I'm a happy paying Spotify user. While for the time I actually listen to music the 20 USD per month is quite a bit, the fact that I was able to get rid of all my CDs and MP3s makes it worth it. Music on demand
Wow... I don't envy the work it takes for you and the YC partners to review applications, particularly when the numbers make such a step change.
The difference between attributes and properties is not an inane detail. It's fundamental, and if you don't understand it then you can't work reliably with the DOM, either with or without jQuery.

Bottom line: use prop().
I have just stared learning Erlang after more or less leaving Java, and the heavy weight world of J2EE. I was surprised how easy I have found learning Erlang maybe it just seemed to make sense, or it feels like the right way of doing things. I would be really interested in the book.
Does this also make the startup bubble a little bigger? I mean there are quite a few now Dreamit hackny. Not that these are not good. Both have produced great companies, but as more people invest and hop on the startup bus what will happen?

Tbe only thing that worries me if that if these components are sold as new, that would be a bit unpleasant. Sure it's recycling, but it's dishonest. Of course, I'm not saying that the pictured establishments in particular should be suspected of any such deviousness (I don't know them at all).

Also, I really don't want to sound prejudiced, I've just read about fake components coming out of China sometimes, and it seems the step to fake "new" components isn't very far-fetched.

Well, given the other restrictions that Spotify imposed this month on the Free Spotify accounts, I can't see myself limiting myself to those restrictions any time soon, hence why I'm Premium.
Yes, what's your point?

Option 1: coal plant that, statistically and averaged over all plants, kills x amount of people every day of the year (through exhaust pollution, killed miners, etc.)

Option 2: nuclear plant that kills y amount of people, averaged the same; direct kills through accidents + indirect through increased cancer risks (discounted for natural occurrences of those cancers etc.)

When x > y, it's better to use nuclear. And y, despite the Fukushima fear mongering, is quite small.

The matter is not 'nuclear can fail, so we shouldn't use it'; the matter is 'which one has the lowest overall cost' (cost taking into account lives, health risks, economic risks etc); and then choosing that one.

But, if the code is being generated in that way, you're also doing a lot of identical string concatenation at runtime, when identical results with higher performance can be achieved by doing it at an earlier point - compile, design, whatever. You're burning CPU cycles to avoid the existence of these objects and separetly make it harder to optimise your application later when you find you need it in places.

Depending on your application architecture, you're also increasing the chances of your needing multiple round-trips to the database to query various bits of information for building your query, increasing the load on the DBMS (and possibly the network, depending on your architecture) and increasing the query latency.

Properly auto-generated code should be the cleanest, best laid out, most consistent code you work on, quite possibly well commented as well. It's obviously not a panacaea that'll work for everything and I'm not saying ORM tools never have their benefits, but certainly I'm not convinced that third-party ORM tools are right for what I'm doing at present.

Right, but you don't call those 'assistants', they're professional staff. 'Assistant' = title inflated way of saying 'secretary'. Who with a master's degree wants to have 'assistant' on their business card, unless it's very clear that it's a short stepping stone towards becoming whatever is after the 'assistant'?
Personally, I don't want to blur the line between paying and donating.

If you want to make business out of something, price it. I'm not going to "donate" if you are not some non-profit charity organization. But I'll gladly "pay" the same amount.

Business accepting donation feels like a convenient way for them to deny responsibility because, they didn't sell me anything, even if socially people will tell me to "donate".

Hey, I see you're gaging potential reader interest by asking what they might pay. You might consider using StoryFunded (http://www.storyfunded.com) for this.

Our site lets authors raise funds for promising book projects. Like Kickstarter it's all-or-nothing where contributors only pay once the goal is met. If the goal is met authors receive the raised funds, minus 5% and processing fees. We've just went live, and our biggest challenge now is finding book projects people would be interested in funding. This may be such a project :)

"Do not overlook the steadfast truth that your direct supervisor is your boss"

Many years ago in one of my first board meetings I remember presenting an org chart of our start-up and joking that I wasn't sure of what the semantics of the lines were. One of our non-execs pointed out, quite seriously, that the relationship is "can fire". After all, employees are there to do what their employer wants in exchange for payment - now in various places and various times what the employee would like to be doing and what the employer would like them to be doing may or may not be closely aligned, but the underlying commercial relationship is still there. Best not to forget it - which is what I think the article was getting at.

'Be as particular as you can in the selection of your supervisor.'

