I would not get along very well with people all around me - in the home, school & everywhere else.

Then my sister gifted it to me on a relatively long, boring journey and I finished a major portion of it as a better person.

TL;DR - This book tells you to be genuinely interested in people instead of just manipulating them for your own selfish gains.
I find it acceptable. eMule, PeerBlock, and verycd.com have always been my friends.
This dawned on me the other day: Invest in ski resorts in China. They've got a rapidly growing middle class, flush with money to spend, and there's nothing more middle class than skiing.
Wow. Super slick. Nice work.
We just launched, and we are trying to squash every bug we run into. Could you be more specific about the 'buggy' part you mention? Some particulars about it would really help us to make it better, we would really appreciate it!

Why are people obsessed with weather widgets?

In that small an amount of space you can basically get today's weather which I can see by looking out of the window which generally makes it a bit useless really.

Not saying that I wouldn't like a better notification screen on the iPhone - I really would - just that all weather widgets do to my mind is add a bit of graphical sugar but with no great purpose.

Or am I missing something? Does everyone else live in a bunker?
Tim Bray's graph isn't of revenue against time, it's of revenue against rank (i.e., whether the app is the best, second-best, third-best, in terms of revenue).
There's probably a lot of people that don't "get" Gmail and delete all of their messages. There's probably also a lot of people who sign up for an account and don't use it, ever, and they contribute to the numbers. Keep in mind ~80 MB is for everyone on the planet (all nearly 7 billion) in 500 PB.

I'm betting the average is a lot lower than we'd think.
Yep, KDevelop is nice too.

I really wish the various teams working on open source IDEs would work together to make one very good IDE with a good plugin infrastructure to support the union of their features, instead of a zillion quite-good-but-not-it ones.
iOS, actual app sales, only in the Dutch market.
I would second this whole-heartedly.

If you track time, you will find that some clients will question every single second. "So you spent x minutes finding stock images?! That means I paid you $x just to look?!"

Just set KPI goals that you'd like to be measured against and track performance on a weekly basis.
Does that include MS languages (C#, etc.?)

MDT Advisers - We're a small quant investing shop working with machine learning, financial analysis, and the hardest dataset in the world. We're mainly hiring for a general analyst position that’s about 60% programming and 40% financial and statistical analysis -- http://www.mdtadvisers.com/careers/qea.jsp . The people, problems, and pay are good, and we aim for good work-life balance(e.g. no 60 hour weeks).

You can email me at jlewicke@mdtadvisers.com with any questions you have.
Reminds me of http://www.coderun.com which supports C#, PHP, JavaScript, HTML and CSS. (and is free)

I'm curious to know what I get for this paid version? Is it mostly the Git support?
Thanks for the feedback. I have been slowly working on this. I'll play around with your suggestions and see if they help.
Great comments. So I just answered about pricing on a comment below, but here's the gist of it:

We charge per day to give you the flexibility of the cloud. Cloud9 is not an IDE alone, it's your tooling + test environment in the Cloud. So it's hosted, hosting costs money and we charge you for it. The idea is that if you are doing a commercial project with a good hourly rate, then paying 50 cents a day for the platform isn't a lot if it saves you significant time. If you're working on an open source project, Cloud9 is free.

The value is that you don't have to configure your systems, you dont have to keep them up to date and you'll be developing on a system that is identical to your deployment target. We're adding good deployment support soon to many different cloud hosters. This way deployment should be really a click of a button. Then there is the value of collaboration. Being able to work together with others from within Cloud9, editing and running code.

We are adding Ruby support soon, including step through debugging and gem support. We have webdav support and we'll soon support mounting your drive on your local machine for external applications to access your files.

For now, try Cloud9 for your open source projects and see how you like it. There are many more features to come in the coming weeks and months.

Little Bits Go A Long Way
good real estate deals are hard to come by. i recommend you reach out to the biggest broker in your area or even outside. but the bank is where the good deals are. Talk to your banker.
First, tell me how you did this so that I can make that happen. Please.

