Is clang stable? Well, it can build the Linux kernel as of last October: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/cfe-dev/2010-October/0117...

And, seeing as Clang is the default compiler in Xcode 4, and can also build FreeBSD[1], yes, I believe it's stable.

Yes. I meant to draw the distinction between Scotland and England.
The difficulty with the sales person is that one sale on taskarmy is fairly small. I am in the process of organizing bundled services like (this one: http://taskarmy.com/services/1549-create-a-website-for-your-...) that will have a bigger price tag and would make it worth having a sales person.

What would you consider a lead on taskarmy? A visitor comes and goes, but the only moment they express any interest is when they either leave a comment on a service page, contact a service provider or sign up for the newsletter. Is that what you would define as a lead?

How do I know how many leads I would need to keep a sales person busy?

And finally, where can I find a sales person?
Also, if you're trying to bruteforce just any hash from a long list of hashes, an unsalted hash means that you can try every word in your dictionary against all hashes at once; for Facebook's 500 million users, a sufficiently-long salts (bcrypt's 64-bit salt qualifies) really does help a lot.

My very first post in this thread was a bit more helpful - I told him to redirect his anger toward congress.
Yeah. This glorification of absurd hours is not a good thing I think. A balanced life is important. Perhaps a few people can handle these kinds of hours their whole life but most can't. It leads to burn out, stress, depression, breaks up marriages and alienates children, all of which have a very negative long term impact on society as a whole.
The former. I think most sane serious dbs cache and manipulate recently-used data in memory (in addition to the logical log).

Bad idea or no, it's what they do - performance gains are large. There is an ersatz logical log in the form of application logs, and these have been used to piece together transactional information before.
Yes. As the GP stated, all data added/updated/deleted since last snapshot will be lost. If your data is that critical you can use AOF with "appendfsync always" which will fsync every write operation into a log that will replayed on startup (at a speed cost). Setting it to fsync every second (instead of always) is a good compromise.

Granted, being a police officer is certainly a more risky profession than programming, but I'm not sure that the chance of getting killed on the job is higher for police officers than for truck or cab drivers.
True and a bit tragic.

I think a lot of nerds grow up, and get careers in technology, hoping they can spend their lives in that flow state.

But it's just almost never practical. Probably one of the only ways to do it now is open-source stuff, or by becoming an extreme specialist and working in a big corporation that shields you and accommodates you. In both cases you're probably taking a pay cut.
I think people misunderstood Jason Calcanis' article. Actually, his article is not so "OMG we're doomed!" at all, as the headline implies. From the article and the video I got that he's actually pro-bitcoin.

When he said it's "the most dangerous open source project" he's ever seen, he meant it in a creative destruction kind of way, which is true. It would disrupt the financial system a lot, but that doesn't necessarily make it a bad thing in the grand scheme of things.

Also, from the way this author writes the article, I get the feeling he doesn't really understand Bitcoin or its purpose. He makes it sound like it would only ever be used by evil-doers, and I don't think that's true at all. Changing the way money are used and changing the status quo is not inherently bad, even though the incumbents in most markets seem to think that when they get disrupted. I'm sure a lot of people think the Internet is bad, too.

I remember back in the early 90s, I often had the choice of using the local tools or the GNU tools. I went for the GNU versions every time: they were stable, predictable and worked the same everywhere I went. It felt like they'd built their own Unix then, despite the fact that Hurd was still not much more than some really ambitious design documents.

My point is, I fully appreciate the importance of the GNU work to the development of free and open-source software, especially Linux. That said, I can't see that most of the arguments being put forward here make any sense. I mean, should everything compiled in gcc have a gnu prefix? (GNU/Google, anyone?)
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=0 or 2 are very common performance tweaks that trade some level (about a second) of data vulnerability for performance.
My own anecdotal experience would leave me surprised if controlled studies found that modern chiropractic care had no useful effect at all. Over a three month period I watched one guy go from a hunch-backed nerdy appearance to a shoulders-back, upright, and confident posture. Chiropractors probably can't cure ulcers, but they probably can accelerate improvements in posture, which have payoffs in other areas (improved posture->reduced pain->less stress caused by pain->better quality of life).
This isn't inspiring, this is neurotic.

