Roughly speaking, if you save the difference between the rent and mortgage price, you should end up with the same upside that a purchase would have netted (although if rent > mortgage, then renting only makes sense for a short term stay).

Roughly speaking you might wind up with the same upside. I consider rent+invest the more risky option even if you do have the discipline to do it, since there are lots of scenarios where you wind up behind.

What does winding up behind mean? It means being 85 years old, retired, and not having enough money to pay the rent. I think it's worth buying a house just to have the peace of mind of knowing you'll have somewhere to live once you're retired.
How to Improve Search Engine Rankings
Every website owner is traffic-hungry. Frankly, driving quality traffic to your website is not that complicated at all. By following these very simple and basic techniques, you will find that results start showing up within just a few days...
The moment we are clear about what keywords and phrases we need to focus on, implementing everything else is a lot easier. To start off, try to identify "target keyphrases" on the basis of the subject, content and audience for your website. Without defining these, great search engine rankings are impossible.
I agree! I also think compilers are ridiculous. You spend much more time tuning their output and learning their arcane options and switches and pragmas than you would need just writing ASM by hand.

How about we've progressed to the state where HTML is the bytecode you don't want to see anyway, and designers can use modern tools to manipulate it? If the generated markup works, cross-browser and cross-platform (I don't know to what extent it does, but let's assume so), then what's the problem?

For many purposes, optimizing the HTML nerd out of the process is a much bigger win than a 20k download (don't forget gzip) is a loss.

I know this is going to get me downvotes, but I think the dogmatic "HTML shall be written by hand!!1" attitude all over this thread is just people clinging to the past.
My understanding is that it is a tool for use with a very niche market: 3D CAD in a budget. I would think that such a use is not in their roadmap.
Maybe I'm a bit out of touch, but, it seems to me that the role of "publisher" in today's world should have changed far more than it has. I would imagine it to very much include digital publishing as well.

I always found it odd that online storefronts (like MS' Xbox Live and Sony's PS Store) still require games have third party publishers.

Removing Acne Scars
[reddit] Interesting entrepreneur story
what have you heard? google apps has been pretty solid for at least the last year.
Maybe Apple doesn't block beta reviews because it incentivizes developers to fix their apps before the release? Most of those problems should be trivial to at least work around with version-dependent logic to minimizes regressions on versions < 5.x.

Bad reviews don't exactly hurt Apple, and it's not like iOS developers are scarce these days, so it might just be Apple having their priorities set straight (users > devs) and not a coding blunder..or maybe it's just me overthinking it.

So I can't state facts about a product I believe in, without disclosing my interests? I am not acting as a journalist, and I don't hide my affiliations. I disagree that I need to put a disclaimer on every comment I make. the information you quoted was very easy to find. You are the one being unfriendly.
Luckily as I read this (and my significant other read it over my shoulder) all my top matches are close male friends and my brother (and her).

Seriously though, this is a bit on the creepy side Facebook.
please dont tell people to disclose things about themselves that are available in their profile, especially when the accuser provides no information whatsoever on their background. i think google apps is great. i sell it too. i'm not acting as a journalist on here and i dont need to be objective or disclose affiliations.
So?

Who are we to say that people who want to watch Celebrity Apprentice or some celebrity reporting are watching the wrong type of programming and you are watching the right type of programming? Or even saying that no programming at all is what we should strive for?

This indeed is a "high horse" attitude. I guarantee you that whatever you do in your leisure time I can find fault with also. Of course, you won't agree with my opinions at all, but it still doesn't take away from my point. Which is that it's easy to point the finger and say someone is wrong for doing something. And make not mistake, you are saying that people that watch "empty" television are wrong.

And in the long run, what does it matter? We'll all on a path to oblivion anyway. If everyone stopped doing what they're doing at the very second and followed your way of thinking, it still won't stave off the inevitable. Time will devour us all, so it really doesn't matter if someone wishes to watch Jersey Shore instead of...well...instead of whatever it is you do personally.

Dreamweaver required you to know quite a bit about HTML. Muse is like InDesign/Photoshop, which people use to do mockups of designs (not UIs/wireframes) today. It cuts translation to code from the workflow. That's a meaningful shortening of the feedback loop for a designer.

