I am not in a startup, so take this with a grain of salt. I have a number of people I talk to who have been in startups though, and a common refrain is that when you sign on very early you wear many hats - some fun, some not. Don't expect all your time to be coding, just like when you have a child you shouldn't expect all your time with that child to be play time.

I say this because if you burn out in 4 hours doing something you find boring then you might not be able to deal with everything needed. However another common refrain is that every startup is different, so you have to decide for yourself based on your read of the startup.

One last bit of caution. If you push yourself to the wall all the time then you might not have the energy you need when the time comes where the business really needs that push. From what I've been told, and from personal experience on a number of fast paced projects, it's better to pump out a consistent 40-60 hours a week with an occasional push to 80, than it is to do 80 every week until you crash.
No. The problem with ssh-agent defaults is that someone with root on the server you're SSH'd into can use your SSH private key (which is on your local machine).

ssh-agent is like temporarily uploading your private key to each remote server logged into.
Yeah but you might also say that about getting your tongue pierced.

I can't remember the last time I plugged my phone into my laptop. Bandwidth for USB-C is way low on my list of reasons to like it on my 6P.

#1 for me, personally, is that it's more durable.. my micro USB ports on my phone always started to loosen up, and the cables would stop staying plugged in (yes, even after cleaning out pocket fuzz). My 6P's connection, so far, seems much more robust.

But also, more power, 3 amps is pretty sweet, and the reversible connection is very nice to have, if not really a huge deal.
Not related to the issue discussed in the article. It's about type-C supporting like 10 different speeds and modes.
I think it is just a fake number. Everything has running code also what if the VM you spin up is in a different part of the data center or next to another heavy network app? To me this seems like a waste of time to look at because depending on the logic it will not matter if the server can do twice as many hello world requests when it has to wait 30ms for business logic anyways. I want to see a real running system and the change out the web server as well as the hosting vm and see who comes out ahead with real systems. This just shows use this web server for making a CDN, nothing more.

That is very different (and much more common) than an attacker having root on your local machine.
Linus is not a god, and his proclamations are not gospel.

He can crow all he likes about how he wishes he never used the GPL and how he is not political... but the truth is, no one knows what would have happened if he didn't use the GNU license or distribute GNU software. Its theoretically possible that his project would have died on the vine without members of the community who cared about those things and made considerable contributions. Nobody knows, not even Linus.
Like it or not, but those "irrational idealists" are also contributors to the Linux kernel anyway. I do not understand that it is reasonable to remove some stakeholders' rights at all.

(I have another words to say about the GNU/Linux ideology, but I think that's close to irrelevant here.)
If you'd like to experience (hear) the subtle variations between two violins that are, proportionally, almost identical--that is, they're "tuned resonators", listen to this exchange between Ali Bain and Nicola Benedetti, two very talented violinists, discussing their instruments...

While I agree with that view on GPLv3, the foundation went much further by actually supporting companies which ignore software licenses. You may not like GPLv3, but you're bound by the rules.

In the commercial license world it would be like starting an organisation of companies which repackage windows with new features and sell it, never acknowledging or paying MS.

There's debatable right or wrong and understanding or not, but what some of those companies do is just violation of law and supporting illegal activities. That is what GPL violators do.
It's in the article...

This has been my feelings on meteor as well. It looked neat and I went through some of the tutorials and such, but really had no projects I could use it on. All my current projects interact with various sql database at some point. I realize that isn't as cool as all the nosql stuff, but I kept hoping they would get to it, and then kept getting disappointed.

It's a pretty narrow full stack to me if you don't have real support for sql databases. It's been sitting there for 3 years and has about the highest votes of all them. They had a post about experimental postgresql project in august(http://info.meteor.com/blog/an-early-look-at-sql-in-meteor), but it's mostly sat there with a few updates since then. It doesn't seem to be much of a priority.
I find the sturdy feeling is mostly derived from the specific devices in question. My "main" laptop has looser ports than my old netbook; when I connect some brands of flash drive, they tilt a little bit out of the port. But with other brands the fit is solid. In all cases we're talking about USB2 devices.

Linux would have never been as successful if someone like rms would have called the shots. People still tinker with the GNU Hurd microkernel and it's less usable than Minix. Linus is also no god for me, but he is delightfully pragmatic, someone companies can work with, not against.
Wireless is a pipe dream. You can't power something wirelessly over any reasonable distance with any reasonable power draw... furthermore, the bandwidth capacity needed just keeps increasing such that even wired standards have a hard time keeping up. Ever tried running a 4k monitor over HDMI? Older versions couldn't even do it.

