I think the point of the post is that good designers should be generalists. A good designer would read (or re-read) the iOS HIG in order to have a good idea of the platform's guidelines before beginning work.
Cory Doctorow: Techno-optimism
I was wondering about that. The no-shrine idea makes sense and respecting the 24hr burial rites as well. If there was reasonable evidence that it's a scam then someone would come forward with evidence OBL is still alive.

If the right was going to build the "OBL is not really dead" case against Obama they would have to directly question the integrity of the Navy Seals. I don't think that would go over so well with their constituents. If Obama was smart he had some republican lawmakers present to witness the DNA sampling.
How do you explain the WMD gaffe? Seemingly far more damning claims that the Bush administration pushed that were eventually shot down and embarrassingly retracted.

Though it is also fair to argue that bush was unreasonable in a way that Obama isn't unreasonable.

The early modern texts site (http://www.earlymoderntexts.com/f_why.html) contains works that have been translated to contemporary English which could alleviate the archaic language problem. From the link:

<QUOTE>
My versions are faithful to the content of the originals, but are plainer and more straightforward in manner. I could have made them even plainer, but that would have taken them further than I wanted to go from the stylistic feel of the originals. I love the original texts, and am glad to have spent years wrestling with them in their pristine form. I do wish, though, that through the years I could also have read them sometimes with all my energy going into the philosophy.
</QUOTE>

To the OP, two overviews of Western Philosophy (of the analytic variety) I'd suggest are Russell's "The Problems of Philosophy" (http://www.ditext.com/russell/russell.html) and Nagel's "What Does It All Mean?: A Very Short Introduction to Philosophy".

As someone in the opposite position to you (academic coder, considering abandoning academia for industry), I offer up my take: the painful bits of scientific coding are infinitely more painful and numerous than the painful bits of non-scientific coding.

I'm kind of a masochistic in that I thoroughly enjoy debugging non-scientific codes (I do indie game dev in my off time), but debugging scientific code makes me want to spoon my eyeballs out one at a time. Debugging normal code is like a puzzle, with interesting hints as to what the problem is. Debugging scientific code is like trying to crack a hash table by hand.

A must read that's not on the list yet:
On Liberty, John Stuart Mill.

The thoughts/ideas on society and politics are the sort that will resonate with a lot of the HN crowd. They advocate things like free speech, freedom of thought, equal rights for women, a utilitarian view of morality.

Some choice quotes:
"actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness; wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness"

"the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others."

He was a pretty smart guy and a lot of what he advocated is now baked in to western societies as the norm.
First, the best ever PM book I have read is "How to cheat at IT project management"

Second, you can set your users up in a global resources file and track their availability across multiple project.

You could also get your hands on CBT Nuggets training - which is great.

You should require your company to fund some training for you to succeed in this position - CBT Nuggets training DVDs, Lynda.com account etc... are very affordable - especially when you are tasked with tracking 45 people - that is a hell of a lot of people to track if you are brand new to it.

To answer your question, you can click on RESOURCE tab, then NEXT OVER ALLOCATION to have project check for over allocations to your staff (RESOURCES)

Also, click on VIEW, then on RESOURCE USAGE to show the allocations of the resources. It will give a summary as well as a detail of the items they are assigned to.

Obviously, this is all predicated on accurate assumptions on your part as to how long something takes.

What you may find easier at first, is to allocate resources to tasks at a higher level in order to build out the project, for example, you may want to assign the "IT TEAM" "Setup Server Environment" as a multi day task, say 1W -- then assign "DEVELOPMENT TEAM" a multi day task, "SETUP DEV ENVIRON"

Then underneath these, break out the subtasks "SETUP WEB SERVER, 1-day" "SETUP DB SERVER 1 day" etc...

Work your way through the tasks refining the time allocation each iteration, based on input from the team.

You should save out these setup processes out to re-use them as you move forward.

When you get status from a team member on the completion of an item, ask them how long it actually took.

If they have 2 days allotted to setup a server, but they wait till the end of the second day and the setup only takes 2 hours... you need to find that out, and document it.

Ultimately, this will build an understanding of actual time costs for actions and you'll be able to build out skeletal plans very easily and know when others are making misstatements about durations...

Hope that helps.

Almost every Perl 6 implementation implements their parser using Perl 6 regexes(partly because it's much more difficult to properly support the extensible grammar otherwise), which are essentially PEGs.
To the first point: people desperately want to believe the storyline that the marines trotted into Pakistan and took down OBL.

To the second point: the body, or some sort of photo, could be used as a standard for the terrorists. It is also likely that the body would be unrecognizable visually, rendering an image useless

This reminds me of the 9/11 south park episode for some strange reason ...
I recommend W. T. Jones's History of Western Philosophy. It has a good combination of excerpts from primary sources plus commentary on those excerpts.

If you're going to ask for feedback, you should take it! Here's a professional explaining that you don't have to worry so much about the login. A 2-4 digit code will do. Password-protect the manager login if you want, but not the servers'. This should not be keeping you up at night.

What should be keeping you up at night is the ordering experience. This is where users are going to spend 99% of their time. It needs to be flawless and ultra-refined for speed and accuracy. The cascading screens and tiny "Done" buttons are not going to cut it for heavy use.

Finally, you are going to need to be careful about getting feedback during a 15 minute demo. There is a grand canyon of difference between using a POS all day every day versus once for 15 minutes.