Second, and I've always said that I would do this, take 2 million and put it in very safe liquid investments. As a baseline, you can live off the interest from that money forever. The rest you can treat as "house money" and do angel investing, real estate speculation, etc.
But that's even worse. How is one icon meant to sum up somewhere that changeable?
Moeed isn't selling anything - he's testing a concept before spending a lot of time creating it. That's not unethical - it's smart.

My first thought when seeing this - I WANT IT. I'll buy a license as soon as it's available.

The only way this could've been executed better is with an opt-in to be notified via e-mail when it's available.
Nice article on an unattractive but effective technique. I like how it almost takes the form of a long sales letter itself!
If you're looking for longterm investments that are active, franchise businesses (7-Elevens, Dunkin Donuts, etc) are remarkably stable. Magic Johnson is a huge investor in these for this reason (and has a line of theaters)

Generally speaking, diversification is very very important.

Even though bonds, stocks, or other items might be doing poorly at the moment, diversification protects against a precipitous loss. So get some of each sort of security, some real estate, some counter cyclical stock (aka invest in companies that do fine in down markets). Make sure you get very comfy with your insurance agents as well: Liability and Errors and Omission insurance are very important now, as you're a target. Make sure you're properly covered on all your properties and that you use limited liability mechanisms with all your business ventures. Be very careful you understand what actions as a board member/fiduciary officer are not covered by the policies.

Additionally, keep more than you'd think is useful in a cash/near cash account. Opportunities arise quickly. The ability to write a 200k check this afternoon can make you many times your 5m sometimes.

A very serious aside:

At the same time, be very careful of deals with ??? in the plan, especially with people related to illegal drugs. If you're not sure what your money is going, it might be going to normal wasteful stuff, or it could end up related to drugs.

This is a good way to find everything of yours frozen, and you finding things getting seized (I looked at some of your old comments is why I mention this point, having known people who have had run ins when in a position like yours).
Some of the cropping is surprisingly excellent.

For instance:

http://placekitten.com/g/128/1024

worked so much better than I hoped.

http://placekitten.com/g/1024/128

Isn't half bad either.

Did you deliberately crop like this?
1964.

It is truly amazing just how much of what we use, from big ideas to little ones, was invented in the 1960s.
Written by a direct response copywriter, so it's going to be a bit biased.

I've tested short and long form, and while long form tends to do better for information products, if you are actually providing something of value, then usually a short form can work just as well.

Essentially - to sell shit, you need to spend a long time persuading someone to buy it. To sell gold, you just need a buy now button.
You didn't _have_ to colocate... you could get a shared server and pay a lot less, but give up root access. At the time though lots of sites were basically big CGI scripts and didn't really need their own server. Even these days you're still really talking $80-$100 a month for your own server, anything less and you're probably getting some kind of slice or VPS that you have to share with a bunch of other sites (as I was reminded this morning when Slicehost hard rebooted the machine my slice was on due to some other site misbehaving, taking down one of my sites temporarily.)
OpenSIPS is the sister of Kamailio, both being the result of a fork of OpenSER. Sipwise actually uses Kamailio as the core routing engine, and provides (as Open Source) all the building blocks like provisioning APIs, billing and rating systems, web interface etc. to create a fully fledged telephony system from start to end. Asipto's founders are the core contributors and co-founders of OpenSER/Kamailio, so Asipto provides the core competence in SIP routing and Sipwise offers the know-how of building highly available and scalable SIP systems.

Yes, OpenSIPS is used at telcos to create SIP services. Just be aware that it's more or less the same as Kamailio, which we use as SIP routing engine, and that it's only around 20% of what makes a telephony soft-switch.
This is very nice, don't get me wrong, but I have to wonder if there is a good design reason that Apple didn't go this direction in the first place.

There have been several mobile devices which used the "daily agenda" format for the home screen (my old iPaq comes to mind: http://www.bestezonlinestore.com/images/T/PDA1391SL-304.jpg) and while it intrinsically seems like a good idea I wonder why they chose not to go that way?
You're missing the point.

