Off topic, but, wow was I surprised to see something from PC Magazine! It's been years since that site had anything other than month old news and reviews of year old products to offer!
Probably because the Google Crawler registered all "google beatbox" links leading to that page.

People have used this feature before to "fake" results, although this time it is clearly legit. It's a shame Google doesn't register hash (#) locations.
Enough with the "Oh gosh, Steve Jobs is not going to live forever! Run for the hills!" quiet (and sometimes not so quiet) hysteria.

Whenever Steve Jobs stops working for Apple, for whatever reason, there will certainly be a drop in Apple's stock. And then after a couple of quarters people will see that the company is performing just as greatly as it has been before Jobs' leave, and things will get back to normal. If you don't feel like weathering such turbulence sell your Apple stock right now and enjoy the ROI.

I do think that there probably isn't anther Steve Jobs out there, but I disagree that there aren't people, who can be great next CEO of Apple. In fact I think there are plenty such people at Apple.

Women ARE encouraged to be competitive. It's ubiquitous. Most women just choose not to engage in that type of competition.

Almost every movie these days will have a woman who is competitive. In action movies she will be a 100 pound waif who is capable of knocking out 250lb men with a few kicks. Or in less action oriented movies she'll be a super genius who shows up the boys with her brilliant deductions and knowledge. Look at Hermione - the nerdy, highly competitive role-models for millions of little girls. Girls idolize her but they typically do not take on her hyper-competitive nature because there is no need and a competitive mindset is usually caused by androgens more than anything.

Little girls are fed competitive female role-models constantly and are encouraged to be competitive. They are enrolled in soccer at a young age and encouraged to join leadership contests and writing contests and so on by schools, parents, and governments alike.

It's just completely not true that girls are not encouraged to be competitive. They are, to an extreme degree. The simple fact is that most girls quickly learn that it's a lot easier to get what they want by being beautiful, girly, and socially savvy than it is to spend hours hacking code.

As a 14 year old male nerd, if your computer is broken, you have no choice but to figure out how to fix it so you can play Quake or whatever. A 14 year old girl on the other hand learns that the easiest way to fix her computer is to get the nerdy guy to fix it for her. This is just simple economics.

Women who get into tech usually were raised by a parent who taught them to love technology/science for it's own sake. It takes an exceptional kind of parent to raise this kind of child though. Most kids don't have this - male or female.

Sorry, but this sounds illogical to me. How introducing some additional new CSS syntax is less Yet Another Syntax than just using some already established (but not popular) syntax? SASS has its user share (and easy to learn too) and new syntax has no users at all.
Only if she had a certain intolerance for that kind of behavior. I don't think it should be expected that she has to conform to their behavior. That's not the polite expectation, anyway.

I don't associate with many geekier types of people, despite a lot of overlapping interests, for precisely this reason. I'm very sensitive and easily hurt/annoyed by that kind of behavior. So I avoid a lot of things that I'm actively interested in because the crowd is so abominable. The gaming world in particular; I don't even look at games which draw is online play, because I've never found an online gaming community that I've felt comfortable being a part of.
Entrepreneurs: Do One Thing Every Day That Scares You
The "Beatbox" button is under the untranslated text (that is supposedly in German).

It's easier to see if you set it to translate German -> German, because then both listen buttons will become beatbox buttons.

True, but equally true if he'd had experience of girls/non-geeks/whoever he'd be more likely to adjust his delivery accordingly.

Basically I don't hold with the notion that there is a gang of males deliberately driving women away from tech.
The "listen" button now just reads the letters, which is still pretty funny.
One can assume that the chances for Steve Jobs are better then for the general public. As bad as it is, but more money buys better doctors and better care.

Actually there's been a long desire to reintroduce large game to North America to stabilize the ecology, increasing biodiversity and hopefully resolving food source problems for existing ecology.

If you want to think about the consequences of acting, you must also think about the consequences of inaction. Would there be as many wolf, coyote, bear and cougar attacks to people and herds in North America if there were a greater diversity.

Network. Keep in contact and form alliances to ensure free speech and free information as long as this is possible. Communication was the key point in the events in Germany before the wall was falling.

Don't split your energies in small fights. The next step must be democracy, not fights about details of politics. Who are the people you can trust? Can they form a party that ensures free elections?

Our hearts and minds are with you. And we wish you all the best on your way to become a strong democratic country.

Have You access to world news? German news tells us, that Ben Ali is in Saudi Arabia now. His wife is said to have brought 1.5 tons of gold (worth 49 million euro) out of the country.

edit: I just read, that there are strikes in Jordania as well. Inspired by the events in Tunisia. (And Gaddafi in Libya didn't sound too happy about the events as well, maybe frightened of a revolution in his country as well)
My bad. I knew that they didn't really ask for assignment to them for all GPL software, but I was under the impression that at some point, at least, they were suggesting something along the lines of "if you want our legal representation then feel free to assign the copyright to us". Not in a mafia 'protection' way, either, but more of a logistics thing than anything.