In larger organizations it is often pretty easy to change your direct line manager - e.g. by expressing a desire to be on a project they are managing. Experienced and successful CxO types will also know that it is tricky working out where best to place senior technical people in an organization. I was asked fairly recently by the CEO of the company I work for who I should report to - I thought about it for a bit, gave a sensible choice together with an explanation of why I thought it was sensible and that was what happened. Seemed like a pretty sensible way to run things to me - as it happens the CEO is a engineer (nothing to do with software or computers), which probably explains the no-nonsense approach.
1. Quality people will always be able to outshine gaps in their resume. The bigger question is really what do you do with your free time? For startups especially, they care about what you do during your gaps. It demonstrates initiative and ability to work in a startup environment, rather than just be an employee.

2. If it's in the contract, it will likely be enforced. It's a legal matter if it's in the contract, and the company will do what the contract says.

3. Most important is to first know what you bring to the table. In a PM/marketing role, you will need to have more flexibility than technical roles in terms of the things you're willing to do. As someone else here said, hustle like a madman.

I can tell you from my own experience of quitting after working my first job out of university for 2 years, if you don't have a plan in place and an opportunity lined up, it's really easy to lose your focus and discipline. It's then really easy to lose all your savings. So preferably, hustle at night to network and find opportunities, work the 9-5 from 9-5. Most meetups and networking events are at night anyway. For day-long events, you can easily take vacation days.

Now if you've gotten to the point where you absolutely hate everything you do, and you can't even bring yourself to wake up in the morning anymore to go to work, then you'll quit no matter what. Just beware that it's easy to lose your focus on the first time out.

" I wonder if people have an innate preference for one strategy or the other based on their personality type"

Probably. But what I have learned is that you cannot optimize only for the one side except you are extremely good at that side and extremely hopeless on the other side.

There was a time when I thought I am 'smart and shy', so I should clearly optimize on being a 'quiet professional'. But later I've met really-really smart and hardworking people, without a doubt smarter and more knowledgeable than me. Kind of best in 100000s. They became mostly researchers, and they are not 'recognized' enough (with money at least) compared to how smart and professional they are. I think 'be a quiet professional' is a good advice for being a researcher for example at Microsoft Research, but if you want to make a lot of money it is not the best advice.
it was 300k over 3 years... so your offer probably wasn't that far off!
I agree with everything you say.

The thing is, that people mentioned are nothing like people the OP writes about. I have been an athlete for awhile and so I know what he is talking about. He is not talking about people like Larry or Steve. He is literally talking that if you want to be successful you should do what your told and mind you own business. Like top athletes and soldiers do.

That is such a pile of stink-dung. I know quite some quiet professionals - form various fields, but lets stay at sports - which I know the best intimately. I believe that OP is looking at world through romantic lenses and fails to see what is really going on. I for one hope that my kids will never want to be professional athletes. Author in his romanticism sees how these people get the work done and how everybody looks up to them - while there in the spotlight. The truth is that pro athletes and soldiers are victims. They are living in a dark - being led by people around them (trainers, managers, commanders, team managers,...) and constantly told that they should just do what they're told and all will be fine. They are given illicit performance enhancing drugs and told to shut up, they are driven to inhuman lengths in their training and work to the point of losing sanity and/or health. Guess what happens when the lights off? The machinery finds new victims - while these quiet professionals are left to fend for themselves.

Thats the truth I have seen on my own eyes. For every successful pro athlete there are 10 leeches profiting of him, just waiting to discard him at the right moment. It's the same in the entertainment industry and everywhere they tell you: "Just do what we tell you, and we will take care of you. This is too complex for you to understand just obey and all will turn out just great. You should focus on what you do best and we will focus on what we do best."

The thing is that these types are the best at taking advantage of others and conformism is great strategy - for everyone but you.

Puzzling indeed, we should look for the positive aspects in this situation.

For instance when Nokia chose WP7 and C# over MeeGo and Qt, which lead to layoffs, resignations and other unpleasant consequences, Miguel DeIcaza looked for the positive aspects and declared that Nokia is simplifying the mobile landscape. [1] Similarly, we could now say that Attachmate is simplifying the cross-platform toolkit landscape...

> Ruby and Python do not have statements - only expressions.

Unfortunately this is not true for python. The reason his print-example doesn't show the returned value is that there isn't one. In ruby, puts actually returns Nil, and we can assign it:

>> x=puts(0)
0
=> nil

Whereas in Python, we get a syntax error

>>> x=print(0)
File "<stdin>", line 1
x=print(0)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I don't understand a wee bit of that, so Go Computer Science! :)
Have you actually ever used an ORM? All of your posts strike me as being of an "I imagine it would be bad" nature, without actually speaking from experience.

I get the impression that you don't really understand the complexity and capabilities of a modern, robust ORM, or how it can be used.

And you're working on a data warehouse, which isn't usually a viable candidate for ORM in the first place.

Regarding the headline "Russia's First Floating Nuclear Power Station":

For powering nearby onshore areas while docked, Russia's nuclear submarines already earned that 'first' distinction, after a couple such uses in the late 1990s. See:

"All possible emergency situations have been tested."* It's hard to believe this. Sometimes humans are getting a little haughty. What about a small comet? What about lack of recourses maintaining the thing?

