I want to learn Javascript. Give me an advice
Like the title says, I want to learn Javascript. I'm very impressed of what can be done with node, backbone.js, jQuery and all sorts of js libraries. For a noob like me, what you suggest as a starting point. Please be nice with me, I'm still learning.
PS: I'm rather good at PHP, HTML and CSS3 and C, so I'm not that new to programming.
Thanks for your valuable feedback. As per my understanding this site will connect fashion designers(user/partner) to online users who like buying apparels online(Customer). So, in theory it is just another middleman like site connection buyers with seller. Ofcourse, no one will buy designs but they will buy apparels having good design. We need to bring a third entity here i.e. manufacturers.

I really don't know if it will be viable and profitable. I need to think more about it.
That said, it wouldn’t be EA’s first big bet on a hot gaming startup

Not to nitpick, but can a 10-year-old company still be called a startup?

The Github guys just never cease to impress me. They've made development so much more enjoyable. And at any given time, you can expect them to not only do the right thing, but to do better than that. Like, releasing a great Git app for free, hoping to get more people to use Git, and thereby Github, and thereby becoming paying customers. A perfectly reasonable plan, but most companies don't have that foresight and patience. My hat is off to you, you rock.

I know many similar sites such as threadless or myntra.com(India) which are quite popular but they are limited in sense that they deal in t-shirts etc only and their designs are just about adding some text or image on t-shirt.

What I am talking about is full-fledged designs by fashion designers. It includes not only t-shirts but also other designs for females.

Putting up a site will not be a problem. The real problem will be dealing with product life cycle after taking the orders. i.e. who will manufacture the apparel(product)? What will be the minimum order required? Who will ship it? How much time will it take? etc.

> I've always defined my level of expertise in an area in relation to how easily I can explain it to someone who knows absolutely nothing about it.

That's right. As my teacher used to say - if a professor cannot explain the essence of his work to an elementary school student, he doesn't understand what he's doing.
For example, I was thinking about why it took so long for Eric Schmidt to be chosen as CEO of Google.

> The Nokia 1100 isn't just the biggest selling mobile phone ever, it's the biggest selling consumer electronics device, having sold over 250m units.

It was also the most sturdy phone I've ever had. As anecdotal evidence, it survived being dropped into a swimming pool. My 1100 died some years ago, and I still miss it.

As for Nokia surviving the deluge of cheap Chinese knockoffs, I dunno. A large number of similar manufacturers have managed to appear in India over the last few years, and they seem to be eating up Nokia's marketshare in the really low-end phones

Look at this phone, for example: http://www.spiceglobal.com/SpiceMobiles/Model.aspx?Id=191 - at ~40$, it is pretty good.
I feel that the boilerplate code IDEs spit out on demand is far more of a liability than not. Once it's created it's your responsibility to maintain.

By focusing on the creation of the simplistic code we ignore the burden of maintaining ten lines of critical fluff for every intentional line of code.
Sure, alright, but that's supposed to mean faster servers and a smaller footprint, and since one or two people here mentioned that Node doesn't really live up to that, my question is: What does Node offer me in terms of speed and footprint that, say, nginx doesn't?
I feel like the designer should be in charge of making the product. You website should simply serve as a way for them to get the design out there. Again, I think taking notes from Kickstarter would be good here.

Let the designer decide how many pledges they want before they will produce. Once this number of pledges has been reached, you take a cut. Then all of the shipping information for the pledgers is passed from you to the designer and they are in charge of filling the orders.

So what has this guy achieved? Writing a popular blog is a solid achievement, but it's not an amazing one.

The reason I ask is so I know who to listen to.

Leo Babuta:

"Only let yourself do 50-75 percent of what you want to do."

Sebastian Marshall (http://www.sebastianmarshall.com/about):

"I track my time, set daily and weekly objectives, and succeed on them roughly 70% of the time. If I start getting into a groove where I’m succeeding at 100%, I up the difficulty until I’m back around 70%."

I'm inclined to listen to Sebastian because he seems smarter and more energetic, but it'd be nice if each one bragged about their achievements more so I could make a more informed decision.
Looks pretty good. Why doesn't it respect .gitignore files though? I opened a C++ project and it wanted to commit about thirty object files, and things like that...
Yep--and just to reassure you, it's more than an idea on my end... I designed and maintained a critical system a few years ago on a large K/V store that used this method, and it worked without a hitch. We never even needed to think about the fact that the documents within the store were comprised of various schemas from several generation of the application (except when we wrote and tested the next incremental link the upgrade chain).
Call a consultant recruitment agency, they'll be able to guide you. The bad news is you DO need to slug it out for years, to gain experience. Not many companies will pay you 100+ USD an hour, if you are fresh out of college.

