That's why I would expect a reporter to, when introduced to a bunch of technical people to ask, "what? there's a technical side?"

Then we could talk about how we make systems to help the editorial team sort through the 16,000 content submissions we get every day, or how we have a public API so people can submit funny content from their applications.

The "wordpress blog with cats on it" is a very shallow view of the company. There's a lot more going on than that.
The Soviets did preliminary mapping. The Chinese "private" sector did more detailed charts, which were undoubtedly intercepted by NATO intelligence in country.

I must embarrassingly say that you're wholly correct, the United States was rather late to arrive at this party.
The lack of sharp edges are what make it safe for everyday users!
From the last part of Myth #6: ... "programming in C" ... "form groups whose net effectiveness is greater than the sum of their parts."

Wow, I wonder what planet he's from? Someone should buy him a copy of The Mythical Man-Month.
I'm no criminal, but I'd imagine they would use similar or even homemade versions of military/fireman gear. Surplus gas masks, oxygen tanks, scuba gear, a hose running out a broken window. As for getting around, very powerful handheld lights, those proximity beepers made for the blind, compressed air to temporarily let you see/read something, getting really good at marko-polo. Maybe these ideas wouldn't work but it only took me 4 minutes to think of them, who knows what somebody else could come up with?
I got this link from Slashdot:

But don't hold that against me. :-)

I clicked around a bit in the linked psx-scene forums and it looked like there was a decent basis for it.
I agree with you but there is nothing that prevents browser vendors from making the extension available I believe. I do wish the WebGL standard would support extensions a little better. I've also seen a lot of request for things like 3D textures. We will have to see how it goes.

This is after all version 1.0 of the standard. I don't see why 1.1 can't include optional support for OES_texture_float.

Does the iPad support it? I know a lot of android phones do too. So no reason it should be barred.
Google Documents is the first thing that comes to mind.

You can register a domain for your group and provide e-mail accounts, a document sharing space, shared calendar and lots of other goodies to all of you for free.

As for a "real" CMS, I love Plone, but not many more do ;-)
Hard to say without more details but:

If your service has a real professional end user (i.e. someone who will make a living off your service), a multiple tier one seems a better fit. For example look at smugmug - they have their free account, a couple of paid accounts aimed at "serious" users, and a professional account aimed at people selling photography.

Evernote has only one paid service but that matches their usage base - either free/casual users, or people who have bought into the whole "second brain" idea. But note that the evernote paid account is still reasonably priced.
I owe you my thanks, I used your site years ago when I first discovered the Bugle and was religiously listening to all the older episodes that had fallen off the Times feed.
Yelp is hiring for everything from web development to machine learning and data mining (the stuff I work on). It's a great place to work -- a smart, small team, a fun culture, the usual startup perks, and a great office in the middle of San Francisco.

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that there very well should be Chrome OS devices which run on ARM after it launches (just not the prototype developer device Google just released).
> Pay them appropriately.

By paying them appropriately, I assume you mean at a market hourly rate?

That's one of the two contexts where I as a developer would be interested in working more than a 40-50 hour week.

The other context would be where I had substantial ownership and believed in the product.
Another option for this particular example would have been to use pre-existing ncurses bindings, e.g., https://github.com/tncardoso/gocurses which somewhat simplifies things.
The gravitational field points at where the object would be, given its current velocity.

This is not to say that the object will actually end up there. If the velocity changes, the gravitational field changes direction according to the new velocity. The change propagates at the speed of light.
"The federal gov't has not been harrasing people in states that have legalized pot nearly as much in the previous administartion."

This is mostly true. Unfortunately that has been the extent of the progress. And the administration still routinely makes threats against states that are thinking about reforming their drug laws.

"The cops in this story are local, not the FBI."

* Many local police departments get funding from the feds if they to spend it on drug enforcement. The vast majority of cities that get offered this money can't afford to turn it down, because it also gets used to keep the rest of the town afloat.

* The fact that drugs are illegal on the federal level strongly discourages local governments from legalizing drugs. Many citizens are afraid that the feds will start conducting raids in their town or find a way to cut off their highway funds or otherwise penalize them. Elected officials are afraid of getting sent to jail if they legalize drugs in their towns, even though technically it's perfectly legal.
I honestly thought you'd posted a snippet of smalltalk or lisp or something for a second there. I think some people refer to that as a "brainfart."

