As someone who is currently taking a gap year to travel and work on my startup, a lot of this rings true. Especially the part about speaking other languages rather than English. There are interesting conversations that I just can't participate in because I don't understand what people are saying. However, there are several hacks for this that I've found.

- Don't stay at hotels, use airbnb. The hosts are almost always locals that speak decent English and want to get to know you, so that's enriched my experience tremendously. Disclaimer: I do NOT work for airbnb, but after seeing how it has enriched my travels it's definitely at the top of my list if I ever wanted to apply for a job again.

- Go out of your way to meet other travelers. Usually, travelers like to keep to themselves. But there are districts in any city that are especially frequented by foreigners. Why restrict yourself to locals? Foreigners from a different country who are traveling are just as interesting for cultural exchange as the locals. They usually speak English fairly well and it's not uncommon to be engaged in an English conversation with a German, a Russian, a Chinese, and a French person at a bar. It's quite fascinating.

While it is definitely less expensive to travel than one would think, it still does cost quite a bit if you want to travel to major cities and have a living standard which is at least close to western-standard. Staying with friends and using airbnb instead of hostel/hotel is the best way to keep costs down. After 3 months of traveling (Australia, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and now Spain) I've spent an average of $4300/mo. I'm traveling with my wife so the per person cost is actually less. Could I get by with less by teaching English and staying in one place longer, etc? Yes, but as with everything, there is a tradeoff between time and money.

I like the Native delegation support. The only other language I've seen that favours delegation is Objective-C / Cocoa. What are other examples?
Dataflow architectures and languages for example. Or even vanilla SIMD instructions.

The heart of the issue is that von-Neumann architectures are really not well suited to doing parallel programming: global PC in a single random access read/write memory. Any modification you make to that model to duplicate one module will introduce some heavy concurrency issues for you to deal with. For example multi-threading gives you multiple PC in the same memory space, leading to races, deadlocks, starvation etc.

Compare this to simple SIMD. You do a parallel operation float4 + float4 without any need for concurrency or synchronization.
Why Microsoft Is So Messed Up: Toxic Environment And Bad Managers
Chairman: Google should have gone social earlier
I worked on Staircar so maybe I can answer a couple of questions.

Machine failures: failures we'll likely address in a future post but basically each redis instance can have a slave which can be failed over to.

Performance: Staircar isn't nearly as fast as redis, but the primary project goal was making the redis infrastructure opaque to any clients. The secondary goal was performance, which is still quite good.

Early Optimization: In a large infrastructure (thousands of machines, multiple data centers, etc) you have locality issues, slow clients, machine failures and other operational considerations. Again, redis performance is fine and we weren't concerned with that. We were interested in creating a high performance proxy to a pool of redis instances. Also, with Staircar we can make online changes to the redis pool without needing to notify clients of those changes.
> Asus’s stock browser blows Safari away because it supports Flash.

Why do I feel like the guy didn't even use the thing? Oh right, because I've tested Flash in browser on every Android tablet I could get my hands on and it was extremely unimpressive, every time.

I have nothing against Asus, I loved my EEE PC and the only reason I don't have it anymore is because it was the perfect computer for my younger cousin. I also think the Transformer is one of the more interesting entrants into the Android tablet market. However, this article reads like an ad. Laments about bullet point features, totally skips real world use (the flash example being the best one).

If he had used it extensively, he never would have said "the stock browser is better because it supports Flash" he would have said "the stock browser is better because I can do x, thanks to the Flash-supporting browser".

> the Android widgets personalize the home screen, which is great if you want constant access to your audio controls. Once you wrap your head around the possibilities, the iPad interface will seem plain.

Why do I have to "wrap my head around the possibilities"? Why don't you just tell me some of the amazing and awesome things you did with widgets while you were reviewing the thing? It could be because widgets aren't actually that amazing in practice, and are really just little applets that run all the time. Is it really a deal breaker to have to tap on the Tweetbot icon to view tweets instead of swiping to the side to look at my Twitter widget? I don't think so.
That's just ridiculous logic, you could extend that to "no companies actually have expenses".

I misread the title as "Fake apple stories" and thought "how interesting can that be?"

