I take your point, and it's definitely a fair one. Ideally, we would anticipate and iron out all disputes up front. In software development, that's exactly what we try to do!

In contracts, though, there are cases where a company will live with ambiguity because it has done an assessment of (1) the likelihood of a dispute, (2) its leverage vs the other party, and (3) its ability to prevail on the merits in the event of a dispute.

A contract is usually, although not always, a compromise between two or more parties with at least some divergent interests. In reaching a satisfactory compromise, sometimes you need to prioritize the parties' disagreements and move onward. That's why I mention the concession to ambiguity – because it just happens that way.

And guess what? There's a parallel in software development. Whether it's shipping dates, lack of resources, skills, whatever, software development is also often a compromise. We all know that stuff gets swept under the rug because it's an obscure edge case, or it only affects 0.x percent of the userbase, etc., etc.

My point and yours aren't mutually exclusive; I just wanted to acknowledge that sometimes reality intervenes and makes great things good enough.
It looks like it would take a velocity change of 1 km/s to make it work. For the mass you state, that would be a change of 1.4 * 10^16 joules of kinetic energy, which is 3.2 megatons TNT equivalent. It would take a nuclear reactor to do it quickly enough. It looks like a 50 megawatt reactor would do the trick in about 10 years. That sounds practical.

The tricky part is the propellant for the ion drive. The asteroid probably contains a lot of oxygen that could be extracted, but that takes fancy chemical processing, and the oxygen would tend to corrode the working parts. Shipping an inert gas from Earth would be technically easier, but the launch costs would be impossible unless you develop laser launchers first.

I wish there was be something, actually, that would match what you can do with the Eclipse/Java combo for other languages.

Eclipse turns java into a ctrl-space fest. People yell at java for being verbose and statically typed, but all this verbosity is what allows an IDE such as Eclipse to exist. Just press ctrl+space and the verbosity turns into clarity and speed for both the programmer and the IDE.

I have more than a million lines of codes behind me since I learned how to program, 4 years ago. That's 250 thousand lines of working code per year, and I didn't even code more than half-time in java, and I can't type faster than 40wpm. I'm not advocating quantity vs quality, just saying that quantity becomes a completely irrelevant measure when you use Eclipse & Java, and that's very refreshing; you can keep coding long, dumb, and not performance-critical code while you think about another more important/complex section of your project, participate to a meeting, discuss stuff on the phone - you just set sail and let Eclipse do the hard rowing for you.

As for refactoring - delete a class named MyClass with a doStuff() method in a project, create a new interface MyClass with a doStuff() method in another project and another package, add this project as a dependency to the first project, select the first project, press ctrl+shift+O, et voila, every file was fixed, and it simply works within a few seconds even if there are a thousand sources referencing that MyClass. I'm not sure if there's any language/IDE that allows that sort of fast & furious refactor, but do tell!

What are other great IDE/language combos?
Beat me to it. :)

There is, sadly, some truth hidden in this quip.

I doubt they care, as long as you pay 10% (or whatever it is) of total taxable revenue. I think that's how it works in Australia, where we do round.

The tax man only cares about aggregates, unless they are in audit mode.
If you go into computer science, you will:

* Work with a lot of socially underdeveloped people. Hey, they spend their time fighting compilers, not reaching consensus. Soft skills are largely irrelevant.

* Probably work in one of a very few technology hubs around the world. This is all the more painful when you realize how little interaction you actually need with your team, and you could be doing your job from a shack on a Thai beach.

* Never have your job understood by anyone. Unless your S.O. is also a geek, he/she will have no deep understanding and appreciation of your work, beyond the decent salary. Random strangers will have no idea what "software engineer" or "researcher" means.

* Spend your life in front of a computer. If you are in a certain percentage of the population (which you won't know), you may suffer debilitating physical pain from this which curbs or ends your career.

* Experience a significant uptick in ageism around your mid-thirties. Just when you're gaining some wisdom to go along with your sponge-like learning ability, you'll suddenly find yourself devalued for no objective reason.

