That being said Tempo is a lot lower level writing than most of the blog posts, not that that's a bad thing.

If you've read through the Gervais Principle and A Brief History of the Corporation, and find yourself wanting a lot more, the book will give you a lot.

Of course, most of useful software involves input and output and state. Functional programming doesn't preclude that. There are compilers, package managers, documentation systems, etc, written in Haskell. They all use files and databases. Of course, your programs have to be designed differently.

For reference, here's is a talk by Don Stewart et. al about the design of XMonad:

It honestly wouldn't. I browse with some antivirus stripping out my referers and modifying other headers to be less identifying, and it's vanishingly rare for me to get any sort of problem whatsoever.

The flipside of this is that knowing where people have come from is very valuable even in non-invasive ways to business, and in the end that's what the internet is more or less about nowadays. The average web user probably only uses a few things which aren't solely controlled by one vendor - email being a notable one, and probably why Facebook messages will never win in the end if history teaches us anything :-)

Not all famous people will have a twitter account, but if they do, it'll probably be in the top few results.

Those people who want to use pseudonyms, and have less visibility, can do that too.

I do not think a social networking site itself needs to distinguish between famous people, ordinary people, and pseudonyms. Link popularity and user-generated status within the social networking site will do that, and search is pretty good at picking up on those cues.

If anything, perhaps G+ and twitter need [better] tools that enable the userbase to ensure that a "real" Steve Jobs account can be given more status (let's call it whuffie), but Google and Twitter themselves do not need to take it upon themselves to unilaterally declare one account or another as special or reserved. That way madness lies. It will stress out the companies who have to pay employees to vet accounts. It will stress out the companies when they get it wrong or get into disputes over well-known identities. It will stress out users when they see network effects being overridden by corporate administrative fiat.
So, you're assuming that in our country everyone wants to work in one of these industries... but what if you don't want to pursue an intellectual career?

More interesting, what if you don't have the education for pursuing such career paths? This is the biggest problem for Americans today. Most Americans have low quality schools that cannot prepare for career paths in Engineering and Science. Most of the Engineering labor in the US comes from abroad, either via American universities of the H1B Visa program. What is left for most US citizens educated in this country?
The State of CyanogenMod
Technically, Amazon could make the Kindle in the USA out of parts shipped in from various Asian countries even though it could not make each of those components in the USA as well.

But then, what really could be made entirely in one country? Especially when you consider each component, the raw materials, the machinery used, and so on down the line for each of those.

I don't necessarily disagree with the author that there is value to keeping a process "in house" which needs to be including in any cost savings calculations and that American companies are prone to discounting that value when making decisions. But at some point some components or steps in the manufacturing process might be necessary or optimal to leave in the hands of others whether foreign or domestic.

As a solid developer who lacks real design skill I thank you guys for building this. Having a clean looking app is key when showing off new ideas.
Honest analysis like this are worth their weight in gold. I just quit my job 4 months ago and I'm going through what your going through. I've realised I need to ship and I've already been talking to customers. I showed them the initial crappy product and understood their market a little from their product.

Stories like this really highlight the need to ship immediately, the need to talk to customers and test the validity of the idea as soon as possible.

Thank you so much for this.

Also the guys with a family who start companies are the ones with the biggest balls in SV. Kudos. You took your fear and charged right at it. I admire that!
That's been my experience as well. I still hate the freaking Maze Of Offers you have to navigate in order to checkout, but after that, no hassles. And their admin tools have gotten pretty slick.

But I try to scope out the availability of the usual suspects before committing to a name. But I don;t recall seeing any Twitter reminders, and I bought a domain just the other day. Maybe I'm immune to the noise on the site.
I own about 20 domains through Godaddy and they've been great. Customer support has been awesome too.
I've never understood the hate for Godaddy as far as domain registrars go.
It's more of a technical issue, isn't it? They need to figure out how to power it— that's a lot easier in a hospital than in a war zone.
It sounds like there's two main use-cases here:

- Infinite dragging of a particular element; for example, scrolling in Google Maps or the sort of 'click and drag' UI of a typical billiards or mini-golf game.

