I know you can change spaces through shortcuts, my problem was I could not e.g.:

Be using chrome in space 1, hit a shortcut and move to space 2 while at the same time moving my chrome window over to space 2.

This took 2 minutes to set up on Ubuntu and I used it constantly.

I'd say that the URL for Apple iPod is:

Really, I see people going to their GMail by typing "gmail" in Google. And ask 100 strangers on the street how important the tidyness of the text in their browser's address bar is to them.
Is this not just for mobiles? I'm looking at London in Firefox and just see vanilla Google maps. I Google for "Google maps 3D buildings" all that comes up is Google maps 3d buildings launched in Paris and London and additionally some other large European cities...
From skimming it, it seems to be a shared file without need of a browser. It's like viewing an interactive PDF/Flash in a [CDF] player.
That's exactly what I was missing!

Pretty awkward to have to first drag the window you want to take along a bit though. I'd much prefer if I could do something like cmd + ctrl + arrow to mean "move the currently active window to the next space"
I'm going a bit bonkers working from home, to tell the truth. The biggest problem is the fuzzy line between work and home.
I use Terminal, Emacs, Firefox, etc., pretty much the standard setup.

The programming environment is the only bundle of apps that need to be specifically arranged for me. They pretty much always sit positioned where I want them, and I bring up other apps when I want to do other stuff, and hide them when I want to get back to programming. I never really hide my coding apps; I just bring other apps on top and hide them.

It's nice too to always know that Cmd-F1 will bring up Firefox, no matter what is going on.

But this is definitely a user preference thing, and specific to how I like working.
Yup... and unfortunately for Sony, the top hit for "sony walkman" is Wikipedia. If their URLs didn't completely suck maybe they would have better luck with their SEO.
this seems to be not true for the whole country.., if you're from India, please post if you're having those issues or not!

Interesting, I got the notice and quit iTunes same as you - I stared at the notice for a bit thinking "hmm, I did quit iTunes..." But then I got distracted doing something else and a couple minutes later I heard the ding that something finished installing (Xcode). So, for anyone else reading this, try just going to make a sandwich :)
Hi Chuck! I saw that horrible slogan, and came here to flinch. We were both at Sun during that time. Remember the TV commercial? Whoosh!

When Sun Microsystems fell apart into SunSoft / Sun Labs / etc, Scooter called an all-hands meeting and told everyone to "stop hugging your tree". After the meeting, I complained to my manager (rxb) that I was never issued a tree. I just wanted my tree, like everybody else had. I promised not to hug it.

I think it's Wikipedia because "walkman" has a much longer history as a brand name, from cassette players to cell phones.

I remember times where back where I lived "walkman" was a plain noun meaning "any kind of portable cassette player".
You can still get the newest Xcode from developer.apple.com as usual, no? Or continue using your current one? You have all the time you need :)

"an awful lot of object-oriented C programs in the world"

IMO, the good parts of object-oriented programming was applying the constraints of mulithreaded messaging passing to the single threaded world. Really clean multithreaded code tends to be extremely decoupled and treat each message is something to be decoded not blindly followed. Yet somehow that fell to the point where using lots of getter/setter are considered acceptable.

PS: That could actually be a good metric how many objects do you use that don't have a single getter or setter.
If you change spaces with the keyboard shortcut while dragging a window, it will come to the new space with you.
Sure, it says "publicly available, openly documented", but I can't actually find a file-format spec anywhere.

Given that CDF files seem to be able to do most things Mathematica can do, I'm guessing that might mean "publically available to anyone who pays us for a Mathematica SDK licence".
Sort of same phenomenon actually happens in the ocean if I remember correctly.

When I was taking my diver's license some years back we were told that temperature differences in different water flows might also cause a visible layer between the two such flows.

The underwater world is amazing.
Alpha-beta pruning sounds like a reasonable route forward. In this case, each "well" is a state in the game and placing a new piece in the well constitutes a move to a new state. Since the "heuristic value" of a move is absolute (player wins or AI wins), I already have stuff in place to exit early from an exhaustive evaluation of all possible landing points if a definitive answer is found. But I don't have anything in place to put those landing points into an optimal order for evaluation purposes. A Tetris-playing AI which can quantify the "goodness" of a move would be useful here, and that's entirely possible.