So, you need a cable for power, and you need that cable for video, you might as well make it bring over all your data, too.
The benefit, even for small applications is reusability.

I have already published a <ng-markdown> component to GitHub that can be installed via JSPM and imported as an ES6-module.

The new module and web component standard are going to completely change the nature of how web applications will be built in the future.

Unfortunately, it'll be a few years until both standards are natively supported across all browsers.

Until then, web component frameworks like React, Ember, and Angular2 are the best alternative.

If you don't like frameworks, you can use polymer to as a web component polyfill but I've heard it adds a lot of overhead for what it provides and has some quirks of its own.
If you frequently get large amounts of ear wax buildup to the point where it is blocking your hearing, there is a product called Maurine ear wax removal kit, which does work effectively (I have to use it about once every couple years).

It is sort of an oily type of drops that you put in your ear, leave it (with your head tilted sideways) for a half our or so, and it ends up crystallizing the wax so that it will fall out naturally. You can actually hear it working, ind of like a bubbling sound. Afterwords you use the bulb syringe that comes with the kit to flush out the ear canal.
"Those are just nice-side effects."

For me, not being baited into buying stuff is a nice side effect.

I block ads because it's fun to see how badly Google, Apple, Microsoft, apps and websites want data about computer users.

There is serious room for a 4th competitor. Windows is commonly used but gets a lot of hate, OSX is great but expensive, and linux is way too difficult for 99% of people to use.

I'm a little surprised that Ronnie even engaged in an apparent argument or conversation with the cop. A very good friend of mine who is an attorney and has given me the following advice which I give to an officer anytime I'm stopped. It goes like this:

Officer, please understand - after I identify myself with my name and date of birth (and proof of insurance if I am driving a motor vehicle) I am refusing to answer any questions until I have a reasonable opportunity to consult with my attorney. I refuse to take any field sobriety tests including: reciting letters and counting numbers, letting you look into my eyes with or without your flashlight, or any other physical tests performed outside my vehicle until I consult with my attorney. I refuse to get out of my car unless you order me to do so. However, I still refuse all field sobriety tests. I will show you my hands at all times so that your safety will not become an issue.

I refuse to consent to the search of my vehicle, my person, my belongings, or any premises with which I have an expectation of privacy, including my residence, hotel room or any other rented room without the reasonable opportunity to consult my attorney. If you have probable cause to search you do not need my consent anyway.

If I am not under arrest but you are going to issue a traffic citation please do so immediately so that I may go about my business. If I am not under arrest and no citation is going to be issued please tell me if I am free to leave so that I may go about my business without further interference with my liberty.

If I am under arrest, please tell me immediately so that I can cooperate by submitting to your authority because I do not wish to resist or obstruct your official duties.

If I am under arrest I wish to invoke all my rights under Miranda. I want my attorney. I won't answer any questions, perform any field sobriety tests or consent to any search without a reasonable opportunity to obtain the advice of my attorney.

Then I shut up!
It's a pity that the article didn't mention what I'm sure is a dirty word to Oracle: PostgreSQL.

There are use cases where Postgres isn't appropriate. But there are many use cases where it (or some other cheap/free database) could and should replace Oracle.
Time was when I would read almost anything Asimov wrote. I even have his Guide to the Bible and Shakespeare, as well as his autobiographies. His editorials in the magazine, "Asimov's Science Fiction" would be the first thing I read.

I did some work during my PhD on recognizing scenes from electronic-nose data. The problem is more on the hardware side of things than the algorithm side of things. Today's electronic noses are still pretty large devices in which a sample needs to be placed within the device. Unless the state-of-the-art has advanced significantly in the past 3 years, none of them are like wielding an artificial nose on a stick that you can just wave around sniffing things.

Heavens, imagine how terrible it might have been if one person on a 16 person board disagreed with the consensus of the board. How could they have continued to perform their valuable work?

Sarcasm aside, you're presenting an argument against the GPL and the FSF. I might even agree, but that seems irrelevant to a more specific question of corporate governance of the Linux Foundation.

You're talking about avoiding headaches, but if you want to represent a diverse group of stakeholders, you're going to have some headaches. If the current role of the Linux Foundation is purely to be a voice for large enterprises who wish to exploit Linux, then why did this change? Is it a good change? What organisation does represent the interests of Linux stakeholders?

