For my money a good introduction to CT must have compelling examples, which I don't quite see here. To understand basic category theory this is a fantastic introduction http://www.mscs.dal.ca/~selinger/papers.html#graphical . It is not meant to be an introduction to CT but it's basic CT with some amazing examples.

It's a very well researched piece on the impact it had on one boy's life - very moving, very well written, very fascinating.
That UI is also has several UX problems:

1) Poor defaults - better to pick "Choose One" / NULL instead of misclassifying gender, etc

2) Small widgets, hard to click/read

3) Confusing "OK" button and saving behavior

4) Hard to even find in the first place!
Ahhh... memories. Back when trying to dual-boot linux had about 20% chance of not fucking your whole shit up up.

Although that may have been down to my relative inexperience at the time.

EDIT: I have more memories of using the plain ol 'fixmbr' command that you ran from that weird 'recovery console' shell on the windows install CD. Didn't realise fdisk had a /fixmbr switch. Guess it does the same thing.

What you think about android? Google rocks. But what you think about orkut? Wait and watch.
A nice writeup. I think the title is a little misleading though. The 'programmer' part was telling me that there would be a few more specifics on some of the smaller details. I'm really looking forward to checking out Google+ though. This review, like many, only makes me want to get my hands on it sooner
They took the invite system down tonight due to too much demand, else I'd send you one.
The result is my Android kernel crashes, and is rebooting, while I'm still on a voice call. Not necessarily the intended result.
Ditto, I had a side project that was evolving in the same direction as the way Google circles' deals with photosharing.

I had heard of circles previously when they leaked things last year, but I assumed it would be vapourware or a half-start like Buzz or Wave. Now that they have actually come out with the product, I'm going to have to pivot away to plan B.
Glad someone chimed in, because i didnt have a clue who was what and what was who
If they aren't already doing this, then they should really start soon.
Some of us are already doing this on FB. I have about 200 FB friends, they are all people I know and like.

I don't know how those people with super high friend counts manage to eke any utility out of FB, unless they're trying to sell something.
Great idea. The mixing of circles in Fbook is a show stopper for me.

I do not have a Google+-shaped hole in my life right now.

If a) it starts to matter to non-technical Internet users and b) they tie it into search heavily (which is the Google go-to playbook for promoting properties of strategic importance), I will start caring with alacrity.
Though the rest of the features are relatively mild, I'm definitely a fan of the "hangout". I was just on a chat earlier with 4 friends - I'm in the pacific northwest, three of them were in the midwest in several cities and one was all the way on the other side of the world, in Calcutta. Quality was fantastic and smooth, especially considering our pal in India was on a tethered 1Mbps cellular connection. Needless to say, I'm sold. Google+ makes Skype look like some teenager's high school science project gone wrong.

The invites weren't actually that bad, nothing like Gmail was initially. Most (Everyone?) had unlimited invites for a good 4-5+ hours.

You could actually get in if you refreshed the main page, they seemed to let people sign up through some magical formula.
sadly no...

While the UI is good with animations and a nice design, I don't see anything that will make me shift completely away from FB: I might use it for hangout as an alternative to calling over google chat/skype. That's about it.

Making it invite-only forces people to talk about it. Gmail's slow launch was done really well, and probably drove interest more than harmed it. If Google handles this well, the same thing could happen for Google+.
I haven't seen any hype surrounding google+ except for HN and other similar communities. I don't think the regular FB user is even aware that google+ is in testing phase, or that google is even working on anything like it.

Could you elaborate on this with some real world examples? Unless it is something very obvious like using "..." or "-" a lot while nobody else does, I am wondering how this can be done reliably and efficiently especially considering that what HR knows about your writing style is most likely only from business emails, your application and other business correspondences where one would likely use a different writing style than in an internal anonymous discussion.
A possible improvement to the tutorial would be a part of how to work with code stored in files. If I haven't missed anything, the current version seems solely REPL-based.

On the other hand this would into the IDE territory which maybe something that the author intentionally avoided.
Perhaps a more appropriate first step toward stopping being an "attention whore" is discerning your audience. I would be very surprised if your post is very useful advice for most of the people here.

Rajesh Rao: A Rosetta Stone for the Indus script
Just watch as your friends and family drag you through the don't-need-it wall carving a Google+ shaped hole.

