I agree that i takes awhile to become a good developer, but you need teach yourself front end stuff at least. That's unless you already have a bunch of developer friends willing/wanting to be apart & turn your idea in a reality.

There are so many posts here and experiences (my own) where someone is looking to create an idea but they do not have the friends or the ooomph to convince others to join him/her to build their idea or start-up. If you fall into such category go out and learn html, css & photoshop and hire a developer. It will take you longer but you'll gain a skill, have better control of your vision and most important your idea will become a reality.
Awesome! Can you please add other TLD's?

How Did Apple Let Kinect Slip Through Its Fingers?
I do the meat and potatoes of my work in MS Visual C++ Express. I find, the best development environment is the one that you've been using for 10 years. When I do iPhone builds, I first do my best brontosaurus impression, then I copy all my code and art onto a memory stick, unplug my monitor, mouse and keyboard from my PC and then plug everything into my Mac.

I'm not sure if this was serious or not.

Personally, I wouldn't use the TV recommendations as I generally recommend getting a plasma rather than LCD unless you absolutely need a TV smaller than 42", are concerned about power usage more than picture quality, have direct sunlight hitting the screen for a large portion of the day, or are going to use the display a mostly still image 24/7 (e.g. airport flight schedule).

Otherwise, the picture quality of plasma TVs are dramatically better than LCDs.

If one was a clever terrorist, you might eventually come to the conclusion that you could do more economic and psychological harm by examining the things people want and need to be able to fly with and then running terror plots that use those items. Things like shoes, underwear, liquids, and electronics come to mind.

But of course, we'd never be so stupid as to play into the terrorists hands this way. I'm sure they don't laugh at us running around like idiots throwing away toiletries, getting strip-searched, and shuffling through security barefoot while someone ogles our naked bodies in another room. We sure showed them!

It's not only about kernel, see this thread from the Git mailing list:

"C++ is a horrible language. It's made more horrible by the fact that a lot of substandard programmers use it, to the point where it's much much easier to generate total and utter crap with it. Quite frankly, even if the choice of C were to do nothing but keep the C++ programmers out, that in itself would be a huge reason to use C."

I believe a summary is best stated as "See, we're doing something!" Doing something, and doing the right thing, are very different things, but one is simple, and the other requires thought and risk management.

You can imagine which is rewarded and which is punished. Not just by politicians and bureaucrats, but by the public as well. The general public is also responsible for this absurdity by not being willing to accept some risk as being unavoidable.
"I'd managed to turn my room into the cleanest and quietest place in the house, which meant everyone else wanted to spend a lot of time there"

How true! My home office was also my workshop/server room. I got tired of the heat, noise and technorubble, so I gave away the desk, moved the servers to the (much cooler) basement, and stripped the whole room down to just a sofa and mostly empty bookshelf. Now it's in high demand, and I only use it when I'm home alone. But at the same time, I got rid of all our towers and switched everyone to wireless laptops, so it's not too hard to find a quiet corner anywhere else in the house to work.

The reason system administrators have responsibility for installing and configuring software on production systems isn't because programmers don't know (or can't learn) how to do it themselves. It's typically because production systems are multi-user with uptime SLAs, meaning that software must be installed and configured in a reliable, repeatable way that works for everyone, not just one person.

The fact that sysadmins do often have that responsibility, though, means that sometimes programmers have less incentive to learn it themselves.

user@host3# scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa_hopping* user@host4:~/.ssh/

The point of all of this being that host4 should be able to do anything on host2, but only be able to use host1 as a hop:

user@host4# ssh -oProxyCommand="ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa_hopping host1" host2

I've been looking for a plugin API to add this capability to web apps for several years now, and have been let down by every option out there.

The closest you can get is TokBox, which seems to have abandoned development on its API about 2 years ago, before they got it to a working state.

Somebody needs to start a startup in this space and get it working well enough to charge me money for it. It should take you about a day to get it working by cobbling together Flash sample code and a license to their crazy-expensive media server.

How should I go about finding the best fit for this scenario?

> Such has been the success of computer technology that whole swathes of industry (such as book printing, but there are many others) no longer need any workers at all. Everything is computer-controlled, computer-driven. Suddenly there are NO labour costs, so the former advantages of the Third World are being rapidly wiped out once again.

i don't follow how the article goes from this to looking forward to everyone being involved in a 3rd industrial revolution. the conclusion i would draw is that there is an unprecedented unemployment crisis looming.
The idea is that robotic manufacturing would be the next stage of the industrial revolution. Meaning that lost manufacturing jobs are not necessarily a bad thing, but rather a natural procession to more advanced division of labor. Indeed, the focus on "keeping jobs" at all costs may be harming development.

But we could also say robots are a means to evade the uncompetitive nature of the labor market. By adding restrictions, politicians are forcing businesses to shift their manufacturing to automatic processes rather than human laborers. So we have lower skilled people prevented from working (and sometimes from ever gaining employment), expensive high-skilled technicians and engineers and expensive technology. The free market will route against barriers, often with unintended consequences. For now at least, Chinese laborers are a better alternative to autonomous robots.

