Here's an example of something that I've run across in my time dabbling with Clojure: How do I define my own collection class that can be used with all the standard functions? It seems like it should he straightforward, but the existing documentation seems to almost deliberately talk around it. Along the same vein, how to I define a type that works like a function, like keywords and sets do?

And then there are simple questions like how to make a concurrent application. The docs go on at length about how Clojure helps concurrent applications, but not a whole lot about what is a reasonable way to make one in Clojure. You're just told how great it is for the task and then kind of thrown in with a list of functions and told to get to it.
Stunning revelation: banks do business with everyone.

Maybe they do, maybe they don't.

But I'll tell you one thing unhappy people do: they leave, taking all your institutional knowledge with them. And now you're on the hook for some serious employee acquisition costs, not to mention the downed productivity and training.

I recently left my job for another one, and it looks like my former colleagues are leaving one by one also. This is one of the major household-name software companies, one with a particularly infamous attrition rate. Every single person who's leaving started down that path because they were unhappy, not because someone made them an offer they couldn't refuse.

In this market, if your employees are not happy they will get poached.
> Despite the fact that the light is originating at 2 cm from the eye, it can appear to originate at 2 km from the eye, in that 2 km is that distance that the eye will have to accommodate to to put that light in focus.

But there's a wall in front of it. How can I perceive an object as 10m away when I'm staring at a wall at 2m away?

Very true, but for the first 15 or so years of schooling, knowing the answer to a question is a sign that you aren't stupid, and so the inverse must be true: not knowing is a sign you are stupid. It takes a while to get out of this habit.
The wall will appear as if it:

- were translucent, and

- had a screen behind it

The light arrives at your eye containing both an image of a wall when focusing at 3m and an image of a TV show when focusing at 20m.

Such a light field is not distinguishable from the light field that would occur if the wall actually were translucent and actually did have a TV show playing on a screen behind it

I know what you're talking about, really.

My piece of advice: use OpenVPN for remote workers and even for connecting those "public" servers outside your production network.

It's really worth it.
The term patent troll was invented by someone working for IBM to describe firms they couldn't dominate purely by flexing their own absurd patents.

These trolls are waging asymmetric war. If they met IBM or Apple on their preferred battlefield (i.e. formed a company and made products, which is considered "the right thing to do") then they'd be wiped out instantly by superior firepower. So instead they fight the only way they can, forming terrorist cells or shell corporations that consist of two layers and a handful of patents (often with shadowy funding coming from larger players).

Note a further parallel. The term "asymmetric warfare" means to fight like a terrorist. What's the term for having a force so overwhelming that you get to order smaller companies/nations about? That situation seems just as asymmetric, and just as troublesome for the weaker companies/nations, yet it doesn't have a catchy term for us in the stronger countries to worry about.

Just to be clear, I don't think terrorism or patent trolling are noble pursuits or good for the planet, but I am saying that the conditions that lead to them can in basically all cases be laid at the feet of the big players and if you want to solve these problems, it's the big players you'd need to change.

The Old Days At AOL: "F--- 'em, that was our mantra" (2003)
Too late, it's on the internet. They're not going to delete it because then instead of the title of this story being "TechCrunch As We Know It May Be Over" it would instead be "The Article AOL Pulled From TechCrunch: TechCrunch As We Know It May Be Over". The first rule of getting yourself out of a hole is to stop digging.

UPDATE on GoDaddy's New "Selective DNS Blackouts" Policy
Key question: would a more, let's say, considered leading voice in tech be a good or bad thing? Genuinely unconvinced either way.
You took a shortcut. I don't think that TC wouldn't work without Arrington, and i don't think it is what Siegler wants to tell us. The problem is not that Arrington is leaving, the problem is that he will be replaced, and not likely by someone that will follow Arrington's way of leading TC. More like pleasing AOL.
The notion that Mike, or anyone else, investing in a company would dictate some sort of giant conflicted agenda is laughable. Literally. If Mike tried to get me to write some unreasonable post about a company he had invested in, I would laugh at him. But he would never do that.