Google+ will succeed because it's an exact clone of Facebook, but faster, more open to search engines (shocking!), integrated right into Gmail and makes it easier than Facebook to spam people.

The feature which Google is claiming to be the revolutionary new thing (Circles) has already existed in Facebook for a long time (lists and I've been using them). The problem with Facebook lists is that they are hidden, so most people don't know about them or can't be bothered to create them.

At first I thought Circles will fail like lists because it's too much work. But after playing with it for a few seconds, I realised Circles is going to be a huge win. Why? Because it's too much work and people LOVE wasting time on the internet. And it's fun dragging and dropping people into circles.

Whether you're a techie or not, you already know how to use Google+. Even if you want to avoid it, you won't be able to for long because it's going to be everywhere you go from now on.

Excuse the awful pun, but this thing's a vicious Circle.
A lot of traffic is fairly symmetric: chat, email, dropbox with two clients.

EMR jobs can also have much more inbound traffic than outbound.
The problem here is that your reply is also demagoguery: no amount of taxes would be too much. No matter what the tax rate was, you could ask if folks like living in a modern society.

Very, very rarely do I find people who want no government or crippling taxes. The question, as you point out, becomes "how much is too much?"

So can we please stop describing other people's opinions in extreme ways? (I mean that for both sides)

I'm in favor of allocating a certain percentage of GDP to various governments. Say 15% to national, 5% to state, and 2% to local governments. Let the governments themselves decide how to collect it.

This does two things: it gives a real number instead of a bunch of arm-waving, and it puts government on a budget. Historical records show us that you're not getting much more than 20% out of a population anyway (and that's forgetting the Laffer curve)

You can always argue for more or less government and taxes. Both positions are perfectly fine. What's not fine is making this out to be socialism versus anarchy. It's really much more a conversation about finding compromise and being able to spend as much as you tax, instead of having politicians vote for programs nobody can afford and then pointing their fingers at the other guy when the bill comes due.

As for your question about living in a modern society, I'd argue we're paying about 20x more than we need to for these services, mainly because there's no choice involved. As governments continue to clamp down with taxes and more "help", there will be less and less choice, thereby making the multiplier even higher.

There's nothing wrong with believing that yes, we need these things, but no, this is not the way to have them. Doing the wrong thing with good intentions and a good goal is still the wrong thing. :)

Opting-out of Google Plus
I find I miss the simplicity of Facebook to a degree. With plus, it's not really clear who I'm sharing what with at any given time, or what the relationships I've set up are. Facebook has one kind of relationship (1-1) and one kind of sharing (to your friends or to everybody, depending on how your security settings are configured).

It's also missing a number of essential (at least for college students) facebook features, like events and richer profiles.

I'm playing with it for now, but I don't think I can manage two social networks and since nearly all of my friends are on Facebook it's not hard to choose one. Maybe some day that will change, but network effects augur otherwise.

Edit: I should note that hangouts are seriously cool, and they might be reason enough for people to start using it.
I think you need another option: Don't like it, don't need it, but will end up using it

I think the ideas are pretty lame and have been implemented or at least been thought of by others a thousand times. Or they are just small deviations from their originals. No REAL innovation here.

Still I wish you guys luck. The online store thing seems most interesting to me.
I am pretty sure the payment made to Associates Program is classified by Amazon as "advertising fee". I'm not sure how it would hold up against any accounting audits by IRS, for example. Amazon do send 1099-MISC to Associates Program member.

And, as the others state, if it's not robots.txt denied then why not add it to the public index?

Create Website look alike
Facebook didn't really create anything new when it launched, it was simply less annoying and more grown up than myspace. I'm already a heavy user of the Google stack (gmail, docs, maps, translate), so if G+ offers me a way to better integrate that while getting away from facebook's annoying immaturity, I can see myself as a regular user. What facebook does have right now is a reason to check it multiple times a day. G+ will get that if a lot of my friends start using it, but it doesn't appear to have that draw yet.
The uk is a crowded island and anything we can do to reduce the number of lorries (trucks) on our roads would be good. An example is, why do potatoes from Cornwall get sold in Yorkshire and vice versa since both areas could be self-sufficient in potatoes? Why are we wasting fuel, vehicles, truck drivers time (and their whole lives really) shifting potatoes around depending on the market price? A more extreme example is that New Zealand apples and lamb are sold in the UK, both of which are readily available from this country, not only at different times of year. I've even seen "Organic" New Zealand apples in Sainsburys. Well they might be organically grown but certainly not organically produced overall if they're shipped halfway around the globe. Another bugbear I have is, here in the East Midlands we have freight planes landing and taking off at night. Some people aren't getting a decent night's sleep so that others can get Mange Tout and sugar snap peas from Ghana or wherever. So in summary if you want the planet to be a nicer less stressful place with less lorries and planes, try to buy local!

