under your nose) shows a lack of being hooked into that network, not that great art isn't being made today.

It's easy to mourn the death of an industry. Some really great people were involved in making and promoting some really great things. But it's silly to expect the death of art. The kids are alright.
Thanks for posting this. What do you use for handling the recurring billing?

Actually that only applies to LGPL libraries -- pure GPL doesn't allow dynamic linking, even. (That's the most common interpretation anyway, and the reason why LGPL exists.)
I'm not sure what difference this makes. I understand that bandwidth is limited by transfer rate and not data transferred, but there is still a limit which the company does not wish to reach.

Even if such a fuel tank existed, would it be unreasonable for BP to charge by the litre of fuel removed? I think it'd be the most sensible way to avoid demand overriding supply, rather than charging everyone increasing amounts for access to the fuel source.
It looks like "Logan's Run" is relevant again ...

It's beautiful outside but you are not allowed to go because we must control you.

Go outside, get some vitamin D, get your heart rate up, expose your immune system to something other than dust mites.
I'm in the process of doing that... however, for now access requires a user and password which could change over time so I'd prefer not to post it here publicly. If you email I'll provide the access, no strings attached. I'm looking to get some feedback from the report as well.
I thought you might know of one, specifically, that binds Office '07 to Windows (and not simply a faithful reimplementation of WinAPI).
I just quit a job where I was mostly doing BASIC, but I got to do a bit of PHP here and there.

PHP is more like driving a modern automatic. No, it's not as fun as a six-speed, but it is fairly relaxing.

BASIC, now that's like a rundown 1970s Ford.
Useless data point: Apple's CEO Steve Jobs has a salary of just $1/year. They seem to be doing pretty well...
Originally, IB was the IDE, but you edited your code using TextEdit (which had a programmer's mode) or Emacs or VI. Later (1995?) they added Project Builder as a more traditional IDE (class and method browsing, code completion, integrated debugger, etc.)

Project Builder had 3 windows: a single window for managing the project and editing source code, one window for the debugger, and one window for compilation. This is the "Default" layout in XCode. XCode also has "Condensed" layout, in which the project and source code windows are separate, and "All-In-One" layout, in which project, source, debug, and build modes are contained within a single window.
If, say, they were transformers which could go from a boxy robot shape to a more hydrodynamic form, then it might truly be conformation bias to see a preponderance of the nautical forms on the beach.
Go to Adobe board room, tell them about your great format that will empower artists to use their documents in competing applications.
Right. The specific part that made me second-guess it was a counterintuitive statement about Microsoft's support to Linux, not the choice of words or nontechnical background of the author.
The Haskell compiler is free to use in-place mutations, when it can prove that nobody can access the old object any longer.

The language Clean supports this notion explicitly in its type system (and uses it for IO, instead of, say, Monads like Haskell).
Personally I only want to follow people that:

a.) I know personally

b.) Tweets in such a way that interests me more than 50% of the time

So I don't actually pay attention to who follows me, and I only currently follow 14 people (though a few more follow me)

What I would say, however, is that I disagree with your "< 3 tweets/day" - I know what you're aiming at, plenty of people tweet WAY too much (I suspect I do, now and then), but there are plenty of reasons for more than three interesting tweets in a day, and it's quite possible for someone to tweet more than three times a day on a regular basis without it being annoying or pointless.
Hey, I want this for my iPhone, too.
Yeah I ran into the same issue, but it went away eventually.

The reason people do their startups here is because there are several related, overlapping professional and social scenes spanning 2+ generations.

From a less cynical perspective, the fact of the matter is that compared to anywhere I'm aware of, the Bay Area has a much stronger culture of entrepreneurs assisting each other. There's a much stronger culture of what could perhaps be framed as mentorship, with a large population of people who have been in the game for a long time and are still engaged as founders, executives, or investors. It's also probably one of the few places where there's a widespread acceptance that innovation means experimenting with risky business models without being forced to constantly focus on short-term revenue.

