Update Common Project Properties & Write Them Back to MPP File 
Aspose.Tasks is a non-graphical .NET Project management component that enables .NET applications to read, write and manage Project documents without utilizing Microsoft Project. With Aspose.Tasks you can read and change tasks, recurring tasks, resources, resource assignments, relations and calendars. Aspose.Tasks is a very mature product that offers stability and flexibility. As with all of the Aspose file management components, Aspose.Tasks works well with both WinForm and WebForm applications.
>My advice, is move to SF, find a job (hopefully one that will pay relocating costs), or maybe even a contracting one, and then develop your product on the side. When it is at least 60% done, and you have a bit more savings, go full swing into it.

overall, sound advice, I think.

Note: if you move to silicon valley rather than SF, you can get a room in the lower-end but perfectly safe areas of Santa Clara or Sunnyvale for $600/month or so. $800-$1000 will get you a nice room that's near to the y combinator offices. If you are renting a room, you often can get away with first and deposit, especially for lower end stuff. Look around.

As for savings, well, that depends on your risk tolerance. A year and a half seems pretty excessive to me, but then I personally co-sign business loans and leases, so if the company craters, any personal money I had is gone anyhow.

If you are in a capital intensive space (e.g. you have to buy lots of servers like I do) contracting while you are starting up (if you can talk people into going corp to corp) can have some tax advantages, too.

Okay, here's a more concrete example.

Let's say I have around 2000-3000 regular users. If there is some family emergency which is unplanned and requires me to be there, I won't be able to maintain anything for about three-four days, except maybe make sure that the servers don't go down.

I would ideally like to let the users know that there's a problem right now. Despite everything, most of them will understand. However how far do I have to go to tell them? Do I send out a little tweet, an email, or put a persistent message on the website?

I know that it varies vastly according to context, but what would be a rough estimate on the best way to handle a situation like this?
Carrier control, most likely. I'm sure HTC are being lobbied hard by carriers who want to be able to use artificial restrictions to segment their offerings.

That's pretty frail. It won't catch palindromes with an even number of letters (e.g. ababbaba) and it'll only find those of at most 7 characters. Granted, you can use those matches to work outwards and search for more, but I didn't think the general solution was all that hard.

Oddly enough, it didn't even occur to me to try a regex and I like using them quite a bit.

I've had about a dozen APCs in my home over the years. I've also had a handful of other UPSs from other companies. The APCs have always been the most reliable and lasted the longest.

We also use them for our computers and racks at work. Again, the APCs have always been the best.

Of course, they're also more expensive... So I guess it's a tradeoff. I'm particularly leery of unknown brands since one of those started sparking and I was worried it would kill me or burn the house down. I doubt I'll buy anything except the best names from now on.
Easier said than done.

BTW, if you've never driven a BMW, test-drive one. They drive like nothing else in this world.
You don't have to write recursion-heavy code in Lisp. You can if you want to, and it hurts less than doing the same in many other languages, but iteration in Lisp works just fine too. (The Common Lisp LOOP macro basically gives you a little embedded language just for expressing iteration. So does ITERATE, which some people prefer but isn't in the standard.)

I see that you did brute force primality testing, too. Am I the only one who at least only divided by odd numbers (and two) in their brute-force is_prime function? Technically, you only need to test divide by all primes less than or equal to sqrt(n), after all.

I guess I could have used a faster primality test, but I didn't feel like writing anything that complex. I know there's a website out there that has a test that works for anything under about 10 billion, if memory serves, by using the probabalistic tests and doing a special check for the only exception. Heck, it even gives you the factors for the largest number in its range...
This is so true. I've been using this model to specify requirements in large organizations, organizing the requirements in HOW, WHY, WHAT-sections roughly equivalent to business goals (WHY), features / requirements (WHAT) and a system specification or in best case running source code (HOW).

Artificial Intelligence Meets Natural Stupidity (Drew McDermott) [pdf]
The most important word I learned all over these years is "why". People get worried about asking "Why?" for several reasons (like showing you might not know something you should) but I found out it's a question clients love to be asked, it makes them feel like you really want to be inside whatever they want you to do.
Here are two rules that I took from a quality forum I once belonged to which have their merits:

1) Speak from firsthand personal experience.
2) Or cite your sources.
(3) or both)

My view is that you really should not be aiming to put certain individuals on a pedestal. You should be aiming to foster an environment with a high level of quality of conversation. If you put too much emphasis on specific members, that only makes it more likely that it will kill your site when they leave. Having the right rules, practices and culture in place is harder to do but more resilient. I don't care how idealistic, humble and/or brilliant any individual is, when some place starts catering overly much to that person's ego, it gets to the point where no one can disagree with them without all hell breaking loose. This is not a good way to foster good conversation and at some point it will start driving away good people.