(Note that I have no practical knowledge of either language. I probably wouldn't have admitted this if I did.)
You're completely missing the point.

You wouldn't leak to The New York Times because they have no secure mechanism of any kind for leaking.

WikiLeaks is not just a two-bit news outlet looking for stories. They continue to maintain one of the most innovative and secure systems in the world for leaking sensitive materials.
I'm more frustrated with the cost of the iPhone and iPad applications than I am the lack of OTA sync.
I use write room because it really helps me focus on the page/words. Though it would be nice if you could lock it so it can't be minimized for a certain amount of time. Still best writing environment.

Issues only arise if the language designer wants to use spaces for something else as well (like function application).
The UX team at the LDS church is second to none. They made a concerted effort several years ago to hire the best (within certain ecclesiastical constraints) and I think they've succeeded. I would hire any of them.

They have a strongly, user-driven dev process that brings high fidelity mock-ups into the process well before development starts. UX works directly with the customers (different organizations in the church) to make sure they get what that want, leaving the program managers to ensure delivery.

The underlying CMS (which I worked on), on the other hand, is something else. :)

RadPower are all hub motors and fall into that category of more scooter / motorcycle than bicycle. With enough sensors and computer smarts they can almost emulate mid drive bike type feeling, but it never quite gives you that bicycle first, motor second feel.

For people who want a bicycle for a bicycle and are going to use it, you may want to save up for a mid drive bike.
A relatively capable browser, with DOM and JavaScript. I test with it regularly.
I feel like the entire point of a BDFL is that they can just ignore this sort of thing and make the hard call, but it never happened.
I honestly don’t mind the redesign, it is more aesthetically pleasing and allows people who weren’t used to old school BBS/top sites a more familiar UX. But the implementation of these designs is terrible, constantly I run into errors when even just /upvoting/ a post.

Think about that, the one thing that is Reddit’s most basic functionality, that has been there since the beginning and should be so tested it works 100% of the time, throws more errors today than it did 7 years ago when I began using Reddit (I seldom, if at all, remember getting errors from just upvoting a post before 2-3 years ago.)
There's been a kind of anti-electric-car trend of late pushed by some concerned by climate change. I think this is a massive mistake.

Electric cars are good PRECISELY because they don't require a lifestyle change. That means you won't get a massive pushback.

Because this can't be about just convincing the convincible, folks who already don't have kids and who live in cities. We need to actually transform all of America. Who mostly DON'T live in places where they could feasibly get rid of their car.

Electric cars are a miracle. Cleaning the grid we absolutely know how to do (the grid is 30% cleaner than it was a decade ago, and we've barely been trying). They allow us to electrify in-place. That minimizes the political constraints to climate action in a way that literally nothing else does.

But what I worry people will take from articles like this is that if they don't bike, they might as well just get a conventional car. This couldn't be further from the truth.

Willing to relocate: No, but planning to move

Technologies: Historically, Rust and React/JS have been the main ones, but would love to branch out, especially in the functional direction. I am interested in working with any number of FP languages -- Scala, Clojure, Haskell, even slightly esoteric ones including ML and Elm.

After 5 years of experience developing software full-time, I am interested in joining a productive company with a strong mission and strong engineering culture. The exact vertical is not important, as I've worked in automotive, analytics, and healthcare with success. My skills have been proven primarily through building interfaces and tooling, as well as some full stack and backend development. Previous tech lead experience. Hopefully I can bring a unique perspective to the team.
This story is just as enjoyable today as it was when it was posted on SA.
The other day I typed out a huge response to an argument I was having only for me to be redirected upon clicking submit to the page that says something like, “logging you in,” which redirected me to the front page where I was logged out. When I’d click on the login button I would then be looped through the same “logging you in page,” until I just gave up and decided the conversation wasn’t worth it.

I totally agree that this is annoying but I can't help read this situation and think that I would look back at it like "hm I'm kinda glad it did that", hahaha
That's an interesting point. I suspect the main reason people aren't using those capabilities of Bitcoin more frequently is that no one has spent the time to make the UX good.

Unfortunately, that's also basically true of every consumer-oriented open source project ever. I'm not sure why it's the case, but it does seem that good UX requires a profit motive.
It's a commodity part that you can pick up at many hardware stores, and if the filters you get are different size from the article, it's easy to modify the design to match. Contrast to, say, a Dyson air purifier: you need to buy Dyson-brand filters (or a knock-off).