I find it somewhat scary by the amount of people that don't know how to express their feelings. "Dumb whore" - how does this relate to the video? The review is spot on and one of the few that focus on the weaknesses of the TouchPad instead of glorifying it's potential. HP (like Microsoft with Windows Phone) has a lot of catching up to do.
I don't care about it. Facebook is fine for my family to talk to me and see pictures. I don't use anything else on it.

Why a JavaScript hater thinks everyone needs to learn JavaScript.
I think the circles thing is a bit stressful. Making me sort my friends out is "making me think" and not fun.
The way Android syncs contacts with services like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Skype etc is quite interesting. The contact data isn't actually added to your phones existing contacts. It is kept seperate, but when you go to view contacts, it takes each of the contact "sources" and displays a view of them as if they have been merged. It does the "merging" based on the name of the contact.
Loved the hangout feature. Really!

i wish someone had explained this to me about 15 years ago. i had sought, and settled on the unsatisfying explanation that it is a conventional notation with useful ways to do coordinate geometry. non essential, but a way of doing it. though i have looked at euler's identity with awe, it's mostly been a mystical sort of awe.

I hate to admit it but i had started using a line of argument to certain theist friends, that if god helps you, as a concept, no need to be bothered, think no more of it than a concept such as the the mathematical concept of i, its a number that does not exist but has real consequences. now I feel stupid for doubting the existence of i.

I keep trying to relearn my fundamentals, and this article does that beautifully. i would otherwise have died a disbeliever.

Some of those "red flags" on the check list are so incredibly grave, just two or maybe just one alone should be more than enough to set off the "psycho alarm". (cruelty towards animals and kids and bragging about it? Come on?)

> Still, people loved her

The more interesting point here would be: who and WHY??? Analyze how she did that. From what we learned about her before, almost everyone should have hated her guts.

> After she killed my professional advancement in that company

And it would be interesting how she did that and why the author could not counter it, obviously, AT ALL. He should learn from that experience and share it.

It is great and a first step being able to identify those psycho predators but even more satisfying would be ultimately turning their own torpedoes against them - this is all about politics and certain soft skills, typically things that the average hacker despises with a passion.

Also, when they attack you directly, it does not always pay off to become defensive and explain yourself in detail; instead give just as outrageous and short a reply or do not even acknowledge how they attacked you and instead as a "reply" shift focus onto other/important matters.

> Instead use it to know if you need to put special guard up

Instead of just raising shields and becoming defensive, you absolutely need to make friends and allies long before that, preferably but not only in high(er) positions. Those psychos know who they can fuck with, who is an easy target. Make yourself a very difficult target because you are well connected and people love you.

In fact, I can argue that any time we wait on a computer program to do something useful, we are in fact waiting on a loop

Plenty of things are bound by I/O. You might have to wait for a disk to spin up, or a packet to get to the other side of the world and back. Indeed, the CPU will, at some level, ultimately be running in a loop, but it's not a loop in order to get anything done, it's just blocking.

I'm saying that Sal violated basic programming practice in one of the simplest 10 line programs that can be written. This is a canary.

I didn't think that the video (now dead) was particularly good, but I think that this is a bit of an overreaction. LPTHW doesn't seem to use PyDoc comments either. Would I be upset if he used C# and put a // comment at the top of a method, instead of a /// comment? Probably. Would I regard it as evidence that he wouldn't be able to teach programming? No.

He's not simplifying things by putting the filename at the top of the file: he's just wrong

Maybe this is a Python thing, but there's a semi-official, but fairly popular tool from Microsoft called StyleCop that forces C# code to have a comment with the filename at the top. Bottom line: putting a filename at the top is not regarded universally as a bad practice, even among professional programmers.