Even on Hacker News, the most highly voted comments tend to come over and over from the same people. I have no reason whatsoever to believe that those individuals are simply always brilliant every time they open their mouth. I have every reason to believe that the karma system encourages members to jump on the bandwagon and upvote certain people simply for being those people. Having been the person on the pedestal, I think there is a serious downside to being on that pedestal and I actively seek to avoid being placed there. The only thing I have found that works well and consistently as an antidote to being consistently attacked is to deflect public praise. The one and only thing I know for sure is that the more some people heaped public praise upon me, the more other people felt the need to kick the crap out of me, prove I did not know everything, and try desperately to bring me down a notch. Conversely, not publicly thanking people for saying nice things about me, turning a deaf ear to it, and actively asserting that I don't have all the answers has dramatically reduced the degree to which I end up on the receiving end of ugly assaults.

(I cringe when I see other people having public praise heaped upon them. The fall is highly likely to come sooner or later and most people don't really know how to deal effectively when their adoring fans suddenly turn into a rabid lynch mob, a la how Britney Spears seemed to just get crazier and crazier the more desperately she tried to get back her status as America's Darling.)

Would you care to enlighten a bit on the accuracy of the device? I think that a chemical analyser in everyone's phone would be very useful for example in detecting toxic substances in consumer products (e.g. cadmium in cheap jewelry). Would it be able to do that? A second application that comes to mind is to improve recycling by allowing people to scan the items they are throwing away.

Could it also do anything related to measuring contaminants in air or water? I live by the Baltic sea, which is very badly eutrophied, and have for some time had the idea of a network of floating sensors that would measure with high detail the nutrient levels. If one could pinpoint sources down to individual agricultural fields, I think huge reductions in fertilizer runoff would be possible.

Dublin, Ireland.

Rent - €300 p/m (room/studio in a shared house). This is about as cheap as you can get. A room in the city centre would be more like €700-900 p/m.

Food - €30-40 per week assuming you bring a packed lunch and cook at home.

Bills - around €50 p/m. Includes electricity and TV.

Internet - if you're a student you can get a 3G USB dongle for €20 with a monthly cost of €13 from O2. That comes with a 5 gig cap. Vodafone allow you to roam on any of their networks in Europe if you subscribe to their service. If you're lucky enough to live in the right area you can get Fibre to the home for €50 p/m. DSL is around the same price.

Mobile phone - choose the pay as you go option (prepay) and you can send up to 250 text messages per month for free online. plans start from €15 with 50 minutes/texts. mobile calls about 12-13c per minute. i think some of the networks do free texts to people on the same network now.

Minimum wage - €8.65 per hour

Programmer salaries - typically about €30k starting off with senior (> 5 year's experience and typically more) able to charge up to 70-80k. someone in the bottom of that range (30k) will take home 80% of that after tax. middle of that range (55k) will typically take home 70% of their salary after tax, and someone on 80k will take home just over 60%. We have a fairly harsh budget in the works so that will probably change slightly. Tax calculator - http://www.hookhead.ie/Tools/tax2010.jsp

Health insurance - companies will often provide this but if they don't then a decent plan will cost €800-900 and the comprehensive plan will cost €2000. under the drugs payment scheme (available to all residents) you will pay a maximum of €120 per month for prescribed medicine.

Transport - typically about €60-70. cycling is definitely an option though as the city is small.

As a student I have been living on €1000 per month for over a year now. This is while trying to be fairly frugal most of the time. By cutting down on the time/money I spend on socialising I could reduce these expenses significantly, but that is important to me so I don't.
I don't have an AC - you don't need it in Bangalore.

As a westerner that spent about 2 months in India I have to say - although Bangalore's weather is mild in Indian terms, >30c weather (normal for high summer in Bangalore) is well within "requires AC" limits for Europeans :)

Also, if you don't absolutely require high speed internet or being around other high-tech folks there are much cheaper (and IMO nicer) places in India than Bangalore.

E.g. in Dharamsala, which is still expensive by Indian standards, you can lead a fairly lavish lifestyle for the prices niyazpk's quoted (and a lot less, too). Hope you like dialup internet tho ;)

Another way to look at it is that it was probably his only chance of human interaction that didn't directly involve his current predicament.

If he wasn't working he'd probably be doing nothing but staring into the air waiting to die. Having to nothing to do but deal with medical staff, and group after group of well-meaning relations who feel sorry for you is probably very mentally stressful.