I've used Blender to build models for simulations and generated image/video data for training deep segmentation and image models, but it's all science related. Nothing that would help a software developer - I think that's too broad a label anyway.
So, where do we go from here ?
> We've had companies since the middle ages, and none of them exist now.

I totally agree, but it's not strictly true that none of them exist anymore: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoshi_Ryokan
I've gone through and read all the comments below, and am pretty overwhelmed by the hopes, the energy, and the tenacity of so many of you. I am a 35 year old first time entrepreneur, but I'm a citizen, so I can relate to some of the pressure - but only a tiny bit. But that's not what I wanted to comment on - I wanted to comment on the fact that I am blown away by those of you making a go of this...you make this country great even when it makes it hard for you. We are lucky to have you.
I'm also a Rimuhosting customer, with a single VPS I've been gradually scaling up -- I've had very smooth sailing in terms of reliability over the past few years, they offer a discount if you participate in any OSS development, and the techs have been a great help in resolving the questions I've had while getting everything set up how I want it.

I've also noticed that periodically when I'm researching server setup-related questions, Google points me to their resource pages, which seems like a good sign.
It has been enormously helpful for me to have Internet peers on the Business of Software boards, HN, and the like. Having someone to talk to helps with motivation, practical advice, and maintaining your sanity while doing something that 99% of the people who know you in real life think is totally out-of-your-mind bonkers.
I listened to his first and last songs and too me his voice sounds almost the same (taking in consideration the age difference).
I think it's partially our self confidence that influences our talents. After 15 year he says, "Yeah, I practiced so much, for SURE I'm much better!" and from now on he is the best. He radiates confidence because he now knows he is good and people around him feel it as well and think he is great.

Actually, I think you might be better looking elsewhere for help with depression. In my own experience, and that of other people I know, psychological factors have always been the main cause of depression, and resolving them results in curing the depression. The problem is that it isn't always easy to identify the factors causing the depression.

As for the science: we do know that both psychological stressors and infections both cause inflammation. Stress results in activation of the HPA axis and sympathetic nervous system, which screws up the immune system in various ways (including inflammation). Conversely, having a severe infection can make you feel depressed.

It's really just a theory that inflammation causes depression. I think it's more likely that it's a result of cortisol and/or neurotransmitters (i.e. too much brain activity). Cortisol seems a more likely candidate for being central to depression in my opinion.

The science here seems to be based on a desire to have a physical rather than a psychological cause for depression. Michael Maes has a history of that (see his CFS publications).
This honestly sounds pretty harmful to give as advice to anyone.

My uncle used to follow something similar he read online (in Australia) and was convinced he could live a healthy life eating only grapes. He was admitted to hospital after only eating grapes for 7 months and refused all other food. Shortly after he died of Pneumonia.
And the added maintenance and complexity. I think the Volt has shown that there is not a market here.
I wish to believe that. I'd expect it of good engineers.

However, I don't trust systems to remain as robust as initially designed, after decades of undergoing constant pressure to reduce costs, make things more (fiscally) efficient, "cut out fat", etc.
Also note that it’s an urban myth:

Isn't green public transport better for the environment than electric cars? I understand they went for cars because it's Elon's vision and he doesn't seem to be the kind of guy that would ride in the subway.
Yes. You've got a couple of options, even:

[2] so (Rust): https://github.com/samtay/so
I think the main use rn is to flight capital from countries with restrictions like China.
Because the recruiter gives names to the company of "here are the people I gave your contact info to" and the company makes sure that those people only go through the recruiter.

I've had recruiters tell me right upfront which company they are dealing with.
golang is a great language for devops to automate infrastructure tasks, but for application dev not so much
Exactly

The best debunkings are the ones that were done carefully and failed
Well, I want Go to have refcounting instead of current GC, so my programs could guaranty latency. Single-threaded runtime, without all the locks, slow channels, races and so on, because there is no point in so much overhead and complexity for the majority of programs. More consistency couldn't hurt, so I wouldn't have to assign anonymous function to a variable just to return it. Fast regular expressions compiled by the language compiler into a native code could improve matching, parsing and validating consistency, instead of writing lots of loops everywhere. Compiler warnings instead of errors on unused variables, imports, etc. to allow faster prototyping. Better testing culture with meaningful test names and line numbers with actual failed tests. Table testing suggested by Golang team doesn't even support that with the means of standard library, you have to use your own runtime.Caller(1) wrapper.