Human are associating machines. Learning requires a bit more because if it didn't then the AI problem would have been solved long ago by neural nets. What schools don't do well is teach people about meta-cognition which is how all learning really happens. Anyone can memorize a few facts and regurgitate opinions but few people can connect the dots and see the big picture by collating all the local pieces of information we are constantly bombarded with.
It's pretty much same story with Nokia's devices, older Windows Mobiles, etc. It's not that Apple invented smartphone, they just made it so that normal people could and even wanted to use them. This of course blows the minds of us geeks as we think that smartphones have been pretty neat and usable devices for almost a decade already.
Really. I realize you're going on just my word alone, but trust me, it's real. Amazing people who are on the right side of the gap might be cursed in private, but they will get ahead. They will go places which just are not open to others.

Meanwhile, amazing folks on the wrong side of the gap will be cursed in public through a variety of interesting ways, and will be held back unless they find those rare environments where they can thrive.

So really, it's not just a 10 vs. 2 thing. It's a "allowed to be 10" vs. "not allowed to be 10" thing.

*only if you use the appropriate fsync options. By default, AOF is set with the equivalent of innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=0 (fsync every second.) Note that the equivalnt of sync_binlog is always 0. Usually, this is just fine, but it is important to note when comparing MySQL to InnoDB.

I haven't tried the others but I can highly recommend prey. You only have to subscribe once your laptop goes missing. Its also open src so I believe you can setup the serverside yourself if you're worried about prey being hacked.

It does have a few small bugs, and one thing I didn't like is the 100 report limit. You see, the 100 rpt limit means that if you want to do 2min monitoring you have to really keep on top of the reports.

Overall 2 thumbs up from me for prey.
A new mobile phone market index
Maybe it's where and when I grew up, but no job that largely involves sitting in front of a computer and occasionally talking with (or at) people really strikes me as "hard work" (even if you add copious quanitities of long-haul travel).

The farmers and fishermen I knew growing up worked incredibly hard but I honestly don't remember a single one of them telling anyone about how hard they work. However, having worked on farms and (briefly) on a North Sea trawler when I was a student I can honestly say nothing you can do inside in the nice and warm can possibly come close - remember that the guys running farms and fishing trawlers are running businesses as well, usually on pretty damned low margins or unpredictable cashflow.

Edit: Not sure which "personalities" I'd have on a "working hard" list - but it would probably include this chap:

Interested to work in startup web project and want to opensource
I am programming since last 6 year in lot of old age technology. In my spare time learning stuff like Rails, some time Django and some time other stuff. From long time I am interested to contribute a open source project. But I am not getting any motivation to contribute in a library or already big framework likes Rails.

I know I can program and build the things. Though I am not expert in Rails, but as there are too much for me to learn. So I don't think my self to contribute anything there. Also after reading tons of article about how to contribute on open source I realize that, only after I encounter some bug it is better to fix it and send pull request. As I am working in some corporate technology in day job. And not getting proper motivation to kick off a side project. Though I did few of them, but not as successful. And after few day I don't get much motivation either.

Now I am interested to work with some one who passionate to build something. And open source it. So we can collaborate on git hub. I am open to technology such as Ruby or Python or JavaScript (CoffeeScript :) ). We can brain storm on ideas, I have few. I am sure you have few.. We will pick some one and start coding and keep moving the wheel.

This applies just as much to the iPad.

Tablets have been out for forever, and some of them have even been well made only to be ABANDONED by the makers.

It's been blisteringly obvious for a decade that tablets are the future of mobile computing.

The real lesson here is that marketing and sales matter. Apple, as a company, rarely invents new things. Rather it executes on old ideas that other companies failed to execute on.

Apple connects the market to the innovative technology and that is what really pays. Inventing stuff is useless if the public doesn't understand.

Moral: Steal a good idea, make it really easy to use, and don't skimp on your sales pitch.
I think that post is trying to point out the irony of the fact that the same author was promoting the female stereotype of "just getting a job to find a husband" in her other post, while lamenting the gender issues associated with being a woman in computer science in this post.

Apple iCloud launched
Apple iCloud has been well in news and this is because that Apple is geared up to unveil Apple iCloud at a conference. It has been confirmed that the chief executive of Apple Inc.

Grids Are Good
Show HN: in-the-box - Run android apps on iOS
I think you are spot on. Although the whole saga of windows variations on tablets, which is astonishingly ongoing, never really helped.

What really surprises me is that the likes of Palm never got their act together in this space. Apple have shown it was ripe for the taking. Palm had years of experience and a great user base (I was a Palm user for years).

But this is all grist to the mill of the ideas versus execution debate. It's not the idea (although good ones help) but the execution that's key
I think that the line of thought goes something like:

* There's a variance between the number of men and women in field X.

* This gap does not correlate with the number of men and women in the general population.

