Maybe I am missing something but all the optimizations in this article except the xor (2) and the scasd (4) can be done in high level programming languages.

Number 3 (output of a sequence of integers as the sequence of differences between consecutive elements) is a very common optimization for inverted indexes formats, IIRC lucene, written in java, does it.
Looking good. Reading this though, I couldn't help thinking that Bundler and RubyGems should possibly be the same thing. They are both pretty much essential to running/developing any non trivial Ruby application. Why not make them the same so we don't have compatibility problems? This would remove a lot of code from Bundler that is used for supporting a bunch of old versions of RubyGems. It would also pretty much dissolve compatibility problems between the two, since there would be test coverage to make sure everything worked for that version.
Yeah, it's not difficult computer science.

Something he left out was CRM, and I would love some suggestions.

My marketing involves contacting individuals at various companies. I need to capture all the information I know about them, track email conversations, and record meeting minutes. I also need to keep lots of comments about the strategy for each customer.

So far, I don't know of any easy way to access this data in one place without lots of steps and clicks. I've been using the file system; one directory per company, and one text file per person. I paste emails and type meeting minutes into each file.

I dream of a simple time-line based view of all the interactions with a given customer. Inside that dream, I also dream of Gmail and Skype integration.
Suggestions, please?
My banks password system is terrible. It must be between 6-8 characters long, and no special characters allowed. When I originally created my password, I didn't read the rules and typed one of my "usual" ones in. It consisted of a dictionary word, followed by a series of numbers and special characters.

Because of their inferior UI, I never noticed my password was getting truncated at 8 characters long, which just so happens to be the length of the dictionary word. For almost 4 years my banks password was an eight character dictionary word instead of the 'slightly more secure' 14 character version I thought I was using all along.

If Zed's story is correct, an it'd be foolish of him to have claimed this it if wasn't, then this particular individual is proof that ignoring trolls doesn't work.

There's also another problem with your response - why the hell should anyone _else_ have to deal with unwanted dickjokes? Github almost certainly don't like the way Zed's brought attention to this, but it's _their_ poorly though out infrastructure (or more optimistically, their incomplete implementation of a good idea) that's providing a platform for Nick to go round harassing people he doesn't like. Nick needs to grow the fuck up and understand that unwanted dickjoking and homophobia isn't funny outside his special little circle of friends, but Github need to understand there's millions of idiot-Nicks out there, and ensure their product doesn't even allow this sort of behaviour to start.

No matter github's priorities or prior knowledge of this issue, there is always the option of manual intervention. That is probably what I would have contacted github for if I found myself in your problem.

I was just wondering if you tried to contact someone at github before reaching the conclusion that you needed to take this into your own hands. This is before finding the bug they needed to fix and letting the world know in a super high profile blog post that you had a problem. Even if it wouldn't do anything in the short term other than banning the account in question, github would have documented history of abuse and another big +1 for fixing the way adding collaborators works. I don't mean that you have to spend 6 months and become drinking buddies with everyone at github to get anything done. Even a simple one liner email like "this dick is being a dick with his dicks" to support would be better than assuming they're not going to do anything.

Basically, I'm trying to see this from a developer perspective. We expect these kinds of bug reports and emails from users (or, at least, analytics that would correspond with a problem) and we know that we can't read minds (well, I don't know about you, but I know I can't). We also have priorities. Yet we have users and clients and bosses that want to disregard all that :) If you do know that this was a well known problem to github and they didn't want to address your particular issue, then kudos to you for your creative trolling of a troll and deciding to switch to another provider. Otherwise, I don't know, I'm pretty ambivalent on how I feel about people complaining without saying anything to the company/person in question. I can't blame you for being frustrated, but part of your frustration might be self-inflicted.

MOOS Project Viewer 2.4 – A New Microsoft Project Viewer Version Available
Stand By Soft is pleased to announce the release of MOOS Project Viewer in French language. Besides this major change some other features were added like support for estimated task durations, more columns for tasks and support for MS Project 2007 .mpp files that were obtained by converting them from Microsoft Project 2010.

Here are the most important changes added to this version:

Added French translation
Added support for estimated task duration values
Added more columns for tasks including baselines
Support for 2010 to 2007 .mpp files conversion

MOOS Project Viewer is a cost saving solution for project stakeholders to view project details in a dynamic way and not just using static reports. By adding French language support the developers from Stand By Soft hope to better serve French users needs to view Microsoft Project files.

Estimated values for tasks duration is an important indicator regarding the status of the project. It helps project managers to easily see which tasks are still not a certain fact and which are well established. This is possible to be seen now with the current version of MOOS Project Viewer.

All tasks columns that are available in Microsoft Project 2010 are now also available in MOOS Project Viewer. This includes columns like baselines and all corresponding data (start date, finish date, duration, work, cost). This way users can see them not only on the Gantt chart but also in more detail on the table.

Certain problems where solved related to MS Project 2007 .mpp files that where generated by exporting them from Microsoft Project 2010. Companies that have purchased both version of Microsoft Project – 2007 and 2010 – and that are using just 2007 files for compatibility reasons will now be able to correctly view them.

MOOS Project Viewer allows you to open, view and print mpp files and it is running on any Java enabled platform including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

It is available at http://www.moosprojectviewer.com and can be downloaded from http://www.moosprojectviewer.com/download.php.

So explain why it is a "religion".

I am looking at human nature and saying that you are not going to change it and therefore you are going to need to work around it.

"We need a circular flow of recycable materials" is a technical solution too. And perhaps is the right answer.

Then only thing I am saying is that this lovely green view of us all living in harmony with the planet is complete rubbish. Because it does not take into account human nature. Yes I agree that some people can live like that - some very well indeed. But you can not make all do so.