- Relative movement events in general, as used for 'mouse-look' in FPS games.

For the first use-case, it should be pretty easy to deal with. Add a property to the 'mousedown' event called 'relativeMode' (or whatever), initially set to false. If the event-handler sets 'relativeMode' to true, then instead of sending the usual string of 'mousemove' events to elements the cursor moves over, the browser should capture ("freeze") the mouse, hide the cursor, and deliver 'mousedelta' events to the original element (whose x and y properties contain the movement delta from the location of the original mousedown event). When the user lets go of the mouse button, the browser releases the capture and shows the cursor. There's no security issue, because the user is in control of the capture at all times, and can just release the mouse button whenever they want.

The second use-case is a bit more troublesome, but as the Chrome bug linked elsewhere in this thread mentions, "web-pages in full-screen mode effectively own the cursor anyway". Perhaps a similar 'relativeMode' property could be added to the 'fullscreen' event.

All the jobs you mention make substantially more money and I can assure you have better work conditions than a gasket manufacturing plant located in Japan's manufacturing hub. I'd rather be earning a living by means of a nursing job that pays at least 5 times (more like 10 times in the US) what a Japanese gasket plucker makes. And I get the bonus that I can feel great because even though I have to clean shit, I make someone's life more bearable and get to take care of human beings that appreciate that I'm contributing to humanity instead of rotting away any chance of developing my intellect by spending 12 hours plucking gaskets.

Also, the solution to the automation problem is not higher education, the solution is the return of the skilled laborer. You can't automate a robot to drive to a customer's house, cut open some drywall, fix a plumbing leak, restructure some electric piping to a new section of the wall, install a socket, make a report and get it signed by the customer, get payed, drive back to the company hub, and finally give you the money. Hell you can't automate a robot to make custom dragon blood forged steel swords, which we'll probably need for the zombie apocalypse. Bachelor and masters degrees are currently too easy to get to the point even a monkey could get a bachelors these days, specially if it's a wealthy monkey. The result is that GOOD plumbers, electricians, or dragon blood forged steel sword making blacksmiths are so hard to get this days because all the offspring of skilled laborers want to go to a fancy school to be doctors, lawyers, or architects, because it's all the rage to get a university degree this days.
The problem is not decentralization, but that all manufacturing is outside the US. The part of the process left here is the design. But what if the design is done by somebody else tomorrow? Then companies in this country will have no role to play.
No, you've misread me. I'm comparing Chinese factory workers to (more numerous) Chinese rural poor, who make four to five times less than the factory workers, and whose poverty cannot be attributed to greedy factory owners.

In objective terms, however exploited you think technology manufacturing "slave laborers" are by companies in the west, the west has done those workers a favor. The status quo ante was a poverty so grinding as to make the comparison to unemployed US auto workers laughable.

I think it's ironic
I'm pretty sure the patio11 did not mean that they where paid 13 dollars an hour to pluck and approve one thousand gaskets. He probably meant 13 bucks a day. A half inch gasket costs around 8 to 10 cents a piece (retail), around 5 or 6 cents in bulk by the hundred thousand or millions, which are the quantities phone manufacturers buy. At 5 cents a piece you would be making 50 bucks for each 1,000 gaskets, which you need to manufacture, box/package, and ship. You also need to pay utilities, management, equipment, marketing, and probably a whole bunch of other jobs not directly linked to actually plucking and approving gaskets. If you're paying more than one fifth of your earnings before taxes in people that pluck and approve your gaskets you're probably making no money, and most likely are loosing a crapton of dough on each shipment. Not only that, but if you're earning 13 bucks an hour, that's 2080/2496 bucks a month if you go by 8 hour days and 5 or 6 day workweeks. That's 24 to 30 THOUSAND dollars a year, which I'm pretty sure is FAR from being a poor persons salary. In some countries, that's a middle class working person's salary. Hell if they where working 16 hours a day for 6 days a week, they would be making close to 5K a month. That is so far from the reality of the actual japanese worker in a gasket manufacturing manufacturing plant, that it's no close to even being remotely amusing. In truth, it's extremely depressing.
When you visit a factory, it is easy to see that this is not the case. Yeah, the work sucks, but workers are happy to have the chance in general - they save money to build businesses, give to their families, etc. Factory work is better than starving, and better than farmwork.