Either way, that doesn't seem to be the case.

I can completely understand why they want copyright assignment with the GNU software, though. Having everyone keep their copyright 'feels' nice, but how many projects have we seen that end up almost frozen because they want to do something with the license but can't find all of the copyright owners, let alone get them to agree?

For some context, this app is by Robert Hodgin who is quite the visual graphics hacker. Check out the videos he links to. He also created Magnetoshpere which was purchased by Apple and is now the default visualizer included in iTunes.
Oh, definitely not deliberately! But inaction can be just as harmful sometimes, if our natural actions are serving to drive others away.

The argument isn't whether or not some people, including many women, are turned off by the current culture of programming. They absolutely are. The argument is whether it's the responsibility of the current culture to try and adjust its ways to let more people in, or if it's okay to let it stay the way it is. People in this thread are making arguments for each side.
Given their relation to the Kangaroo you could possibly selectively breed towards the Thylacine, although it would probably make them monstrously unhealthy to the point that blowing on one would likely kill it.

I'm unsure of Marsupials cross breeding ability, so I don't know how much biodiversity could be introduced if a selective breeding project was undertaken.

I don't want to sound like I'm slamming perldoc, but you see, even its use is a programming aptitude question. The help is probably not that helpful for novices.

Note that offering 'perdoc -f' shows that you are interpreting "keyword" in the original question as "something that resides in the perlfunc list". Fairly specialized knowledge.

I go back to coffee for two reasons:
1. Invariably I hit a stretch of life that requires great effort and I just /need/ a cup of coffee (last year it was a week with 2 transatlantic flights followed by a conference presentation).
2. Iced Coffee in the Summer makes life worth living. It is a true joy of life, and I always tell myself "just this one time."
I had to laugh, the same thing struck me as I read it. I'm sure she is very good, but in my own experience impostor syndrome merely increases with time. I came out of university thinking I was good. Now, I feel worse every year. In objective terms I'm clearly better, and make a huge effort on continual learning and improvement. But now I know enough to know how much I don't know.
You know who else shares my phone number and address? The phone book!

but the phone book doesn't call up the websites you visit to tell them that it's you that's visiting them. It's not about the specific information being available; it's about the context it's available in and what other information it could be connected to.
It's hubris to recognize it outside of your own head! Although that's rather a culturally biased observation I admit.
The "beatbox" link is absent for me, and the "listen" link is present but doesn't work for me. shrug
Why would anyone would be afraid of looking silly by asking a technical question, while at the same time calling themselves Googlers and Nooglers?

What is a Rockstar Programmer?
Quite often the term "Rockstar Programmer" is mentioned in comments or posted articles.
It seems to be a short term for a programmer with numerous qualities, which are still obscure to me (since I'm quite new to HackerNews and the startup world in general).
And that makes me wonder - in my ears, a "rockstar programmer" rather has negative connotations.

When I think of qualities a good programmer (or developer, engineer, hacker...) should have, I just can't connect these to the characteristics of my image of a rockstar (these are subjective, of course). For example:

A good hacker should be a skillful coder.
Which skills does a rockstar need? Does he really have to be that good a musician? Granted, you may have to posess a certain amount of musicality to become a rockstar, but the rockstar business is really not a contest of who can play the guitar the most virtuosly. I personally know several people who are better rock musicians than lots of those who are rockstars. And I wouldn't know how to translate skills like stage performance or a thrilling voice into the programming world.

A good programmer should be passionate about the product he works on.
Ok, this would be true for a rockstar too. But not only for a rockstar. This should be true for every person who is a "builder", whether he creates software, essays, a painting or a skyscraper.
Passion about his music is not a defining quality of a rockstar.

In fact, the word rockstar does not describe any personal quality whatsoever - the defining attribute of the word is fame. And no rock musician gets famous just for his skill, you have to want to get famous. For what I can tell, this is true for 90% of all famous people. Fame and skill do correlate, but so does fame and PR. Some people even are more famous for their escapades than for their great abilities.
Now how should that be important for a good programmer? I would rather consider it harmful if someone has the unstoppable will to outshine everyone including those who are just as skillful und passionate. And being too focussed on one's own reputation can significantly distract the sight to the best solution for a problem, which would be another strength of a good hacker: open-mindness and out-of-the-box thinking.

Or is "rockstar" trying to express something like "extraordinary", "outstanding"? Then say outstanding, that's more precise. Even better would be so say "outstanding in <insert skill here>".

