The links are not on Wikipedia's page. They're on Wikimedia's. It's a huge difference because the focus of each site is different, no matter that they're both owned by the same company.
I think most people would look at the top of page 7, go "eek!", and leave with the idea that compilers are insurmountable magic. That's all.

For me, being able to read that stuff came much later than learning about compilers. (I haven't read that specific paper yet. Sent it to my kindle, though.)

I could similarly recommend some papers on compiling via CPS, but the people Crenshaw is addressing would just find them intimidating - they're still getting to grips with the basic techniques and terminology.

I can see why you'd put the page for the same restaurant all across the tour—but if you're really going for the "about.me for restaurants" pitch, then you should be selling (and hence showing) a wide variety of designs, to show off your the flexibility of your service. A huge part of why about.me is what it is, is its simple, elegant way of making each page unique.

But really. Nice job! :-)
Android income experiment - or why AdMob sucks
Ask HN: What is the best time tracking app around, both for iphone and android?
Just cruising around the websites of local stores in my town, their websites that were made 5-10 years ago still look the same as ever, and for the most part still function the same as ever. (The exceptions being when they relied on third-party includes that have since gone out of business.)

HTML5 is just HTML, and unless that fundamentally changes, it should work "forever." JavaScript too, again, unless you're linking to frameworks hosted by companies that later go out of business. JavaScript usually adds, but rarely takes away.

The look of your HTML site 10 years from now may look more outdated than your Flash site does, but as long as we're all still around, I'd wager that they'd both still work, provided Flash player is still a thing.
You normally need a reverse dns lookup tool like http://remote.12dt.com/ or http://whois.domaintools.com/ or http://whois.webhosting.info/

Because of how PageRank works, no, there is no real difference at all. Wikipedia's homepage and many other pages link to Wikimedia and that's how it gets its high page rank and that's why it can sell the links this way. Other links on Wikipedia are all no-follow.

This is the same organization and in terms of PageRank algorithm there is no distinction. If you create a link to any Wikipedia page, it makes the Wikimedia page in question become more valuable in the eyes of Google and that's why buying the links there is worth the price.

Look, if you hate Flash because it eats at your CPU, or it broke into your house - be angry.

The author explains that Flash breaks 3 fundamentals:

* it encourages design abuse
* it breaks with the Web's fundamental interaction principles
* it distracts attention from the site's core value.

Guess what else breaks these fundamentals? Everything. Not just Silverlight or JavaFX. These technologies have accessibility API. People just don't implement them.

Anyone who implements a fancy custom scrollbar, forgets an ALT attribute, or doesn't properly wrap their label tags is breaking these fundamentals all the same.

It's not like I don't agree that Flash could be better, but this argument could be applied to just about any technology at any point in time.
A tale of requited love
Yup, safe job: Predicting the centers of distant, dead stars.
To all of those who believe that html5 can replace flash for web games have a look at :

http://armorgames.com/play/12141/kingdom-rush

and some other games on armorgames or kongregate and stop propagating rumors about HTML5 replacing flash for games. The performance of HTML5+JS is not there yet, unless you talk about tic-tac-too games and the like. If flash is going to be replaced by something it would be by unity3d not by HTML5 or might be chrome native client. Adobe would be smart to secure this game thing because ads, video, etc, will probably be less and less. I'd love to see a cheap flash console where indies could publish games and sell games.

That said I'm happy to see flash beeing kicked out of website design, when flash is mixed with html it sucks.
If flash was just unstable, unbelievable demanding on system resources and a user experience mess that would've been fine. What you are missing is that flash is not much more than a cross platform security hole and an open door to a large percentage of all general purpose devices in existence (only surpassed by PDF, but luckily there are non-adobe readers for PDF).

Any alternative to showing videos on the web will obliterate the need for flash for pretty much all users, and it's hard to imagine any alternative actually being worse for that (but deciding on format sure seems tricky).

Your points are valid and I think the article is referring to websites created in flash not games. For now, I think using flash for games is okay.

Sorry I only just got round to reading your reply. What you say is interesting and all but hazy. What is your actual reason for respecting them other than the fact that you acknowledge there might be reasons for their decision? To my mind that doesn’t warrant respect, but the suspension of judgement until you have more information.

