Well, because it is an editor with refactoring ability, debugger integration, proper autocomplete and typechecking, linting, etc.

At that point it’s probably as much an IDE as NetBeans is an IDE. It’s not nearly as powerful as normal VS, but still.
If he uses regular rules for allowable modifiers (e.g., "-er" can be added to a verb that is in the base list, to form a noun that is refers to the agent of the action described by the verb, then "filler" would be allowed if "fill" but not "filler" was on the list, but only to refer to the actor who causes something to be filled, rather than thing with which something is filled.)

I certainly think its clear (and even implicit in his own descriptions) that the exact methodology is not disclosed, but I don't think its far to say simply "he cheated".

I would not call low qualified engineers, by there is a lot of mismatch. For eg. more and more H1Bs look like App based like SAP, Oracle, Business Intelligence etc. kind of skills set. There are some Application General purpose programmers and far few System level programmers. H1-B (in Outsourcing shops) talent pool is not such a Gold mine when you take into account the kind of skill-set needed for start-ups. Its a needle in the hay-stack situation. But some companies and some talent may very well benefit from this but not at a scale that would change the dynamics.

our production is built using docker-compose. But it is still not as easy for a developer to get started using docker-compose and be as effective as installing the code on his desktop.

I know I'm nitpicking here, but it would be great to have an abstraction on top of Dockerfiles that make it possible to develop in a near-production environment.
The headline seemed silly to me, as a technologist, as the interpretation of 'any' is highly subjective. But the point Mossberg makes in the article indirectly (or perhaps inadvertently) is that ARM and Linux have crushed the margins out of low end CPUs and operating systems (with a bit of help on OS pricing from Apple).

The insight here is that the two most expensive "parts" of a PC have always been the CPU and the OS license. Intel derived fat margins on their CPUs as the only game in town (sometimes illegally hindering rivals) and Microsoft derived fat margins by being the only OS worth having given the breadth of software available for it. The combination, the so called Win-Tel hegemony, was dominant for years.

And the tricky bit is that typical mark-up for a hardware device was 3 - 4x the price of the parts to build it. That multiple takes into account things like warranty returns, unsold inventory, losses in shipment, and two channels of distribution mark up. So priced at X the device sells for 1.4X to distributors, and then 3x to consumers. But the interesting side effect there is that every $1 you take off the price of components is $3 less at the consumer level.

As ARM chips got more capable, and Linux became more acceptable, I mark the beginning of the end as the day Asus shipped its first NetBook running Linux in 2007, and then tried to ship an ARM powered laptop a year later.

That stunt allowed ASUS to wrangle a nearly zero cost Windows XP license for its Netbooks from Microsoft. And the Atom chip, which Intel was pushing for "embedded" applications against the fast growing ARM franchise, had the lowest margins yet for a GenuineIntel processor.

With margins on the CPU and OS under assault, the whole value chain began to normalize around the minimum quality cost of the components. Combine that with the advancement of capability with process shrinks at the same price, and eventually the processors you could use would have the same capabilities as the "high end" ones did back in 2007.

The net result has been that things like the Raspberry Pi are possible, a $35 dollar computer that out performs machines from the turn of the century, but were reasonably useful. And now the "cheap" stuff has gotten into the performance ranges of the "performant" stuff from 2006, the year everyone stopped buying new computers every year because they didn't have to.

Today you have ChromeOS and Ubuntu Unity and Firefox OS and a number of interesting alternatives that are free or mostly so, and 64 bit ARM processors which sell for less than a 1/3 what the same performance 64 bit x86 processor sells for. And the collateral damage of that is you can put together a pretty capable unit for not a lot of money. Tether it to a $10 phone from Walmart and its really amazing.
From Metric to Topology: Determining Relations in Discrete Space [pdf]
I was on H1B with a true blue American startup. They developed cold feet when it came closer to sponsoring Green Cards. To start with GC wage levels are much higher than H1B levels. Also close to 15K+ needs to be spent for processing+ years of patient follow up to USCIS queries/denials and surprise site inspections. The new fangled startups won't have the long term strategy/planning to get me a green card. I had much better luck with a staffing vendor running an office off his basement. People misunderstand the H1B outsourcer lock-in. They hold people in through green card processes/delays. Not through H1B itself. Google for Employment based GC delays for Indians and Chinese.

You have to be a basic Microsoft Partner to be part of Bizspark.

Some higher tiers of the partnership program receive free software. But initially you'll be at "Network member" which doesn't provide any free stuff.

Silver and Gold tiers receive:

- Free support (20 and 50 hrs respectively, 15 and 20 incidents)

- Internal use licenses: 25 and 50 on-site respectively.

- MSDN: 5 or 10 seats.

However to get to Silver or Gold you need:

- Customer references: 3 or 5 (silver or gold).

- Business-focused competency assessment: 1 or 2.

- Revenue commitment (i.e. buy a certain number of Microsoft licenses)

- Microsoft certified staff: 1 or 2 minimum (that must be active, so renewed every few years).

