It's true, there are idealists out there who don't care for money.

However if you're skilled and/or educated, getting $100K shouldn't be a problem.

Now getting $500K/year is a much more serious problem. I'm failing to get to that level by just being professional (and good). It requires more of a business type of mindset (or lots of luck).

Awesome idea. I took some time to rewrite in HTML5: http://brisy.info/colors/

Though the colours I'm getting are different. I wonder why.
Couldn't you just use Dropbox?
I wonder how well the color blind can detect second to second changes in hue? Not a complaint, just a genuine curiosity.

Any color blind out there care to comment?

I'm with you on this, clearly not many people here have actually served in the military to know first hand what 'rights' you do or don't give up when you serve. If anyone would just look at the situation as it stands right now, you would see that you DO give up certain rights when you are in the military...it's the price you pay when you choose to serve. And let's get this straight - it is a choice. Last time I checked, there was no draft being enforced...

This discussion is sad because in the end, if this kid is found guilty of leaking those docs, found guilty of treason? Smh...whether it's right or wrong, his 'pre-trial torture' will be the least of his worries. And if he is found innocent? It's pretty doubtful anyone gets sued over his wrongful imprisonment, idk, I could be wrong...
> Then I tried to see it from the employer's perspective...

I did the same thing, and I realized that it is in fact quite possible for a programmer to steal code; and furthermore if you are a clueless middle manager with strong reptilian reflexes in any number of bloated bureaucracies throughout the business landscape, then actually it wouldn't be too hard to sue a programmer—rightly or wrongly—through sheer ignorance.

So as much as my instinct is to agree with the prevailing attitude here in the comments, I have to admit that it is probably disturbingly easy to get blindsided by this.

That said, I think you have to go by common sense on these things. "Segregating knowledge" in your brain is nonsense. If you do that you're already crippling yourself as a developer. Ultimately your best protection is to simply not get involved with incompetent and clueless people, and always do good and ethical work. That's not too hard if you are a talented engineer in silicon valley, but probably easier said than done for the average code monkey in a cubicle farm. But in their case, contributing to open source might be the only way they ever pull themselves out of mediocrity thought; I'd take the risk either way.
A "correct" use of language, after you get past all the prescriptivists, basically means whatever is most effective and efficient at triggering the right neuronal firings in the most people's minds. For instance, more people will understand "their dogs" than "there dogs" (people who speak English as a non-native tongue are unlikely to understand the latter at all)—and the ones who understand both will understand the former more quickly.
Ask HN: Why Am I In College?
I have been rejected twice from the Computer Science department at my college, which severely restricts the CSE courses I am allowed to take. I skip most of my classes, instead teaching myself everything out of the textbook, only attending class to turn in homework or take tests. With this state of affairs, I find myself wondering why I even bother to go to college when I'm working on a startup and only attend college to learn more about programming. Could college doom my startup to stagnation? Could it retard the startup's progress so long that by the time my product is released its already irrelevant? I've talked to several people about this, and there are 3 main arguments for staying in college:

1. Networking. The people I could meet in college are too important, even if I can't get into the CSE department itself.

Counter-argument: This only works if there isn't a better way to network with like-minded people.

2. Ensuring I don't miss out on important concepts. By taking CSE courses, I ensure i'm on an equal educational standing with everyone else and that I didn't miss any important concepts that I wouldn't have picked up during self-study.

Counter-argument: You can't possibly know everything and trying to write a perfect program gets you nowhere, so self-study would be far less time-consuming but just as effective, and I know that I am already very good at my chosen area of expertise.

3. It's a safety net. Unnecessary risk is stupid, and most startups fail miserably. The time spent at college is worth spending to ensure I don't get thrown on to the street.

Counter-argument: The time spent during college could doom the startup before it even finishes its product. Alternatively, if the startup did fail, my situation wouldn't make it unreasonable to go right back to college and find intermittent work to support myself.

I may be confidant in my ability to craft a product that can support me, but I'm sure everyone whose startups fail miserably is too. What concerns me is that, of the two internships I had, all I learned was that I absolutely detest having a normal job. If my startup fails, I'd just try another one, and then another one. I probably would never even apply for a job that required a college degree, so if I'm not going to use the scrap of paper they give me at the end, and i'm teaching myself everything out of a textbook anyway, am I wasting my time and putting my startup in danger, or would dropping out be a stupid thing to do?