No, what's laughable is expecting your readership to rely on your characterisation of your relationship with your editor as a guide to the editorial standards of your publication.

The magic at TechCrunch happens because the writers have very little oversight. Instead, the emphasis is placed on hiring the right writers in the first place

Indeed.

Quite often, you never even see what he brings. But it permeates the entire site.

As readers we have a robust yardstick for presuming bias in reporting: financial interest in the subject. It's important that we do have one and writers who claim otherwise should know that they're demanding a serious indulgence. In contrast to Siegler's tantrum: hxxp://allthingsd.com/author/kara/#kara-ethics

"Teaching girls that their appearance is the first thing you notice tells them that looks are more important than anything."

Hate to say it, but what if they are? Lots of studies show that pretty people get further in life.

Not that I mind girls being interested in other things, but perhaps the ideology should be kept in check.

Even if a girl doesn't care about her looks, other people will, and she has to learn to deal with it.

I think I'm the bounty hunter that got $10 and $50 for two similar bugs. cperciva's summary is accurate in my case. WRT feeling respected, it wasn't an explicit need for me but implicitly it helps a lot that his replies had a few lines of explanation when it was a "no, not a bug" or a borderline decision on how big a bounty. Just as it would if I'd had made the report to a non-bounty FLOSS project.

PIX Hydraulics Europe Ltd. is the Hydraulics arm of PIX Transmissions Ltd., the rapidly emerging, global power in the Fluid and Mechanical Power Transmission industry. PIX Transmissions acquired Flexequip Hydraulics Ltd. in May 2007 in an effort to expand its core activities and market share. Since the acquisition, the Lisburn (Northern Ireland)-registered company has moved key operations to Ipswich in an effort to enhance its service offering to both its UK/Eire as well as continental European customers. The move also allows PIX Hydraulics Europe Limited to optimise resources and achieve greater efficiencies, by co-locating itself with its parent company, which is a key player in the mechanical Power Transmissions industry.
You're not being entirely fair to AOL here: Arrington could have just said "no way" to the whole CrunchFund thing and posted a TechCrunch rant if it did go through. That would have made it much harder to sustain accusations of a conflict of interest (the critics are certainly less noisy about TechCrunch's coverage of AOL these days, although that's obviously a no-no according to classical journalist ethics.)

AOL is in no way perfect, but let's not place all the blame on them.
One of the easiest way to understand some of the mysteries of Clojure is to read the source, a large amount of Clojure is written in Clojure and the source for most functions is just one click away.

I agree though, lots more examples would be nice!
I've never reviewed any journal contracts before, but wouldn't there be some clause that forbids publishing content that intentionally damages the publisher's brand? If so couldn't TechCrunch sue the author here?
I think that in the future, the following phenomena are likely to proliferate:

- high-res satellite and airplane imaging of the globe

- public geotagged photos, including compass bearing

- Google Street View road images

- public security cameras on public streets

All of this data can be integrated using software like Microsoft's PhotoSynth, to stitch together a gigantic 3D model of the real globe.

Then, people with Voxel Vision will be able to look around at streets and landmarks that are interesting but physically occluded.

As a guy, and a geek, I definitely find intelligence highly attractive (and I think most of you would agree with me). Since geeks will eventually inherit the earth, wouldn't it be advantageous to start teaching our women how they can get ahead on this curve by flaunting their intelligence? :)
Then what is it written in, if not CoffeeScript. You're somehow very very confused about things :-)
WHY IS IT ESSENTIAL TO GET FREE ONLINE QUOTES
Don't make the mistake of confusing the word most with the word all when considering what happens in mergers and acquisitions. The application of natural selection to these situations is apt.

Consider both TechCrunch and The Huffington Post pre-sale to AOL. Which one would you have said made sense and which would you have said not-in-a-million-years? The TechCrunch acquisition was to literally buy credibility, whereas the Huffington Post purchase was to resource a strategy. Arianna Huffington makes AOL stronger in the traits that it has self-selected for. She's going to be just fine.

