I'm also romanian -- it's simple really, the romanian government in general are leaches that are interested in just sucking EU finances (and doing a bad job at it too). Whatever software they need will probably be done by Siveco / UTI; nepotism being quite at home.

They are also mostly incompetent.
It was at its worst during the G3/G4 era. Once Apple switched to Intel the rivalry sort of lost a lot of steam.
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much substance here; it reads like a high school guidance counselor's pep talk. If you are seriously interested in entering engineering there are several good books available:

A fairly recent books is Studying Engineering, http://www.amazon.com/Studying-Engineering-Road-Rewarding-Ca... , unfortunately even it is eleven years old.

An older one I read more than 20 years ago, but is very readable and has a lot of useful information, despite its age, is Eric Laithwaite's Invitation to Engineering, http://www.amazon.com/Invitation-Engineering-Eric-Laithwaite... .
> Such vision to success proportionality is not so common, I think

I'm not sure of what you mean, but I would argue that vision is everything, and that vision well executed has to bring success.

When we say that execution is hard, we really mean that execution that implements a vision is hard. Execution without vision is really easy (it's entropy).

Vision is harder, because it's not just an idea (a wish), but a deep insight into the future and how to get there.

Those pictures of young YC remind me of Burano — an island next to Venice that stayed in a kind of "pristine" state: Venice before Venice.
It's not called the "Slovak Republic", but rather just Slovakia. The proper name of the neighbouring Czech Republic is just that instead of something like "Czechia", but this is not true for Slovakia.

No, the weird thing is I'm comparing Django to Kohana. The app I worked on in PHP was more complex, but one API page was very similar in both apps:

- Kohana: ~200 lines of code.

Apart from the usual science reporting calamity (sounds too much like spot reduction), can someone explain this study to me? You have two sets of training regimen, an then your conclusion is that one set decreases your fat levels more because it burns more calories. I can't find the study or even a decent abstract, just a small blurb at the university's site[1], but that looks like a huge case of Doctor Obvious to me.

What's the common factor? Did both exercise regimens take the same time, so you'll get more calories/minute from aerobic exercise? That would make sense, but just comparing two different sets is like saying that soccer is healthier than basketball, if you partake in one match per week. Yes, there's a difference in the sports themselves, but the bigger one is probably that soccer takes 90 minutes while basketball is 40 (right?).

I'm guessing the author of this article knew that (presumably that's where he got it from) but chose to omit that rather critical point from his post to make it seem more favourable to himself.

HCG DIET
I'm a single founder with a fairly profitable business (low-mid six figure profits after 1 year). I guess out of ignorance, I never even considered getting a cofounder. I can't say I regret my decision. Having 100% control over the course of my company is something I wouldn't easily give up. In terms of workload, what does a cofounder give you that you can't get for much cheaper with contractors or employees? In terms of emotional support, I think being married actually helps quite a bit. Even though my wife is not actively involved in the company, I bounce ideas off of her all the time.

Perhaps a cofounder is more useful for startups that want to grow very fast (the type YC likes to invest in). But for the organic/bootstrapped style startups (ie 37Signals / FogCreek) is having a cofounder really necessary? Everyone likes to quote PG on this, but consider the source. His experience is with fast growth, VC funded, shoot for the moon style companies. So it may not necessarily apply to everyone's situation.
Over half the funding comes from the United States.

The odds (and size of bet) were proposed by the other party. So all you can deduce is that Eliezer thinks Pr(Higgs)<1/2. (If you have a good estimate of Eliezer's risk aversion level for bets of that size, you might be able to get a slightly better estimate, but my guess is that it's extremely close to zero.)
Bayesian inference is applicable here, because we are talking about the subjective probability - ie, confidence - that one single fact is true. There is no way to reduce a single "event" (that there is Higgs particle or there isn't) to a frequentist, or "objective", probability.