I believe group chat happens sometimes on a forum I have a membership with for people who are deathly ill and/or have deathly ill family members. Such people tend to have trouble getting out much and are willing to make the effort to do a group chat. They aren't going anywhere anyway.

There are logistical problems with having an extended live online group discussion, like bathroom breaks and the need to eat or drink (and the need to signal people that you are going to the bathroom, something you don't have to explicitly state in person when you get up and head for the loo). There are reasons why IRL gatherings very often revolve around food or involve food: It's the best way to keep people together for an extended period of time. If there is no food, drink, or bathroom access, you have a pretty short time frame before people will start leaving to go meet those needs. Some group members have a much shorter chain in that regard (people with small kids in tow, elderly people, people with serious medical conditions) and that means that unless you have somehow established a core group of ridiculously hardy individuals who can go for long periods without eating, drinking, or going to the bathroom, your group isn't sustainable for long at all in the absence of such amenities.

(Individuals who are that hardy are probably not much available for online group chat. They are at the pub or out hiking up some mountain or traveling in some foreign country without good internet access -- which is exactly where I would be much of the time if I weren't medically handicapped.)
Speaking from the other "side" in this:

There were, if you were paying attention, actually two keynotes which bashed on Django, thus equaling the combined number of Django-bashing keynotes from the first two DjangoCons :)

Anyway. The committer policy was obviously becoming more of a hindrance than a help, and the focus in the last couple releases on landing big stuff (and, thus, letting less-flashy but still valid and useful feature requests languish) was probably good at the time but just doesn't work long-term, as evidenced by the backlog of feature-request tickets.

I think there was a general understanding -- among the core team and among the broader community -- that these in particular were the two biggest issues, and having them aired out publicly and discussed in person instead of on a mailing list or a forum was important. DjangoCon's traditionally been good at that sort of thing, but this time around it was even more important than normal, and I think that's one of the great things about the conference. It's much harder to flame someone who's standing a few feet away than it is to go after somebody on a mailing list, and it's much more likely that calm will prevail and productive discussion will ensue.

And speaking of productive discussion, that's the other great thing about the conference: it's about the only time all year where we can get most of the committers into the same actual room to talk about stuff. There were a couple meetings -- one at the hotel, one over dinner -- which were fairly productive; the new committer policy came out of that, was proposed on the committers' list shortly after the conference, and approved pretty quickly since most of the issues had already been talked over. Doing the same thing electronically likely would have taken months; thanks to DjangoCon it basically only took a couple hours, followed by the formal proposal and vote, and then the drafting of the announcement and the process of offering the new commit bits.

From the story, it is evident that this gentleman has long been aware that he might develop myeloma. This implies that he had been diagnosed previously with a monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS). This may be clinically suspected based on routine bloodwork showing a gamma gap. Once you suspect it, there is a fixed protocol for further investigation. It also sounds like there were lapses in the routine checkups that would help with early detection if this did progress to myeloma. Very unfortunate; this CEO seems like a delightful person and I wish him the best.

"The best way to solve this problem is to eliminate the need for hacky bookmarklets entirely: Add a proper registry of apps that can accept URLs from Safari"

I disagree that this is the best way to solve the problem: it would restrict availability of integration with Safari to native apps, leaving pure web-hosted apps at a disadvantage. Why should every web-hosted app that handles URLs have to produce an iPhone app just to lower the user-experience hurdle? And bear in mind that the app won't have access to cookies set in Safari, so the user will need to authenticate themselves twice - once in Safari, once in the app.

I think the best solution would be one completely within Safari - window.external.AddFavorite or something similar.

I saw this too the first time I set up IMAP. IMAP is (supposed to be) an exact copy of your mailbox. Your surprise might come from the fact that you didn't delete what you thought you did. I ran a pop3 server for a long time and thought my mailbox was fairly small. Then I turned on IMAP and discovered that my pop3 server had never actually deleted any of my mail. It took me 3-5 hours of work to delete everything that was supposed to be deleted again but now setting up new clients (e.g. my phone) are near instant.
I live in Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic

I don't need to pay rent (lucky me :)), so I'll summarize my expenses when I did:

- monthly rent: $300 (small flat in the middle of the city)

- electricity, heating, Internet: $100

- food: about $200 (you could easily live on $100 to $150 dollars if you wanted to save)

- public transportation: about $110 (I don't have a car and I had to commute by train)

Typical wages for programmers in Hradec are $1000 to $1500 but can go higher if you are self employed. The nearer you are to Prague, the higher go the wages (and expenses, but I guess the wages climb faster)
