I might try it out this year. One of the things that most appeals to me about BRC is the game of maximizing utility whilst minimizing resource consumption. The playa is incredibly dry and seems a perfect environment for this system. Yeah, you can buy ice for your cooler chest, but where's the challenge in that?
>If I find time to neaten up that code, are you interested in swapping notes?

Yes, I wrote a coroutine-less one here and tried to include design decisions in readme: https://github.com/davidhollander/ox

It works for HTTP but has few features so far. I have a bunch of exploratory code lying around though, so I could be adding message passing or better fileserving to it in the future. I will send you an email at some point.
This is why you always must remember to set good expiration settings and edit out any confidential content (like passwords or identifying chunks of code) when you use a pastebin.
Possibly a differential proportional to both the outside temperature and the difference of humidity? I'd love some links to the physics behind this system.
You know it's not really free, right? You and everyone you know will be paying taxes to pay for that "free" education for the rest of your careers.

Not saying it's a bad deal, but it's not free.

> The maximum cooling you'll get is 20F less than ambient, and that is entirely dependent upon humidity.

Any idea about the specific physics here? I'd love to see some equations to help explain this system (and the swamp coolers we use here in rural CA too).
Unfortunately, the quoted text was missing a key word. Rephrased here:

"A private corporation restricting access to ITS OWN information isn't censorship."
exactly!

to OP:

For example: "If you get simultaneous overspeed and stall warnings and your VSI is deeply negative, you are in a stall and need to ignore the overspeed warning and execute stall recovery procedures." Actually, when I word it that way, they shouldn't even have needed special training to figure that out: the VSI should have made it obvious.

wow, and how were they supposed to know that VSI is reliable?

but it is in the right direction: those guys screwed up big time, and a big contributing factor was almost certainly inadequate training in dealing with emergencies of this nature.

I think you're too early to jump onto conclusions based solely on impartial and interim report.

You're not alone though - seems that opinion of internet experts is divided between putting full blame on pilots or putting full blame on sensors.

I think actual situation was a bit more complex than that.
If you're not regularly getting unsolicited offers of employment, you're not spending enough time on career development. Start a blog, contribute to open source projects and hustle like a motherfucker.

If you want to work on exciting things, work on exciting things. Demonstrate that you're halfway good at it and people will offer you money to do it for them. It really is as simple as that.

To me, the idea of a software developer seeking employment based on their degree is as ridiculous as a rock singer trying to book a gig on the basis of his BA. We work in a field where theoretical understanding is no guarantee of practical ability, but proving practical ability is straightforward. Developers who rely on credentials can't code and employers who rely on credentials can't hire. You want to keep the hell away from all of them.
I never was successful in the startup area. But as far as I learned about chess, go, poker and other strategy games, the idea of the great player always are is, that they can think ahead of the pattern. And if they have a pattern it can't be described or understood (if you think of zen or kungfu it definitely takes more time for the student to really understand the real concepts in a way that he can use them in practice). So I wonder, is it really worth to look for a pattern, when there probably is none?

The article refers to some form of clinical depression. Having the blues is not depression. Although we dont know the exact correlates of depression, we know it has something to do with neurotransmitters and is most definately physiological (note how hormonal changes such as birth can cause depression, or how SSRIs are used to treat depression). It's the denial of this fact that usually leads to drug aversion.

You can get a typed Lisp with just macros, see Typed Racket. What's interesting is whether macros + logic engine will allow a programmer to devise much more powerful guarantees than is possible in any specific type system.

QuickBooks - Inventory Reorder System Part 1
Keeping the key in the car doesn't void insurance. Every ZipCar already has a key in the ignition, and yet they don't get rampantly stolen (even in SoMa).

Fuel is under the responsibility of the renter - we've actually found that most renters bring the fuel back higher than where they took it out at. If renters repeatedly forget to refuel the vehicle, not only do they get bad ratings, but we actively remove them from the system.

Most of our owners make at least $300/month renting out their car a few hours a week, after commission. Popular cars like www.getaround.com/mini make well more.

As for how many people want to - we've had more than 2,000 cars sign up so far.

From the renter's side - we offer more choice and variety, as well as car's that are on average quite a bit cheaper. We can also penetrate markets that ZipCar cannot, and offer cars that are closer in proximity.
> I am not a lawyer. This is not legal advice.

Ha. If you were a lawyer you would know that saying "this is not legal advice" doesn't actually turn legal advice into non-legal advice.

The whole post is legal advice.

