Ditto here, particularly with regards to blogging. Community participation also has helped me, although it was one of those "overnight success in five years" stories.
I really think this is a great idea - and would work well along with the following:

I recently went through several rounds of interviewing at twitter (didnt get it) - but had I got it, I was planning on submitting the following as a model suggestion:

Twitter has proven itself as a very valuable communications/pr channel for a vast number of celebrities, news sources and brands.

Twitter should provide a more broad content platform to the critical mass of influential people, sources and brands by allowing for larger content to be hosted on Twitter.com itself.

Effectively visualized as a slide-to-the-right "extended content" panel that would allow celebrities, as an example, to have exclusive content and articles hosted that are directly accessible from twitter, and the twitter client etc...

You would continue to have your regular succinct content flow - but you can drive traffic to deeper-dives on your expanded panel (It effectively allows for full-length content to be hosted in-line.

This can be monetized by twitter in a rev sharing manner such as you suggest.

If you searched for something, you could be driven to the extended content pages and then be shown the contextual stream of tweets that apply to that content as well.

Twitter has two options; find a way to properly monetize the message format they have, or modify their offering. There could be a good hybrid as well in this approach.
I keep ending up with "cow-mega" Or maybe mega cow.

I believe that would be fine if everyone was as tech savvy as you and I. Unfortunately I still know of people who go to a site in the following way:

1) Type www.gooogle.com (not google, google.com or the browser search)

2)Type facebook.com in google search bar at google.com

3) go to facebook.com

Now add to it facebook.mobi, fb.me, facebook.xxx (that is a nice idea thought :P) and how can we expect the average user to understand that all these point to the same DNS?

DNS? What the hell is a DNS? I just want to see last night's party pics on Facebook

InfoQ: Are RESTful Web Services really RESTful APIs?
I really like this analogy. When the article said "Numbers everyone should know", it's not really the numbers that matter, but the general relative scale of performance costs for common operations. IOTW, memorizing the nanoseconds of a cache hit isn't useful, but knowing how many times slower disk is than ram is.
Let's say I imagine $200k, $100k, and $50k. Which of my imaginings is closest?
The first two points are very non conventionl and very important. Typically a code review is where you get feedback on how the code has been written from the experts in the area. But he reverse is also very true. As a new developer reviewing an expert developers code can be very good learning experience.
I agree that it would help people with those misconceptions learn. But I think it would be a waste of time to listen to all possible wrongs if you are eager to learn and adequately knowledgeable about a particular subject. Maybe entertaining for the first few times, but inefficient in the long run.
The 3G bands used by T-Mobile and AT&T are different and generally not supported on the same device. For example there was a T-Mobile version of the N1 and an AT&T version of the N1. They both work on the others 2G network, but not on the 3G network.
Ask HN: Review my startup Hachi (a tool to connect smartly)
Hachi launched into private alpha last month. It's still a minimum viable product - we have a long way to go, and lots to do.

Hachi warms any cold call - it helps you connect smartly with anyone you want to reach out to (or connect with). Just input the name of the person, and Hachi will search thru all your social networks to find the best person to ask for a personal intro. Currently, Hachi searches 2 social networks, and we're working on adding more.

I think YouTube replies would be great in this case, by others (and even Sal) using the same approach as Sal with Wacom and 10-15 min explanation of common misconceptions and corrections.
I think if the students were told what they got wrong on the first exam, they would have easily done a lot better. Like some of the other commenters stated, constant assessment is key. Once people start to figure out that some of their most common conceptions are misconceptions, they'll start to question everything, and then the learning really begins.

Saying OOP is anti-modular is like saying operands are anti-functional.
Sure, it doesn't excuse recruiters, recruiters are scum, etc. I agree with you completely on that. But it's not relevant to his problem. He is trying to solve a problem. His analysis has gone awry because he is focused on something that is not part of the problem. The best thing anyone can do to help this gentleman is to educate him regarding the true source of his difficulty. Recruiters doing this-and-that doesn't change the fact that the salary range is far too low and the two are not related excepting that one of the recruiters, by changing a single part of the ad, sent a strong signal about what the main deficiency of said ad was. That was a good message from the recruiter and one wise to take heed to. But instead, the author focused on his hatred and resentment towards recruiters. That is fine, he can have a pity party and we can call the waahmbulance if it gets too burdensome, but after his cry he still hasn't hired the talent he needs and his obsessing and focusing his attention on dealing with recruiters hasn't led him any closer to his goal. The necessary first thing for him to do if he wants to accomplish his goal is to increase the salary range offered substantially.
Khan Academy and other video teachers need to have lots of problems for each lesson for the students to solve. We learn best by doing.

For example, I remember my Calc II professor said that when he was in college, he'd do every single problem in the book for that lesson--even though only half of the problems were assigned (the ones w/o answers in the back). And look where he ended up: as an expert in calculus.

Also, I'm going through Stanford's CS193p (iOS dev) on iTunesU right now in my free time after work. Probably 80% of my learning happens by completing the assignments.