As for the rest of us, we don't have to be concerned till Muse starts learning the quirks and features of CSS faster than ourselves.
Node v0.4.11 released
I bought a duplex, live in one side, rent the other. First time owner 5% down. Obama gave me $8000 to live in it for 3 years. mortage+insurance+taxes - rental income == about 1/2 what I would pay to rent similar place. I get many tax benefits (rental 1/2 counts as business). My equity + 8k (which was a one time thing but you should have taken advantage of it) is already more than my downpayment after 2 years. In another year or two I'll move out and rental income will be paying everything including building equity and providing a $4-500 of profit (which I expect to mostly used up in maintenance).

Duplex living is great deal. Assuming of course you live in a non-suck market (realestate and job). If I had the money for 20% down payment I'd be buying more.

I don't understand this move. To study at a renowned US university, you need to cough up a forture. To learn exactly the same but not get a piece of paper that says you did it, you can just take the classes online.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for free stuff, but I'd feel pretty cheated if I'd be attending Stanford on half my relatives' latest savings and they use my contribution to give it all to freeloaders.

Note, I'm not against it per se, I just don't get it. Isn't this very unfair to the people paying the bill? Can someone explain the reasoning behind it so I can stop complaining about this? :-)
I can't tell whether you're suggesting a solution or taking a guess as to what Muse did. I think it's the latter. Sorry if I interpreted your question incorrectly. :)

They're using a hidden div full of <img> elements to load the hover images before they're requested by an actual hover. It's all the way at the bottom of their code code:
<div class="preload_images">
[Removed for brevity]
</div>

Sprite sheets are another option (using the sliding doors technique), but they're a bit more ungainly. They would save a couple HTTP requests, but that extent of optimization isn't necessary on most sites. Unless I've already combined all my stylesheets into one file, I certainly wouldn't start combining images.

What really matters is perceptible lag to a user, and either technique work just as well for that.

I find Adobe's technique kind of neat, and I'll probably use it in some of my future websites.

I don't know what the criteria for calculating uptime is, but I know that if you have 1 billion users, if every time more than 2 of yours users can't reach your servers you consider that downtime, you'd probably be 100% down. If you know how many Google Apps users couldn't use the apps and that number was substantial, you have a point. But if you have no idea how many people had that problem, it is possible that the number was very small and that you were just unlucky. Personally, I've found all of Google's services very dependable.
The fact that someone can "stumble across" your logged profile is less of a concern for you than the fact that they might see your search history? Seriously?
The problem here for me is that said individual is still working within the company. Thus, even if I never hear of him, nobody can guarantee that I won't be bitten by his unprofessional behaviour later if I keep doing business with the company.

And after all, said individual did performed actions while wearing his administrator hat. This deffinitely makes him part of the company.

Why do you think Google, Microsoft and all other big companies do not allow Engineers and programmers to make public statements (about the company), unless they specify with uppercase bolds that this is their own opinion.

I have a CS degree and 20+ years of professional experience and I can tell you that your love of philosophy and symbolic logic will serve you far better than any of the advice you've received here so far.

Would you just dive into a proof using truth-functional propositional calculus if you were totally ignorant of the rules of inference?

Would you try to operate on someone without being training in medecine and surgical techniques?

Ignore anyone that tells you to learn "language X" or "just dive in and build something". It's bad advice, unless you like stumbling around in the dark.

The right way takes longer but you need to build from a solid foundation. Right now, you don't know what you don't know.

Which language or platform you choose will be largely irrelevant. Learning a new language shouldn't take you more than a few weeks. Mastering a new language is another matter entirely, but essentially still just a matter of practice.

Invent your own pseudo-language (or read about pseudo code) and learn how to decompose a problem into discrete steps. Learn to recognize and apply patterns in your solutions. Familiarize yourself with common data structures and algorithms. Do all of this before you ever try to write a line of code.

While you're doing that, read voraciously. Books. Blogs. Read everything you find anywhere that good programmers congregate (like Stack Overflow). Ignore the loud hand-waving pundit. Listen to the quiet voice of sanity. You'll soon learn to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Unfortunately, the wrong way sometimes works. The danger is that you'll build mental models of how things work based on the language and environment that you use. We need these models to cope in the absence of deep understanding. It's how the brain works and we do it almost automatically. However, if you approach the process at a more abstract level your model is more encompassing and you can easily simplify it to fit the situation. Shifting your thinking from abstract to concrete is easy, the other way is much harder because you're missing the big picture.

