I think the first thing you need to recognize when you become a manager is that making your technical underlings look good makes you look good. I mean, as a manager, nobody expects you to get things done yourself; your job is to find good people, keep them, and motivate them to do the things that need to get done. Especially if your tech is in the room, publicly give your tech credit for getting it done. Nobody sane is going to fire the manager with a bunch of high-performing underlings in favor of the manager who has a bunch of mediocre dullards.

the thing is, the manager and the (good) tech are only very rarely in competition for the same promotions. Technical folks, generally speaking, move into management after they've gone as far as they think they can go as technical people.

NASA's Fermi Telescope Finds Giant Structure in our Galaxy
We're about to ship our site and this couldn't have come at a better time, very poignant post.

There's still a part of me that wants to wait for feature X before going live but I've started to realise this is just fear. Fear that it won't get the response we'd like but that's all it is, fear.

We're going to ship the product we've got and if it doesn't take then we'll keep doing what we love and iterating.
Mourning is more like an act, a ceremony of showing sadness.
Saudade is the little pain that lingers on long after the mourning; the settlement of mourning that never heals. As brazilian singer Chico Buarque says "Saudade is like a sting on a limb I lost long ago" or "Saudade is the boat that makes an arc and can't reach the harbour". In saudade there's a constant questioning of "what could it have been only if..."
Top Common Legal Mistakes Entrepreneurs Make
this is an awesome list -- we've been at this for almost 3 years, and while we had most of them, I just realized that we never set up Bing Webmaster Console -- given their continued rise in % (combined with Yahoo), it can't hurt.

other great recommendations as well -- we're also SEOMoz subscribers, so some of this is also just a great reminder about tools we're probably underutilizing
Great checklist of things to remember!
If it's there policy to not allow recording, then you shouldn't be recording videos. From the video of the confrontation, it seemed like Surj was being reasonable and only proceeded to say "fuck off" after you attempted to record him. This man probably has more important things to do then argue with you about freedom to capture information when it's simply their policy to disallow video cameras.
I think unbounce is a very cool product - I just don't think everyone who needs landing pages or is selling a product wants to pay a monthly fee to manage them. This plugin makes it easy to get landing page setup and running for a one-time cost.
Unbounce is hosted. There are millions sites hosted on wordpress that could use lead gen.

Appel uses ML, the rest use Scheme.

Rather trivially, even without insurance surcharges. I had a Lancer Evolution VIII MR for a few years...

* Insurance was $150/mo. This was without an age surcharge, no speeding tickets, no accidents. As low as it was getting.

* Payments were ~$500/mo for 60 months at 4.9%. That was after putting about 23.5% down, and taking sales tax into account.

* Gasoline? This was a car that got 4mpg when you caned it, and averaged about 14mpg. I drove 500 miles a week. When premium was $3.50-$4.00 a gallon. Gas was $500 - $700 a month, as 150HP/liter doesn't come for free.

* Maintenance? I changed my own oil (synthetic) every month. Even DIY, that was $40/mo. Nevermind everything else. A set of brake pads (DIY) was still $500-600. Rotors? More like $900. I ended up doing two brake jobs in 3 years.

* The summer tires, between track days and usual commuting, lasted ~12K miles a set, at $1300/set. I also had dedicated winters at $900/set, but those never needed to be replaced. But basically, a new set of summer tires once a year meant $110/mo in just tires. "Cheaper tires" weren't an option, unless I wanted to completely neuter its handling characteristics.

Honestly, it was close to $1500/mo to run that thing, and that was simply a $36,000 car that could happen to hang with things 2 to 3 times its price on a road course. I was contracting for years, and never got anything close to where I was. If I was commuting to the same place, I would've absolutely moved, and saved $300-600/mo in fuel/maintenance quite easily.

I have a Miata (MX-5) now which costs dirt to run, mostly because mileage is all fun, and < 4000 a year. Insurance is cheaper than an economy car. Gets 24mpg driving it like an idiot. Proper tires are only $750-800/set. Maybe costs me $150-200/mo, since it's paid for.
This is great, I've been really excited for the razor engine! Also i'm glad to learn about Output Caching :)
No product which cleans its competitors' clocks from the word go can be fairly described as rudimentary, regardless of the competitive landscape a decade later. If the motion picture cameras Chaplin was using ninety years ago seem rudimentary now, it's because our context is different. At the time, they were bleeding edge.

I sympathize with trying to motivate people to ship sooner and faster, but he's painting his examples as if they weren't world-beating hits, which only took time to go from solidly profitable to gargantuanly profitable.