Same issue here. Just got a MBP a few days ago, and I've had this happen twice while compiling in Xcode. It's not your average crash though. It's not a kernel panic. iTunes streams keep playing, so I know the wifi card is still working fine. It wouldn't surprise me if it's an ATI issue.

I don'tt hire people with CS degrees unless they can demonstrate some level of technical competency before enrollment (open source commits, weekend projects, etc). Congrats new CMU grads, you get a free pass.

OOP might have its place, but teaching it to first year CS students is one of the things I blame for the valley being full of mediocre programmers.
... yes.
For those of us at cmu, this is old news.

The article is very misleading. The old curriculum never had a focus on OOP. However, the major difference is that the new curriculum will have a very heavy focus on the functional paradigm at the cost of teaching systems skills. For example, students will no longer learn C at CMU yet they will be expected to know it well for os. Either some higher level classes must get a lot easier or a lot more students will start failing.

The general consensus among students was that this curriculum change wasn't very well thought out.
He's missing the point on .xxx. No person with any vague understanding of the internet thinks that they can block pornography entirely from a person interested in getting to it. It's not that hard to get around filters because porn is everywhere online, but it can still be useful to filter it, even though a determined individual can obviously bypass your block. Here's why:

1. First and foremost, filtration software isn't just about adversarial blocking. It can stop your grandma from getting tricked into going lemonparty.org. This is a big one.

2. Children looking for porn without permission are often under non-ideal constraints, like a time limit before someone else comes home. If you can get fairly good coverage, the kid will have that much less time, and many kids aren't going to invest in figuring out how to bypass it; they'd just as soon go to their room and fap there, or go to a friend's house where there is unmonitored access.

3. Filtration can be used to demonstrate a good-faith effort to keep your network and environment safe (at a library or net cafe, for instance). Same principles as number two here: if it's difficult enough and the user is under time constraints, they'll just wait until later.

There are other good reasons, but that should suffice. .xxx isn't about keeping a sophisticated, determined opponent out, and that's rarely successful no matter what measures you take. The internet is always going to have porn and there shouldn't be any enforcement forcing adult content onto xxx.

However, if xxx sees wide adoption, and the xxx sites move off of com (redirect), that's a big weight off the shoulders of blacklist and filtration vendors. To be able to block a whole huge namespace like that, where xxx is now hosting 30% or some other significant number of the new adult content that would have been on com if not for the xxx TLD, that's a big efficiency gain, even if you still have to filter com.
At the height of my Emacs usage, I was chatting with people on Jabber from it, while having a project structure open with RoR plugins, with a couple of shells open.

Oh, btw "C-u C-x shell" allows you to open several shells. Really useful sometimes :)
Then you just build the trust on SSL certificates instead of DNS
I think you're trying too hard. There are existing protocols (S/MIME, PGP, Jabber, etc.) for transferring messages in a secure manner. I'd pick the one that fits your scenario and wrap it up in a shiny app.

AFAIK, there are several IM apps that could support encryption, but I don't think they are actually doing so (and if they are, they aren't advertising it). As it is, end-end secure communications is not (I think) on anyone's feature bullet-list.

I used an Flipcam(~$80) mounted on a cheap camera-stand($30). recorded all the demos separately. Then used iMovie to clip them down as short as possible and then used the iMovie text transitions to create the Chapter text. Finally I used youtube's free music from their AudioSwap feature.

Note: Some of the mini-clips are slightly sped up to make them less boring. Which I think lends a subtle exaggerated energy to the scenes.

I'm strongly in favor of encrypting the channel even without signed certificates. A self-signing certificate doesn't authenticate the session but it can be used to later verify that the other end hasn't changed.

It's much like bumping onto someone at the gym frequently but not really knowing their name or who they are. You can still trust that he's the same guy, sans having had a facial plastic surgery.

Sending passwords over plaintext http is just stupid. To mount a man-in-the-middle attack you actually have to do something and position yourself between the two ends, not just listen to the passing network traffic.

So, you might log on to Twitter at home (a relatively safe connection) and receive their public key and then use that to communicate with Twitter again later in public wifis or among middlemen at the airport. The browser would refuse to connect if the key doesn't match, much like ssh will complain if the host key fingerprint has changed (and require you to do manual purging of your known_hosts file).

Gmail is the only one where you can tap "Always use https" on. To Facebook you can connect with https://facebook.com but I don't know whether any auxiliary or Ajax/XMLRPC connections will use that.
Yeah, right. I'm not asking about pricing strategy for a web based product but how to determine how much my web application is worth if I want to sell it. For example, sites like threewords.me isn't generating any revenue but still it has been sold at some price. How to determine the selling price of such web app?

How much developers make on average in Leeds (a town not known as a center of innovative high tech development any more than Detroit currently is) is not relevant to the acquisition of highly skilled and sought after talent that does not exist in Leeds.
It puts a lot of stress on the heart, too, and I think a fair number of them die with smoking as a contributing cause to that.