Very, it turns out. It seemed a shame in cultural terms that saying "We work for Apple in the US and are making an on-site inspection" was enough to convince security to respect them, but actually, if you have the balls to pull it off, I bet that would work anywhere.
Thanks - There is no real reason for that :/

You don't need to limit yourself to freelancing work either. I've done odd jobs that got me enough money for another week of travel with a few days works. One was laying concrete in a 3rd world country after drinking with a local farmer. It is very easy to get by if you have a varied skillset. Learn how to weld and you will never go hungry anywhere (until they invent cheap, intelligent welding robots).

I've been working abroad for over a year now. Make it happen and go where you want. Kids are easy to travel with in most countries too.
What the world needs now is NOT another open source license. I'd rather never touch another line of software again that had a custom license.

All that does it make it difficult to interoperate with other packages, and Make it difficult to build my project, because I need to worry about 15 types of overlap.

It's 5AM and I haven't slept yet but here's the 3 second version of how licenses work-

GPL- You post your code. If I release changes, I need to post my code too.

aGPL- Same as GPL, but applies to web services.

LGPL- You post your code. If I change YOUR CODE, I need to release THOSE changes, but not my whole app.

MPL- Like the LGPL, but incompatible. Adds a line saying that people who use your code need to license the Patents, not just the code. The FSF says this is implied in the LGPL, but MPL makes it explicit.

BSD/MIT - Feel free to use the code. You don't have to contribute back.

Apache- Like BSD, but contributors must agree to license any patents.

WTFPL- Do whatever the fuck you want.

Just pick the one you like.
It sounds like you want LGPL or MPL. LGPL is the more often used of the two.

Even Firefox (The M in MPL stands for Mozilla...) now offers it's code under the LGPL in addition to the MPL, so there's little incentive to put new code under MPL-only.

Being a active participant of 'Karate' I would also like to add some points
1. Confidence: Karate or any form of martial art bestows you with confidence, not just optimism that you can achieve what you desire and work towards it, but also the zeal and belief within oneself to achieve your goal.
2. Patience is a virtue, you need it when you are writing huge lengths of code and you need it utmost when you are in a ring waiting for the opponent to strike so that you can counterattack.
3. Resilience : Be it any app developer, businessman or any profession, you learn resilience from martial art which you can use anywhere you go or in anything you do.
OK, then, I'll go with PHP sigh.
Reptile live food
Are you looking for reptile live food like crickets, meal worms, grubs, files and wax worms or for reptile accessories like housing, lightening and heating elements, health supplements, etc.? There are few reptile supply stores in UK which provides all these online with best quality and fast delivery.
It might do that, but it won't make very much difference. Who brings down sites: a couple of people with LOIC or hundreds of people with LOIC and a handful with actual substantial botnets under their control.

There's a loosely-organized project at Wikimedia Commons to liberate at least the public-domain works locked up in JSTOR. This almost certainly violates JSTOR access policies, but once downloaded and stripped of their JSTOR title page, it's probably not illegal for the Wikimedia Foundation to host the result, since the result is in the public domain, even if ToS were violated in the document's acquisition.

One of the summary findings of the indictment does seem to suggest that quantity was a factor:
"[The] defendant, AARON SWARTZ, knowingly and with intent to defraud, accessed a protected computer... in excess of authorized access, and by means of such conduct furthered the intended fraud".

JSTOR's salary rate is really the least of my concerns (though wasteful bureaucracy in the non-profit industry does concern me in general and tangentially relates to this story). My concern is over the US federal government pursuing felony charges when a researcher violated a website's terms of service statement. I'm sorry you received any other impression.
"...you'll be hard pressed to find a Brit... who didn't take a Gap Year at some point."

Not true. Sure, it's common enough for young people to take a gap year before or after university, but not everyone does - I certainly didn't. Among those who don't go to university, taking a gap year would be the exception rather than the rule.
Basiscally, his problem is that he does not want to 'open source' his code without keeping the exclusive rights to cash in on it.
There is such a license: Creative Commons, non-commercial.

But I see a deeper problem: why should he "open source" it then (in contrast to just providing the source)? The problem is: how does he handle contributions? They would all have to waive their commercial rights on the software _to the author_. I see this as fundamentally non-open. It may be honest, but not open-source.
I wouldn't say it's full of UI weirdness, but as you nicely pointed out in 2 last points, Circles view is particularly odd and it's really cumbersome to read particular Circle.

Other oddities: I can't share anything without creating a Circle first, which is really cumbersome for photo sharing.

Actually the proposed license model doesn't waive any author's commercial rights whatsoever. Every author would still have the right to do with his code whatever he/she likes.
However, there is restriction about the process of creating a profit derived from the software. At that point, it is about to give a "fair share", which is another problem domain still unsolved.