For reference, the startup is not web-based - it involves games. I have 2.5 years of college to go and live with my parents somewhere on the west coast of the United States.
being a little pretentious aren't u? 100K a year is damn good. It's not "Fuck you" money but it's a damn good and a comfortable life. That's successful in my book.
Nice! One small correction:
((h / 60) * 255) should be ((h / 24) * 255) probably
... perhaps because it should be h / 24 instead of h / 60 ?

body.animate({"background-color":
"rgb(" + parseInt((h / 60) * 255) + "," +
parseInt((m / 60) * 255) + "," +
parseInt((s / 60) * 255) + ")"});
Its funny, but the first thing I thought of when I read about Versions is the old Vax/VMS file versioning system(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Files-11#Disk_organization_and_...). That feature alone saved me tons of re-work in college. :)
Yes, just corrected this thanks.
This was a perspective altering read for me, and I still have some 200 pages to go. It is extremely dense, in the sense that there is just so much packed into each page, chapter and dialogue that you have to pace yourself.

So many times have I noticed Hofstadter making a play on his own words to prove a point about recursion or indirection or some other fundamental concept. It's truly a wonderful piece of work.

Contrary to most comments here I many times prefer IE 8's developer tools over Firebug or Chrome developer tools because of a very simple reason: IE 8 allows debugging JavaScript that is minified and which has all the whitespaces removed. Firebug goes crazy there and I so much wish it highlighted right part of JavaScript code while debugging even when there were no whitespaces in the code.

Frankly, a lot of local newspaper sites are looking more and more cookie cutter. You will see that many papers use very similar CMS systems & their national news is almost identical. They are also plastered with ads as well. They do have defining local content though, but their national coverage is generic and usually outsourced. I am not sure I would rank the quality of some of their pages as being better than a content farm that got their info from the same source.

I read it right after taking my first Discrete Math and Computation courses. My eyes were quickly opened to what computation and mathematics really are.

I fully agree. The problem is that these kinds of systems are generally pushed by IT and upper management in large companies. That's where the money is. And they don't really have a grasp how things work in the lower echelons, they must have some twisted idea that employees get more productive by clicking checkboxes and workflow buttons all day.

Those all seem to be senior positions, and only in certain cities. So I would agree that $100k+ is a common salary for an engineer, especially a senior one. But the original post was talking about the bare minimum as a professional, which should include various kinds of professionals, at different levels of seniority and various locations.

For example, I'd consider jobs like this to be "professional" --> http://www.indeed.com/salary?q1=electrical+engineer&l1=c... http://www.indeed.com/salary?q1=software+engineer&l1=sea...
From the information available it appears the passwords were hashed but not salted.
>....if you make $100K, rent is only a small portion of your income.

I'm not sure what you are thinking here.

If you make 100K, your take home pay after taxes is ~$6,000. For any reasonable place to live in SF - your going to be between 1800 and 2500 for a two bedroom.

Thats not "a small portion of your income"

Additionally - you may have health care costs of as much as 750 per month if you have a spouse and child on your plan.

Figure as much as 400 to 600 per month for a car. 100 for cable, 150 for an unlimited family cell plan. School costs for your kid, and god-forbid you. like me, have child support to an ex.

So:

6000 Income

750 insurance

2000 rent

100 internet/tv

150 cell

100 power

1000 kids school/child support

250 other debts

600 car+insurance

== 4950

That leaves 1050 for the remainder of the month. Which is ~260 each week for expenses such as food, gas, savings, a beer with friends, date night, a bottle of wine etc...

100k is literally the bare min in SF to live moderately comfortable.

Now assuming you didn't have the school/child support, you can replace that with savings, which is great. but for a lot of people it is a 1K expense not savings.

Additionally - this doesn't account for a lot of other potential monthly expenses that are common.
I'm on a P4 3Ghz at the moment, whereby I can hear my CPU buzzing away when its under load. On the .co.uk site the buzzing is audible, its taking >70% of the CPU, whereas on your site its nice and quiet taking just 6% of the CPU.
ok, it's an enlightening discussion on terminology.