* Therefore field X must be discouraging women from going into the field that would otherwise be interested in the field.

I believe the thinking is that if everyone did what they wanted to do, then the gender balance in any random field would probably be relatively close to the gender balance of the general populace.

I actually think that it would be much easier to recognize a 'female Einstein' just because her intelligence would be so exceptional.

3 Simple Ways to Create Lasting Impact With Flyers
Marketing using flyers has become so commonplace that people have actually gotten the habit of avoiding employees or volunteers handing the pieces of paper over.
Yeah, this (article) seems to be totally at odds with the hacker ethic, expressed variously as:

Jon Bentley in Programming Pearls:
Column 2.5 "Aha! Algorithms"
"Good hackers are a little bit lazy: they sit back and wait for an insight rather than rushing forward with their first idea. That must, of course, be balanced with initiative to code at the proper time. The real skill, though, is knowing the proper time. That judgment comes only with the experience of solving problems and reflecting on their solutions."

Larry Wall in "Three virtues of a programmer"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Wall#Virtues_of_a_program...
"1. Laziness - The quality that makes you go to great effort to reduce overall energy expenditure. It makes you write labor-saving programs that other people will find useful, and document what you wrote so you don't have to answer so many questions about it. Hence, the first great virtue of a programmer."

John D Cook in "Why programmers are not paid in proportion to their productivity?"
http://www.johndcook.com/blog/2009/12/23/why-programmers-are...
"Programmers are most effective when they avoid writing code. They may realize the problem they’re being asked to solve doesn’t need to be solved, that the client doesn’t actually want what they’re asking for. They may know where to find reusable or re-editable code that solves their problem. They may cheat. But just when they are being their most productive, nobody says "Wow! You were just 100x more productive than if you’d done this the hard way. You deserve a raise." At best they say "Good idea!" and go on. It may take a while to realize that someone routinely comes up with such time-saving insights. Or to put it negatively, it may take a long time to realize that others are programming with sound and fury but producing nothing."
Africa: Broadening the base of the startup pyramid
I carried and developed for the Sidekick since the SK1 days.

Most people really don't realize just how capable those devices were for their time, and still to this day how they had some super neat features. It is no coincidence that the same team members were involved with Android and WebOS.

Some of the things that were amazing:
- totally proxied IM support, across AIM, MSN and Yahoo chat. (they never got to Google) It having a proxy in the middle meant you never lost a message in a tunnel and weren't constantly bouncing on and off. Battery life was great despite it being on constantly.

- first true push email for the consumer market. Send an email to a @tmail address and it would be delivered in a second or two.

- true multitasking and background apps

- crazy neato programming APIs that you still dont see reproduced. One of the neatest that made multiplayer gaming nice on the device was what they called "The Funnel". Everybody had a Sidekick username, and your app could send a packet of information to any other Sidekick as long as you knew their username. That was guaranteed to be delivered and guaranteed to be delivered in sequence. Made all sorts of neat social / sharing apps dead simple to write.

They did so much right, but in the end they couldn't survive the paradigm shift of touchscreen, and there is no doubt they were starting to crumble a bit under the weight of their legacy codebase and platform.

But so, so far ahead of their time. I've never been so giddy than when I first brought one home.

I have a Sidekick4G on the way to replace my Nexus. Miss the keyboard, hope I can get some of the magic back.
Protip: eglibc is a fork of glibc, considers glibc an upstream, and communicates patches with glibc, requiring copyright reassignment for contributed code. This makes them roughly as GNU as glibc itself, which is maintained by a Redhat employee.
This is too simplistic. Most people spend the majority of their lives toiling away at work that they enjoy less than other tasks. There are lots of reasons for this, but most abstractly, it is a fact of human survival. What we can do as a community is to be as welcoming as possible.

The writings of (e.g.) Knuth and Stallman consistently refer to programming as a communal activity. It shouldn't be necessary for it to be a calling—or to use a perhaps more objective term, a niche (that you've created for yourself)—for someone to participate in a economic/professional setting.
Doesn't this really ignore Facebook Connect?

Federated authentication is finally at a tipping point:

- The business case for federated access is based on making it easier for consumers to sign-up and use your services and cheaper and faster to integrate with business partners

- Security and implementation costs are often barriers however these can be overcome with strong authentication for a limited number of identities and via technologies such as OpenAM

- The tipping point for federated authentication is here, if you want to get in front of the curve Open-ID is well worth implementing

The pay cut isn't that much of a problem, compared to many other jobs being a software engineer is lucrative in any case.