I talked with a handful of consultant recruitment companies before landing my current contract through one of them. They all said that to get seriously considered, you need a degree and 5 years of full-time commercial experience, OR no degree but 10 years of full-time commercial experience. And that is today. Just 2-3 years ago the requirements were much tougher, due to many consultants on the market, but not very many assignments. This is on the Scandinavian market at least.

Basically, the more experienced you get, the higher hourly rates you can generally get. You'll also need to be able to sell yourself though, which can naturally be hard. That's where the recruitment agencies or agents come in. You get 10-20% less money by going through an agent, but they take care of the selling. You just show up for the interviews.
I don't think we need a lottery. Let them all in!

We need to go back to what America used to be: a country of immigrants, and laissez-faire capitalism (under this system, which I submit is the only truly moral social system, each additional immigrant adds value and earns his own keep).

(One of the worst things America did under FDR was to turn back boatloads of European Jews fleeing Hitler. Think of the value - for other Americans - that those people could have created if they were let in instead of being turned back to be exterminated. We need to overturn much of what FDR and his ilk did to this country. Not just freeing immigration and emigration, but unshackling us from their social programs, too.)

legal immigrant (now citizen) here
immigration is a pain in the ass. we stood in line at the INS at 3am (back before they instituted appointments), and i'm not just talking tech people...i mean everyone, from all over the world and all walks of life. it sucked but we all did it.
we stood in lines and paid the fees and waited and followed the rules. if you don't, adios. i have zero, ZERO pity for everyone who has tried to come across as a charity case when they really just wanted to jump the line or not deal at all. to even get back in line i would assess a $10k fine on all of you, regardless of income or background.

and the beauty of CLI is that, unlike with a GUI, a CLI can serve as both a human UI, and a machine UI or API. and it does the latter for free. give me a binary-only program with a CLI interface and I can build other things on top of it, put it into a pipeline, turn it into a cronjob, etc. give me a binary-only GUI? often nothing you can build on it

Hulu feels technically sufficient to me. It's about content now. A sale seems like it could go two ways:

1) They've been getting by on sweetheart deals from their owners, and once departed their licensing dries up and they are useless. (Their licensing already look pretty pathetic IMHO - for god's sake there's shows you can view for free online that you can't view as a paying custom on a TV)

2) Separated from TV they can hire negotiators that are cutthroat and leave every negotiation making the content provider feel like they've been taken advantage of. Like negotiators who say "if you don't give your show A, I'm going to go to show B and give them everything they want and promote the hell out of them and bury you." And they mostly lie but sometimes do in fact destroy their opponent to make a point.

But if Yahoo buys them they are fucked, because Yahoo fucks everything up.

I assume Netflix's approach is to negotiate hard, but be willing to walk away from anything because the back catalog has become so large that no one thing is essential. Hulu isn't so different, but is strategically tied to current releases as a starting point.
Hear hear! Great thoughts on cutting your teeth in the startup game. Though I must admit the part of seeking out meetings to sit in on made me die a little inside. You will learn to hate meetings, young grasshopper.

What really has to sink in is that there are at least 11 million people in this guy's situation. I can't think of a single example in history of 11 million people being forcibly removed from a country, and any analogous parallels are quite ominous. Fact:(1) they are staying here Fact:(2) there are real, tangible costs to them, you, and society as a whole for them to remain undocumented. Conclusion: There should be a path to citizenship for them.
I think the title is perfect. I didn't expect anything else when I clicked it. And it's so properly formed, it makes you really curious :)

Regulation D was amended in 2009 to take away the 3 sub-limit that applied previously increasing it to 6 in all circumstances. But you are correct in that this is really a traditional rule that has been around for years. It is definitely becoming more of an issue as more and more people rely on online transfers and shy away from in-person banking (which is exempt from the rule as is ATM transfers).

Are you sure about your last point? I have never heard of this, but I wouldn't be surprised if the bank lawyers found some type of loophole. But just to clarify the $25 I referenced is a returned ACH fee. The money is never actually transferred out of savings into checking when this happens.
Let me preface this by saying I am not attacking you just stating an opinion about the sentiment

Thats the exact type of thinking that keeps so many people away from programming and computer science.

A nice accessible answer that helps a person make a logical leap in the right direction is so much more important to a novice than pedantry.

Its not a perfect answer but to a person who has no clue whats going its a lot more helpful to get some idea
That's obvious, but more than 90% of those tutorials are cr*p. You, for example, from where exactly did you learn Javascript?

To be honest, i just accidently sort of fell onto it. There was no plan, no "execution" or even an idea. But some things that helped me build a portfolio:

1. Pure luck - i got a nice little project starting out, which had a nice, unique design and where i became a lead and got a chance to do some neat stuff. They also got some neat press, which added weight to my portfolio.

2. Used Elance etc for what they are, i.e. lead building. Initially i was the lowest bid, since i could afford to be... just to get some links to showcase. Also, i moved back to living with my parents, thought it's the norm in India.