I mean, keep in mind, the core policy difference is whether or not the Linux Foundation supports following the license of Linux. That's the reason (as far as anyone can tell) that Sandler is disliked and the at large board seats were removed. Can you imagine the BSA working to keep a lawyer who sued software pirates off their board? The very idea is absurd.
"[T]o twist Q-tips in our ears [...] feels great. [...] Tickling their insides triggers all sorts of visceral pleasure."

The 'holy grail' of frameworks will come in the form of new web standards.

- ES module loader
- native web components
- native observables

That's the gist of what all of the latest generation of frameworks aim to provide.

The next generation will use these and focus primarily on reusing front-end application logic across platforms. Ie Mobile, IoT, Desktop, etc. This is already happening to some extent.

Yes. But the server capability is always there. It can be launched again any time the attacker needs it.
Thank you for replying.

I knew the post would entice one of these comments.

This is why I specifically included the 2nd point :
"I write better code, can architect, can take a project from start to finish and in general work much better and more productively than my team-mates who have 10+ years of experience. I frequently re-factor things they have written and have 'saved' a project from risks and 'down the line rot due to technical debts' multiple times due to these refactor-ings and other decisions."

- In the end, software is not just about writing code.
- Unlike some other engineering fields which have set rules and calculations (think civil engineering) that reduce the risk, each software project can have a lot of variance.... due to which it can end up being very complicated.

- Coming back to the point, I know people who have 2 years of experience & who are at a 'Senior' engineer level.
- It's just a title and the semantics is subjective.

The point I was trying to make is that I'm working and producing much more value than the 'Senior' engineers with 10+ years. And not just coding wise.

Further, as I mentioned in the original post, switching jobs is the clear next step... what I'm unsure of is the hiring policy w.r.t work visas.
All the major online flower vendors (Teleflora, Proflowers, 1-800-FLOWERS, etc.) work by contracting with local florists. They show you the offerings, including prices, and let you set destinations, delivery dates, card messages, etc. I don't really see how you would differentiate from their offerings.

Indeed, a hack you can use as a customer is to call up the local florist directly and order: you get the exact same product you would through Teleflora etc, but get to cut out the middleman, and the florist will usually give you lower prices.

The uproar over web clients using adblockers strikes me as "not my problem". The web works like this:

- A client sends an HTTP request to a server.

- The server responds with data

- The client interprets that data as it is configured to.

The assumption that all clients are standards-conforming web browsers that will run all JavaScript, use provided CSS, download all resources, etc. is incorrect. Once that data is out of the server's hands, it has no control. Are Lynx, curl, wget, etc. somehow evil now? Sending mail to a daemon that downloads the page and emails it to you?

If you built your business on sending data to an unknown remote client and expecting it to perform in an exact way, you should probably reconsider your business model.
I don't know where to begin.

0) Linux is just a kernel, so if taken literally, it never will be an OS. But I will roll with your terminology for now.

1) Linux was a Unix-like OS for tinkerers, programmers and soon for servers. A "real OS" is not defined by its availability on the Desktop. And indeed I very much used it exactly because of this, because I am a tinkerer who rather runs a Server OS on his private machines, that also allows him to do most Desktop-tasks with ease.

2) The voice of the Desktop camp inside of Linux is not ignored, if anything, the influence is too big. Think about systemd for example. This was not a move in order to run better on Servers, this was primarily Notebook and Server focused. The year of the Linux Desktop is not something we won't see because of evil big corporations, rather because it simply is not Linux's DNA to be that.

(And side note: Because of systemd I see more and more people using *BSDs)

I personally (speaking for myself) never cared for "the #1 startup accelerator" wording, and now that Techstars has built a small marketing team you'll have noticed that we talk about Techstars a lot differently - http://www.techstars.com/ :)

BTW, the #1 thing came from the first ranking of accelerators back in 2011 - http://tech.co/top-15-us-startup-accelerators-ranked-2011-05 (I believe they used a mixture of financial results and founder ratings, but I'm not sure.)

Yep, YC companies have raised a lot more money and have a higher total valuation, but YC also has a two-year head start! Based on any reasonable metric, Techstars has better results than any other accelerator - http://www.seed-db.com/accelerators

When I was a kid, I had ear infection problems along with too much wax build up. One day, I went to the otorhinolaryngologist, who shook her head, grabbed these large metal spikes, wrapped cotton around the tips, and cleaned out my ears.