I am from Scandinavia and that's not really true. We like naked females as much as everybody else and will do as many stupid things to get them. What we don't have is a bunch of extremely religious people with power so the contrast makes it seem more easy going.
Colin, you're publicly asking about HN secret sauce. PG probably won't answer here because answering reveals how his non-public anti-abuse code works. Just like the Google PageRank algorithm, if it is publicly known, then it's easier to game. It's unfortunate, but true.
As a guy, this type of thinking once again puts the value on women as 'attractiveness'. Why isn't intelligence good for its own sake?
Am I the only one who sees the victimization going on here? MG says "AOL promised not to interfere" and yet now "they may break their promise to us". Meanwhile Michael went and created an investment fund that clearly conflicts with TechCrunch interests.

I think AOL tried to have it both ways. With mainstream media revealing the distasteful arrangement, however, AOL has to protect their bigger interest: publishing.
I often read such articles from women, but never from men. After looking deeply at myself and how the world around me acts, I feel that it is really true: Women ARE evaluated mostly by their looks. Women who look good, wear good clothes, have a good makeup, will get what they want much more easily then others. To some degree that is also true for men. It is just how the world IS. So instead of teaching girls about the value of other things, don't we do them a favour, teaching them to care about good looks? Does caring about good looks exclude caring about smartness and education? Is my observation totally wrong?
I guess it depends which timeline we are talking here.

I can believe it. I expect the sacking was decided at least some days ago. This smacks of trying to stir up some trouble on the way out when you are sure you are going to be pushed but haven't been officially told to go yet.

As a side note (and a snide note), I do find it really quite sweet that in a couple of the pages linked to by the current article they seem to believe TechCrunch has something to do with the concept of professional journalism.

Running an input thread side-by-side only partially solves the problem by simply increasing the chances that a key hit will be detected before the render is completed. Unfortunately, most input detection, by necessity, is done near the start of the render loop. Consequently, the vast majority of the render time will still be spent with most of the inputs locked in, resulting in little to no reduction in input lag. I should also note that windows really, really hates it when you try to do this.
In otherwords: something might happen tomorrow, and it might involve the ouster of Arrington from TechCrunch. But we don't know, and no one is telling us. But we like poking bee hives, so we're going to publish this rant anyway...

Between this and the Carr post from a few days ago (http://techcrunch.com/2011/09/02/crunchfund/), they really do seem totally out of control over there... which is far worse.
and... is that the author: http://www.lisabloom.com/ ? Isn't she pretty?
There are similar studies that tall men get promoted quicker. Girls at least have developed a means to compensate!

"People dismiss creative ideas in favor of ideas that are purely practical -- tried and true."

What about practical, creative ideas, aka. hacks and lifehacks? Most of the people I know dismiss any 'non-standard' solution unless you actually implement it, and then force them to accept it. If you tell your idea before actually realizing it, there's no way they'll let you.

Also reminds me of stories from "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" - it seems that Feynman experienced this first-hand as a child, when trying to optimize some kitchen chores (one of the solutions is now sold in stores, and nobody objects it now...).

Human biology is not that quick to change. It demonstrates a large amount of hubris to even think it should be. Women marry up and across dominance hierarchies. Artificially boosting the career success of women just causes misery on the long run for men and for society.

I thought that the girl in your story was very smart, and even if people had treated her like a pretty doll for her entire life she would still be the same. Intelligent, critical and capable.
Hardware is cheap, software is expensive nowadays. And software was the cause of failure.
You are confusing things that are objective facts about the world (described by 'is' statements) with things that are created by norms (indicated by 'should' statements) which can be changed. That women are seemingly only valued for their looks is a norm that should and can change.
I don't think you'd be doing people a favour by teaching them to accept things that won't make them happy. Do you think that people who don't worry about not being beautiful are less happy than people who do, considering that many (most?) people are not, in fact, beautiful? Do you think the world would be a worse place if more girls wanted to win the Nobel Peace Prize rather than America's Next Top Model?