From a more cynical perspective, in many cases for younger or newer founders, this means it's easier to climb the social ladder and be in the "tech entrepreneur" scene. It feels exciting and the money flowing around between young people (something that doesn't exist everywhere) makes everything seem more real than it is. I also think it's far easier to inflate the value of companies here for a variety of reasons.
I've lived in SF for going on 30 years now, and can tell you that this(moving to SF in your 20's) was true even before the first dotcom boom. Lots of folks moved here to live out "their wild years" before returning back to where ever they came from. I got really lucky in that I bought a house before the first boom, and the equity has made it possible to stay here, but there's no way I'd be able to do the same thing today. I really worry about where my kids will live when they get older.
I'm not sure wether to chalk that up to ignorance or just a cultural understanding of the word. I realize here in the US, "Concentration Camp" has become synonymous with the Nazi death camps. However, a concentration camp is just another word for a place to intern people. A death camp is where people are sent do die.
> How do you know they don't have a button to push to make it give a false positive so they can hold people?

I've never been in the US, but when I travel (Europe, MENA), I am always chosen by airport security, even in my own country when leaving, for an additional search (less annoying than a TSA patdown I read of, but still), and when I asked recently why is it always me, a guy answered I was randomly selected by the gate. Got to start buying lottery tickets.
> since women elect to marry men who make more than them more often than the reverse

That's mostly a function of income disparity, not of personal choice.

There will always be the "high quality app" sector, and ads are simply too ugly to fit in with the carefully tailored user interfaces of the high end apps, even if Apple does make a few changes to make the ads look at least a little bit more aesthetically pleasing.
> If we want people to have a certain quality of life at work, I don't see any purpose directing any energy at certain large employers. All efforts should be direct to politicians, who we can vote in, to provide that quality of life at work.

The US did that and the governments solutions was to pass laws allowing for unions. By unionizing these employees are doing the thing the government has already determined will help them.
If you’re just using analytics to look at how effective UI designs are in making business conversions, couldn’t you still measure that by checking the backend and looking for a spike in activity towards the API endpoint that the UI invokes? Couldn’t you measure effectivity with a spike or drop in sales? I mean, good UX doesn’t so much rely on Google Analytics but on a UX engineer’s depth of knowledge about human psychology.
Numerous studies say union workers make more on average even accounting for dues. I'll give you 1.[1]

Unions have to disclose financial statements. Leaders can't just raid the strike fund. And there won't be a strike fund unless most members vote for it.

I love starting with HTML and creating a design that composes HTML fragments (partial HTML). It creates affordances. But relying on WebSockets as the communication strategy really reduces the number of use cases where this is sustainable in many dimensions. Perhaps, instead of following all of the advice in this article, start with HTML fragments via Content Negotiation. Compose UI experiences over stateless HTTP first. Then build upon that foundation instead.
This rhetoric is bad, but even worse is how the $500 is portrayed. At first glance, I interpreted it to be $500 over a much shorter duration, like on a monthly basis, versus ~$10/week, which even at $15/hr seems manageable enough if it means higher wages, better treatment and/or benefits.

That Amazon is fighting this so hard should signal that there is something meaningful to be gained by the workers. Hopefully they recognize this and succeed in organizing. The biggest question I would have is does Amazon pull a Walmart and just shutter the FC if they succeed?
I wonder why multiple people read his comment as pro Pinkertons (pro AMZN etc.)

I read it as "Yep and Amazon are not the only large company that use them, so watch out! If Facebook employees ever want to unionize, Pinkertons might/will be sent after them too".
That's quite surprising; I've found the ads to be fairly unobtrusive compared to almost any other website. I would prefer there to be a text only mode though - every so often, the ad repaint will cause the UI to "jump".
Lots of people do jobs that they hate. It’s common in practically every industry.
Mark it spam. This is becoming a mantra for me. Companies don’t respect marketing consent preferences, or just don’t provide an option. If you didn’t ask for an email about a specific transaction, it’s spam.
Yeah, if only because HK rioters actually assaulted and seriously injured people. They absolutely destroyed govt property too.

They literally wanted to abolish work. It would not really be valuable to go and dig up an old reddit post to confirm this sentiment was present in the community, there are thousands of them.

I did the JPMorgan Chase Internship a couple of weeks ago and I enjoyed it! Some bits (last 2 tasks) I was guided a bit too much through the PDFs but I definitely couldn't have done the tasks without them (maybe there should be a middle ground, give me the basics and let me finish the task?).

In terms of hiring, InsideSherpa mentions that I can give permission for recruiters to look at my work. This kind of put me off submitting an application for their internship. I guess it's the feeling of that they will look at my code and see that it's identical to the PDFs. I don't feel like my code will be able to differentiate me against other people. Also, since I followed the guide too much, if I was questioned on anything about the virtual internship in an interview, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to answer it. Maybe it's just me and not InsideSherpa, and a sign that I should be solving the problems on my own without their guides.

