"... I apparently don't have any innate talent and I'm going to have to actually work hard at it."

Unfortunately even with innate talent you will still have to work hard at it. There are many things to consider, from fitting in with the style and purpose of the project (Mrs Eaves is pretty but would you use Mrs Eaves on a project about the Titanic?) to practical issues like having the right weights for body type.

So what you want to do is to create a minimalist web? By working out what we could remove and still leave a reasonable functioning core?

I find I have limited bandwidth for coding. In my last job, this capacity was completely used. I put my energy and my ideas into my job and absolutely nothing was left for building on the side.

My current job is still technical, but I'm not working as a coder. As such, I have a lot of energy to put into a project. In fact, working on the project is one of the things I look forward to when I get home.

Something to keep in mind when looking at a job. How much of your personal capacity will be left when the day is over?

For instant Mini-Web, just use this browser:

It's not too hard to measure what might be considered a "minimal" page, if he means simple, uncluttered web pages.

Here is what you do; number-of-CSS-blocks + number of images + javascript-dependencies + some magic function involving unique HTML elements in pages = minimal#

The lower the minimal# the better.

You can also throw in some weight products as well, to skew the results and penalize specific components (say flash=1000, gif=300, java-applet=1000, real-media=2000, etc.)

Of course you should do it. Yes, Google is a large company. But they're one of the most respected software companies in the world and even if longer term you decide to part again just having them on your resume is going to make it worth it, that's not counting the possibility to expand your network and the ability to learn from some of the best minds on the planet when it comes to writing software.

The salary should be the least of your concerns, that's short term thinking.

Why would anyone want to create this monster?!? (I have to admit it's very well done, though...)
Sure, but objectively, it's probably easier and more remunerative in many ways to work for Google in the Bay Area than, say, seek out a job in Sicily, where the weather is certainly wonderful, but there are not many IT jobs and they generally aren't of the interesting variety (unless you did something, like, say, create Redis, in which case you can happily stay in Sicily and hack on your project:-). Not to mention the language barrier and cultural differences.

Our move from Padova to Innsbruck, Austria, 4 hours away by car, was far, far more difficult than when I moved from Portland, Oregon to the Bay Area years ago. For instance, there are no one-way rental trucks in Europe that I know of, so if you have furniture or things to move, it's going to be expensive and/or time-consuming.

I would suggest that "Edit My Profile" implies a sense of ownership and choice that the instructive "Edit your profile" or vague "Edit profile" doesn't, which could conceivably actually have tangible benefits in terms of encouraging user behaviour.

This is a testable hypothesis as is the claim by the author of the original post that it's "helpful" not to have conflict between "my" and "your" for different functions.

Does anyone have any data to support either conclusion?
the essential reason of this kind of persistence is that it has to survive the explicit deletion of the cookie by the user.

Browser offer the user the possibility to remove cookies (manually or delete all), and this is because users want privacy.

This clever library manages to exploit browser features to go around this and store some identification information persistently against the will of the user

If the user doesn't want to delete or disable cookies, then you can use normal cookies for the purpose of legitimate "remember me" functionalities.

However I can understand that not all users know what cookies are, and there are many people who might have cookies disabled by default (sysadmin choice in a company) or somebody told them to do that.

So, you could reason this way:

"There is no point disabling the cookies anymore, since anybody could employ this trick to circumvent it. There are people which disable cookies because an obsolete 'security policies' which is not anymore secure. I want to make a webapp that works for everybody. It requires cookies. People are paranoid but employ obsolete security policies which don't protect them anymore. I can exploit the same trick to circumvent their default security policy for morally good reasons"

You can analyze and filter script that extracts information from PNG, and such unusual script would draw attention.

I've been using Linux for many years now exactly because of that, same OS on the server as on my dev box. I literally never looked back, in the beginning I used VMWare as an occasional crutch but I haven't fired up a VM in about a year now.

It's not only doable, it's probably a really good solution.

If a developer is so attached to any one species of window manager that they can't switch you have a problem anyway.

The initial productivity hit was definitely visible, but it did not last more than a few weeks.

I also have a mac but hardly use it (it got borrowed to a friend because of that), all three of Mac, Windows and Linux are viable environments these days and a competent developer should not have too much trouble migrating.

Even though OS/X is favorite amongst many developers it actually is the 'odd one out', but if you intend to develop for apples mobile platform you might end up with a few of them anyway.
Well... you certainly could do that. Then again, you're not as flexible, since your desktop gets messed up once you disconnect from 2 screens.

I'm pretty sure that a sensible developer's desktop + sensible developer's laptop cost about the same as one beefy dockable laptop which can handle 2 screens. Seriously beefy laptops tend to be not very portable unfortunately because of the size + weight. (I do not consider laptops above 17'' portable anymore - if it doesn't fit in a backpack, it's too large) Also working on the laptop all the time will kill your battery (or you might risk leaving it out for a long time and discharging it completely) - which breaks the flexibility idea again.

Plus, If I had a desktop and a laptop, I'd just use synergy to have 3 screens available ;) Laptop screens are perfect for having terminals with `tail -F some logs` quickly available ;)
I work in a shared office building, and I take a laptop with a self-contained test environment into my day job. I then spend lunch working in a quiet room elsewhere in the building with no internet connection.

