My favourite is emailing them. Good luck getting a response.

I tried for weeks to get them to sort out a problem that was simple enough that I figured email was the way to get it sorted out in some low priority queue. Finally I called them up and the problem was sorted out in minutes. Why are the people on the phone infinitely more helpful and English-savvy? I don't know but it's a problem.
So, is there any reliable estimate of how much it will cost to implement this kind of records retention?
First, there is not a link for reporting people with fake names. At best, you can report people with "fake profiles" or "impersonation".
Call center profit would probably be too low to make this worthwhile.

$15/hr * 0.1 hours = $1.50. Seems like the complex Craigslisting wouldn't make sense with this little profit at stake per call they manage to finagle.

Couple of comments:

- Awesome, you integrated OpenFeint

- The art is cute, and the game doesn't seem to take itself too seriously

- Picture 11/15 should be the first one, as it is the only time I figured out how your game played (at all)

- Seems really simple and would be boring after 30 minutes or so

Best of luck with the game, hope I am wrong about how boring it is!

Probably because cheap 3D printers just melt plastic and drip it on the right spot.

I think the most sophisticated part of a laser printer is the toner. It has to stick on the drum but also on the paper at the right moment and at the right temperature. And it should stay on the paper for a long time without loosing it's tint.

Maybe they should build an open source laser cutter weak enough to just burn the surface of paper.

I grew up in Maine, and while this may not be surprising, the opt-opt program deals a tough blow to what would have been a major infrastructure upgrade for the state. According to a friend involved with Central Maine Power and the installation opt-out rates are extinguishing a lot of the benefits that federal stimulus dollars are going towards since much of the overhead is paid for up front.

I worry more, however, about what this says about the future of smart grid technologies elsewhere when those ignorant of the science are allowed to have such strong influence in this policy.

There's no good way to reliably limit the range of a wireless signal like this. A sufficiently sensitive receiver will always be able to eavesdrop from a distance far greater than that in the design use-case. If we don't want the signal intercepted, the answer is stronger encryption.

That said, any potential vulnerability here appears to mostly spring from the remote control functionality, more than the remote reporting functionality. Here again, encryption is the answer.

I am not sure what an open-source printer would bring to the table unless it's to remove the yellow tracking dots in color printers which the government would probably immediately outlaw.

"Assembly language, interrupt handlers, race conditions, cache coherence," says Jude Miller, long-time system consultant and industry curmudgeon.

This is what I do every day at my job and there are other people who know how to do this, plenty of them. Most of them are EE's, though, and consider SW/FW development as their secondary job.

It isn't easy to hire embedded programmers, graduates with computer engineering, EE or CS degrees will have some knowledge but it's experience more than anything that will help you acquire these skills. When I look at resumes I look for experience building small circuits, Arduino or PIC. If I don't see anything like that or if the skill list starts with Java, PHP, ... it would be kind of unfair to expect detailed knowledge about how to use "volatile" in C or how to use a scope to find race conditions.
Yes, I am also concerned. I hope they go forward with Microsoft and Opera on board.

Perhaps you could allow feedback on icons?
A number of them don't conjure for me the thing they're supposed to. For example, 'mummy' is definitely not what comes to mind when I see the 'mummy' icon. The icon doesn't really look like anything in particular to me; I find it just gives of a slightly weird vibe. Or the 'golf' icon - the club looks more like a hockey stick to me.
My argument isn't about the article's main content, it's about its attempt to back up its arguments by listing certifications, but failing to do so because the certifications are meaningless.

This is the internet. We tl;dr on little details like these all the time. My assumption is: "if the article's author thinks that these certifications give this person authority about what he's saying, then the author must not know what (s)he's talking about".

Basically, it feels to me like the article says something comparable to "XML sucks because John Johnson, who studied Python programming for five days, said so". How am I a "reverse snob" for pointing that out?

I learnt a lot during my 2-day CSM training. But nothing that makes me more qualified than you or my mom to say something about forgotten software engineering knowledge.
There is an option on facebook to prevent anyone else from tagging you in their photos. Its in you account privacy setting.

Google+ lets you approve all tags.
You make a good point. The way I see it, markets for commodity goods have become more efficient. Due to patents, copyright and such, a lot of modern goods simply can't be traded legally. The producers/distributors of these goods are the new monopolists of our times.

In this new age, design and branding matter more than ever before.
You have to approve being tagged in Google+. Yet another reason why I'd rather see them succeed than Facebook.
On your last sentence: well, dataflow variables plus backtracing are crucial things in Prolog; Mozart/Oz has dataflow vars right away and backtracing can be called on demand.