EDIT: I think that is funny that I get downvoted for this. The writer very early on in the post demonstrates that he doesn't have legal knowledge, yet he advocates people using his language in their own contracts.

Some of the clauses don't protect how the writer thinks they do, if at all. Parts of the analysis/summary are flat out wrong.

For example, the legal costs clause is one of the scariest in the post. You really want to allow the other side to recover their legal costs if he sues you? These things work both ways.

Just look at the balance of potential damages. Your potential damages are for the unpaid contract price. That is it. The client's damages if your software fails could be millions of dollars in tort liability. And you are going to pay their legal fees when they hire the best contingency lawyers around and win?

By the way, defense attorney's can't take cases on contingency basis. If you are being sued you will have to pay your own way with the hope of collecting afterward. The legal costs clause created a nice incentive to go to trial for the opposing plaintiff.

Be careful out there.

I wonder if you could accurately measure airspeed acoustically, instead of using pitot tubes and pressure? For instance, suppose you placed microphones near the trailing edge of the front wings, and near the leading edge of the rear wings.

But microphones ARE measuring pressure!

Basically you propose the same method for measuring airspeed, except less precise and as prone to disturbances by external objects (like ice).
When should I begin to talk to a VC?
Define "hurt my career." Working for Google or Facebook? Maybe fresh out of school it would be a problem, but six years after? I find that hard to believe.

In any case, there is more to the employment world than Google, Facebook, or Apple. Want to work for a Fortune 500 business? Well there's 500 employers right there, most of whom aren't too concerned with where you went to school 6 years ago, but care more about what you did since.

I've been interviewing people for a few years and the only time the university is noticed is if it's Harvard or MIT or something well known. And even then it counts for absolutely NOTHING.
Without running the numbers, I'd prefer the distance to be meaningfully measurable in light years.

Yeah? Where the calculation? I just read this as; "We've made up some number".
I think creative job postings pose a sort of marketing problem. Everyone knows that for brief "moments in history," workplaces can turn into ridiculously exciting, creative places.

But, of course, those periods never last forever. Eventually, the business changes, people come in or leave, and the company dies or takes another direction. The creative period may end suddenly, without ever resulting in a shipping product.

So the real issue - if you're looking to maximize "work happiness" - would be to find some heuristics at the resume or interview stage to determine who's actually got the mojo at any point in time. That, or find a way to constantly bring that spirit into a more independent business situation.

You're not really thinking there actually is a clash between those reasonable demands and the desire for an free internet, right?

Because the best solutions happen to be implementable at the edge of the network: don't want viruses? Use GNU/Linux (-> needs an idiot-friendly distribution, or education), or use a good firewall (I bet a FreedomBox could fill this role) Don't want spying? Host your e-mail (-> needs a usable FreedomBox). Don't want spam? Use a spam filter on your FreedomBox (will probably be there by default).

Yeah, the FreedomBox is a damn fine hammer.

Now, if people are all lazy and just want their privacy, security, and tranquillity to be spoon-fed without them having to think about it, then the internet is doomed. But some of us aren't, so I have hope.
That's very cool but it's still difficult to tell which part of the music is coming from which track. I personally would find it very helpful if mousing over a circle of a certain color would make all of the other tracks much quieter. That would make it a bit easier to understand than just seeing the visual feedback.
The cut that record labels get from online sales are for the most part standardized. Amazon would presumably have to pay this regardless of actual sale price.

Eh! It's not that bad. My MS cost about the same, but the only thing I had to pay was about a total of $300 in parking fees. In the US most large employers worth working for will reimburse you for tuition & books etc. 100% as long as you maintain a satisfactory GPA.
Is this an abstract question or do you have a specific circumstance that you could discuss?

In the abstract, at the end of the day you are selling equity in a company to a VC firm, and you need enough substantiation that the VC firms would bite.

You post rings very true for me, however I self-medicate with marijuana most every night. I too have a hard time concentrating when my thought stream moves far too quickly.

Pot slows it down to roughly the same speed that i can work at. It does not make me stupid or turn me into a 'stoner'. I am more productive when under this influence, and I write better code. Obviously, this is not a solution during work hours for me either.

I tried SSRI's for about a year and did not find a medication that 'Worked for me' in that time. Some of them were downright worse than the disease, so I stopped taking them.

No, my native Finnish is not related to the other three (which are all Germanic).

To take your example, as far as I know there's no difference in the respect I feel for people when using a language where the courtesy form of "you" is basically mandatory (German), archaic and basically never used (Finnish), or non-existent (English). Now, maybe there is some effect there that I can't notice that could be ferreted out with some psychological experiment. But the original claim that everyone knowing more than one language would implicitly be agreeing with the article is just not true.
Your Commute Is Killing You
I’ve never paid much attention to titles.