Look the same places. Then go to the company sites and look at their job listings. A lot of them will have non-technical positions posted.

I do this a lot when I'm looking for new companies to cover (I run an editorial jobs-focused site).
Sorry to hear about the experience. We know you were well meaning, but posing a question on the spot like that while recording someone (your video of Surj) really invites that sort of reaction, although his reaction was unprofessional. Not good for both of you. On the spot questions while recording really only works for PR people or subjects who are paid to answer on the spot and know they have to answer. Take it for the experience and move on. Keep on adding value with your documentations. Just be very careful about it!!
The author argues that in 20 years, humanity will be capturing most of its so-called content, and for that reason he's disappointed that he wasn't allowed to record a private conference.

I wonder if he would accept the following argument: "In 20 years, humanity will be so sexually liberated that everybody will have naked pictures of themselves on Facebook / Assbook / whatever. Hence it's perfectly OK if I shoot clandestine videos of guys in the gym showers and sell the movies to a porn site."
I think it's helpful to have criteria like this out there, so that we can discuss them. That said, what's with the bias against capital letters? maxphysaddr is more readable than MaxPhysAddr? godisnowhere is more readable than GodIsNowHere? Or is that GodIsNowhere? I'm personally a fan of coding styles that cut down on ambiguity.

Pieces of the critique definitely apply to this release: I'm still of the opinion that routing is a relatively small portion of a client-side app. And you'll probably wind up with 10x more Views, Models, and Collections than you do Controllers.

The big difference between this approach and Sammy's is that here Controllers are just a library you can use -- with Sammy you structure your whole app around inappropriate faux-server-side-URLs-with-HTTP-methods. (Also, this works in Internet Explorer.) In the end, enough people requested we add routing to Backbone that it made sense to plug it in, one more battery included.
They all kinda run together into one long ellipsis. However, I think that together it might actually mean something. It seems clear to me that Java is in the waning phase of it's life.
To be clear, you may still charge for the PHP code it however must be distributed under the GPL license and no additional restrictions may be made. If maxfoundry is distributing the entire package as GPL (including images, js, css) then their current license pricing may not hold up as the single/multi site restriction should violate the GPL.
Akamai pay as you go pricing was just around 150$/TB pricing with resellers

Who resells at this rate other than VPS.net? There's a reason Akamai terminated their contract. I haven't found another legitimate reseller that's anywhere close, and Akamai direct is 3x that rate for say a small TB/month commit.

Level3 does not appear to have an Asian CDN presence. [Edit: I'm wrong. They do have CDN nodes in Asia, but man it's hard to find a map.]

EdgeCast is an excellent alternative. ThePlanet resells them at under $0.20 per GB but I've been having trouble getting them to take our business now that the SoftLayer merger has closed. Many other resellers are out there ar less competitive rates, e.g. GoGrid and SpeedyRails.
Eh, focus on the trends. Artists and scientists are the first to be demonized, and that's happening to some degree -- probably not enough to be noteworthy or anymore than the domestic right in any situation demonizes them, but it's worth keeping an eye on.

C is not C++.

In C you shouldn't be chaining header files because you don't make function calls in header files in C code (well most good C code at least, people abuse macros sometimes).

In C you should only include header files in header files if you have types in the other header files. It's okay to forward declare if you must, but its often quite a bit clearer to not.

Additionally, you should always include all the h files that have your undefined functions (only relying on include chaining for header files at most). So if you have:

DogModule.c calling Sounds.c functions and exporting a public function in DogModule.c called "PlayBark(struct soundNode);", DogModule.h and things that use DogModule should both import Sounds.h.

Good C habits and structure are very different than good C++ habits and structure. They're not the same language, not even close. Mangling your concepts of Good C and Good C++ is a great way to write both poorly.

Drupal is also licensed under the GPL and there is also a thriving community selling commercial drupal plugins and themes. The code that constitutes a derivative work of drupal must be licensed GPL and the rest can be distributed under whatever license you want. If you look at http://woothemes.com you'll see they've been very successful selling wordpress themes and support of those themes. I don't see how there is any difference between drupal and wordpress in this case.
3 Ways to Design an Intuitive Menu Navigation
One of my favorite shows was Cops and they made sure that they got a waivers from even the suspects/people being arrested or else they masked the faces.

Everything that happens is not free content. If that were a public space like a park or a street, recording could be accepted. (Thanks to Google street view, we know we have no right to privacy on streets or roads.) But when you record on private property, I think you need to ensure that you get permission from the property owner.
If everyone is recognized, does it still keep its value?
Square Now Processing Millions Of Dollars
By the way...it's worth mentioning that I've been quite miserable in school about 50% of the time. The workload has been really insane and for many assignments autograders are used, which are absolutely merciless if your output deviates even the slightest bit from the solution's, which we never had access to. That and it felt like very little of my experience outside school was pretty much useless.