You can go into finance and become a millionaire, or at least hob-nob with a few. You can become a doctor, lawyer, or (to a lesser extent) a CPA, probably make better money, and get significantly more respect. You can become a teacher, cop, or join the military and make less, but be labeled 'hero'. Why would you want to be a professional geek?

My advice to young people is to pursue your interest in CS, but major in something else. Being in a non-CS field with outstanding computer skills makes you very special. Those same computer skills are merely so-so in tech centers, and you have no additional versatility.
You actually got me to realize how natural it is for me to sort my bank notes. I also put older notes on the top of the stack so that they get out of it first.

It pretty much depends on the country. In Italy for example, people love to use cash (it's cultural) whereas in France people tend to use Credit Cards mostly now (it's a recent trend). In most less developed countries, Cash is still the king too even when there is good access to reliable Banks and a stable currency (Thailand for example).

Other combos? Prehaps Visual Studio for C# with ReSharper. It even gives suggestions about folding loops into LINQ statements and simillar.

What I'm really disappointed is abysmal quality of IDEs for dynamic languages (Python and JavaScript for example). I know that's because of the language design, but writing code in those languages after coming from Java/Eclipse or VS2010/C# feels like I'm crippled.
This is one of those stories where I wish we had a bat-signal to summon grellas.
I was referring only to US tendencies to perceive certain professions as more prestigious. Doctors and lawyers have more prestige compared to other professions if you only include those prestigious professions that mandate higher education.
I think there are about two things on that list I haven't done, besides not having started CS/Comp. Engineering yet.

It might just be me but shouldn't just a whole bunch of debugging, technical know-how and actually having a strong interest in technology also be important? I know many CS students that besides gaming are not really interested in nerdy technical things and I know there are a lot of people starting CS (at least here in my country) that have never really used a computer for anything other than internet surfing and word processing.

It's not like you become a good programmer or computer person over night just by taking a three year long CS bachelor.

Somebody who is already committed to learning more things on their spare time and already has an interest in these things before starting school will always come out of the situation/bachelor better. Don't you think so?

I would also have included a bit of electrical engineering knowledge (like soldering, electrical circuits and things like that) because just because you are a CS student and work in software it shouldn't mean you should know nothing of the systems and technology you use.
It's hard for me to have sympathy when people choose to develop for Facebook instead of for the Internet. When you are contributing to the problem, you have to accept a certain level of potential downside and lack of control. There's a massive internet out there. You know, everything that is not facebook.com and you can do pretty much everything on it, but without being subjected to the rules and whims of anyone else.

It does work pretty well, but for new, big publisher games, "not too expensive" is simply not true. Buying the disc version on Amazon is usually 30-50% cheaper. I've bought indie games on Steam, though.

I'm very uncertain of the usefulness of this. Do people really do this type of research on their phones? I could see myself using something like this on a computer, but not on my phone. I would think my notes on the phone would be more of "remember to research Obama". Now if this app was synchronized with a desktop client with such features, I could really see myself using it.
Oh, I see. Hmm, that's better, but I don't see how it's sustainable for them...

I just finished reading ReWork, Jason Fried's latest book. The irony of this submission is that the book describes Christian to a tee: the customer who always wants more; the customer who has outgrown the product; the customer who compares competitors but would rather complain than move.

I have to admire the way 37signals has grown over the last few years. Sure, they clearly don't integrate every feature. The user interface certainly works but has no iGloss about it at all. Pricing is steep and they hide the lower-priced plans. But it works: people still use the service.