3. I was everywhere, wherever i could find a lead. It didn't matter if i wasn't interested in the project, although i focused only on django, python gigs. I just shot a mail to get some eyeballs. I would look for startups that needed full-time people and sent them an email if they were open to freelancers. That sometimes lead to long-term projects which are still continuing. Infact i still spend a couple of hours everyday on stuff like this. But my hit-ratio has definitely increased, out of every 10 emails i get atleast 5 responses.

4. I started my rate at $20/hr :-|, and kept increasing it after one or two projects.

5. I didn't really sleep much initially, or could only manage ~4-5 hours every 2 days. But i was working equivalent to 3-4 people, and thus was building a portfolio at a double pace.
Although it seems obvious in hindsight, but i realized late that this wasn't gonna scale up much.

5. I collaborated with some offshore(i'm in india, so i mean offshore as in other 3rd world countries). It took a while to find the right sort of people, since most of the freelancers out there are not good. They don't have a sense of urgency, and closure on projects. They don't meet deadlines, and disappear after a few days. I usually got a constant string of excuses like hard-disk failure, laptop screen busted, grandfather died. But i found some good devs along the way. So i started delegating more stuff to them, and increasing my bandwidth.

I'm not sure if those points are of any help, since your mileage may vary!

"My only solution, the lawyer said, was to go back to the Philippines and accept a 10-year ban before I could apply to return legally."

I am all for letting Vargas stay, and for liberalizing this country's immigration policies.

But would going abroad for 10 years really be so bad?

Vargas has proven himself to be an accomplished professional writer and should have no problem finding work pretty much anywhere he goes.

As a writer and a reporter he would gain valuable international experience by living and writing abroad. He could see the world. reunite with his mother and brother, learn something about his country of origin.. and, who knows, he might find he prefers the Philippines (or some other country) even more than the US.

He does have a life in America and that's the country he's most used to, so leaving won't be easy; but he said he hasn't let himself get too close to anyone here, so that should make it somewhat easier to move somewhere else.

When you're young 10 years might seem like a long time, but it's really not that long in the scheme of things. If he's in his 20's now, he'll be in his 30's when he gets back -- plenty of time left to rebuild his life here, should he wish to.

Unfortunately, there is no guarantee he would be allowed back in, and it would be stressful or even dangerous not to be able to come back in in the meantime, should he need to for some reason. So it's certainly not an enviable position to be in; but it's not necessarily the worst thing in the world to go abroad for 10 years -- many people do so gladly and willingly.
Although I disagree with you, I applaud you for your eloquence.

AFAIK, immigrants (whether legal or illegal) are in a gray area wrt constitutional protections. For example, on entry all aliens (including perm. residents) are fingerprinted whereas citizens are not. The lowly officer examining your papers can decide to not admit an alien into the country if you mouth off, and he's pretty much the final authority.

I seriously doubt any of things you describe are "problematic" from a constitutional point of view. It seems well-settled that aliens need not be treated the same as citizens.

I didn't recognize that the cipher could be split into four quadrants (with the "+" symbol bisecting vertically and horizontally) before reading the comment; maybe he's cycling through the symbols based on the quadrant they're in? I noticed you wrote about substitution cipher, so maybe some relation to that (rather than cycle sequentially)? There were some interesting comments from the thread, although I agree with what you're saying that it's not systematically cracked if Zodiac was following the method he used in the other ciphers.

One of the most important charts in that article is the valuation range. How often do you see a VC give specific numbers for valuations? The direct link is: http://bothsides.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/...

Last year, the company dropped staff ratings and bonuses, shifting to a flat 8% annual salary rise with monthly “coaching conversations” between managers and team members.

While I guess that's generous, it sounds almost like a public service style seniority system in effect.
37Signals was initially your typical web design / development shop doing projects for customers.

Consultants can roughly be considered "external, temporary employees", paid by the hour, usually by one or two clients. The web design shop will typically have a whole lot of different customers, and charge fixed price for projects.

So there is a not-entirely-insignificant difference between the two.

In the web dev shop, you'll probably learn more about business in general, but will work less / earn more as a consultant.

I think the authors point is that being a consultant (not service company) is bad if you want to do a startup, as you get too accustomed to having lots of money and relatively low hours of work. In that sense, you can't make a direct comparison with 37Signals as they were the more traditional service company. At least in case I remember correctly :-)

In any case though, consultants naturally can and do start startups. Often with less debts due to large savings.

Since you already know C, you also know most of JavaScript. The syntax is very similar. I would suggest loading up nodeJS and using it in REPL mode to work your way through the basics. printf = console.log() - without the formating :-(

Then starts the hard part of getting a handle on DOM. I recommend David Flanagan's "Rhino book" and Douglas Crockford's articles which you may find at www.crockford.com. In my experience Chrome and Safari developer tools let you explore effectively. Although reading the W3.org standards documents does help clarify difficult points.