Back to my main point - GPU vs. Itanic. NVIDIA GPU Tesla have 512 SIMD cores organized into 16 SM ("streaming multiprocessors") with 2 independent instructions (from 2 different threads) issued per SM per clock (each instruction goes to its' half of the SM, ie. to 16 cores wide SIMD group):

http://www.nvidia.com/content/PDF/fermi_white_papers/NVIDIA_...

That gives us
[16 SM x 2 instructions x [1-16 cores]] - anywhere between 32 to 512 ops / clock - 1000 GFlops in the best case.

The Itanic - 8 cores x 6 independent instructions - something like 200GFlops.
$100k might not be "successful" to anyone living in SF or NYC, but in 98% of the rest of the country, it is certainly a nice income. Don't buy into the ego.
Yes, probably. These things are also common in some parts of Europe. For example, I remember being told to beware of pickpockets and bag snatchers in Spain in the 90s.
Their "How to Play Guitar" page is actually pretty good. It should easily be 3 or 4, ahead of wikiHow, guitarreference, and about.com.

Pretty well (I use two for work). The drag to top & bottom, and Windows + arrow keys (try it if you haven't) make for some pretty fast screen organization. You can also resize vertically to the top or bottom of the screen, and you'll make the window fill height but not width.

Not that many applications have a rational layout if you drag them across two monitors' worth of width, or restrict them to a half-screen. Especially Microsoft applications. But omg is it nice to have full-width code from two sources side-by-side... it almost makes Visual Studio bearable (though I'd vastly prefer being able to rip windows out of VS). I still keep a decent programmer's text editor handy for quick changes and better side-by-side comparisons, but it's not too bad.

I was just gonna comment about Utah. I'm 25 and I just moved out of SLC to the Bay. I'm starting out at 85k in sort of a mid-level position, and I was hoping just to get 60k coming from Utah. I had absolutely no clue what to even ask for. I asked for 60, hoping to get 55, the HR person put it in as 60-70, and they came back and offered me 85.

Put in in perspective from a working student:
In my 2009 taxes, I filed for 13k. 2008, 12k, 2007 15k.

Average salary of my friends is probably somewhere around 40-60k, with educations varying from some college to a masters degree.

I work at a national lab, but I'm completely within the confines of the Office of Science. I make 30k more than the Research professors I worked for at the U.

On the other hand, I'm thinking of saving up to buy a house back there and just renting it out because there's no way I could buy one here unless I was making 150+.

That sounds pretty unprofessional, but is surprising to me. When I was applying for full-time positions this past fall (for post-graduation) I ended up having a lot of places to reject - no problems getting reimbursed from any of them. Accenture was not someplace I had applied to work, nor someplace I'd want to work, but hopefully your experience is atypical. This said, it can definitely be hard to pay enough attention to recruits and interviewees even in the best of circumstances... not that that's a good excuse for HR.
It's an interesting method he's developed to generate buzz for his company. Piggy backing big media draw-cards such as Facebook, Superbowl and Google claiming they are banning adds to try and prevent him operating generates a lot more free media attention than the adds themselves would have. I had no idea adultery sites even existed until now.

I'm not married but would have thought standard operating procedure would be to go to a singles website and just not tick married?

People have attempted to make C memory safe (i.e. bitc, cyclone), so you could write an OS in that, I guess. My original point however was that C itself is not, and that supporting C means supporting non-memory safe drivers, services, and programs.

If you can come up with a program that verifies whether a C program is memory safe or not (without constraining the language spec), well, hats off to you sir, I think I know a couple of security experts who might want to have a word with you :)
Libraries are a master-stroke of egalitarianism. They're paid for mostly by the rich, benefit the poor most of all, and when used as intended can't help but better the individuals who use them. They are about as free from corruption as any government program ever has been, are not strongly influenced by commercial interests, and seem to have almost supernaturally resisted the huge, ridiculous, parasitic bureaucracies that have latched on to other similar government programs.

They're worth having around just to be able to step back once in a while and say "Son of a sheepdog! It is possible!"
Here's a super-obvious fix: Facebook should show you what they're deleting.

It's easy to be confused about which user is currently signed in, even if you did create a new account you want to use for testing.

So FB should have an intermediary step that says:
WARNING: you are setting this account to test mode. That will involve DELETING its links to 354 friends (list some of them), 23 pages (list some of them), 5 years worth of status updates, etc..

Or simply don't allow an account to be set to test mode if it has more than 2 friends or 5 status updates (etc... some reasonable test).
