Also -ansi and -pedantic if you're aiming at the C89 standard for some reason, it's great to look in the gcc manpage and see all the little flags that are around. I don't often like -Werror since it can interrupt my flow. If I'm testing runtime correctness, and something like "suggest parentheses around assignment used as truth value" pops up when that was intentional, I don't want to make the context switch to go back and fix it and recompile before context switching again back to test whatever runtime correctness I was aiming for. I'll fix it later. Philosophically, -Werror assumes I'm the type of person who ignores warnings completely for the duration of a project, and will stop you from ignoring them in the first place even if there may be reasons to; I don't think most people are that way.

> Once you hit about 20Mbit/5Mbit faster speeds are almost completely unnoticeable by most people who are just doing some normal browsing, IP video, e-mail, FaceBook, etc.

People always say this, some years ago it was 6Mbit, before that it was 2Mbit etc. The services change and with it the demand for higher bandwidth. In a few years when everything (TV, phone, internet) runs in super high quality through your broadband you will need more again.
That said, i am currently happy with my 64/5Mbit at home, still have the option for 128/10 but dont need it right now.

Only have 32/2 in the office though and thats a bit on the low end when 6-7 people use it all the time.

Well to be honest there is very little language-specific magic in java - the base language is very simple (in terms of complexity of the language, not how easy it is to code in).
cool....awesome stuff.
What % of programmers work at Google? Yes, "people who went to good startups early" profited immensely (not just Google, but Microsoft, others, etc.)

What % of programmers work at "software" companies? Here, in this space, that realm receives bulk of focus, and even there, most of these positions are of the one-off variety (or very small teams) compared to corporate IT where not so long ago, hundreds, even thousands of programmers worked in departments now staffed (in what I would estimate to be the majority of firms) by an amalgamation of offshore programmers and imported non-immigrant visa workers. Yes, these jobs pay more than lettuce picking, but the mechanism still serves as downward throttle on wages and bill rates.

There is colossal range in low-end to high-end in programmer pay. And jobs at the high end are not as plentiful as those on the low end. And developers in Silicon Valley (or big metro hubs) eclipse the rest of the country where it's not unfathomable for programmers to make less than 50K.

I will agree with the contention that the free agency nature of career field is driving out those who do it because they "_enjoy_ their work" -- in non-software corporate positions, I do not believe that was the norm until the 21st century.

I'm sorry? Python is the same way:

>>> i = 10
>>> def x():
... print i
...
>>> x()
10
>>> i = 11
>>> x()
11

The value is not closed over in any language I can think of off the top of my head. It's a reference to a variable in lexical scope.

What python does slightly differently is writing to variables in outer scopes. But it still closes over references.
Unlikely, probably just because C++ style comments aren't valid in the C89 standard. I assume Visual Studio, like gcc, defaults to compiling with "c89+", their own flavor of the c89 standards with sane extensions like C++ comments and not needing to declare variables before all statements. My C class forced us to always compile gcc with "-Wall -Wextra -pedantic -ansi", and I forget the "cl" and Borland arguments. (Fortunately Makefiles were usually provided.)

I mean, if this is a reason not to use C++ style comments, then it seems like a very weak one of many reasons not to use C++, I don't think that was intended.
Regarding governance - most ambitious politicians appear to be extroverts. I'm not an engineer but there are many in my family and they're not the most gregarious sort. Is this an inaccurate stereotype? I wonder if despite highly intelligent, moral attributes, our technologists, research scientists, etc. are not attracted to the intense social demands and / or rewards of politics. Are our smart, worthy introverts "opting out?" If so, it's a shame. But on the other hand, no-one will be coming by to tap you on the shoulder for such roles, even my neighborhood councilman has to hustle.
> "Closure" (at least to me) doesn't imply this bevaior in a language with mutable variables.

I don't think I can name a single reasonably-known language with mutable variables and closures that doesn't exhibit this behavior.
Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, Jeff Bezos, Larry Page and Sergey Brin started as software developers and among the richest people in the world. Top tier IT professionals - directors or C level, successful entrepreneurs or finance standouts, all make gobs of money by almost any professional standard.