You also have a very fixed idea of what cheap energy involves: "because they exploit materials that can be exhausted". I had in mind things like photovoltaics, wind - I live surrounded in all directions by wind farms and there is an immense amount of investment going on, modern nuclear tech - have you seen Bill Gates talk on this?

This is not a dogmatic view. If you came to me and could show that you could genuinely do it in a different way without relying on mass education and changing the way people normally behave then cool - I'll be on board.

Your idea that my views are a religion is a dogma in itself

What is worse is that this is why we are likely to be more screwed than we should be this problem: for a lot of solutions they some how need to stop all of the other solutions because they don't match ideals. I am not advocating a single solution - I want as many people as possible trying. I am not even saying don't try to get everyone living in a sustainable way - I recycle, when I finally get round to buying a house I have every intention of having a crack at doing my own power generation. All I am saying is that any plan that involves changing the behaviour of every single human being on this planet is not going to work under any circumstances - and when the failure mode of that being your only plan is so serious then people need to be pointing this out.
If the Feds start confiscating Ohioan playstations to payback chinese citizens, how long would it be until the states themselves revoke thair consent to be governed by the Feds? (See American Revolution, Articles of Confederation, and Confederate States of America),
Are you saying that Chinese authorities are not corrupt? Did the state controlled media of China make you believe so?

Take a look at Corruption Index published by Transparency International:

http://transparency.org/policy_research/surveys_indices/cpi/...

Both China and India are the same. In fact, with free-media, India has a greater chance of tackling corruption in the future than China.
Aside from how much I obviously like to ramble? ;)

I wasn't thinking a point system, more like, "Once you connect to other people, it your job to keep your information up to date, and what information others have access to."

Maybe ask people when signing up, "To help you stay in contact, we'd like to send you a reminder to keep this information up to date! Please choose a time frame for a reminder:" and let them choose 3 or 6 months. At least, I don't think an email once every six months (saying "your friends have this contact information from you:" If this is not up to date, please log in an update your contact info!) is spamming.
It's not science, it's epistemology. Gods are not relevant to science by definition, as they cannot be tested.

>I know first hand just how useless college education is, along with those books. Which to be honest, I've only skimmed through a few.

:\

You don't know what science is, and you don't value knowledge.

>There has been few if any scientific truths achieved by a man that have stood the test of time.

You definitely don't understand science. It's about process, methodology, testability, and continually expanding, refining, and testing our understanding of the universe.

A superior method to "making shit up".

This article is an apt read here; but in a little different context. The article talks about Indians fighting against real India which is undeniable, but the flip side is that this is the same fight which is enabling people in India to work the way they want. Sans the economic liberation, if development was left in the hand of Govt. (a job well done in China), we would not be seeing this spur. If that little percentage of Indians were not fighting against the real India to create their own work, India would not be where it is today. I am not trying to claim any top spot and I know that almost nothing has been done till now, but the improvements cannot be ignored. Talk about the IT companies; irrespective of the quality of work they do, they have definitely achieved something (USD6-10 billion in revenue) which looked impossible few years back, and when you see them operating you will find that they have hardly anything to do with the Govt. support, they manage their infra from tip to toe and sometimes they contribute to the surrounding infra too.

But what if you're just making assumptions about them for no reason? it's hard to cry that they hate you and won't do anything if you didn't try official channels to get shit fixed.
Best of luck with whatever you decide.

"Mirroring" as an etiquette strategy only works with those currently in a position of being your social peers. It doesn't work with social superiors (e.g. mailing in a resume when applying for a job) or inferiors (e.g. "I see you're all trying to guess how X works. I made X; I'll explain.")

"Most clients aren't interested in a "unit of work"
I disagree. A prototype, especially for these kinds of projects, is absolutely crucial. To have a concrete version of their idea before shelling out $10,000/month seems to be something quite a lot of people would be interested in.

"You may not need the money, but your clients don't really care; they expect that when they cut you a $5,000 check, you're going to be 100% committed to delivering what you promised them."
This makes the assumption that Chris will not be 100% committed to delivering what he promised.

"Again, your official pitch is wham bam thank you ma'ma."
His official pitch is that he will build a prototype for someone in 2 weeks time for $5,000. Nothing about that indicates to me that just because he has set a time limit on it, he will not have his clients best interests at heart or that he wouldn't be willing to work with his clients to figure out a next course of action should the work increase beyond 2 weeks time.

"when all is said and done full time contractors who align their interests with their clients are almost always more productive than "I'm doing this for fun" freelancers who think their impressive resumes entitle them to $xx,xxx/month in short-term client engagements."
Entitled is certainly a strong word to use. If he is as capable as he says he is, I'm not sure why he shouldn't get paid for a service he is providing for people who need it. I'm also not sure there's as big a difference between contractors and a "I'm doing this for fun" freelancers as you make it out to be. Contractors are allowed to pick what they work on, same as freelancers. :)

actually, he has put in writing that the title of the story isn't true. I still think there are reasonable questions that haven't been answered but I'm not sure we'll actually get answers to those.

We're talking about whether India has made progress from its own past. Why are you bringing former Soviet states for comparison?

The Shuttle project promised launch costs in the $100s for a kilo. It failed with roughly a factor of 100.

All the NASA money wasted could have been used better in doing something! Like space research -- or going to Mars.

The shuttle project has probably delayed humanity living outside the atmosphere by decades. Hell, the shuttle's existence might literally have doomed humanity, if another dinosaur killer comes along...

The only "good" thing with the shuttle, which makes people support it, is that it was a job program.