How exactly would you do this in Closure? I'm a big fan of this platform, but can't see how to easily apply above-mentioned techniques. Dataflow library in clojure-contrib seems to have very narrow scope AFAIR.
There's an option you may not have considered (and I know this is a heretical suggestion on HN):

Get a job at an established company doing this. If your product was independently developed in your spare time and in an area that has other companies in it you're probably the sort of person that other people who have money want to hire. There are developer jobs out there that pay $100k a year. It's likely more than you'll make with your startup and might give you more time with your kid rather than working current job + part-time at night. It might also be less stressful and eliminate concerns about taxes/incorporation, etc. There's a boom on right now for talent with a demonstrated interest. You might want to consider taking advantage of it.
I work a lot in PHP, so it's kind of funny that I find that new developers in PHP are exactly the opposite: most of them don't know how to use IDE debuggers with PHP. Instead they have print statements all through their code and they end up veering away from any form of OO or 'complex' code, as it becomes hard to 'debug' this code when there's a problem.

Don't get me wrong: 'debugging by echo' is useful at times, but I would say that 9 times out of 10, a proper debugger is more valuable. In my case. YMMV. etc.
Woah seriously? Google needs to cool it on the padding and add a little bit more definition/differentiation to the different app areas. This is getting a little bit out of hand; brains need at least a little bit of direction to know where to look.
Michael Feathers is the author of Working Effectively With Legacy Code. This is basically that software projects, as they age, have a tendency to become huge unwieldy monstrosities.

While this gem is kind of a joke, reminding you of older code that was written a long time ago when you knew less about the problem domain than you do now (since you've been working on it for the last year), checking older code for refactoring/rewriting opportunities can make life easier for you in the future or whoever maintains the code after you.

Speaking as someone who inherited a huge untested codebase - debugging those sections that were written early on and work most of the time, but have never been refactored to take advantage of things that were learned later on in the project, is pretty unpleasant.
To expound slightly on burgerbrain's comment, this phrase is universally used to refer to schemes whose security relies critically on the suppression of information about the system. The term simply does not apply to strong encryption with configurable keys.

The term doesn't apply to door locks either, at least not in practice. If I were forever prevented from changing the locks on my house, then yes my security would depend critically on you never knowing about the key. In practice though, I can change the locks at will, and this is an effective remedy against the persistent threat posed by the release of the key.

A good example of security though obsurity is the CSS system used on DVDs, which was designed such that once the key was discovered, the system became forever and irretrievably broken.

Interestingly when I first got a cycle helmet was the first time I banged my head whilst cycling, though it was a direct factor (didn't account for the helmet when ducking under a tree). Seatbelts apparently cause some to take more risks.
>Do you guys see much of a community of tech in Kenya?

There are spaces like the iHub(ihub.co.ke) in Nairobi, and other mobile-dedicated 'labs'. They organise conferences, meetups and barcamps. Not much in other cities/towns(like where i am).We could do better.

>Any preferred development language?
Not really, but you'll get a lot of java,some PHP, less python, even less ruby(just me and some other guy:)).

Get-job-in-nonprofit mentality and an education system that's not really entrepreneur-friendly.

I am not sure why Flickr keeps getting compared to Facebook when talking about number of uploaded photos. I find Flickr user's restraint in what they upload (on top of the fact that uploads are limited unless you pay) really doesn't allow for this comparison to be made.
Your experiences with the martial arts don't coincide with mine at all. To this day I still practice my kata. Like with my code, I may never achieve perfection, but I will never be satisfied with my current level. I used to hate the kata, but then it started to make sense.

Kata, and code kata, is about practicing. So you're ready for battle. You shouldn't be practicing when you're fighting, and you shouldn't be practicing when you are getting paid to deliver a product.

This is true in anything. There are tons of "guitar" players who would rather play by ear, learn a few chords, and start a band. Then there are those musicians that spend the time to learn the boring fundamentals. And they practice those fundamentals over. And when you hear them play, you'll know they are masters. I think that holds true for coding too.

Kata teaches discipline and patience. It's like learning to breath. Practicing the basics in excruciating detail over and over again ensures you don't freeze up under pressure.

+1 for the pragmatic use of Prolog.

One can have Prolog-as-a-service. The SWI-PL implementation has excellent webserver out of the box. We feed the Prolog database from some external sources, do the reasoning and expose results via dead simple JSON API. It Just Works (tm) !!
The whole is sometimes greater/less than the sum of its parts. The goal of a company is to maximize overall productivity, not to assemble a collection of the highest performing individuals. See Miami Heat vs. Dallas Mavericks in 2011 NBA championship.
Note that I said 'relates to a real fight', and in that place did not say 'handle in a real fight'. I agree that a trained karateka will have a significant advantage against an untrained opponent in any sort of fight.