The Silver and Gold partnership tiers are pointless for large business/corporations, and unreachable for startups/small businesses. They're really for mid level businesses that are Microsoft focused.

That's the beauty of relativity, and why it is called relativity: it's all relative.

When you go fast, and look outside, it looks like it is the outside that is moving fast (unless you are experiencing acceleration, at which point General Relativity kicks in). Therefore, to you, it looks like time outside is moving slower.

When the space boats are doing their thing, to us on the outside it looks like they are moving fast. Therefore, to us, it looks like time for them is moving slower.

Only losing market share and power has made Microsoft produce software with reasonable quality, flexibility, and interoperability.

A lot of the credit for that goes to Apple's crazy climb in popularity. But at least some of it also goes to technologists involved in networking, the internet, and the web, many of whom decided never to deal with any Microsoft stuff ever again. If you knew the frustration of Microsoft's combination of lock-in and incompetence, back in 1995 - 2006 (my entire computing life at the time!) you wouldn't blame them.

Apple’s iOS, on the other hand, went through last year basically unscratched. The report said that there were just four iOS targeted attacks in 2014, and the majority of those were designed to infiltrate jailbroken devices.
1) Anything gained? What about the people, the lessons, and the experience? No new insights about yourself and the world? You didn't have any fun doing it? Didn't meet your future spouse?

No money no gain, is really a horrible philosophy to live by.

2) If you kept track of what you loaned the company or any assets you bought, then sure, ask for it back. If not, next time keep a tab.

3) You're deciding on an equity split now? You're not really co-founders until you've figured out who owns what %. So it sounds like you didn't even have a company yet. But now you want to claim ownership because you are quitting? That's backwards.

4) No one owes you anything for your time and effort. Just imagine if she tried to bill you for hers.

Entrepreneurs do not get paid by the hour.

If I were you, I'd have a heart to heart and just honestly tell her why you'd like to move on. Entitlement will lead to an argument, but vulnerability hardly ever does. But if you're both butting heads because you both feel entitled then that was probably part of the problem. And seeing you don't have any legal ownership documents, her leverage is as good as yours. Unless you're willing to fight in court, it's a toss up. No one wins. And until you have ownership documents, she can't claim ownership against you, nor can you against her. So you both can walk away with non-exclusive rights to 100%. Why bar each other? If she wants rights, then ask her to buy you out. Come up with a round number, and that's that.

GraphQL a data query language and runtime
While CPython 3.x is rock solid and shipped years ago - no argument there - both Pypy and Jython still lacks stable Python 3.x releases. That's a major migration pain point.

It is hard trying to introduce Python 3 at a place that has systems that depend on both Cpython and Jython. Jumping between python 2 and 3 between projects is quite taxing mentally. And staying on python 2 only leaves me with a sense of lingering doom to say nothing of having to endure all the idiosyncrasies of python 2.x. I really enjoy the few moments when I can use Python 3.

It is perhaps easy to consider the 2 vs 3 debate over and done with for people who can just disregard Pypy and Jython entirely in their environment. I probably would think so myself had I not been so unfortunate to be the unwilling maintainer of solutions dependent on Jython right now.

Except that the Jews of 1915 were not blowing up, mas-murdering nor terrorizing people, nor were they waging war on non-Jews. Also, Jews were prosecuted throughout the world and eventually deported and/or killed, while Muslims are not in any way.

The second paragraph is true, as seen from Earth, not from the boats.

The whole 2 vs. 3 debate would simply have not existed if the Python core devs would have simply refused to backport tweaks and fixes from 3 to 2 and would have forcefully deprecated 2.x immediately after releasing 3.0, even if it was inferior to 2.x at first release.

Guido should have used his power to force the move forward down people's throats, because that's the responsibility of a BDFL. The D is there for a reason, and its exactly in this cases that the power of the Dictator role should have been used.

I went to college early (14, graduated 18). I've spoken with a lot of similar folks over the years, and the biggest takeaway for me was that everyone's experience and needs were different.

Some people were pushed by their parents, but mostly it was people who were bored with the normal experience and found an out. Out of that set, maybe about half regret it, and wished they had slowed down and enjoyed high school/childhood more.

People tend to assume that folks who go to college early would be socially awkward, but that was not my experience. The social/emotional intelligence distribution was pretty normal.

Out of everything, the common denominator was supportive parents.

Chrome (OS)'s security model is a lot better, and compared to Android it was designed more in-house. Android was an acquisition and has more legacy design baggage (though of course the vast majority of the code has been written by Google at this point).

It's easy to forget just how little attention is paid to preservation if there isn't a person dedicated to it. This is why libraries, especially the Library of Congress, are incredibly important. Archivists are important. Historians are important. We need to be reminded of that, or we'll make the same mistakes over and over.

My suspicion is that everyone involved just assumed it was someone else's job to take care of that. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the person who degaussed the tapes did so with the thought, "sure someone has backed this up."