As you correctly say, the influence that the results we already got about the possibility that Higgs boson exists with a high mass have on the global possibility that there is a Higgs boson depend on the a-priori (to the current experiment) confidence that we give to the high mass/low mass hypotheses. So there is for sure not a 95% drop in confidence, but there is indeed a drop, unless you gave 0 confidence to the high-mass hypothesis before the experiment.
I like how, in the screenshot, line 1337 is presently active. That just can't have been an coincidence.

To this day, Motion-X absolutely kills it with their "overblown" designs. This 2009 article is harping on an app that was dominant for the two years following its publication, and a design strategy that is still working for the company.

It's true that you can make an excellent UI using the standard components, and this also leads to other advantages like being able to adapt to new screen sizes easily. But to say Motion-X's UI somehow fails is a disproven hypothesis.

They went on to use the same kind of design approach for Motion-X GPS Drive, which let me check... yep, makes more money than Angry Birds in the US App Store, ringing in at 11th grossing app overall (not in the category, on the entire App Store).

Spot on, Smashing Magazine... you literally could not have picked a worse example. Maybe I should be quiet though, since we compete with them on some apps :)
Also, the $99 pricing got them a lot of good press because it was a very good deal. An average deal would have no press so no sales, the sales are not a linear correlation of the pricing.
Didn't the author of the article shoot himself in the foot with this statement:

> These assessments carry a probability measure, such as 95%, 99%, or—as traditionally required in particle physics for a “definitive” conclusion about the existence of a new particle: 99.99997% (this is the infamous “five-sigma” requirement).

So...the five-sigma requirement means that your run-of-the-mill physicists won't accept a claim until there's statistical evidence accurate to 99.99997%. From 95% to ...that number is still a significant number of tests, no? Doesn't this paint the title as sensationalist with the author's own words?
Thank you, Paul. I love this trip down memory lane.

Hey Chris, I've been using a similar structure for some of my projects (all involved track their billable time, which is paid off first in equal proportion, then any remaining upside is split down the middle).

I haven't formalised either, so no contract to give you unfortunately, but wanted to touch base in case we end up thinking about or writing anything which is mutually beneficial.

Some universities have umbrella corporations/trusts set up where students making a mini business can do it under this legal entity and just tell them in plain-english how they want any revenue to be split up. Since the students trust the university, it more or less works out, although someone at the top needs to bear the legal costs/risks.

Anyway, my email is robftz@gmail.com if you want to discuss further.
> at the moment each is equally likely.

Impossible. Unicorn turds would be a variety of dark matter; if most of the apparent mass in the universe were made of unicorn turds, the dark matter hypothesis would be correct. (Unless they were very sparkly unicorn turds, emitting enough light for us to detect from far off.)

Further: they'd be a very boring kind of dark matter: the same kind of stuff as we, the earth, the moon, etc., are made of. And there's very good reason already to believe that there isn't enough of that to account for the gravitational anomalies you get if you assume no dark matter.

I therefore declare: Pr(anomaly comes from unicorn turds) is much smaller than Pr(anomaly comes from dark matter).

My latest iphone/iPad app would probably be considered as "overdesigned" by the article's standards.

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fantasy-football-draft-monste...

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fantasy-football-draft-monste...

Do you know why? Because overdesigning SELLS. My iPad app is currently ranked top 75 overall and my iPhone app has been in the Top 100 overall. With 400K apps in the app store, having a unique looking UI will attract more people to try it.

I totally agree with having good UX and being consistent with the HIG, but the user can't appreciate that until after they've purchased the app. So if you want to actually sell a few copies, then suck it up and pimp out your UI. You'll be glad you did.
It doesn't seem to obviously be limited to open source software? The article suggests the illegality comes from the lack of a signed contract, which you don't get with any software under a proprietary EULA either. I assume this just gets ignored though...

Most of the rest of the article seems to be about this Romanian tender business, but excluding free software from that wouldn't actually make that software illegal, so it's apparently not really relevant to the title.
Glad the author used the Bloomberg stock finder input as an example.

I've been teaching my father in law how to use the Bloomberg app on his iPad and this was one of his biggest stumbling blocks - he just couldnt work out why the keyboard wouldn't appear.