Or "excentrical but genius"? The better term for that would be nerd.

So what is meant by "rockstar programmer"?
Maybe there is something I don't get, and I'm happy for every clarification since it would help me understand the conversations and articles better.
A Brief History of Scala
tl:dr; settle for "selective brilliance"
I was wondering when something like this would be released. Well at least in an easy to use way that supports the Twitter ecosystem. I remember having long active discussions in #gamedesign and we found out how Twitter was not built for any type of real conversation.
For years Yahoo! converted 30% better than AdWords on the same keywords for several of my active CPC clients.

So on one hand the US has completely given up the moral high ground and basically said "cyber sabotage" is fair game. On the other hand, we thought it was ok to give access to every US embassy's cables to just about any private in all of the armed forces who felt like poking around. I can only think this will end badly.

Here's a mixed metaphor: its like the people in the glass house throwing the first stone.
It seems that the "Beatbox" button is created after the page load, probably by some Ajax call. That may explain why some people are not seeing it.

How much do you suppose is the popularity of tiling wm due to the increase in affordable screen area? I just ordered a 27" monitor for $300.
But whats more incredible about this is the change in attitude it has brought about. I’m starting to see through the irrational fears that I have (and everyone else does too) and doors are starting to get opened left and right.

Well said!

We are bound to the patterns we create in our own life. Everything we know and do we fit into systems, so that we can understand and process the information we've got. The problem with this is that while these patterns help us they simultaneously limit us, so that if we are not consciously aware of those patterns we find it hard to escape them.

Look at anybody who's made anything worthwhile and you'll notice that they always made it by consciously looking at what limited them and defying those limits. I just read a series of interviews with Stanley Kubrick, the legendary director of 2001 and The Shining; one thing that emerged every time he talked about film was that there was no extraordinary leap of genius that led to his masterpieces. He simply made sure to look at what he was limiting himself to and then, time and time again, do things that forced him into new areas.

This isn't just advice for entrepreneurs. It's advice for anybody who wants to truly appreciate what life's capable of, experience the truly sublime moments that make all the other moments worth it. (But I guess the difference is that entrepreneurs, and all makers, really, are striving to create new things which will help other people break out of their own patterns. And what a joyful career that is!)

I think the author may be interested in looking at user defined/dynamic patterns/extensible matchers or whatever the name is, as seen in F# and Scala

Basically where you can define your own pattern rule as a simple method in a class, and later use it for destructuring and matching, e.g.

var Http= new Regex(stuff with (protocol)(domain)(path))
var Http(protocol,domain,path) = "http://foo.com/bar" # variables protocol="http",domain="foo.com", path="/bar" assigned

Which may be there in the language already, but I have not seen it mantioned
While I really dislike a lot of things about Amarok, particularly its UI design, I love it in that it's a media player that seems to constantly strive to add new, innovative features that let its users do new things with the music that they love.

I'm wondering why its code name is "Slipstream", though. Is that a name that refers specifically to a new feature? Or are all Amarok releases so colorfully titled?

(As an aside: If you haven't listened to the Mike Oldfield composition Amarok that the program gets its name from, remedy that immediately. It's an absolutely stupendous hour of music, perhaps my favorite album ever. Excerpts on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fs3NgTIXqfc)
What do men do when entering female dominated professions (e.g. primary school teaching)?

After the government forces them to prove they're not pedophiles, of course. Say what you like about the software industry, we don't have ritual humiliation baked into law.

But the alternative is becoming part of the collateral damage of the arms race seeking to fill Google with cruft.

Or shutting off all comments.

Or escalating the arms race with subnet firewall blocks, content and email address filtering, reactive security, moderation or (if you have the appropriate audience for it) crowd-sourcing.
Great list, one thing that might be interesting for a lot of folks is django-sentry, developed by the folks at disqus. That app allows you to do centralized logging from an arbitrary number of django (or other python) applications. Saves a lot of hassle especially for widely distributed systems!

Maybe it looks to others as if "he's done it."

The question is: does it feel that way to Jobs?

I agree, that he does not like to be bored. But what seems to have been his 'fix' in the past for being bored is... revolutionizing some corner of techdom. Seems to me it's only a matter of whether he comes up with a materializable dream to tackle.

I check that all the time.
I don't think he would appreciate being 26 years old and making $100 a week again. I think perhaps his feeling of emptiness is not due to his possessions, but due to a lack of passion: he probably needs a more interesting job. I would definitely rather have money then not have money, if the rest of the variables (health, relationships, job fulfillment) are the same.
Yeah, settling for mediocrity didn't work out for those Twitter guys either =)