Ask HN: Charting your blood panel stats

This is partially true. The stigma is not so much against carrying your own food, as it's against carrying the particular type of tiffin box that is shown in this video. They are quite large and bulky. Imagine, a guy in a suit, with an Attache in one hand, and the bulky tiffin box in the other.
Also, if you commute by Mumbai's local trains, it will be a nightmare to board them with the boxes.

A well put argument to establish a local subjectivity for practical effect.

The problem I have with it is that it is then used to marginalize _other_ local subjectivities like r/mensrights (which admittedly has its share of ludicrous opinions, do _not_ admit you don't care you were circumcised) for the purpose of serving the "most important" 'ism.

In reality there are a whole bunch of inequalities in a whole bunch of different directions, and it doesn't make sense just to target the one that _some_ people have decided is the most important. (In all honesty, for instance, I think racial inequality is a much bigger problem than sexism in our society now that women are becoming much better educated, whereas we still have a lot of 'bad part[s] of town.')

In other words, we are not escaping heteronormative forms until we can actually work with logical equality, and the quickest way through the forest is the straightest. Why not just admit the problem is with beauty and our valuation of it--and yes, men might be guilty of this more by percentage, but that's not the source of the problem--instead of with gender?

Bloom filters are a data structure for testing set membership, which may have false positives but no false negatives. They're remarkably compact, and often useful. The blog post talks about how to do even better in terms of compactness, through the clever use of Golomb coding. (And, incidentally, reduce the expected number of cache misses for a lookup.)

Definitely worth a read, if any of that sounded interesting.

Don't copy ideas, don't ask for opinions, embrace randomness.

On the contrary. Copy (great) ideas as much as you can. Learn from the masters - many masters. Then, eventually, you'll be not just unique, but actually good too. Being unique because you completely, totally suck in some original way is not worth doing.

Interestingly, your example:

Eventually, you'll borrow concepts seen elsewhere, and incorporate some of the best ones. But similar to musicians who find 'their sound' while playing their mastered instrument, you'll find a unique signature style that comes through in your own work.

Is actually a counter-example. Most musicians become unique from copying other people for years, or even decades.
at least Heroku are pretty upfront about what a dyno is

http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/dynos (linked from http://www.heroku.com/pricing#1-0)
Parrot (http://www.parrot.org/)
Whilst I get what the author is trying to say, I strongly disagree.

Ignorance of competition does not make your thought original, it just makes you ignorant of the competition. It suggests that any thought you have in isolation is by definition "unique". But unfortunately that's not the case. How many times have you said to a friend, "You know what would be awesome?!?! If we built <blah>", and they say, "oh you mean like <blah>?", "D'OH!".

You'd be mad to go about building something without first testing that there is a market for what you're building, or that that market isn't already well served. You can't do either of those things without researching your topic of interest. It's all well and good to build that feature you've always dreamed of, but unless anybody else in the world wants it, what's the point?

Finally, to suggest that drawing on your own experience is ok, is just contradictory. If you're an expert in a certain field, how can you possibly expect to isolate yourself from everything in that field? This would suggest the only way to be original is to only work in fields you don't understand or have experience.

But then maybe I missed the point of the post :)

Ask HN: East coast incubator/accelerator "rankings?"
I was just curious, what incubator/accelerators on the east coast put their funded companies in a better position for success (beit because of alumni network, investor relations, mentorship, culture, etc)? This question arose when I saw http://techcocktail.com/top-15-us-startup-accelerators-ranked-2011-05 . I don't know about the methodology and am looking for more anecdotal type evidence I guess, hah.

The popular ones I know about: TechStars NYC (and why is TechStars performance divided out by location, are the results truly that different?), NYC SeedStart, Betaspring, AlphaLab, Dreamit. They are all in popular metro areas. Alpha and Beta are part of the TechStars network.

Just looking for your insight. Thanks!

Cheap Shopping in Pakistan
You can buy very cheap garments, bed sheets, shirts, T-shirts, It is to be mentioned that many world renowned brands like Adidas, Levis, Slazenger, HangTen, Wal-Mart etc get their products prepared from Faisalabad which has got one of the largest textile industries of the world. You can find cheap products of these brands at local stores. You can get a pair of Levis jeans (or any other good brand for that matter) for just 800 PKR (10 USD).
I don't see how we can accept false positives. Doesn't that mean that the client will reject some perfectly valid certificates?
Rebalancing Ganeti Clusters
I recommend The Apology of Socrates and The Republic, both written by Plato.

The former because it's an excellent introduction to one of the west's most influential figures (Socrates). As a testament to that influence, any philosopher before him is called 'pre-Socratic'. Not to mention Socrates' tale of traveling around Athens questioning the populace after visiting the Oracle is a great story. It wouldn't hurt to follow up with the dialogue Phaedo next, which details the end of Socrates.

The latter for many reasons. The Republic is the most complete statements of Plato's philosophy, in addition to being beautifully written (Plato's writing seems to shine through in just about any translation that I've seen, but the Allan Bloom translation is particularly enjoyable).

Plato, and this book in particular, have been extremely influential in western thought. Indeed, one philosopher wrote that "the safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato." And here in America, the founding fathers often quoted Plato in their pamphlets prior to seceding.

Following the dialogues in the book will take you from discussions on the nature of justice and reality, to the best mode of governance. It serves as a wonderful introduction to what it means to do philosophy and hopefully you find it as enjoyable as I have.