With the adoption of these types of devices moving to include the "non-tech savvy" population, who aren't as quick to work out unclear UI, we start to see how small UI choices can have a dramatic effect on usability.
Cpa cpe
CPAs in virtually all states are required to complete approximately 40 hours of CPE or Continuing Professional Education annually to maintain their license. While the number of hours required may vary, the rationale for this requirement is true for every accounting professional: to remain updated on legislative and tax codes developments and to continuously improve professional skills.The benefit of CPA CPE is not just a necessity to maintain license validity. The true payoff is in the career benefits and advantages gained with the courses and programs, such as those from CPA continuing education and training providers (NASBA-approved).
Two great things to note about this video:
1. Jobs puts a good amount of time thinking about what he is going to say. Many presenters would just start speaking, some would ramble, even just a little. Pauses can be a good thing in a presentation for both the speaker and the audience.
2. Start with the customer experience. Absolutely.

Man, overkill! I love my Roomba from iRobot, simple and effective. All of the alternatives so far have been greatly over-engineered.
I'm not sure I follow your first argument. The probability of finding the item in the remaining 5% of the search space is independent of the time required to search different sections of the search space (unless of course you have additional prior information about where the item is more likely to be located).

The fact that it may take you, say, 90% of the time to search a particular 10% section of a search space doesn't increase the probability of finding the item in that section.

Wii Cases-Dress Up Your Wii
I still can't accept that these are memory errors... The chance of that seems just too small. You get 600k errors an hour globally but they still have to hit the exact place where the domain is stored - in ~3GB of memory. Additionally it must happen during or shortly before the request. How can this produce a sustained ~80 unique hits per day?

They should probably create some domains with 2, 3, 4, 5 bits swapped and show that the proportion of traffic drops dramatically to prove their theory about memory issues. Otherwise, I'm tempted to say - what about dangling pointers? What are the chances of that happening instead?
I think it's essential to formalize it. It's easy to do this when things are sunny and bright, but very hard to do when things don't go that well.

I hope your title was sarcastic.
I'm not saying Bayesian inference isn't applicable, I'm just cautioning against an careless interpretation of its results. But if you insist on interpreting it in this way then yes, it means the probability of finding a Higgs is lower.

However, as I said above the term "95% confidence" is not related to this reasoning at all. Saying for example "the Higgs mass is not 140 GeV at 95% CL" means precisely: If the Higgs were at 140 GeV, it would have 5% probability of producing the results we measured experimentally. It does not mean "we are 95% sure the Higgs isn't at 140 GeV".

For discovering an effect the standard is indeed 5-sigma. But here we are discussing excluding an effect, namely deciding that a suggested effect isn't there. For this the standard is lower.
"Troll" still means someone whose goal is to make someone look bad.

In this case, the guy asked a question that he already knew the answer to in an attempt to make Jobs look bad by being the messenger.

Jobs evaded the question, instead of answering it, which was the only way to save face. With trolls, this is almost always the case, because they set up their question in such a way that there's no good answer to it.

I work with PHP daily and do not know of what you speak. Haters be hatin', but your 'eye-stinging bugs' are unknown to me. Care to provide some examples?

You are probably referring to the mountains of crappy PHP code? About the inconsistent order of 'haystack' and 'needle', or the lack of a common policy on whether or not to use a underscore as separator? Those are valid complaints, but no argument against improvement of the language. On the contrary, I would say.

ST looks really promising and I am excited to see where it will go.

I still use Code Browser (http://code-browser.sf.net) which is oriented around folding. One feature from it that I really miss in other editors is the "Clone Window" function that creates a new tab of the same file, scroll and cursor position. IMO, this beats using bookmarks because you simply close the new tab to go back to where you were.

The author uses the fact that most apps are not used much after they are first downloaded to to justify his argument that non-standard controls are bad. But he fails to make a causal connection.

On the contrary, people will use apps if they are useful, and will learn any UI to achieve their goals. Does Angry Birds use any standard UI controls? Nope! But people play it anyway, because it's a great app. Standard UI controls would just make it ugly.
marketing tends towards an exercise in who can lie the most and get away with it.