Non tech cofounder needed for StickyFrames side project
I've requested a tech cofounder in this thread:
http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2416279
but I've managed without one. Now, the web platform of the StickyFrames project is almost ready. All I need is to add better headers and an informative text - which I am slowly modifying and adding at the moment.
I will need help with no technical aspects of launching a startup and a new product such us: selling, promotion and marketing, business plan, budgeting, accounting.
I will also need someone who can criticize and question me every step of the way as well as someone who can help me out to get better organized. A stake of the project is available for the "right" person. There is nothing to invest except the "sweat" equity.
About the project:
Essentially, Sticky Frames are cheap, "blank" flexible car magnets that you "print" yourself using your own printer. SF looks like a regular flex car magnet, but it comes with a thin clear vinyl pocket (sheet cover) attached to it. You slide your message into the pocket and secure it with ziplock to make it element proof. You can create the message by using "our" web service that is full of easily tweak-able templates (90% ready)
www.stickyframes.net
To do:
1. Logo
2. Promotion - thinking about going on Kickstarter - may be a good option to get the traction going.
3.Text on the web site
4. Social Media aspect
5. Physical Prototypes (currently I am handling it, so far so good)
6. Business development.....
Some photos of the per-production prototypes that actually work quite well:

One vote for photography here: you can get as technical as you want (or as your wallet allows) but you can produce great work with just your phone's camera. You can show it off to other people, or just keep your laptop supplied with desktop images.

I have found, however, that while I really like photography and I really like coding, it can be very, very difficult to switch between the two - on the order of weeks to go from "thinking like a photographer" to "thinking like a programmer". Perhaps that will improve with time.
you can't come off the street and start lawyering and doing surgery

True, you can't do that now. But going back to what he says about the industrial era of America, you could do that in an earlier age. The software industry and culture is only in its infancy in America.
Would it tell me beforehand that not enough space is available instead of failing midway? Also, I can see a use case for this pause item here: not enough space? we paused the transfer so that you can free up space and resume, or cancel at will.

The "use pause to prioritise the thing I'm not interacting with" part is egregious at best. Let me drag/drop the activities to prioritise them: "I want THAT one to complete faster, so I move it to the top" seems much more pertinent UX.

Besides, having ten parallel copies is a sure performance killer on a single disk. Certainly having a queue with a bunch of worker slots per (read+write) device could be a nice design. A new copy task from disk A to disk B could thus be delayed because there are already a network transfer to disk A and a copy from USB key to disk A in progress. Number of per disk workers could be dynamically adjusted according to IO wait times on a given disk, so that a non-copy task (like starting an application or opening a file) would get priority. Raising/lowering priorities would automatically start/pause transfers according to available workers.
Absolutely fantastic reply.

Although one can get a programming "job" with little experience, or better yet just start programming with little more than a laptop and some free software - being a top-notch developer takes many Years of training.

As the computing industry and inherent complexity continue to grow, and as society relies more heavily upon it, we'll likely find similar barriers to entry. Programming is an infant relative to the practices of medicine, law, and other well established industries.

My ideal world is one in which everyone learns how to program along side math, science, language, and so on - just as we learn about health and civics, not to become doctors or lawyers but to become healthy members of society. If computers are to become an important part of human society, then programming them should be a part of the basic curriculum. The social respect of professional developers will surely grow as software development becomes better understood.

Not that I receive any lack of respect from my non-techie peers. But I certainly wouldn't mind being able to discuss my daily brain-benders with a stranger at the local watering hole-in-the-wall.

It's marginally more likely that your C tutor hadn't noticed that //-style comments are now C-style too, and imagined that Visual Studio permits it as some kind of non-standard extension.

(Correctly arguing he is right, then reasonably rebutting this argument, is an exercise for the reader.)

This feature has only been with us as part of the standard since 1999, which in geological terms is merely the blink of an eye. I imagine this is why so many people seem not to know about it.

Yeah, I don't have any stats at hand but docs-in-training I know seem to see themselves as being somewhere around $200k in hock for all the training. And med. reimbursement is going to a scary place in the US. I worked in a medical practice and the dual specialist MD lost money on every patient due to insurance and overhead and abysmal medicare reimbursement. Clinical trials provided the practice's profit. Programming / engineering seems much more free.

Vidyard looked good at first glance, as I'm looking into adding video to a site right now, but the free video, with branding, is really no better than YouTube.

There is no such thing as "untouched nature". Humans have been almost everywhere on the planet since the late 19th century (exploration of polar regions, deserts and submarines). There are hundreds of thousands of native Alaskans who have a problem with your idea that no one ever lived there.
>There's no need to bring a perceived political orientation into it.

People need to understand what they're saying. If this guy is going to come on here with an out-of-the-blue judgment on an abstract concept someone needs to point out that he's being simple minded. And in the group most likely to have this particular ignorant behavior are, in fact, the tea party.

>Please keep such emotional baggage off of hacker news.