If you decide to go and feel like the assignments are boring and tedious, just stick through it. there are a lot of much needed courses to prepare you for the second two years. Once you get there, the first two years will make sense.

Clojure port of WebMachine released
I've just started to scratch the surface of ASP.NET MVC 2.0 and they just release RC v3?

Nuts.
That link suggests "the beginning of the end" is from Shakespeare - do you know which work? I only know it from Churchill, and assumed it was his.
Aside from just the port itself is the following quote from the project's readme:

"BankSimple's stack is also multi-lingual, using Scala, Clojure, and JRuby. It's important for our development efforts to have a plays-well-with-others project where code can be shared between languages. We think that JVM language crosstalk is going to be a major asset for us moving, and increasingly you see other companies talking about similar experiments. Maybe we're on to something. Clothesline is a way of finding out."

Obviously, some of banksimple's technical people have a history of dabbling in multi-language systems but this sort of intentional crosstalk experiment is very interesting

This reminds me of a short cyberpunk story. I can't remember the name/author, but it was about a world where the next level of entertainment was essentially generated from a brainmap of the "artist." There was a girl who was disabled/disfigured/diseased, and she ended up becoming the biggest and most popular artist ever due to the raw emotions she was conveying.

At the end she transfers her consciousness "to the cloud" and becomes completely digitized.

Anyone else read this?

No, but as you have noted, the method has the intrinsic property of being less accurate with fewer words and more accurate the longer the text.

How To Write Better Copy (Based on the Science of Persuasion)
Release early and often is a highly useful mantra. It's too bad the message is so bogged down in one infinite loop religious zeal. You don't have to follow apple closely at all to know that they clearly plan and break launch dates regularly, sometimes for years on end. No question that a fair amount of that is caused by scope creep and its-not-ready-yet syndrome.

Yes. I think it would've actually worked better if the toon shading was a bit more "toony" and the frame rate was lowered to 12. It would seem more "magical" that way, like the mixed live/cartoon scenes in Mary Poppins.

Conceptually, I like Seaside. But I simply can't get past the hideous abstraction-leaking URL scheme it insists on. They aren't resource locators; they're session IDs, with all the info stored in the session state. Users should be able to copy and paste URLs to things. They expect it, and that's not an unreasonable expectation.

genotyping is becoming commoditized, the interpretation of the A's, C's, G's and T's is not. We're in a sweet spot where rapidly falling costs:
- let us offer our service at a lower cost to a broader market
- improve the rates of discovery & create a more valuable interpretation
We have an economy of scale which will allow us to:
- negotiate lower costs
- have a bigger database of potential relatives to meet
- better interpret the meaning individual's genetics
Just a nit: is that "search/:query/:page"?

Now that they have the ability to invalidate files, there is only one lingering issue. On Mac (Firefox, Chrome and Safari) our image assets aren't delivered 100% of the time. According to the AWS team, it's due to an IPV6 bug.
I'm not positive what you mean "you need the header files to use includes". header files should generally not include other files. C files include headers. If the headers have a dependency that can't be resolved by a forward declaration, it's often best to make the C file include the headers in the right order.

headers including headers leads to messes where people just include a random selection of headers and hope that pulls in everything they want. It's very annoying to untangle years later.

OK, I'll give away the answer: It's not there. I don't think binary trees are even in the standard library for Python or Ruby. It's a sadly neglected data structure because, when exposed for what it is, it's a little bit too computer science-y for most people's taste.
If it is a missile, then clearly a group of people with a boat should go and recover whatever it is. Since the military denies that they own it, then it seems to be abandoned property.

Surely someone would be interested in buying the remains of it for the technology.

Since the military doesn't own it, then they can't really say anything about you selling/reverse engineering/posting online abandoned property that's probably sitting in international waters now can they?

Either that, or the military is caught in a lie to the American people.

I know if I see what looks to be an ICBM over my city, I'm headed for the closest fallout shelter and assuming the worst. Anyone putting up faux-ICBMs over major cities is clearly causing terrorism, as in causing terror, uncertainty and fear among the public by not explaining and warning them.

Heroku and Engine Yard (for their cloud service) are just front ends to AWS anyway. Your basically paying them for the luxury of not having to deal with AWS.

That or their owners get greedy, sell the companies, and the new owners move to "more economical hosting". Na, that never happens. ;-)