You can almost see this as testing the limits of the post-Arrington TechCrunch.

If the post is taken down, it will be re-blogged by every other tech pundit from Gruber to Dvorak (hello, Streisand effect.)

If AOL repremands MG Siegler, then everyone will know what happened. Either he'll do another post, or he'll blog about in on his personal blog and it will take off through the bloggeratti. If he's forced into silence, then it will leak out through friends and colleagues.

If AOL ignores it and does what it wants, then the writers at TechCrunch will at least know what they can get away with. It's the Mindsweeper's Dilemma, you can't make any progress among uncertainty unless you take the first step.

MG Siegler probably thought (correctly, I think) that he's not at risk of getting fired and the uncertainty is killing morale.

If he is fired, he knows some other tech blog will snatch him up.

So, it may indeed seem unprofessional, but I give him a lot of credit in trying to "manage up."
OP1-Portable Synthesiser from Teenage Engineering
"Teaching girls that their appearance is the first thing you notice tells them that looks are more important than anything."

But when you see someone for the first time appearances are the first thing you notice... unless you can read minds.

Looks are important. Both men and women keep up appearances. Furthermore, you know how smart you are, and no amount of telling you your appearance is a great asset is going to make you dumber.
How about Intel Sandy Bridge chipsets ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA#Specifications )? Those use classic Mesa right?
The Dark Art of Pricing
For what I can tell AOL were quite happy with it when it wasn't widely reported (or they were to thick to notice it, or the board just OKed its investment into the fund without any due diligence checks at all - lack of due diligence being the most likely explanation as generally ignorance trumps stupidity and stupidity trumps malice).

They backtracked when other outlets got hold of the story and started talking about it. The people being back-tracked on, and their friends & partners, are not happy. As a result several prams now contain less toys than they once did.
Kudos for being so open. I was always impressed how open and truth commited these guys actually are. And like most people I love that.

But I also think this article reads a little naive. Probably AOL has other plans for the future. Probably since before they acquired Tech Crunch. All that is and never was about the community or the company. Maybe they wanted to buy the talent Arrington. Maybe they just wanted to shut them up. But I think activating the community now will not help at all. If they are together in a VC fund with Arrington they maybe bought him off to help him let TC die. It's exactly what I would do, if I wanted to kill them (and if I would have the money, of course). First buy the company, make Arrington more rich. Tell everybody nothing changes. Wait until everybody calmed down. Then try to motivate Arrington to do something else and give him some more cash to do it. Then wait a little more. Then turn off the lights and close the doors.

edit I see someone disagreed with that. Why not argue instead of downvote? I really would appreciate your opinion. (Leave the downvote, that doesn't matter. I only want your thoughts!)
Quite a few OS X games, particularly the ones from very large companies, use a DirectX wrapper, like Cider. While they are technically running on OpenGL, the coders wrote DirectX
"The design allows you to pick a tab and then scan its contents to see commands that apply to the task you’re trying to accomplish."

? That is learning where the command lives, you just happen to be comfortable with the places you should look first.
Domain registration != DNS hosting

I continue to be amazed at how many startups (and other companies, high profile individuals, etc) rely on GoDaddy for their DNS rather than having a properly managed DNS hosting as part of their web-hosting solution.

DNS tacked on to domain registration is a throwaway after thought - certainly for GoDaddy, regardless of whether this 'blackout' is true or not.
The problem for Intel is not so much that they can't make a competitive chip, but that they can't make one at margins that will sustain their fabs.
> Fully 95 percent of these managers failed to recognize that progress in meaningful work is the primary motivator, well ahead of traditional incentives like raises and bonuses.

I find this especially striking, considering how taking part in producing excellent products employees can be proud of and take ownership in is one of the key aspects in the quality management philosophy coming from Japan / W.E. Deming - and these philosophies should be sufficiently popular and known in the western world by now since they are very typical management training material.