I've been the CTO of a couple of software companies and am a hacker myself. I find it very hard to recruit good staff, as the article says, having a degree doesn't mean you're a good programmer. I expect any developer to have a degree, ideally a technical one. (I've taken a chance on self motivated people without this and have usually regretted it.) So that gets you in the door. What then drives my decision is your attitude. If you clearly love coding, learning how things work, can solve problems, aren't dogmatic over languages / OSs, etc. then you're down to the short list. If you can talk with enthusiasm about something you've done, be it professionally or as a hobby then you're likely to get an offer.

Ask HN: How to time-shift my productive hours
I work for myself, but due to circumstances, I'm quite limited in the hours I can do - I drop my wife off at work in the morning and usually have to pick my child up from school in the afternoon. So it's 8:30-9am to 4-4:30pm for me most days (with a bit extra in the evenings).

For a while I've not felt like I'm getting much done. And now that it is the school holidays (so I don't have to drop the wife off or pick the child up) I think I've figured out why. You see, this year I've had an office, rather than working from home. So, during the holidays, I can get up when I feel like it, get the bus into town and work till I'm done.

And I've found that I am significantly more productive when I'm coding between 2pm and 6pm. I'd say I get five times as much done as I would in an equivalent four hours in the morning.

So with school about to restart, and my old routine about to kick in, I'm wondering if there's any way I can shift that "hyper-productivity" timespan so to the morning. Does anyone have any ideas?

That's not even remotely accurate.
A hacker will be great for organizations looking for a pool of employees to exploit. You will rarely become management, you will rarely be assigned new tasks outside of your skill set, and you will eventually get frustrated and angry. Frustration and anger will lead to you screwing around or even getting into legal trouble.

Hackers are like programmers with ADHD and autism. They are superior at what they can do, they are probably some of the hardest "work hard, play hard" employees, but if it does not interest them, they aren't always effective.

One thing a degree will do, is teach you a rounded set of skill and how to focus on problems that may currently be outside your box. Advanced math and statistics, literal and verbal comprehension and grammar, let alone the social aspects that many hacker types can lack - plus, while you are taking the general education courses, you are expanding your mind to new concepts and may even find something to specialize in - ie social statistics, informatics, bioNLP...maybe even philosophy like myself.

If it comes to getting a degree or certificates, get the degree, if it comes to getting certificates or nothing, get the certificates...but having no formal education just makes a person look lazy on a resume, and if your resume actually does get looked at with no formal training, you are either exceptional or lucky. I was turned down for very high paying jobs and Network Admin and VP of Technology at corporations that everyone knows world-wide. I had exceptional references, proven track record, and when it came down to two people...I was not chosen because of no degree. In BOTH positions, the person who was hired was fired after one year because they did not have the skills necessary. So, getting a degree will not let you keep the job, but the education is enough to get you in the door and prove you are worth that six figures.
I've tried a couple of online tools (the ones mentioned above, and a few more), and also dig:

dig @<myDnsServer> -x 119.70.119.30

No dice on any of them. Also, I was under the impression that most times there's only one PTR record for a given IP, which means you'd get at most one domain name. Not sure about that, though.
Incorrect, I've gotten pings of less than 1 millisecond from over the internet.

This instantly reminded me of "Chase for the Golden Meteor", a Jules Verne novel where a meteor made entirely of gold is discovered and is supposed to crash on Earth. The effects on the world markets are especially interesting. Of course, in this case it's a moot point because we can't get there, but at some point we will have the technology to do so.

I actually do both. I'm a freelance developer, as well as a Firefighter/EMT (currently working on my paramedic certification).

The worlds aren't as far apart as you might think... While the stakes (and the pace) are obviously different, I think I enjoy both of them because of the challenge they present. My favorite part of the development process is troubleshooting (either new code or old... doesn't really matter). EMS is really all about troubleshooting. _Something_ is causing whatever this patient's issue is, I just need to figure out what it is and mitigate it to the best of my ability.

That's true, to a certain degree. DOM might cover the object placement, the scene graph and perhaps collision detection.

On the other hand, I'm pretty sure DOM doesn't provide a boilerplate game loop. It might sound trivial, but sorting and linked lists also sound trivial and you don't see people reinventing them on a daily basis either.