The issue is not the raw numbers, but the pychological problem - that people like you are not in power, or not as equally holding power. That you are not of the type of people who have power.

And yes, there are other privileges, like White privilege, middle/upper-class privilege, straight privilege, cis privilege, not-abused privilege, and so on. These intersect to cause more issues again.
Are GPAs in the US based on averaging all of the marks from all of the classes in a course?

If so I'd have don't rather badly rather than getting a First - the UK system generally puts the emphasis on performance in the final year (or it least it did in ye olden tymes).
A difference is that we support actual step through debugging for javascript. Indeed git support is another differentiator. Our Git UI will be released shortly too. We have a pluggable architecture to very easily extend cloud9 with new features. We are working with many developer oriented companies to add their services and tooling to Cloud9. Our aim for Cloud9 is to provide a full PaaS for software development in the cloud.

It's not exactly a "data structure" but we lean on expectations like these with some of our outgoing extraterrestrial communications when we send patterns based around prime numbers.
You should. I'm absolutely not a C programmer but I found I could follow the Redis source and figure out pretty much exactly what was going on for the most part - it's just a bunch of fundamental data structures hooked up to a simple network server.
Good luck! Please post your results when done.

Edit: Also, some of the things I checked did not apply to me 100%. I am assuming this is because while they are different in my eyes, they are equivalent in the test giver's eyes.

Remember you are surveying programmers which means T&F equals F. So if you want many programmers to check yes to something that partially applies, you should specify that.

If my assumptions are correct, I would change "Tick all that apply " to say "Tick all that partially or fully apply "

I would remove validation on that page as well or add a nothing applies option to the questions.
Current temp is the key one, which can vary widely throughout the day, is hard to tell by looking out the window and has the most impact on what you put on before you head out the door :)
Look for an "exclusive buyer agent" in your area for real estate. http://www.naeba.org/

There are many good deals in residential and commercial properties (used for rental income and a store of value).

If you are interested in the southwest Florida area, check out http://truesarasota.com. Call and ask for Bill. Mention what you wrote above. He will take good care of you.

You may want to try one or two residential rental investments and see if you prefer residential or commercial. It really does depend on your strengths and having a trustworthy network of people (handymen, estimators, inspectors, plumbers, electricians, etc).

Rent out your commercial unit ASAP. Get some revenue, at least to offset the taxes. Collect first month's, last month's, and a security deposit equal to the month's rent for your commercial property.

When a commercial tenant breaks the lease, you may be responsible for removing any materials and heavy equipment the previous tenant has left. This takes time and money and you cannot rent the space again until it is taken care of.

You may want to reconsider a personal office and use a home office instead. There may be better tax benefits to that situation, while generating additional rental revenue for your newly vacant office. Build a new detached home-office/garage.

You also have enough money to buy enough solar panels to never have an electrical bill (provided your house is not too large). There are many tax incentives for this, too. Not paying for electricity seems like part of a good strategy to beat inflation. This may also work for your commercial properties.

Congrats on your success.
I've often tried to figure out how to write good descriptions for iPhone apps, and I've never really found any good resources. App descriptions seem to be all over the place, but some of the elements in long sales letters seem to make their way in (the most visible being social proof in the form of listing good app store rankings or review quotes).

Does anyone have insight into this? How well does the long sales letter format translate to the app store?
You've attributed one connotation (probably the one most known to public due to media reporting of scientist malfeasance) to the phrase "massage data". Which actually has the more general meaning of to manipulate, to process data. Perhaps to get the data into different format, or to extract just the rows/columns/bits that are of interest.
I think it is wrong to say that long copy writing is a substitute of inferior offer. As Jeremy (in interview) himself emphasizes: long copy cannot sell a poor product.

Though I agree best idea is to A/B test long v/s sales copy to see which one clicks with your target customers.

Until you figure it out, immediately dump half of it into a Vanguard 500 Index fund (VFINX). Vanguard's management fees are tiny (one quarter of one percent-ish). No other risk investment will do you better than the S&P 500 as it's compound annual growth rate has been 8.92% since 1897. Also, getting in and out of the fund can be done in $100 increments and there are no fees for it, so your money stays in a pretty liquid state.

