Because women should be hired for their skills. Not because they provide a good 'mix' to compliment the men on a team. To think otherwise is patronising, condescending; and as a result, sexist.

Edit: I'm genuinely shocked by the number of comments that contain a latent sexist pretext. Maybe I've been brought up in an overly liberal environment, but I find it pretty horrendous nevertheless.
I hear this claim quite often, but I have yet to see it documented. I'm not saying you are wrong, just asking if you have some link to a study supporting this argument or anything similar.
I know that at prices this low a huge markup may still not be a huge price to pay to save time, but the markup really is pretty big.

1 day = 940% markup ($4.52 more)
1 week = 197% markup ($6.64 more)
1 month = 73% ($10.60 more)

But... as said, while the % looks big, if it saved me hassle then who cares about a few bucks. I guess my issue is that the page doesn't sell me on that being the case, so it seems like just getting EC2 service (possibly with less access) and for a higher price.
> OK, just going to answer a few points, to try to wrap this up. :)

And for the wrap up wrap up ;P

> I write a lot of the core "engine" in C++ for speed and lack of garbage creation.

Most definitely. That was all I was getting at is that the core engine should be as fast as possible.

What game on Android Market BTW? Would be glad to check it out and support yah! :)

> Geting UI right is really, really hard... But if I want a list dialog, or a grid view...

Indeed.. UI is hard though I'd say list dialogs and grid view is still GL possible without too much difficulty given various tool kits. Yes a WebKit view is difficult to pull off cross-platform presently. There are options like Awesomium though I've yet to see it used on a mobile platform, however I'm sure something will come up soon.

Yes.. a keyboard entry field depending w/ a GL UI in conjunction with say popping up the default native UI keyboard for touch only devices is something that would need to be fine tuned.

I plan to tackle general GL UI matters at a future point to offer a nicely integrated set of optional components. You are right though it's generally difficult.

For aspects in TyphonRT that require local / native peers the main application container is loaded declaratively with a cross-platform interface component backed by the proper native implementation, so from the devs perspective they can just request the common interface and the platform specific aspects are active behind the scene.

>... most platforms I write for don't already have a guaranteed JVM

Yes, for a desktop release it might be pertinent to distribute a private stripped down JVM. For mobile.. Well.. It's not easily feasible or likely allowed if I recall in the TOS to have a JVM on the iPhone. Cross-compilation is the likely way to go if / when TyphonRT supports iOS.

>How much overhead does Scala add to an app on Android?

Yeah you got me there.. ;) If one uses the Scala standard library that jar file is ~8MB. Whether that can be split up and paired down I'm not sure yet. I'm close to starting on Scala integration (mind you this is optional w/ TyphonRT).

There are also platform aspects of TyphonRT that will reduce overhead for multiple apps installed, but this gets into a bit more conversation here than necessary; essentially though side-loading shared components installed by other apps thus minimizing each app requiring a large download.

So yeah, some work and experimentation ahead. I'll definitely be working on a minimum profile (if possible) for Scala integration.

That's the first iteration of the explanation.

Next iteration: But what if you want to count up non-fiction and fiction? There's just a slightly different "reduce" step, because people have to add up both of them. You could also break it down by subject, or author, or pretty much anything else.

Next iteration: Of course, you don't have to just add. You can do anything that has mathematical properties similar to addition (my mom teaches math at high-school). You could add up the set of all the offense words found, since addition and set addition have similar mathematical properties. You couldn't take the average number of pages, because some people will find more books than others, and you wouldn't get a fair average. But you might be able to keep track of a couple of attributes that can be summed up, and use that to calculate the average after the job is done (for example, total number of pages, and total number of books).

> the female's femaleness is something that needs to be considered and may create problems.

This is the most effective way possible to make someone feel alienated. Tell them their presence is problematic, that it's "not them, but us" and therefore there is nothing they can do about it.

You want to know the dirty secret behind the claim that female programmers make men uncomfortable? It's synthetic. It only exists because you think it exists, like some bizarre fiat currency. The moment you (all of you) stop caring, this concern goes away and you can do more productive things like write code.

edit: whoops, didn't catch this one:

> gender relationships are part of personal relationships

You are professionals. Professional computer programmers. Professionals know how to handle these kinds of things, and this is really just a case-by-case deal. Making some blanket claim that "because there is a woman on the team, there will be fights over who gets to date her" is placing some pretty weak expectations on your team. I expect my team to be professional to everyone in it. If someone can't handle that kind of situation, I may not have a place for them on my team.

