I've been waiting for this to be released for a long time, but am very underwhelmed. This is not really HTML5 (the comics are made up of cut up images in li tags) and the lack of good mouse interactions with the reader is annoying. I hope it gets better.
The https site seems to be up, if your problem was just getting to the homepage.
Me too,

It seems like a logical part of that would be to have each protocol documented and encapsulated in a library.

Also, I'm working on a multi-protocol client which would aggregate a number of sources, so it would be especially nice to the have a library to call so that I could add one more source.

In any case, your work looks fabulous and I will spend some time digesting your links.
Python 3.2 Eases Concurrent Development
In the past 3 years that I've used Rails I've used tons of gems. I've seen exactly 1 gem in total that was messed up by the presence of ActiveSupport. I'm really wondering where you got the impression from that monkey patching is such a big problem.
Yes. If I understand that correctly, if a user activates a phone with Google that means manufacturer opted into the paid Google Experience package.
It looks like it's only aspirationally multiplatform, not Win/Mac/Lin like the article says.

Indeed, which is why I was highlighting an example of "doing it right" (aka acting like mature professionals). Even when business issues don't get in the way there's still plenty of room for personal and emotional issues to bring down the level of discourse.

PHP. My first language was a web language, not basic or anything like normal people. It just came naturally to me while learning html/css in 6th-7th grade, when I realized I could make online games. It's really fun for people who don't know programming.

Javascript. I can send stuff without refreshing my page using AJAX? Sweet deal.

Java. They teach it in schools, so what the heck. I learned recursion and objects with it!

Ruby. Is. Love. MVC, scaffolding, etc etc was introduced to me through rails. omg why does PHP look ugly all of a sudden?

Perl. I backtracked to learn about CGI. Helped that its syntax had similarities to PHP. Useful tool language for processing stuff especially text.

C++. Whoa I can get programs to run that fast?! Whoa I understand pointers, omp & tbb, and cool low-level stuff!

MIPS. Well, it was useful for learning pipelining.

Python. Useful/sweet language that everyone seems to be all over at least on campuses, but I discovered Ruby first so python was kind of "what's the big deal I can do this in ruby" for me.

Clojure. My first lisp! So weird. Cool? You're supposed to be good at parallel stuff, I can't wait to learn more about you.

But he did no innovating - what is the of entrepreneurship. By the way it is dangerous approach to try to get as good as Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Roger Federer at anything. You have to be the best in the WORLD. Very high risk strategy.
There isn't going to be any burning. What's going to happen is that banks and CC companies will proactively scrub their client lists for anything that looks even vaguely controversial, and hose it before it blows up in their faces.

After this, the banks will be afraid of Anonymous, and they will do whatever it takes to stay off their radar... including turning down a lot of legitimate business. "Politically unconventional" organizations around the world are about to get the same arms-length treatment that adult sites have always gotten.
That's his excuse and he's sticking to it.
SCRATCH OFF TICKETS
That's a lot of words and generalizations, but doesn't seem to explain why a corporation that chooses to aid in an unlawful attack should be pitied when they fall prey to an unlawful attack in retribution.

You seem to be of the opinion that suddenly suspending the account of an organization that hasn't broken the law is a neutral, harmless action.
What do you want to do?

If you have some lazy habits, generally just want a nice place to work, and to afford rent, a car, good food, and to play xbox, I might choose elsewhere. Or maybe not.

If you have an idea and some drive, it's an utterly fantastic place to live. Sure, in some places the rent is a little high and the burn rate in general can be large, if you're able to network and work your ass off, it can be perfectly doable.

I like SF quite a bit. I'm not sure I could live here for 10 years (I'm grew up in northeastern Ohio), but for the time being it's definitely where I want to be and I've been pretty satisfied so far. Good people, good nightlife (in most places, NOT the valley), and good work environments.

Oh, and good coffee. That counts too.

English - The language I know best, at least in terms of reading/writing. A wonderfully expressive language.

Hebrew - My "mother tongue". Much smaller than English, but it's the language I use every day (in the real world, I mean.)