I think the sort of IP market that existed prior to fast broadband and easily reproducible goods is a lot closer to a functioning market than wonky systems where all users of broadband are taxed and can 'spend' their taxes on things they don't consume, completely out of proportion to their actual costs to produce.

I'm not saying public subsidies should be off the table, just that this proposal and others I've seen don't seem to be as good as reforming the current system.
How old are you? Are you married? Have Children?

I would suggest moving to New Zealand. They are looking for new citizens. You can buy a big ranch for nothing and live in paradise for the rest of your days.

Or, if you have young children, you could move to northern Europe- Sweden or Finland. Your children are very likely to receive quality healthcare and education.

Or, if you really have to stay in the U.S., I would invest a fraction of your nest egg in ammunition. Really. This stuff lasts forever and only goes up in value. Gold is almost useless to me.

Or, you could buy the abandoned house next door to me in St. Louis, MO. In the past it housed a hoarder and a grandmother of drug dealers. It has gone many weeks without a door and has been empty now for months. If you buy this house, I cannot promise to feed you for the rest of your life, but if you still live in America, are honestly trying to feed yourself, and are unable too- I will help you find something to eat.

Let me know.

GPA calculation varies from school to school, and even from department to department within a school. Classes might be weighted differently across a variety of factors such as difficulty, hours, and course work, thus, a straight average, although common in many scenarios, is not always the hard and fast rule in the US.

Heck - even the stuff that I barely pay attention to did better than that.

How many of you lost 30% on the investments that you manage?
Looks like it is going to be, but it would be nice if you could have something like this for the "lock" screen.
Of the books on that list, the ones I think you could call legitimately essential are:

SICP -- K&R -- CLR[1] -- Design Patterns -- Mythical Mammoth -- TAOCP -- Compilers (Dragon Book) -- Effective C++[2] -- Programming Pearls -- Peopleware -- Little Schemer[3] -- Modern C++ Design -- The Practice of Programming[4]

[1] ... except I'd recommend Skiena instead of CLR.

[2] ... except I'd recommend Effective STL over any other Meyer book, and I also wouldn't concede that C++ is essential.

[3] ... except I'd recommend Lisp In Small Pieces, which I know is a totally different book, but do you need it and SICP?

[4] ... but only to someone new to programming.

You can see I've chucked all the methodology and career crap (except for Brooks and Peopleware; I think you probably already know everything in Brooks, but Peopleware is something you should reread annually).

To that list I might add:

On Lisp -- Javascript: The Good Parts -- Pattern Oriented Software Design #2[1] -- Computation Structures -- Computer Architecture (Hennesy and Patterson) -- C Interfaces and Implementations -- The Visual Display Of Quantitative Information -- Windows Internals[2]

[1] ... this book was wildly* ahead of its time and is no doubt overlooked because of it's patterns-y enterprise-y marketing.*

[2] ... 10 years ago I'd have recommended _The Magic Garden_ but, even though I'd rather eat a bug than use a WinAPI system full time, it's hard for me to argue that Unix kernel design is as relevant now as the Windows kernel --- and, more importantly, there's no Unix book that does as good a job as Russinovich on the Intel architecture.

I wish I had good books to recommend on:

SQL performance optimization -- distributed systems -- compression and coding -- the HTML/JS DOM programming model.

The reality is, at this point in my career, I don't find myself going to books for programming stuff so much; that doesn't mean I don't read, but I tend to take the "man pages" approach. So my choices may date me. If I'm going to pick up a book today, it's going to be for something domain specific. I find myself reading for maths (I suck at math), or for graphics, or for market microstructure, or signal processing. I won't pretend that stuff is relevant for everyone. I feel confident, though, in saying that nobody needs more than one "Agile" book.
Which would be great if it were something resembling the current temp but on all the weather apps I've seen the best you'll get is a weather forecaster's prediction (nothing actual) and the best accuracy is three hours.

Maybe that's just the UK and the US is getting something more accurate but I'm guessing not.