The offer sounds good to me. In other parts of the country for an FTE, that's not too shabby, and it will look loads better on your resume (depending on what you'll be doing and how that fits with your goals) than other positions. But, I'm concerned that you are asking HN. Don't take a job you'll hate, even if it is for Google. It isn't worth it.

it really varies from place to place and company/industry. Which probably means its fading out. I recently went through a few rounds of interviews with several people at a large software company and i did not send thank you emails. I was given the job but it was brought up over beers later on with boss and peers how i did not send thank you emails. they mentioned how during their interview process that most people were not doing that and it seemed to them that was becoming outdated.

Now i was briefly a hiring manager before and i hated getting follow up emails from people i interviewed. It is so obvious that people know it's something they have to do and just kicked out these canned scripted thank you messages. Most people's inboxes are already full and they are busy why would they want this?

And my personal opinion is that, honestly they should be thanking you. I mean, they need help. They put out a "Help Wanted". You have skills that can help them. They asked if you wouldn't mind taking 3 hours out of your work day so you could go down to meet several of their team members so they could evaluate you and help them make certain they are hiring the right person. Maybe they should be thanking you?? It's a two-way street.

I think the campaign is pointless. If you want to 'free Java', fork it. Then Oracle can choose to get on board or not.

They paid a lot of money to get Java under their wing and they aren't going to just give it away afterwards. Yes, they were for this in the past, but the obviously realized it wasn't going to happen (possibly because it won't work) and chose to buy it instead to further their goals.

I don't think the money is the bigger issue here, that could be found. The components that you'd need on top of that would be a screening process that would bring out the kind of companies that YC does invest in and people like Paul and others to help the start-ups go from 0 to 100.

The latter will be your real bottle-neck, likely there are plenty of people that would be willing to pony up a similar amount of dough, but hardly any of them could dedicate the time (and might not have the expertise) required to really make a go of it.

Personality versus "professionalism"
Review: How to live on 24 hours a day
I generally agree a lot with professional designers about typography (well, apart from the rabid Helvetica lovers among them), but sometimes I wonder whether compromising for the tastes of the general public wouldn't be worth it in monetary terms. The proliferation of Comic Sans and Papyrus doesn't come out of nowhere, and if you walk around in a random city in this world (with Latin signage), you're bound to see lots of those signs. I have a friend who works in a print shop, and apparently a lot of customers prefer to have that.

So depending on your desired projected image, you might want to go with the typographically "bad" choice, for psychological reasons. I wonder whether real designers regard this with the same distaste as I would about copy & paste programming…

I wonder if I'm the only one here who is completely font-blind? I never notice what font something is unless someone points it out, let alone being able to pick out 25 specific ones. I guess that makes me a poor candidate for being a designer, doesn't it!
As a mac user I'd say that I'm more productive using Mac OS X, but that's not to say I wouldn't work somewhere that used Linux.

We have this identical issue and what works very well for us is to use local virtual machines (we use VMWare) because then we can use exactly the same configuration, independent of the development platform. For example, we have Mac and Linux users, but could also easily accommodate Windows users as well. Other benefits include the fact that you can really lock down the VMs to be exactly as production, whereas it's unlikely that a local dev machine would be the same (Does your production machine have Firefox installed?)

Another benefit is that when we change the configuration of production (which is all managed with Puppet) we can just update the dev machines because they were built with Puppet as well, without worrying about screwing up someone's desktop machine.

Plus, you can take snapshots...
You can rebuild them easily...
etc

Lots of benefits.
It's not evil. It just shows that "Clear cookies" button is no longer an effective privacy tool.

Browser vendors are aware of this already and working to make evercookie no worse than regular cookie, e.g. Mozilla blocked reading of visited link history, Chrome privacy window has link to Flash LSO controls. All vendors are working towards making it better integrated and more effective against all "evercookies".
To be truly comparative, the chart also needs to include, for each year, the median and average household incomes for each tax year as well.

Knowing that in 1917 those making over $2million were taxed at 67% is fine, but without converting $2million into todays dollar value, it is hard to compare the relative effect.
Tips on how to pick a typeface? Research further into the history of typography and current usage.

Generally there are 'safe' options for instance, in my opinion, you can rarely go wrong with Helvetica.

It is probably more about the actual setting of the type - sizes, line spacing, layout and so on. I would suggest focusing on and practicing with that more than focusing on actual typefaces.

Translation: I suggest you code/build your business in the early morning instead. Say around 4-5 am: wake up early and code like crazy for 2-3 hours. It's super productive when compared to late nights. Also, since you have kids, you need to plan out their schedule properly or else they will need your constant attention. Automate whenever possible. If you must outsource, be sure to review and measure effective ROI.
Actually, compared to what I saw at each of my kid's births, that was casual.

I really don't like all these business people in bed with government people, it isn't how countries should be run.

We're seeing more and more of this on this side of the Atlantic, where you are by government mandated to do business with certain parties (at prices you have no say in ), are forbidden to do business with other parties and in general are expected to be a good little consumer from the day you're born until the day you die.

The MPAA is one of the worst excesses of this in the public eye, but there are a great many more of them that are much better at keeping a low profile.
no, it's a learned skill. Mostly you get better at it by a) using them and b) reading about them. It took me about two years of minor curiosity and looking up at things before i definitively spotted my first random non-system font.

The key, and this is important, fonts have historical baggage and they also are designed by relatively few people. After doing this, you start to see designer-traits and also historical influences. The hardest thing to see is white-space, which is another "i know kung fu" moment.
I like the idea. The execution is suspect.

It's not actually that difficult. You need not upgrade your python. You just need one more python. I have been successfully using this setup on RHEL 5 and Ubuntu. And you can couple it with virtualenv and pip to have a sandbox. I would say it has become standard practice in the python dev community.