Spanish - A language I'm learning (pretty good at already). Very lyrical, very fun to speak. Exists in many countries, which certainly helps when travelling the world. Also, having a written language system which is phonetic, i.e. corresponds exactly to how you're speaking, is so much better.

Russian - A language I'm starting to learn. Very difficult. Honestly, it doesn't sound as good as some other languages, but it is very fun to actually speak. Lots of unique sounds that you don't find in other languages, and they're really fun to make.

French - I barely know the language but I've learned a bit, and I'm planning to learn more. Very difficult, but it is a beautiful sounding language.
You don't seem to indicate what I would figure to be a major concern for you right now: Do you or do you not want to sell?

I think you should come to this conclusion within your team before doing anything else. Considering you personally sound pretty conflicted, you're going to have a tough time "winning" this challenge if each one of you has different ideas of the ideal outcome.

Once you understand that - that is, the ideal outcome - work towards that. Don't get sidelined by big companies and big money. As bluethunder says 99.9% of all deals never happen, so they aren't worth putting more than .1% of your daily effort into (figuratively speaking here, of course).

I'd say this as well: Do not for a second believe that being acquired is some sort of growth mechanism for your dreams. It is by definition the exact opposite; the death of your company. No matter what, the company you have, its plans, culture, desires and particulars will cease to exist. This will happen despite everyone's promises and best intentions.

What will exist may or may not be something you can live with, but it won't be the thing you are living right now.
C++: this got me into computers

Mumps: didn't ruin my life, just a year of it

VB6: wow you could get a lot of pretty productive stuff done quickly

Matlab: This is how math on a computer should be written.

R: Convinced me there is nothing better than a long lived environment with repl which preserves state. In fact, this is how all code should be written. Also demonstrates open source and provide the best software at least in technical niches.

Java: convinced me garbage collection is good and made me a much better typist.

Ruby: wow you can get a lot of work done quickly -- at least in dev time.

Scala: this is what java should be
Great point! High estate taxes gives an incentive to the wealthy not to pay estate taxes.

The original intent of my argument was that I don't like the idea of handing over half your estate to the government. I suppose the proponents of the high estate tax wanted avoidance of the tax via philanthropy as an intended side effect.

Thanks, I never looked at it that way.

Not really. In fact there are lots of non-"Google experience" phones. Pretty much any phone with an OEM launcher and app package (i.e. HTC Sense) is not a "Google experience" phone.

There are many devices, though, that don't use Google's activation but which use Android. It's pretty hard to estimate how many.

This article has some good points for people who are new to Objective-C, but (much like the comments you complained that people were downvoting) the snarkiness and condescension tends to distract from it.

Anyway, thanks for posting it.
FWIW, I'm one of the comments you linked to as being unhelpful.
To be perfectly honest, the actions of the 'anonymous' are pretty disgusting and it's bullying. A company provides a useful service to the majority of the on-line world and, just because they do something to protect themselves and their identity (there's a lot of people who dislike wikileaks) then this 'collective' decide to disrupt the whole company.

Bullying was pathetic in high school and is so much worse in the 'grown-up' world, especially when it affects so many normal people.

Robert Goddard's initial liquid fueled rocketry projects received generally negative publicity (a well-known NY Times editorial denounced the very idea that a rocket could operate outside the Earth's atmosphere, for example).

The transistor initially received very minor media coverage.

For years the laser was derided as a solution looking for a problem.

I briefly logged onto their IRC channel. It is a total chaos but still they all agree to one target. They have also been hammering www.paypal.com port 443 so I expect this to do down soon too.
Timestamps, UUIDs, and such have no dependency on a central source (and thus, single source fo failure) for generating them. Much better scalability.

Even with a single server, not relying on IDs being sequental is useful when you want to do a database migration without temporarily shutting down the site. It is much simpler to merge the two databases together.
Flirting with languages

BASIC: in an Amstrad CPC6128 for providing lottery pseudo-random numbers for my grandfather. I liked the GOTO. Learning what is a manual

it's self-perpetuating in the same way as school bullying, too.

I suspect we are going to see two major changes over the next few weeks as a direct result of the "cyber-attacks" going on recently.

1. Financial services will re-evaluate the risks of this kind of attack vs. the cost of assigning more resources to guard against it.