If you're a coffee shop you concentrate on your coffee. If you're an electrician, you concentrate on the quality of your work. Adding extras like "nice cable ties" are irrelevant. 37signals are concentrating on their core functionality. When the day comes that the majority of their users require X feature and that feature becomes a norm in Project Management, Contact Management, Collaboration, etc then I'm almost sure they will react: why wouldn't they?
Top500 Supercomputers - June 2011
I don't think any VC's goal is 2X, especially not for one of the most promising startups.
I was kind of impressed with dotcloud beta, its really simple to mix and match databases and deploy them. But I guess I can't afford $100/mo for hosting my kind of experimental apps. I was expecting a usage based pricing scheme similar to Amazon or ep.io. You guys really need to have some intermediate plans. Its a great product, by the way!
Yeah, you know what, I take it back. It's not the addicts who are assholes, it's our lovely government.
It's most of the time 12.01, because nobody is sure whether midnight is actually 12:00 a.m or 12:00 p.m. To avoid confusion or phishy interpretations they choose the one minute delay, cause it's clear that way which time was actually meant.

Crane & Co. has yearly revenues of about 300 million (revenues mind you, not profits). Less than a quarter of that is US currency paper. A 75 million dollar a year business is hardly worth it to invest in bribery or lobbying.
Yeah, but the impact of a RMT system on non-vanity items has the greatest effect on the players who actually engage in pvp a lot, the null sec players.
No, this is not where the smart money goes, as I understand the term "smart money." Perhaps you meant something else, like "the money of smart people with whom I am familiar."
Yeah, I think the high hourly wages belies the fact that the lawyers must be underemployed, unless they're manufacturing work for themselves. That latter part is a pretty chilling thought, actually...
Aesthetically I love how the £50 note looks, in part thanks to its size, but it is really annoying. I guess most people don't often really come in contact with it, but anyone playing in a casino is likely to get them when cashing out, and they stick out of my wallet just a little, but enough to annoy me. And if you're cashing out a decent sum, asking for £20s isn't really an option,too many notes and the wallet won't even fold over.
"Apple" = "genius" (OP) + prosumers love Apple (above)

Can't we have a bit of cooling down on this Apple fan thing? The first and last Apple computer I booted myself did crash hard and there was no way to recover, go into BIOS, "hack" it if you will. Ok it was 10 years ago but still, when I see an Iphone owner I ask: show me your files, your music and pic files. Don't you /own/ these?

How can you hack something if you don't have access to its files? When I mount my Ipod, I always wonder why tf they did rename all my music to F01.mp3, F02.mp3, etc. And because of this renaming there is a silly upper limit on the number of tracks I can hold on this said wonderful gadget (I use it because it has a 80G sized belly).

We should be hackers here (and defend the positive meaning of this word given by pg, particularly now). I understand why a CEO would love to use a nice looking toy as their phone, even in a tech startup. But I feel any true hacker should/would feel imprisoned with any device that you cannot mount and scp to, right?
As for moving jdk instal to ramdisk, on can (ab)use the fact that in Debian/Ubuntu /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun is a symbolic link to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-${version}/

So create a tmpfs and mount it under /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun

sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=200M,nr_inodes=2k,mode=0775,noatime,nodiratime tmpfs /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
cd /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
cp -a /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-${version}/* .

Done. Of course, if you have more than one jdk installed, update-alternatives may be necessary

This is a very good 60s psychedelic radio station: http://www.techwebsound.com/. Apart from playing very good 60s music, it has a plays (somewhat ironically) a lot of archive recordings of government warnings against LSD, mushrooms and other psychedelic drugs.

Unity3d has its own javascript-like language and introduced the keyword #pragma-strict - it enforces static typing within a script. I imagine an IDE could make good use of such toggle, for the best of both worlds.

One problem I have with your model is that it leads to blaming people for being lazy and anti-social. That might sound not so bad, but in communism this blaming went so far as to put people against the wall and shoot them. They couldn't explain why their system wasn't working, so they only explanation seemed to be "sabotage" as in people not being social enough.

I just feel basing a system on selfishness (win-win) is more stable.
The lack of convenience of epub-books is caused by the lack of content only available in epub format. If DRM-free epub books were to become the dominant format, the convenience would come.