> What you can do is set it to only allow embedded loads from the 'trusted' network, for eg. the intranet [...] newer Windows will still know that the original source is from the web, so it will treat it as such.

I think Windows uses alternate data streams to mark files as coming from the web, if the web server is Unix it can't, and will not do such a thing. Files will apear as coming from the intranet.

Please read about how PageRank works. There is no distinction whatsoever about why they are able to sell links on that page (because of all outside links to Wikipedia) and no distinction about who the money goes to (Wikimedia). There is no substantive difference at all.
Possibly. Commodity storage has multiplied by more than the order of a thousand in the last 30 years (from less than 1Mb on floppies, around the 100K or 200K mark each IIRC with a person owning just a few, to a 2Tb drive being affordable). As SSDs progressively replace spinning disks the size of such a device will not be an issue, and we'll find ways to make use of the space easily (wall-size TVs playing uncompressed high-DPI high-framerate video? Whole-life recording?).

Talk to a tax accountant now - before you take any stock/options. You need to understand the tax and cash flow consequences of options. If you don't plan this right, you can wind up with a huge tax bill and no money to pay it with. To make things worse, if the stock then goes to zero, you'll still have to pay the taxes, even though you never saw a cent.

Negotiate vesting. Negotiate triggers (what happens if you get acquired/fired/relocated). Negotiate the length of time you have to exercise options after you no longer work there.

As for how much? As much as you can get. It's that simple.
AAPL: Jobs has always been one step ahead of the rest of us.
First off, it strongly benefits both sides to reach the 'correct' agreement here. If you over-negotiate and get too much equity, the CEO is duty-bound to fire you once they realize their blunder, since it's irresponsible to the other stakeholders not to. Similarly, if you are given too little, you'll come to begrudge them and quit, significantly hurting them.

If you started with any salary at all, you don't have a good argument for a founder-sized chunk. An early, key engineer is going to be somewhere in the 2%-10% range.

If you started without salary, and thus took founder-style risk, you might be playing more in the 5-20% space.

For the overall company breakdown, You can assume the structure is something like 10-25% employees/option pool, 75-90% founders.

For example, the founders might choose to give 5% to each of 2 key engineers, leave another 10% to spread among all future employees & advisors, and divide 80% between the founders.

Vesting is a clear "yes", for everyone on the team including the founders. Founders & employees should be on a 4 year vest with a 1 year cliff (if you get fired or leave within the first year you get nothing, at the end of year 1 you get 25% of the equity you are entitled to, and then another 1/48th of the total each month from then on).

The vesting thing is more like... if the founders don't do it, you don't want to work for them because they're clueless. So you should insist on it because otherwise the company isn't being run properly. If the founders don't vest themselves, quit immediately because they are mis-aligning themselves with the future of the company.

You always talk about equity in %, not a # of shares. Companies can be started with an arbitrary number of shares (my last one had 7 million, some go with 10 million, some 100,000). # of shares is totally meaningless -- talk in percent ownership. Founders saying "And you get 20,000 shares!" are trying to trick you.

My advice here is to make yourself a mock cap table, and try to play with how you would set it up to keep everyone properly incentivized, as if you were an outside board member wanting it all to run smoothly.

So assuming there are 3 founders (1 of whom is the engineer), plus you, plus 4 other engineers, you might end up with something like this (where you are the high-value engineer):

Founders: 75% (30/25/20), Current engineers: 15% (8/2/2/2/1), Future Pool: 10%
See I never got this argument. I studied history, music, and political science on the way to a BS; most schools have liberal arts requirements for all students. The main difference between BS and BA programs in most cases (in addition to a few more required math/science generals) is the number of required upper-level electives in the CS department, 3 vs 8 courses in my case. For me, I learned significantly more in the last 6 or so CS courses I took, things that give me a competitive edge in the industry. It takes you past the basics without sacrificing a well-rounded education.

K5 was interesting to me, and I actually was the one who negotiated an ad deal between Andover and Rusty to help him with money for the first couple years. K5 had very much the same feel as Everything2 which was the "other" site to Slashdot that the original krewe did. E2 still has a tight community with numerous marriages, people still talking. I think the problem with K5 is that become too self-referential, and ultimately people lost interest. That was the same thing with E2 -- while people for a time loved being part of the community at some point you have to start to do other things in life and the time commitment drops away.