2. Governments will finally start taking IT security seriously.

The latter is the more interesting, because while banks are generally reasonably clued up about balancing risks and will simply adjust their current practices, elected representatives who aren't technically inclined will probably be discolouring their underwear over the fall-out if the bad guys really tried to do some damage, given that it is this easy for a few upset people to cripple the world's payment systems.

I suspect that as a reuslt, we can look forward to increasingly draconian penalties being introduced for this sort of action in most jurisdictions, the end of on-line anonymity as it has been known, and ruthless throttling/disconnection of entire ISPs/countries that don't play ball with either of the above. If you thought government reactions to copyright infringement were heavy-handed, I imagine they will look like a nun comforting a child compared to what is coming next.

The sad thing is that better security, robustness, user authentication, etc. should have been built into the Internet by default for years, but the same "Wild West" evolution that was so successful in the early days has also been a poor driver of consolidation now that the Internet isn't just a toy for the military types and the universities any more. Maybe the Powers That Be will finally start taking serious advice about IT from people who know what they're talking about and collectively give the issues the attention they deserve. (I won't hold my breath, though; this could all end in tears, with a mess of ill-informed and poorly-implemented measures that cause all kinds of additional dangers to innocent people without actually fixing the real problem.)
Don't give up on California yet. Amazing place.
A correction: these sites don't scrape Stack Overflow's content, they download and use it directly and legitimately. Stack Overflow content is cc-wiki licensed and released in full data dumps every month, as long as the sites link to stackoverflow.com and otherwise comply with the cc-wiki requirements it's legit.
I don't think any of the bad press was justifiable, but it is a pretty crappy company name. Sorry. It's true. Try and think of ways you can confuse the name "Google", or "Amazon", or "Yahoo". Now think of ways you can confuse a name like "EasyDNS". EarlyDNS, EveryDNS, EastDNS, EaseDNS, EachDNS, InterDNS... You should always choose a company name _very carefully_ to limit this kind of human stupidity.

You don't think that Paypal is also a bully as well?

Closing people's accounts (not just Wikileaks) when they see fit, having no real recourse to try and get your money once that's happened etc.

Paypal have a reputation for being a bunch of thieves. I can't say I feel bad for them.

I've never been burned by them, I'm just going from the amount of people here that post a regular "Paypal froze my account" story.

Paypal is notorious to freeze accounts as they like, and bully people around. They can do this because they know they are big. Now they are starting to force their own political agendas on the world population as well. I've quit my account with them because I want this world to be a better place to live in, than being controlled by a bully who harass people.
Having gone through acquisitions myself, I've learned that BigCo tax issues are entirely different than YourCo tax issues - i.e. they're going to think about taxes (cap gains, operating taxes, etc.) with different rules than you will.

In other words, don't worry about that part. :)

I've been using the iPad for sales since a week after it came out. I picked one up in the US before it came to Canada, and EVERY person I showed it to was instantly interested in me, my presentation, and how big of a "tech guru" I must be to have one of those apple touchpad thingers. Really helped selling, and there is some great apps where I can hand the person the iPad, and flick through the powerpoint on my iPhone while I talk (Mighty Meeting)
All these 'x site id doen' posts are pretty pointless.
When basic, well-established press freedoms are being attacked by the US government, working without due process through multinational corporations, it feels a little more like self-defense than bullying.
as part of engineering at sfdc, I promise you we think very deeply about backups, DR and edge cases, as well as backwards compatibility, and not breaking your code/apis.

+1 for the key message here. Lawyers aren't negotiators, and you have to remember _all the time_ that they work for you in this negotiation, not the other way around. They will give you lots of advice, and you should think of it as such, and ask questions about the real risk you might be taking, and make decisions accordingly.

I've watched friends have sales fall through because they didn't trust their own judgment when faced with their lawyer's thoughts. Apply the same confidence you have (or fake) for building your product to the redlines from your lawyers.
At the 200,000 mark Schmidt clearly stated that they were undercounting because they only counted some Androids, the ones that come with the Google store basically.

But since those are the ones being advertised by big brands and sold through networks I'd guess the undercount isn't that much.