Intelligent caching is possible but I think it would be difficult for me to implement and I'm not certain that it would yield much benefit.

Actually, the procedure for identifying all the possible player moves is very fast already and I think making it prioritise "easier" moves would slow it down. In particular, ruling out or de-prioritising simple things like "tucking" a piece under another is very counterproductive.

Yes, but in practice it frequently happens that you refer to records in various different places. Either client-side in API-using software, or in a completely separate database, etc. In such cases, "Update all references in the world" will be entirely impractical and bug-prone.

Show HN: My MVP for curated freelance listings, Contractden
Hey guys,

I've finished up an MVP of an idea I had for curated freelance listings - hopefully saving a lot of time trawling job sites for work. It's currently at http://contractden.com

Basically what it does is present a cleaner, filtered list of jobs (currently only elance, odesk and freelanceswitch - would love to add more sources if you know any feeds) that I've picked according to a bit of criteria:

No full time
Short durations (max 1-2months)
Adequate pricing (bit subjective I'll admit, generally aiming towards the $1k mark if I can)
Focus on English quality and jobs that are available worldwide

If you want to have a quick look there's a demo account (demo@contractden.com, demo - click Sign in or go to /login/) so you can check it out.

As I said it's pretty simple (made sure to focus on release (:D) rather than get bogged down in feature-creep) but I'm testing the waters to see if it's a good idea or not. I'll be adding jobs as much as possible over the next few days. In the future I'll probably be after some sponsored links to bypass elance/odesk (email me if interested).

All feedback is appreciated, either here or at feedback@domain. Thanks!

I read the article with the same skepticism, but it's worth noting the researchers named: Charlie Miller and Dino Dai Zovi. They have never been afraid of criticizing or pwning Apple (IIRC, Miller won pwn2own twice).

MTNL users report blocking, but only if they use the full web address of a site – omitting www unblocks the site in question.

Not having to keep a seat occupied in the office 5 days a week 8 hours a day also makes me happy.

Also, I suppose people that work from home are satisfied with their job exactly because the job allows working from home. It's not that common yet, so if you want it and find a job that allows it, it's double fun.

I worked from home for years until our first child came along. Now I've started renting office space and I am happy to have a natural separation between work and home. When I switch the computer off and go home, I switch off and relax.

I now realise that this separation is important for your long term health and relationships.
Only for now though, I fear that over time they will improve, like a virus evolving.
Then again lets see if an announcement comes out. It may just be the ISPs screwing up, or a whole host of other problems.

I hope its not the Govt though.
"Seriously, people are starting NEW projects with Java"

Yes, hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people do. The vast majority of business applications are written in Java, and huge new projects are started with it each day.

"as the language of choice?"

That is a point that is completely disjoint from the first part of the statement. Only a very small percentage of all developers gets to choose what languages they work with.
The crew are doing final checks and making it "safe" - and the ground grew do remote external checks for leaks etc. (there are a few toxic bits and pieces they don't want to walk into if they are leaking :)).
A pain in the ass, mostly. It's comprable to being a good-looking bartender at a high-priced club. Sure, the customers will be there because after all it's drugs you're selling, but then the place will fall out with the in crowd, your looks will fade and you'll slip up trying to maintain the lifestyle you've accustomed yourself to during the good times and end up broke without any marketable skills. It's a young person's business with a very finite timeline, just like any business that deals in vice.

Having worked many jobs from an office, both cubes and private offices, and now working from home, I can say I LOVE working from home. I get interaction like I did before, phone, IM, email, etc. We have meetups all the time, and I still go out to lunch with folks so I can be around others once in a while.

I'm more productive, I'm happier, and I really think it shows in my work.