Bottom line, it's easier to get a work visa anywhere when someone already wants to hire you there. It's easier to find a job when you're physically able to attend interviews and networking events. It's also better to spend extensive time determining whether this is something you really want to do before putting forth all the effort for a work visa. You can't actually WORK on a tourist visa, but you can certainly broaden your UK-based horizons in the 6 months they'll give you.

Good luck!

Webapps have to be easy to use and pleasing to the eye. By not having these features as part of your homepage, it sends a bad signal to prospective buyers.

Your website is the most important advertisement of your company's abilities. Its very important that you fix it.
Which is a real shame, because then we can't have an open and honest conversation about it without fear of litigation.

Of course, there isn't a lack of countries where maternity leave isn't long, so I can always set up shop there and make the choice I want with respect to maternity leave benefits..
Getting a UK work visa is ridiculously hard these days. The economic downturn created a anti-immigration sentiment and the government changed their visa programs such that only 25000(if memory serves me right) a year can enter the UK for work.

Your workable options are:

1)Find a job at a corporate who still has unused quota

2)Find a job in a US company and than get transferred to a UK branch. This isn't constrained by the quota

3)Marry an EU citizen

I hate to be bearer of bad news but this is the current situation.

Wait a minute. You said the defendant had to put up half a million dollars? And the district court awarded the defendant $489,150.48? Half a million is $500,000. Unless I've picked out the wrong numbers, the award looks pretty close to the costs.

Can you clarify?

Here's a library in JavaSCript that does this. https://github.com/kriszyp/promised-io

The differences between your example and the common JavaScript practice for promises (when they're used; most of the time they aren't) are that then is used instead of addCallback and that chaining is available and taken advantage of.
I see no evidence that those 1000 signups can be attributed to your pretty design. In fact, I dare say you held the belief that design was important long before the product release, which is why you invested your time in it. Perhaps it was the particular domain or the viral marketing.

Conclusions without evidence is just conjecture and supposition.
When you write an async. server in C++, where you can't inline functions, you write functions like OnRead(), OnWrite(), etc. Once you get used to it the whole thing ends up fairly easy to read and understand. Eg.

One of the best books on programming I’ve ever read, and sadly I didn’t read it until recently.
This piece is ridiculous. An investor who owns $1.7 billion in Facebook stock is downplaying the idea of a bubble before he has the chance to sell any of it. Shocking. I was rather hoping he'd decide to shave millions-to-hundreds-of-millions of dollars from his net worth by popping the bubble publicly in the Wall Street Journal.

And his reasoning is impeccable; we're not in a bubble because there are no crazy launch parties. Clearly, that's how investors value assets. But last I checked there was a recent bubble in real estate, but I didn't see many crazy launch parties there. So now I'm quite confused.

She essentially says that a startup that implements a recruitment process that taps a very large number of potential recruits in search of the best candidates, and that effectively evaluates candidates based on their actual qualifications for the job, will also inevitably recruit a more diverse range of people. And wouldn't those same factors inevitably lead to recruiting better people? So, at a statistically meaningful scale, there's going to be at least some correlation.

You appear to have made a domain name mistake; "transparentit". The site looks fine.
I assumed that the award for costs ($489,150.48) is at least what the defendant's actual costs actually were. Was this a mistake?
I hope so. All of the Kenyans I've met (all in the west, I admit) have been very upbeat individuals with excellent command of English (and they say this is reasonably standard in Kenya) as it's an official language there. Those undersea cables could prove to be life-changers for people with ambition in Nairobi and I'd love to work with them sometime.
No, he's saying that if you have 8 guys in a room (three male founders, then 5 hires who just happened to be male), they will think it's OK to dress like shit, bathe occasionally, put up lewd posters, leave rubbish under their desks, and no-one is likely to complain. OK, the founders could try to set an example, but they won't have any moral authority if most of the team doesn't really care.

If there's at least one women there from the start, you won't get a subtly sexist or just uncouth subculture developing, because people will worry that "the girl" will complain.

Guys are sexist - they often think that women will get annoyed by bad behavior, while other guys should just suck it up. Girls are sexist too.
Linux layer 2 bridging can’t do Firewire
The GP observed that there exists a different dynamic in mixed gender environments then speculated that whether or not a mixed gender environment is beneficial is dependent on the individuals, thus drawing no conclusion about the matter.

That you saw this as a sexist remark advocating for hiring women only reveals your own biases. You misread the comment and what you read between the lines were your own thoughts.
So, if we have a group of people that, are broadly speaking, all the same type and we think adding someone with a different set of characteristics will lead to the group performing better as a whole...we shouldn't do that? We should instead higher the "best" individual regardless of how it impacts the group?