You argue that Rowling must be doing this for the money and that she will likely sell fewer copies because the distribution channel is foreign to the buyers. This doesn't quite add up. The other extreme analysis would suggest that Rowling is sticking her neck out for epub, trying to push it to the dominant position to force ereaders to take the format seriously.

Both analyses are extreme. The truth usually lies between the extremes.
No, as neither programming nor book writing is about typing.

During my interviews at Google I asked a lot of questions, and the answers I got gave me a very scary view of how the place really works.

The search and ads teams work in a magical castle high in the clouds. Almost everything else in the company is considered a fun side project. You are not supposed to think about making money, or being successful. Don't worry about getting users either, that will come as a side effect of being a Google project.

10% of the company accounts for 97% of the revenues ($30+ billion/yr). When you are in the 90% of the company that generates the 3% "other" revenue, its easy to get your project killed, or your engineering staff reassigned, etc. A $100 million dollar a year business unit does not move the needle at all, so you can never be sure of your future.
I couldn't get it to work with the -Xmn128m argument. It wouldn't startup with it in, without it certainly does speed up the startup time.

Chattrr - a in-situ chat bookmarklet
I definitely want this to lead in a new generation of self publishing for writers that can look as good as the big boys provided they have good editing, and a fantastic website.
One of the central tenets of Wikipedia is that there is no ownership. This is intended to mean that no editor had any authority over any other editor when it came to article content, and anything like what you're suggesting would conflict with that.
Its pretty much cannon now, that F2P invariably leads to P2W (Pay to Win). There has to be an evil MMORPG manual out there that outlines the following steps.

1. Introduce microtransactions, promising they will only be for vanity items.
2. On day one of microtransactions, include more OP gear in the cash shop than vanity items.
3. Start counting profits while a few smart ones leave, but the suckers line up to pay more for less.
Two Charts For Anyone Who Thinks Skipping College Is A Good Idea
Yes, UK and (afaik) France have special laws that require you to surrender cryptographic keys.
Facebook has a culture of introducing live testing according to some developer statements so it's slightly surprising that this happened.

Google seems to test their systems well, except for UI changes though.
Perhaps the 43 percent enrollment drop was partly due to the "geeks" leaving college and scoring funding for their startup.

Perhaps the "without college graduates with the ability to understand and innovate cutting edge technologies in the decades to come" is due to the problem that colleges are usually several years behind in teaching the newest software. Are you going to hire somebody who learned how to do AJAX calls to PHP in school or somebody who is running websockets to Node.js?

Perhaps "...appeal to teens, but they want programs to include career days, mentoring, lab tours and counseling." is exactly what turns off a hacker. Solving problems is engaging, getting lectured at by some mentor or counselor is not.

The real shortage will be from pushing all the hackers into lulzsec and anonymous, not from the imploding academia.
Could it be that LulzSec/Anonymous are the revolutionaries of the next decade?

Early revolutionaries are always seen as criminals. Only in retrospect and only after they provoke major changes in the society does the society recognize them as some kind of heroes. But until that happens, they will be persecuted and some of them caught and treated like criminals. And I'm not saying they are completely innocent or anything. But all revolutionaries eventually provoke some damage. But that damage is insignificantly small compared to the changes they eventually cause.

Things are definitely getting really interesting, and I think this is just the beginning. The more the Governments will try to censor the Internet (which seems like the case lately), the more of these people will rise to fight against them. My money is on them.
Steve Jobs has said in interviews that his taking LSD as a youth was a life changing experience for him. I am very much in favor of restarting clinical trials as long as it's not abused. I think there might be great potential there and as long as we continue to stigmatize it, we will miss out on any knowledge we could gain from studying it. And even if it turns out to have no medicinal value at all, at least we'd know, rather than treating psychoactive drugs like poison. I mean, we have drugs now for treating fatigue in people who work long and irregular hours, why can't we at least give these compounds a real shot at proving whether or not they have value?
Why doesn't the USA let a Standards Institution define a standard whether midnight is 12:00 a.m. or 12:00 p.m. to solve this problem permanently?