That said, I disagree with the rest of your point. Naihanchi does not in any shape or form prepare one for any sort of fighting, be it on the ground or standing up. Of course when one does kumite 3 times a week, that does train one as a fighter, even if not maximally efficient; but it's far-fetched to say that because the movements of limbs in kumite sort of resemble the movements of limbs in a kata, that the kata adds significantly to the training for kumite-style competition (or 'actual' fighting, for that matter).

I also did not say that I was disappointed in my training. I got a lot out of it actually, and if I had more time I would still be training; but I no longer pretend that I learned effective fighting from it. I see it more as a fast paced yoga, and fun mix of medium-intensity cardio training and flexibility exercises. Which is fine. Also without actually doing it, I wouldn't have been able to draw the conclusions about its place in martial arts that I do now.

Finally, I'm not saying that the theoretical parts can't be fun, just like in the software cases that we started with. I have spend numerous hours toying with non-practical examples or test programs, for aesthetics or a minute performance enhancement or whatever. Similar in karate - I spend many hours in front of a mirror getting my side kicks perfectly level, for merely aesthetic reasons. Many people do - which is why I said the things I said, that the original goal has largely been forgotten. I mean seriously, kata competitions are seen as the 'noble' form of competitive karate, and kumite is just for youngsters with too much testosterone and roughnecks; does that make sense?
I'm much less concerned about vulnerabilities which will allow people to kill me than about vulnerabilities which will enable people to steal my data or money.

There's far more people who want to steal my data or money than who want to kill me, and if somebody does want to kill me and can get within range of me then there's several thousand other ways to do it.

Men in my country at least are just generally more interested in tech. A big population of males who are interested in tech will naturally lead to a heavily weighted male populous of proficient tech people. I don't get why this is sexist it's just fact. I don't see much that needs to be fixed.

If there is discrimination in the hiring process though, yes that needs to be addressed. However that's not the angle the article is taking.

Hiring a woman because you don't have many women in the work place isn't optimal.

Probably economies of scale. Various low power RF chipsets for ISM bands with range in hundreds of feet with simple RF matching circuit are used in many different applications and thus surprisingly cheap. Limiting range of that is going to induce significant additional costs (either you have to modify antenna and it's matching circuit or use completely different silicon).
Most definitely. If the patient's presentation suggests hypoglycemia, it isn't uncommon for a medic to test the glucose level with their machine and administer oral glucose (D50 IV if obtunded) without even getting to a detailed physical that would reveal the implanted pump/monitor. If an amp of D50 failed to raise the blood sugar, then we'd start hunting for other causes like exogenous insulin overdose.
Cool - looks kinda nifty. The priority list approach to task management is something we've done for our software as well. https://mijura.com/

The idea of fixed priority isn't very flexible or realistic anymore. Having a list of tasks to complete in the order you have to complete them really make it easier to focus and prioritise.

"how are you going to randomly select a person, and know their serial ID ? "

You are missing the point, if the entropy is sufficiently low then it is feasible to guess.

Besides, presumably if you want to kill a particular person, you might know a bit about them.

Anyway, with low entropy serial numbers is that potentially it could be feasible to just create a device that runs through all of them in a matter of a couple of minutes or so. For example, you could check google news to get a guestimate of approximately when perhaps a high profile politician had one of these installed. If this is a friend or family member then that step just gets even easier. If part of the serial number is a year/month combo (a common way to do it) and the rest is sequential, then it will be pretty easy to figure out. Are there easier ways? Sure, I imagine so. A hands off wireless approach certainly is appealing though isn't it? Probably worth at least trying before you move on to more hands on techniques.

"it would be a lot faster to do it some other way "

If you are taking the time to plan out a homicide, which is going to be more important: doing it fast. doing it so you don't get caught.

The Craft of Prolog is a beautiful book; it's one of those SICP-style books that doesn't just teach you a programming language, but changes your way of thinking about programming. I am also amused by the sly (and not-so-sly) digs that O'Keefe gets in at, well, everyone else who writes Prolog.

I'm sure it's not a question of qualification or skills - after all most of us aren't running down gazelle's or plowing fields.

The question is whether you see yourself primarily as a male or female or primarily as a developer or designer or engineer. I was just talking about that with my wife, who worked as an engineer in a male-dominated field and she never really thought about her gender. I've worked in mixed teams and feel the same, it's really not an issue for me.

However, when bias and prejudice enters the picture the whole balance can be quickly thrown off, even by a single person. I believe that's why in the US large companies have strict policies against discrimination. Unfortunately, these very policies often have the effect of introducing quota-related problems when teams are not allowed to hire who they really want.

So, we're not there yet, but I think things are moving in the right direction.