I'm not actually, i used godaddy for my registrations before. It was really terrible and i'd never go back.

First off, buying a domain takes about 30 minutes. You have to navigate through what another commenter very aptly called their 'Maze of offers'. It's ridiculous. Everything in godaddy's management panel is a maze and impossible to use. They spam you like no tomorrow, and they randomly change your products to auto-renew when you don't want them to. Their COM domains start at $12 where other companies sell them for $10 or even less. Their pricing for everything else is ridiculous-- i mean, come on, $50 for an SSL certificate? Even changing your nameservers is an error prone process where you press Submit and wait 10 minutes[1] for their servers to tell you if it was successful or not-- but that's after you navigate their ever-changing[2] interface and two or three unique[3] control panels, trying to find where to change your nameservers.

I'm not jumping on any bandwagon, i used them for years and they are a horrible company.

[1] This is a slight exaggeration. It's literally about 4 to 5 minutes.

[2] Their entire site layout and organization changed at least once a year while i was using them for registrations.

[3] Not an exaggeration. I've often had to use 2 or 3 different control panels, each with their own design and layout, to change some trivial settings for one of my domains.
They might have been impossible but how long would it have taken to write the functional code vs write the code with side effects and fix the bugs?

What to Do If Your Blog Goes Viral: 10 Tips
From http://ashraful.org/browser-features/:

Nowadays almost any website you use has a lot of information about you. Google knows your search history, Microsoft has your emails, Facebook has your social graph and photos, Last.FM has your music history, Foursquare has your check-ins. And even though you are the owner, you cannot take your data with you.

You should be able to take your search history from Google with you, so you can use Bing and still get relevant results. You should be able to take your photos with you from Facebook to Google Plus so you can share it with your friends. You should be able to take your emails from Hotmail to Gmail so you can search through it more easily. And most importantly you should have the right to deny access to your data to any web service.

Browsr tries to provide you with complete control over your data by storing all our information locally. Instead of storing your information on some server that you don’t have access to, all of it is stored on your PC. And you can do whatever you want with it: back it up, put it on Dropbox, or provide access to any web service you choose. Having control over your data means you can quickly get started with new web services you want to use, with all your past data right there with you.

On top of that, Browsr also lets you keep your social connections with you by using the identity manager. Your entire social graph stays with you regardless of what social network you are using.
I have become an Data Analyst after many years in Software Development. As a team we are studying the DAMA DMBOK c.f. http://www.dama.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3345 which is the Data Management Body of Knowledge in order to become certified Data Management Professionals.

A Data Analyst might not be exactly what you want to do as you might be analysing a large Enterprise's data to find out about it's data's quality, what is the definition of the meaning of the data and whether it is the master data or a copy or derived from some other data etc.

It looks very a dry area of study initially but an awful number of real world problems are problems with data that fall into predictable patterns.

I don't think this really benefits users all that much from a privacy perspective; it really just consolidates tweet link clicks in server logs.

The information that would normally go in the referer header would presumably be available via future t.co APIs (although there is some privacy protection there now).

Posters can still use bit.ly links (just not by default); they would actually have a t.co link to a bit.ly link to their actual link. t.co links may offer similar statistics in the future. Twitter is also a private company that can track a large portion of peoples' browsing history.