Despite this, it is a good program. It gave me insights on what I would maybe be working on at JPMorgan. The reply rate/time of InsideSherpa's software engineers was high/quick and I was able to get assistance quickly. It exposed me technologies that I've heard of but never used before.
I look forward to your Nobel Prize establishing this.
If you want some irony, from the "dotgov.gov" website linked in the post:

>An official website of the United States government. Here's how you know:

>The .gov means it's official. Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil. Before sharing sensitive information, make sure you're on a federal government site.
If this irritates you then you should also read about how Larry Ellison owns 80% of a Hawaiin island. I can envision the world's prettiest places eventually closed to the public and existing for the sole enjoyment of billionaires and their future generations.
> The cull will not affect Twitter's reported user numbers, as the firm bases its usage level only on users who log-in at least once a day. According to its latest earnings report, from September, Twitter has 145m "monetisable" daily active users (users who come into contact with Twitter's advertising on a daily basis).
An alarming amount of societal functionality depends on what effectively amounts to the honor system. This is especially true when it comes to any sort of gatekept specialty profession, like coroners for example.

The other thing I'd add into something like this is, by analogy, objection orientation is all about binding data to functions and calling it a "method", but what it's really about is what you then build out of that, like the classic Design Patterns. When you program in OO, you don't sit here thinking to yourself "OK, I'm calling a method, wooo! OK, I'm calling another method! Wooo!"

Similarly, this is just the baseline stuff, the really interesting stuff comes out of what you build from that, which varies depending on the precise flavor of functional you are talking about. What's really interesting is what you build out of this stuff; you hardly ever sit there and go "Wooo, I'm mapping! Wooo, I'm reducing! Wheeee!" In fact you can write a lot of Haskell without ever writing the (local equivalent of the) word "reduce" or "filter" because you're always actually using something using that under the hood. (map I do end up using directly with some frequency. And I'm not saying I never use fold or filter directly, but it is often actually under the hood somewhere while you use something yet more declarative.)
I use Safari solely because of this reason. It would cost me too much time to remember/retype all of my passwords, especially if it is a intranet type application that demands a password seemingly time I get a link and won't stay logged in for a reasonable time.
Yes, diagnosis of disorders that manifest mostly as behavioral differences is hard. But even if we had complete genome information for all human beings on planet Earth, we still might have trouble with individual diagnosis. That's because identical (monozygotic) twins are often discordant for many kinds of diseases and disorders, including autism.
Well, according to this article about a recent study:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2013/11/07...

Japan has the lowest rate of diagnosed cases of depression of any country in the world (<2.5%). Of course, there could be other causes for this, and the accuracy of how well the diagnosed rate represents the actual rate is an open question. In particular, in east asian countries thre seems to be a cultural taboo against admitting mental illness and seeking treatment in order to get diagnosed in the first place. The fact that Japan has one of the highest suicide rates of any country in the world is an especially telling statistic that the diagnosed rate may not be telling us everything.

I'm not sure why people are downvoting you, because you are absolutely right. StackOverflow was built for questions like this; but these questions are not the main reason Hacker News exists.

Pointing the person to a resource that could help him better is valuable. Upvoted.
As Commander in Chief of the US military (as determined by the Constitution), it makes sense for him to have that power. However, shutting down parts of the Internet is unconstitutional because as far as I'm aware, it doesn't grant that power to the President (and by "that power", I don't mean specifically shutting down the Internet. I mean the idea behind it).

Yeah, the one where he tried to recruit hitmen made him seem a lot less idealistic. Maybe it's just me.
I suspect, although I cannot prove, that this change might also be the result of more people taking hand luggage than ever before.

In 2014 almost every single inter-US airline charges for checked bags. Most charge $25/per direction (regardless of legs). In the past few years fewer and fewer airlines give free checked luggage, and many even dropped the "free with platinum" "free with credit card" offers.

So I suspect that the increases are down to simply more carry on bags. Plus it might be easier to forget one in a carry on bag, since you could be re-using your day bag or your camping bag, which might just always have a firearm in it.

While you could just as easily forget the gun in a checked bag, it is less likely people routinely leave guns in those bags to begin with so there is little to forget.

I will say the X-Ray machines are a little smarter. They now colour-code everything by material type, so metals stick out a little more, so that might help also.