He brought the emotional baggage here so I stepped up to say it's not welcome in clear and unambiguous terms. If people want to vote us both into the gray I'm good with that. The OP is not getting away with silent contempt from me. Not on hacker news.

From a cursory glance at the formula, it looks like it can't be computed in a rolling fashion (as new comments come in), so you have to look at the entire history of the user to calculate the karma. Is that correct? Looks like a showstopper to me...
Good stuff about improving the first-time experience for Twitter users.

"The new [signup] process is now three steps and more time consuming. But it has a 29% increase in completions and the people who complete the flow are much more engaged"

"Changing the prompt from "What are you doing?" to "What's happening?" made the process of posting on Twitter more approachable. This is an example of micro-copy in action."
One reason salary is too low for programmers,
a normal engineering grad joining Infosys, TCS, Accenture, Cognizant etc. in India, is paid approx $10,000 and you guys compete with them for jobs.

PS: I am an Indian, working in one of those jobs.
Then why post a nonsensical stab at socialism? It screams of simple mindedness and heavy partisan politics (your comment wouldn't even make sense in most of Europe where the politics doesn't get to such ridiculous levels of rhetoric like it does in the states).
The thing is that programmers largely are interchangeable. Of course, you are a special snowflake etc; but at the end, the majority of programmers do repeatable, simple work, e.g. writing line-of-business Java applications, maintenance work like adapting Cobol code to work with new tax rules, writing generic GUI's that work just well enough to justify the expense given that the app has only a few 10's or 100's of users, etc.

For all of these things, when managed properly (i.e., rotate programmers enough, take care of documentation, have strict coding standards etc), you can get a new programmer who has had a 2 year degree in programming and 6 months of training on the specific technology up to speed in such a project in a week. That's not quite as interchangeable as a guy turning screws in a car factory, but it's not that far off, either.

I realize that everybody likes to thing that they are so special and that without them the world (and certainly their company) would grind to a halt), but for the vast majority of programmers, it's simply not true. And for those where it is true, there is a large part where it's only true because management allowed one person to become so entrenched in one place that they've made themselves indispensable. And not because of the nature of the work.

So basically, you'd "copy" a file on an external harddrive, plug it out and then have a surprise when you'd notice that the file isn't actually there when you get to another computer?

Because cross-device copying is the only place where this operation is slow, with modern HDDs all other operations are instantanious for all intents and purposes.

Good idea but you really should have put more tought on it.
Why stop there? Why not just stop worrying about files and folders, and just think about documents, pictures and videos instead? Why should I have to care about the low-level filesystem at all?

Cue iOS.

Another thing - does this tool looks like anything that can be used for hacking? Even Hollywood does a better job at showing 'hacking scenes'...

For me, that's +1 on my fake-news detector.
But I guess that's not too surprising.

I don't know - that's actually very surprising to me considering each user has their own temporary folder.

I can't imagine what reason could exist for this functionality except possibly to provide backwards compatibility with some popular apps that have been poorly written.
But technically doctors and lawyers are interchangeable as well. Barring specialization, they all have similar educational background and they differ more by reputation rather than basic skills.

Of course, there's the union/doctor's association thing that keeps the supply short whereas programmers and "programmers" turn up almost everywhere.

Similarly programming skills vary a lot. Doctors and lawyers execute more and innovate less and they all have a basic level of knowledge that people are willing to pay for. Hiring a programmer is like hiring an artist: a good one will create lots of wealth while many can just fill in the blanks with something.

There's also the question that many doctors and lawyers are running their own clinic or law office, or they're shareholders of their "employer". There are a lot of programmers merely on the payroll. And being on the payroll only doesn't make you rich unless you can negotiate your salary or compensation to match your perceived personal capability. This hints that doctors and lawyers could be more fairly compared to entrepreneurs.
Or, as the story suggests, think about why the PISA scores are so important to us when there are many other ways to "grade" educational systems.
I'm trying to subscribe to your blog but I cannot find a feed?
Oh right, that would be it: this was a mechatronic engineering course and when we first learned C they taught it in Visual Studio. It sounds like your C class was better :) I wish they'd taught us initially to do the compiling/linking etc. ourselves. I guess they wanted to just teach coding and leave the rest as an exercise for us to learn independently (the irony of course being that learning all that other stuff seems to me to be vastly more complex and involved, and in need of formal educational structure, than writing code, but anyway ... )

So I guess most of the C compilers for the target microcontrollers we were working with in later courses would have used the C89 standard
Do you have any plan to deal with non disjoint items... that would be an interesting problem to solve.