Like "making money"?

Kidding aside, I think you can mix free with proprietary in a way that's beneficial to the community without giving away too much. Google seems to do a lot of open source these days even though there is tons of stuff they keep to themselves. They seem to have a decent image for the work they do perform.

Sun had sort of a weird image, IMO - they were kind of heel-draggers in some ways, ahead of the curve in others. More than anything they just seemed confused. I don't think that, overall, they ever really figured out open source and what they should do with it.

Oracle's ideas about open source seem to be along the lines of "take what we can, give as little as possible back". We'll see though...

How the Web is being Distorted
Judging by the wide range of profiles, I'd say the format is flexible enough to address all of your concerns without changing a thing. Some of the featured users focus only on what they use to get work done, while others come off as proud technohoarders. Some choose to be explicit about their philosophy, while others let the setup speak for itself. I don't really favor one approach over the other, but I always find the choice of what to include or not include fascinating. In any case, it's one of the few sites where I read every article, so I think they're doing something right.
I've also noticed this. Other thing no mention on any source control system.
EForth and Zen
FWIW, "Learn Python the Hard Way" has the words "beginner" all over the place and is quite obviously not intended to be a reference. This kind of book is designed to offer training and practice for a complete beginner, not to be a knowledge repository for use by an intermediate+ programmer.
It's only really bad for Google if people consistently get send to demand media articles and are unhappy with the experience compared with the alternatives.

I'd imagine for a lot of keywords the demand media article your getting wouldn't be all that bad compared with alternatives available. The key is to rank higher quality sources above this kind of stuff where available. I'm sure average internet users are becoming smarter all the time about evaluating the Google results and the page they land on to decide if there is any value there.

He was responding directly to her comment: "It is not my job to avoid getting assaulted. It is everyone else's job to avoid assaulting me."

It is not a question of identifying a sexual assailant (it is clearly the guy), or in trying to assign blame to the woman (this is out of her control.) If you read what he wrote, he was not denying any of these points. He was not talking about social justice. He was nitpicking one of the things she said which was not about social justice.

He also did not deny that she was not looking out for her personal safety. He simply said that it was incorrect not to take responsiblity for this -- she did appear to take responsibility but in her message says that it's "not her job". He is just being pragmatic. Predatory people exist; often we have to protect ourselves from them.

> In the professional realm, Arduinos are not that popular. They're just too expensive.

It seemed to me the comparison in the article was more toward something like an ARM-based platform. In my opinion a large part of the success is the combination of price (compared to $100+ microcontroller development boards) and accessiblity (a mostly out-of-box tool chain and set of libraries).

> The microcontroller that the Arduino uses costs a few dollars, which is a tiny fraction of $30 for the whole board.

Keep in mind that part of the cost of the board is "sustainable development" due to it being produced in Italy with apparently known labour practices.

Still worth reading the book.

The crucial point isn't that it's a technology disruption, but a business disruption, in the sense that (1) customers of the new technology have different needs (or ranking of needs); (2) vendors of the new technology need to supply it in different ways.

One example from the book, on disk drives, is that in moving to smaller disk drives that were more popular in laptops, (1) for customers who valued small physical size and mechanical robustness over storage size and cost per MB; (2) the manufacturers of which came out with new models twice as quickly as the previous size (incumbent organizations found it difficult to change all their internal procedures to adapt to this new rhythm, new sales channels, new customer demographic - everything changes, both "build something" and "that people want", not just the tech).

Because it's not a technology problem, but a business problem, the proposed solution is not a separate tech lab, but a separate business unit - one that can be happy with tiny sales, and that can be organized by the needs, ranking of needs, and rhythms of the new market.

[It seems to me that sadly, this amounts to a startup, which the incumbent owns; this will save them financially, but won't save their organization.]

A current example is ARM CPUs in smartphones, which appear to have disrupted intel x86 architecture. But I hesitate to count intel out - they've been around the disruption cycle a few times (having invented the microprocessor and integrated circuit).

> "I find it very hard to believe it is common for women to get sexually assaulted at a tech conferences"

And that's the crazy part. It doesn't make sense. You've got intelligent folks, not the dregs of society or anything, and yet, it is common. I attended a tech conference earlier this year in which one of the attendees set up an open space to discuss "invisible diversity" (transgender / genderqueer, sexual orientation, neurodiversity, etc.).

1/10th of the conference's attendees presented as non-male, while 1/2 of this particular open space presented as non-male, which seems to indicate that it touched on a subject of particular interest to folks that didn't fit into the white, cisgendered, male majority.

More interestingly, most of the non-male individuals in attendance explicitly stated that they felt sexually threatened at most conferences.

Crazy, right?

But when someone makes that claim, and sufficiently many others offer their assent and echo the claims, then I'm left having to believe that, yes, those things do happen, and at a far greater rate than is directly visible to you or I.