Thank you. Please, can everyone start doing this? It cuts both ways. I have a friend who is one of the best people I've ever known. I also worked for this person for a long period of time in a previous life. You couldn't imagine a better boss. He was the guy who did everything to cut out the red-tape of a large organization so that his employees could focus their time. He was also great at honing an idea even when that idea wasn't something that he knew all of the details about (I was a C# developer, he was big into php, perl, linux, etc).

He thoroughly earned a Director title at that company. Titles weren't garbage over there. They were tied to bonus payout percentages and salary scale (which determined the maximum that a person could make, not a minimum, of course).

He's now unemployed due to circumstances beyond his control (yes, there's no such thing as "beyond his control", he could have been interviewing before the collapse that resulted in him losing his job, hindsight 20/20 I'm sure).

He'd take any job right now, manager or not and he's one of those rare folks who has the skills required of a both a hacker and a good manager. When he makes it past HR, it's usually because the shop doesn't have an HR department. When he gets the interview, there's always concern expressed about his willingness to handle a perceived downgrade. When they call his references (I'm one) it's in the top 5 questions asked of me. They don't understand that this guy would be as useful and work as hard as an assistant to the regional manager as he would as a Director.

Edit: fix some grammatical/emphasis problems.
I don't think the internet has had nearly as much influence on everyday events as we give it. Most tweets, videos, and blogs are for the benefit of people watching in. The only benefit to people involved in the action is increased PR. But most of the situations are left untouched by the outside world despite the PR. And outside help will only come for greater political/business reasons. Social media is great, but don't let the rhetoric get out of control.

Or oppressed by them. Or annoyed by the (often) increased length from using honorifics.

That's a horrific blanket statement I see associated all the time with language-affecting-thought, and it flies in the face of people's actual behavior, and completely ignores social pressures that I would think are massively more influential. Which will influence your thought more: that your language has honorifics, or that you'll be pounded and/or ostracized for not using them? Our survival and social instincts are rather powerful.

Sometimes, when my life isn't going well, I like to revert back to my favorite books. Re-reading particular books that gives me a specific feeling - usually happiness, wonderment, etc. - can be relaxing.

It takes effort and focus to get into a new book. Maybe you can bypass that by just re-reading a old favorite?

Just a suggestion. Obviously, this may bore you.
You are absolutely correct medication is not a trivial solution to your problems. The ramp-up time is significant, and if you're unlucky you'll have to re-adjust dosages or switch medications a few times. My point was that popping a pill in the morning is easier to get yourself to do than dragging your ass across town to see a therapist, or getting out of your apartment to go running for an hour.
There aren't a lot of real APIs. Google has deprecated their APIs for search, Twitter is very restricted with their API and Facebook has a lot of issues with their API.

The irony is that Microsoft is/was more open about their APIs than the web.
Agreed. Even the linked article's headline is merely flamebait. And, as others noted, this isn't just advertisement -- it's direct user acquisition.

I just read the linked post and it seems like an interesting program. I couldn't help but notice though where he said it's an MA rather than an MS. Does anyone know how well regarded the program is? In other words, if a potential employer saw a Harvard Extension School ALM in IT master of arts degree on a resume instead of a master of science in CS from the Harvard engineering school (or anything else comparable), how well would it hold up?
The big problem with work for hire as a contractor is that most projects include substantial amounts of code that belongs to frameworks and libraries which the contractor has developed for whatever specialty he typically writes for. When the client insists on copyright transfer (rather than licensing) of all code that is delivered, it means that the code will have to be rewritten from scratch at great time and money cost, or that the contractor will have to lose all his preexisting IP, often developed over decades, which is plainly unacceptable unless he is retiring or cashing out and selling his whole company to someone else.

Most clients understand this. What they really need is a license to the software, which can come with things like the code, a license to modify the code, a license to sell or transfer the code license, etc, but none which deprives the contractor of his cumulative work. Clueless and overreaching lawyers though will often give advice like "only a complete sale of copyright is acceptable", which basically means you're going to be employing clueless inexperienced contractors, dishonest ones who will "sell" you open source stuff they've found on the net, or will be weighed down by the enormous time and money cost of reimplementing everything from scratch. Clauses such as "including but not limited to [work done] during the duration of the Project", we see a contract written not by a lawyer who is simply clueless about development realities, we instead see a bad faith contract that specifically intends to grab ownership of preexisting frameworks and libraries.