The goal is to get the most productivity from the team/group. Sometimes that means hiring for attitude over aptitude or ...oh yes, diversity - be it race, gender, degree, life experiences, etc.

How the DOJ seizes domain names and where they end up
I love clear, succinct explanations like this. Overly complex ("rigorous") definitions are one reason we often miss the big picture. Kudos.
That's because you're on a witch hunt. You put words in my mouth and then branded me a sexist based on that.

So, here's the thing. I actually consider myself a feminist. I've been outspoken in the past on things like believing that the gender gap in computer science and IT is primarily a consequence of social conditioning and that people should be evaluated and valued within an organization based on their qualifications and not based on their gender.

As such, I'm a bit uneasy with the premise of the article -- that work environments can and should be made more "girl friendly" (insofar as that goes beyond not tolerating overt sexism). But that premise came from the article, not from me. Personally, I'm conflicted there and could argue both sides. But, if we run with that premise, and try to answer the question in the title, I find it an impressive stretch to read sexism into saying, "I find mixed gender work environments more pleasant than single-gender environments."

In the foreword to a book called "In search of stupidity", Joel Spolsky makes the case that the success of Microsoft owes much to the fact that each of their competitors did a lot of stupid shit while M$, mostly, didn't.

The article is a bit dated today, but I think he's still got a point:

http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Stupidity.html

For every other software company that once had market leadership and saw it go down the drain, you can point to one or two giant blunders that steered the boat into an iceberg. Micropro fiddled around rewriting the printer architecture instead of upgrading their flagship product, WordStar. Lotus wasted a year and a half shoehorning 123 to run on 640KB machines; by the time they were done Excel was shipping and 640KB machines were a dim memory.
Cheapest true religion jeans
I think there is a simple equivalent in programming. A lot of programmers I know can rattle of the benefits of 3 or more frameworks. They can program in half a dozen programing languages. But they couldn't tell you the basics.

They couldn't say what the difference between functional and object-oriented programing is. They couldn't tell you what a good name for a variable is (maybe they have somewhat good variable names, but they don't really know why they are good or bad). They couldn't properly define an architecture for a new project.

There are basics in programing that should be known before all the programing languages, frameworks and what not. And I think from time to time everyone should try to learn more about the basics instead of a new language. From time to time think really hard why this variable should be called that. Why we need a new package for that. Why is a method built the way it is.

Softlaunch of buddhalists, not just another todo list app.
Proud to announce the (soft) launch of http://buddhalists.com/, my first foray into paid SaaS web apps. Please read on before tossing this out as “yet another todo list app”.

http://buddhalists.com/
http://buddhalists.com/demo/
http://buddhalists.com/signup/

But first the story. I create web apps I would use, mainly so I can use them. I find myself taking lists for all sorts of things, and wishing I could digitize them somehow. http://buddhalists.com/ is the solution for me. I sampled every list app in the app store (a good $60 worth) and found that they were

1. mostly focused on todo lists

2. either too simple (think one page list) or too complex (think color coded tags with autosort built in)

3. Always limited to either managing one list, or several flat lists. I was hoping for recursion.

This is what http://buddhalists.com/ brings to the table. Simple unconstraining lists with nice design, no rules, and infinite recursion. For more explanation, see the demo. For a more detailed breakdown as to why other list taking solutions were non ideal, see http://pastebin.com/QVynrfkC.

Some of the people who work in Call Centres here in India end up ruining their health due to the time difference between India and the US. They have to work through the night, and gradually develop a variety of disorders. Since a similar time difference exists in the case of Kenya, some call center employees might start facing such health issues.

More jobs are great. But the long terms costs need to be considered. I worry for the youth of Kenya.
oauth would have request replay prevention or there could be some other ways of stopping the count fraud, but app_secret is probably always available in some kind of readable form.

But Fukime cow counter could easily do without those :)

From a design point of view (I'm a designer), I think you went overboard. When I am working I don't want anything getting in the way between me and the list items.

In your analysis of your competitors, for Workflowy you said that it's confusing to have many nested lists (I'm paraphrasing here), but the thing is—I find WorkFlowy way more logical than your service. The nesting is a visual guide for the user, letting them know where they are within the tree.

At first I couldn't figure our how to check items off, but then I noticed the little tiny “x” to the right, dangerously close to the “>>”. Feel free to beef that one up, and space these two out. Also, apparently I can't check off the last item in the list? That's strange, but it might be a bug.

Lastly, I love the help overlay, nice!