You're forgetting that when several thousand people access a site per second, even a 1kb difference means thousands of dollars of bandwidth cost and fractions of a second of download speed.... let alone 70KB of difference which would bankrupt your company and turn all of your users away.

We don't write HTML/JS/CSS by hand because it's fun, that's for sure. We focus on code-reuse and delayed loading plus AJAX (plus gzip, compress, CDN, cache, etc.) because the customer focuses on speed and the CEO focuses on the bottom line.
Regarding constructive criticism, I posted elsewhere in this thread that Muse generated a div to preload hover images. It's a nice bit of usability optimization, but the code could certainly benefit from a dose of minimalism. Even if Muse initially generates the page with this much bloat, I'm thinking it would be trivial [for Adobe] to run the page through an optimizer that rips out anything without style assigned to it. Then it could refactor the stylesheets, getting rid of redundancies, i.e. styles targeting p.paragraph and the like, and run a second round of optimization. Maybe I'm thinking about it wrong, but it would be worth the effort if they could cut the page into even a tenth the original size, which is a gross under-expectation.

Every time someone makes a 'society thinks' post, I mentally replace those words with 'you think'. And then I make mental self-corrections.

I didn't find much to correct for, though. You can't look for the opposite of narcissism to recognize leaders. And the startup community does a good job of encouraging alternative measures of skill.
Do you really think everyone has 100+ hours to spend learning the idiosyncrasies of HTML and CSS? That's asking a lot for someone that just wants to put up a landing page for an idea, or to design their portfolio.

Everytime my artist friend wants to put their portfolio online, I suggest they start by writing some simple markup and half an hour later I'm explaining the finer points of the box model while they whinge about how they'd rather be using Adobe Illustrator. The truth is that there will always be a group of people that are able to visualize what they want to create better than they can verbally, or symbolically.
I suppose that it could be a serious comment, but I really sturggle to parse it as anything other than a joke.

You couldn't pay me enough to _maintain_ that mess. Not even a unit test in sight if something breaks.
Except that developers are not even given the chance to fix issues before Johnny Public is allowed to start rating apps. The whole point of the beta is to ALLOW the developer to test their apps and find the bugs, as well as to iron out the bugs in the core OS. What if it is an issue with a core API that is now returning something that it shouldn't and it wasn't caught by Apple in testing, then the developer is getting blamed for something they can't even fix.

You have to be a part of the developer program ($99) to get pre-release software, and as part of that you go with the understanding that it isn't meant for everyday use.

Johnny Public shouldn't be running the beta in the first place. If by the time iOS 5 is out the developer still hasn't fixed the bugs in their app, THEN it is perfectly fine to start leaving bad reviews as the developer has had plenty of time to fix their app, but during the beta period, no.
I think you mean their private Facebook inbox. They may already be limiting what they do on Facebook. But they can't clear the history thing.

You gotta pay to play.

Retailers always demand a fee from the manufacturer before they provide special displays like the Apple section at BB. The contract likely specifies that BB employees will keep Apple's products charged up and functional at all times. This is only possible because Apple's products command high margins that can easily cover the marketing fees.

Apple's tablet competitors obviously don't have that level of relationship. I've yet to see so much as an end cap for an Android tablet.
Let me start by saying that it's not impossible, I know this for a fact because I did it. I'm 19 years old, I don't have a degree and a few months ago I landed my first job. I'm working as a software engineer.

Having said that however, don't for a moment think it will be easy. I've been programming as a hobby since I was nine and, after finishing full-time education, I spent the best part of a year learning and brushing up on my skills. Crucially, this was not something I did in my spare time, but continuously; I was effectively in full-time education.

There are two distinct pools of knowledge that it's in your interests to nurture: theoretical knowledge and practical knowledge. You will only be effective when you have a solid grounding in both. I may have made the mistake of focussing to heavily on the theoretical, but by working is possibly the best way to gain practical knowledge, so I'm addressing the imbalance.

There are a few topics which I focused on that have proved to be invaluable to me:

* Data structures and database design,

* The web stack (by which I mean the entire stack, how does TCP work or the OS schedule threads),

* Functional programming,

* Compiler internals,

I would have also greatly benefited if I'd had known more about asynchronous programming. Specifically, how are synchronous programs translated to work asynchronously, ie, how do threads work? How is CPS conversion an alternative to using threads?

Good luck.