Of all the job changes I've had, this has been by far the most pleasant change.
Hrmm. Sounds like the misguided Shuttle program is like a lot of popular web technologies and protocols (better alternatives out there, people doing busy work for years on end, concern of security, etc.).

this was exactly my experience as well. another big factor was the im/email only communication 99% of the time started making my coworkers feel like anonymous web people. kind of surreal. I lasted about a year and a half before I ended up going back to an office gig.
I have gone full circle. At first I loved the idea of working from the house. Years later, I love the office. The best mix is a combination of freedom of being able to pick your hours and working from home but still having that work place to go to.
If it used Git underneath I'd willing to try, otherwise it would be procrastination right now.
I don't know, my reasons for working remotely have never had anything to do with family. Even now that I've got the wife & kid, they're not the reason I'm remote.

To put it bluntly, nobody has an office at the beach. Certainly not the beach in the tropics where I want to be. If there was a Google campus on a remote reef pass in the Mentawais, I might consider taking a seat in a cubicle. But there's not.

We're living in the future, where laptops weigh two pounds and good wifi is everywhere. That means my office can be anywhere I want it to be. As it turns out, I don't want it to be in an office park in the suburbs. Fortunately, it's 2011, so that's not an issue.

Tech writers need to do one of two things:

1. Stop pontificating about the details of a service when it's in a very early adoption phase

or, since they can't stop pontificating about the newest thing to come out:

2. label their articles as info "For Early Adopters" or "For Normals". In big, bold letters.

That will save them a lot of embarrassment.

Poor wording on my part. I meant anti music industry groups, (all of the RIAA haters, torrent websites, etc.). I count myself among them, although my reasons are a little different.

There were tons of stories about companies (especially TV studios, I believe) where the PR/Marketing team would post stuff to YouTube, and then Legal would file DMCAs to take it down. I believe that was even a part of the lawsuit against YouTube. So, the idea that something similar happened here isn't ridiculous, especially if Skepta thought he had rights to the music he signed away that he did not in fact have.

WordPress User Roles – A Quick Guide
My first thought exactly. HTML is the document format of the future. It seems almost everything can read HTML these days. Here we have an excellent, feature packed, well tested, well documented format that appears to offer everything CDF offers and more. All we need now are applications geared towards delivering the right tools to perform the necessary task.

One of my side projects is a HTML word processor, and every time I look at a common Word processor feature, HTML offers a ton of free and easy to implement ways to make that feature better.

The true URL story is http://ipod.com vs. http://walkman.com
Well, in a way the same thing is true with "iPod" now: It's used to refer to "any kind of MP3 player". But search for "ipod" on Google, and the Wikipedia page telling you all about the history of the iPod is not the first result, it's a page where you can actually buy one. Several pages, actually.

1- Explaining how it can make profit. well making profit is top priority of every company, but at least explaining that a lot is not really feeling good to us tho :)

2- Reporting progress of something you work on.

3- Confidential data. If you're gonna work/found startup, you probably should forget this and be openminded. I saw some who really don't want to talk about (even) brief blurb of idea.
Roughly (and this varies by company) they define/design the functionality of a product, subset of a product of just one feature of a product, keeping in mind the customer/market needs, the symbiosis with the rest of the application and the technical/engineering implications. Furthermore they drive the implementation - either make or delegate implementation schedule, development, testing, deployment, and work with marketing/sales on how to present it to the public (or how to position it within the product).

I have the idea that product managers are often what I the other day heard being called 'intrapreneurs' - people with an internal motivation to create (like entrepreneurs) but who like the things that a larger organization can provide them and that they wouldn't have if they were on their own (secretaries, proper testing team, specialized roles for various tasks etc.).
Correct you are sir. Jack Dorsey can swiftly steer two companies with billion dollar + valuations as easy as I tie my shoes in the morning (trick there is that I wear sandals or sneakers that are ALWAYS tied so I actually don't have to tie them in the morning).

What's the point you say good man? I tell you now, Dorsey is like Val Kilmer in Top Gun - "that's how he flies, no mistakes." Dorsey just wears us all down and grinds our resistance to a nub with whatever he touches. He is so exacting and precise that what he does now will be seen but not completely understood for years - the world is his canvas.

I only pray he use his powers for good and resist the darker side of his heart - for if he didn't we may all continue to fill little synthetic leather contraptions with green papers, receipts and faceless business cards for years to come.