Anyhow, if you do get cancer from smoking, it's pretty ugly. My grandfather had it, in spite of quitting immediately once it was generally known that smoking was a Bad Thing (TM). He had to use Prednisone and it weakened his bones until they started breaking all the time. He was very upset with Grandma for calling the paramedics once, too, because he was just ready to die :( It made for a really miserable way to spend his last ten+ years of life.
several remarks worth mentioning, as the infoq page seems to be editorialized link bait begging to foment a flamewar.

Bob Harper and (his now graduated phd student) Dan Licata are (world class) experts in programming language semantics. What does this mean? They understand in a very very precise sense how difficult it is to correctly understand the exact semantics of various linguistic constructs.

Why is this important? Because some of these freshmen will not have had a solid grounding in understanding the most basic of the tools they use, the programming language. These students should come away from their intro class not burdened by confusion over syntax and boilerplate need to use the built in language constructs, but rather a precise enough mental model of the semantics for a basic programming language that they can accurately simulate the execution of their programs with pen and paper, or just in their heads!

Yes objects do provide some occasionally fantastic abstraction facilities in certain use cases in practice, but every semantic model for real OO languages is INCREDIBLY complex, let alone considering what is needed for having a correct cost model for operations in an OO language once you consider how many OO abstraction are represented by nontrivial lookup operations / data-structures.

What I think is more interesting is the following
1) they've come up with low overhead ways of teaching parallelism constructs directly to intro students

and 2) this course is part of a larger system of classes that include their intro imperative programming class being taught by Frank Pfenning (an expert in mechanized theorem proving such as might be used to verify program correctness)that teaches a lot of the basic algorithms / datastructures that are easiest to first see framed imperatively,

and 3)they're having the intro algorithms & datastructures course be taught by Guy E. Blelloch, who's done a great amount of good research in a huge number of algorithm topics.
CRAP!

I am worried I may have accidentally resubmitted after 8!

I think I may have miscopied the posterous video URL and when I noticed, I still had the application open in one tab and hit update not knowing this would mark it as late!

>There's a difference between identity and encryption,

I agree completely with this and would love a way to encrypt all the sites I look after without jumping through all the hoops needed to confirm identity to get an SSL cert that doens't make the site appear less secure than an unsecured HTTP site.
Even silly things like the mail client Sparrow. I had to use gfxCardStatus to get anything more than 2-3hrs of battery life because my mail client is trying to get "fancy" on me.
I have experienced this first-hand. Let me give you a little anecdote:

I took Chemistry Honors as a sophomore in high school. Now a sophomore in college/senior in high school, I'm again taking Chem since it's required as part of my gen-ed. I basically never come to the packed lecture hall as I see it as a waste of my time to listen to a repeat of a class I took 2 years ago.

I print off class lectures and view the khan vids and it's pretty easy. Yet this hasn't really translated over to my performance in tests. I think a culprit may be that I gloss over bits when I feel this all has a "I know this stuff" feel.

Compare this to my biology honors course as a freshman in high school as well as again as a freshman in college/junior in high school again. I didn't know about khan academy then, and took notes in class for things that I wasn't sure about (it was all still essentially review --props to my great HS freshman Bio teachers). I also studied outside if class and did practice problems during my free hour right after class. Aced the class and more effort was put towards the learning. Any misconceptions/confusion was resolved with either a quick google search or question at the tutoring center for homework help at college.

I plan to try and see if the physics course I'll be taking soon will produce different results, since I haven't taken a physics class yet ever, so it'll be pretty much all new. I plan on first studying with mainly Khan Academy only and seeing the results, then with other more "traditional" methods.
I'm mainly testing to see whether the newness factor has any effect on my ability to acquire and retain the content just from videos.
REVIEW: 10194 Emerald Night
WHEW crisis averted, I hope.
> if xxx sees wide adoption

Off the top of my head, I (and I think also the author) don't see any particular reason to think that .xxx will see wide adoption.
> For example, students will no longer learn C at CMU yet they will be expected to know it well for os.

This just isn't true. C-not (a typesafe C variant put together by the language department) will be taught in an intro class, and the end of that class will involve a transition to C. Then, the students will take 213 Introduction to Computer Systems, which will be ALL C and Assembly (as it has been since its inception). Then, after writing malloc and a web proxy in C, they will go on to OS.

Additionally, Java will continue to be taught in 214, a class that will be mandatory for all Software Engineering minors (granted, a small number of these exist) but that will invariably be taken by many students concerned about internships and that kind of stuff.

The reality of the matter is that Language Theory is the biggest player in CMU CS right now, and so they took that as a mandate and ran with it all the way to this new curriculum, which is why it's functional-language heavy. That said, our students' brains will not rot for having learned ML more heavily than Java (I imagine it will be advantageous), and all previous options will still be available, albeit in slightly different forms (I actually imagine 214 will be much improved over previous attempts at teaching Java).

The reality is that CMU never gave a shit about students who barely make it by, and scraping off a few extra in the Systems class transition isn't really a big concern for anyone (it's a CMU cultural thing). Most of the complaints is just fear of change and "It wasn't like this when I took it!" type complaining.