They all care about the business of sharing code and not the business of making money. This more of a general problem or merely lack of alternatives, is what the blog post is all about.
Click.to Pipes Text and Images From Your Clipboard into Nearly Any App
But even in dataflow architectures (for example, the float4+float4 example) there are places where you want the different paths to meet. That's where synchronization (a barrier) is needed, as both results need to be available before the operation can be stared.

Of course in the case of SIMD this nicely happens internally in the hardware so nothing can go wrong, but in more complicated cases, for example if you're programming CUDA you need to care about it sometimes.

I agree that an alternative hardware architecture could probably solve this, but that is taking it a bit far and doesn't help solving any immediate problems.

There is no form of protest that does not affect other people and lost revenue is not damage. Your comment reads very mobbish.

You are free to disagree with the opinion of the DDoSers that PayPal punished Wikileaks because of close ties with a vindictive government and therefore deserved a tangible reaction, but you can't go arguing that people should only disagree with you to the extent that you are able to ignore them.
Annoying Americanisms.
Since dereferencing a null pointer and dividing by 0 are undefined by C, is the compiler required to emit the code for them? In practice, does it?
First reading, I thought it was a joke.

Now I'm just worried.
The analogy fails because using XML is, often, a choice. You can't get around JavaScript if you want to make a decent web app. The platform dictates it.

I understand what you're saying, but I promise that the creation of another open source license isn't the solution.

It WILL Strictly limit usage of your code, to the point that open sourcing it won't make much of a difference. You won't get the goodwill, you won't get the patches, it's just a bad idea. It makes it difficult for everyone else, and doesn't help you.

If you want something that forces people to contribute back, I'd suggest a dual-license, like you point out MySQL does with GPL/Proprietary. That way if they go GPL, they'll contribute back code, if they go Proprietary, they'll give you money. Either way, you win.
unexpected/non-linear bottlenecks, intermittent failures, cascading failures

There is an architectural invariant which avoids these, which is that you don't build systems which can't tolerate the sudden loss of the machine they are running on.

Actually that is not the invariant you were looking for.

I was pointing specifically at issues that have little to do with machine failure but are frequent root-causes for system failure.
This is why most of my recent stuff is MIT-licensed. This way I basically tell people that they're free to do whatever they want with my code, as long as they don't expect a warranty.
Not a downvoter, but the way governments are reacting to those demanding transparency is what I call draconian. This is no longer symmetric opposition, this is a way of terrorizing those who want a little more freedom. Faced with obstacles as the one Aaron faced, I would do the same. So sue me.

Disobedience is not the same as terrorism although they would like you to think so. Disproportionate punishments are what I term a terrorist act. Stop being such a conformist and stop using their language. Every time you test these boundaries and fight for it you will be fighting for your freedoms.

Yes the hardware requirements are ridiculous and the business model even more so. There would be tricks to lessen the load, reverse proxies so that when a question is answered it doesn't have to be re-answered until the question requires a re-evaluation. Redevelop IBM's Watson to run on armies of cloud servers and computers. Make the service free, every human gets a key and can consume X minutes of Watson a day. Have a high-priced "premium service" where you can buy more of Watson's time and get real time re-evaluations to questions.

Yes it would be a more massive undertaking than Larry and Sergey took for google, maxing out their credit cards on hardware. But you would get your name written in the sands of time as mass deploying the first army of semi sentient machines to service the masses. This project brings us a step closer to a type II civilization.

Many have applied aikido principles to their startups. When the original idea isn't being accepted by the target audience, one should pivot. This is identical to doing a tenkan in aikido. Also, knowing when to enter a market is the iriminage of the startup world.

After working months on some code, it often feels painful similar to how nikkyo and sankyo are painful. Pair programming is like uke and nage squaring off, one attacking new features while the other defends against bugs.

Sometimes you feel like you're on your knees and you can't continue, and that's right when your competition decides to attack from their standing position in a wonderful display of business hanmi handachi. When your workers form a union and strike, this is startup atemi.

A large part of aikido is redirecting someone else's strength rather than expending your own energy. Similarly, startup founders are redirecting the VC's wallet rather than expending their own capital. They also leverage Apache's strength to do a 301 redirect to another URL.

Sorry, I've studied aikido and love it but too often I find these aikido comparisons to be trite and lacking substance.