But generics? "Safer" type system? No, that's unnecessary complexity. As others pointed out, we already have Haskell and Rust for all those things.
I dislike it when people say languages are either 'practical' or 'well designed'. As if a language is only useful if it's not built on sound mathematical ideas ...

Generics are not a particularly new idea and nobody who uses language that implement them yearn for the days when they weren't around.

See Paul's post on the idea that 'worse is better': http://pchiusano.github.io/2014-10-13/worseisworse.html
I'm a UT honors EE graduate and co-founded JobSpice (YC S09). I will admit that going through the UT system is not conducive to starting a startup -- you kind of have to break the mold.

The classes that are taught are great if you want to work for a large company because for the most part, the professors at the undergraduate level do a good job of teaching what's needed for those type of careers but do not actively promote entrepreneurship.

I was lucky in that my advisor encouraged me to go my own direction, and I started JobSpice less than a year after I graduated but wish I would have started something during my time at UT. The problem lies more in the culture that UT promotes at the classroom level. In addition, outside of Michael Dell, you don't hear stories about past students creating companies in their dorm room like you do at MIT, Stanford or Harvard.
efreedom is annoying and they are not the only site with http://stackoverflow.com/ data. I don't even want to link to the other sites.

If you are using chrome, you might be interested in this extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gledhololmniapejef...

There might be such extensions for other browsers, I don't really know of any.

Do you have a library with the translations? Or do you have the funds to aggregate them? If not then basically that is never going to happen.

If you just want to make a nicer looking Google Translate Page you could do that with HTMl, CSS, JavaScript. You would end up talking to this: http://code.google.com/intl/de/apis/language/translate/v2/ge...
As far as I know the black box in your car just holds onto the data immediately before a crash. That said, the police can pretty much timestamp your every movement using EZ Pass.
If the PlugBot would have two Ethernet ports, working as a completely transparent bridge, shutting down ports and enabling 802.1X won't help much. Bot will just patiently wait for target to authenticate, then proceed with IP and MAC spoofing for its operations (filtering on the bridge).

802.1X-2010 and MACsec would address this issue, but they require more expensive hardware and not yet widely supported.
I think for most people writing a search engine is overkill when there are existing options out there.

If you want to search a subset of sites, then Google CSE is really all you need + whatever bells & whistles you'd like to add around it. I've done that here: http://searchESLCafe.com, adding "recent searches", search via wildcard subdomain (i.e. foo.searchESLCafe.com or bar.searchESLCafe.com or foo_bar.searchESLCafe.com, etc), and customizing the heck out of Google CSE's options.

Is there a demand out there for the search engine to parse the results into something informative at-a-glance? I'm not so sure it's the user's first priority. Or, to put it another way, there's plenty of hard-to-reach info out there that you can hand users via a customized Google CSE, and they don't mind doing the leg-work of clicking on the query results and finding their own answers.

It's a lot more important to have an accurate search algorithm than drill-down-related bells & whistles.

Google does a great job of returning solid results for any subset of sites, so why not let Google handle it, and concentrate on the other stuff?
In the US, we (as a collective) hold sacrosanct the rights of a person against illegal searches and self-incrimination, as well as the 'innocent until proven guilty' doctrine. The idea is that it's better to let a criminal go than to convict an innocent person.

Disallowing illegally obtained evidence also has the effect of discouraging the police from illegally obtaining evidence in the first place and reducing opportunities for corruption. Of course, in this case it didn't work out so well, but you would see a lot more stories like this if sources of evidence weren't important.
Correction: There are very few people who are so disabled they are unable to work long term.

But I don't know what the numbers look like at any given point in time. I imagine someone who understands the U1-6 scale would probably have a slightly better view.

But my point was merely because a study that says overall people who don't have jobs watch tv shouldn't be taken as a statement of unemployed laziness until someone has actually taken demographic data of the people within that group, as "unemployed" is a huge group. I can think of numerous possibly-counted-as-unemployed groups where one of the few common denominator activities would be TV, like, say, students.
It's no worse than reddit, but it is a marker of low class status.