I'm still not convinced nuclear is the way to go. But spilling oil isn't either..

I started using LaTeX heavily because of the advantages--why else would I use it? My experience is much like "Bran the Blessed" on the posting--I love using vim, git, not dealing with the quirks of GUI editors like anytime I have to make a list--only I started in high school but didn't really pick it up until I had to write weekly papers for a college course a year ago.

And interestingly the more I use it, the more I use it. That is, now that I have a base of essays, math homeworks, and research papers, I can usually just copy from one of those as a template for whatever I'm doing and don't have to look up how to do things over and over.
You miss the point. Google _is_ evil, what was described _is_ inhumane. Big shame.

It's a valid point that's bitten me in the past.

I'll often head off to a remote 3rd world beach for months at a time. I bring a laptop along, and usually stock up on a few games to pass the odd rainy afternoon in the hammock.

For this use case, something like Steam is just crippling. Even if you remember to put your games into "offline" mode before leaving home, it still insists on connecting to the server every month or so just to be sure. I'm in a place with generator power a couple hours a day and no internet. That's an edge case they didn't plan for, and it only hurts people who paid for the game.

tl;dr version: it shouldn't be possible to pull out somebody's account information based solely on the UDID.

It's simply wrong to authenticate people based solely on UDID anyways - what if the same user have one iPhone 3GS, one iPhone 4, and an iPad 2? In that case you'd need another authentication mechanism to make sure the three devices belong to the same user. The UDID is good only for telling the devices apart. So if you gave me Jane's iPad's UDID, I shouldn't really do anything unless I've made sure you're Jane in the first place.
The same concept can be applied to online advertising. The rise of in-context marketing (vibrant media etc) is a case in point. We are seeing more media companies becoming ecommerce companies and vice versa.

Not really. I still play Master of Orion on a regular basis, and it came out in 1991. Same with the original Civilization from 1990.

The reason I can still play these games is because I have a copy of them. That's the point in question here. Do I really have a copy of Portal 2? It's on my computer now, sure. But will I be able to fire it up and reminisce in 2031?

I see 10x speedup was given by an index. A while back I was helping a customer with some serious performance issues, and I pulled together a few procs that look at e.g. indexes, most-locked-objects/whatever over the whole DB. I've seen this below trick referenced many times but the source article seems to be here:

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bartd/archive/2007/07/19/are-you-usi...

It gives an indication of the highest-impact indexes that are missing. Obviously there's room for experts to tweak, but for most it's an excellent quick tool. Don't create every index it suggests, obviously, just use it as a guide to look for hotspots. It's nice because often it'll surprise you with areas you had no idea were an issue. And it takes a few seconds to run.

But without the ads and other true "noise" on the page, highlighting stories isn't a revenue maker and, instead, provides the reader with a useful service. BBC News has no ads (since I'm in the UK) and still uses a lot of content highlights, 'popular' and similar boxes - they're very useful from a reader's POV.
As massively anti-competitive as it sounds, it'll take an incredibly brilliant news service and a fantastically cheap price for me to move away from the BBC as my main source of online news. Relatively clean presentation, ad-free, and a generally decent quality of reporting.

Off-topic, but does anyone know why browsers go crazy about self signed certs?

It's not as good as one signed by an ostensibly trusted CA, but it's strictly better than plain HTTP (no sniffing, harder MITM, etc) - so why not present it to the user the same way that plain HTTP is?

The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if trusted CAs 'lobby' browser vendors to make it so?

This doesn't seem to have anything to do with Stored Procedures. Do a quick search & replace above:

... and notice that you're simply describing a common issue with building anything. If you change the interface to something, you need to change the stuff that calls it. That's just life, and it's the same story whether you have databases in the mix or not.
For the specific example of print, then yes. But in general it is not. Another example is if-statements in python:

>>> x=if True:
File "<stdin>", line 1
x=if True:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

whereas in Ruby:

>> x=if true:
?> 5
>> end
=> 5

Other Python statements from the top of my head: for, while, def, import.

My point is that there absolutely are statements that are not expressions in Python. (You can easily tell by trying to assign the return value: x=<statement>).

I vaguely recall a study done many years ago that looked at the ability of people to recall information they had seen in documentary style movies. Try as I may, I can't seem to find it. Check out "Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition" if you want a boatload of interesting info on learning (I may have seen the aforementioned study in there, but I doubt it).

It wouldn't be out of the question, given the modern understanding of learning and memory formation, to say that not much can be learned from simply watching content. For real benefit, the information has to be looked at a few times, and applied through practice.
Or what if I sold my device to someone else. Does that mean they can login as me with my old phone and udid?
