It depends what you mean by industry.

No reasonably qualified electronic engineer would use the Arduino platform in a commercial design. Most managers would laugh at any EE who suggested such a thing. I am not aware of any mass produced (consumer, not hobbyist) product or device which uses the Arduino platform.
In the industry of fashion and art (which I know very little about) many makers/creators/designers are incorporating Arduinos into art installations and fashion items, although from what I understand these are mostly one-off items.
If so, it seems to be a pattern: http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com/2011/08/update-on-a...
"I meant painters, sculpters and the like."

I don't believe there's a difference. All the good graphic designers I know don't only do applied design for clients, they also create "static visual art that is created for the sake of being art". On the other hand, most sculptors I know mostly create statues for banks and local governments.

Having attended art school, I can tell you there is little art free from commerce and it mostly is no good. Having some constraints actually helps the quality of the work.
I had temporarily forgotten about master-slave replication. Thanks for the reminder. And I appreciate your broad points. But I still maintain that you're fooling yourself if you think any of those options is a stand-in for Proper™ database-style persistence. By that I mean some contractual assurance in the software that a change written to a data structure is permanent, to standards comparable to the underlying storage system.

If Redis were a database, I would expect a successful HMSET to generally be available in perpetuity, even if the machine was rebooted immediately after I got the "OK".

Append-only command logs don't solve the problem; replaying a complex series of state transitions is not a viable substitute for the storage of the end result of those transitions. It's computationally correct, and a straightforward implementation, but quickly and easily becomes unacceptably inefficient. I hope that's clear enough that I don't need to provide an example.

Replication is a solution for the problem of network or machine instability, assuming a valid Redis use-case. It doesn't address persistence in the sense of databases. In distributed computing, High-Availability is orthogonal to Persistence.

Periodic background flushes to disk in another thread come the closest to solving the persistence problem, but to get database-class QoS you'd need to trigger on every change (or, say, every second). Obviously this is a bad idea and not what the feature is designed for, which circles back to my main point: Redis is not designed to be a database. If it's operating as a memcached replacement in your stack, great. If it's standing in for authoritative, long-term storage of critical data, it's being misused.

The "this" was "can be a big distraction if you are trying to create something". Or, put more clearly, 12 year old boys need to understand that (1) it is getting time for them to start to take the rest of their life seriously, (2) for that seriousness, it is time for them to get into some hard work learning and doing, (3) being 'creative' eventually is important, and it is not too soon to get started, (4) for this seriousness, getting much involved with females can be a distraction from a little bit with little harm and maybe some benefit up to too much and a lot of harm.

The main issue with WebM is that the player doesn't support all the features that their Flash player does (e.g. advertising and annotations).

And this will not necessarily make the web less patent encumbered. Just like companies extract patent licensing fees from companies making use of Android, companies will probably try to extract licensing fees from companies using WebM. The problem isn't the formats so much as the patent system.
Once again I think my wording rather than my point is the problem - by "created for the sake of being art" I didn't mean in terms of whether there was monetary gain for the artist, I meant how it is to be used.

You create a website, your aim isn't generally to have people stand around and admire the art, that's a side effect. (And sure, sometimes maybe it's the strongest influence when a designer is making a website, but it isn't meant to be - it's meant to be a part of making something functional).

My first intuition was that you could somehow write a binary search with two pointers throwing about half of the array away each time. I ran into issues with this train of thought because there might be duplicates in the array or the array might be all the same number.

My second thought was just do a linear search and if you happen to find the pivot, store it, and make the array sorted. Subsequent calls therefore would result in a binary search.
I don't know how probable it is that South Korea has the capability to mint bogus Google certificates.

Eh. OK let's say instead of just SHA-256'ing the plaintext data to derive a key you do 50,000 bcrypt rounds. Then the client encrypts the plaintext, hashes the ciphertext, and sends the hash to the server. If it takes 0.5 s to generate a single bcrypt key, it would take about 1,500 years to find a single credit card number.
While I agree with Sriram's overall point in this post, I think your comment shows there is another point Sriram is making (but not explicitly):

Have a plan, but know that no plan survives first contact with the enemy.

Planning/strategy sessions can be very, very useful in helping to form a plan early on. They expose ideas and roadblocks and hard questions. They are a MEANS to an end and that END is NOT a strategy. It's a set of hard problems, ideas to pursue, and a framework for making decisions (and sticking to them) that is the END.

So don't take Sriram's advice too literally. He's not saying "Don't plan". He's not saying "Don't ever think about strategy". What he's saying is, like everything in life, do it with moderation.
i would argue your point a different way. i think it is one of two things:

1) web development is where the jobs are, right now. below average and average developers will (or have to) follow the jobs and the money.

superior developers are already making top dollar and/or are already in a job they enjoy, so they don't really need to move. my company is hiring like crazy right now for web developers and we can't seem to find intelligent/qualified employees anywhere, though we know they're out there.

2) some jobs are just straight up difficult to do. and i don't just mean difficult as in "it takes intelligence to do this job". there are mentally "easier" jobs that some people just do not want to take because of the demands of the job. being smart perhaps makes them easier to do, and being so difficult these jobs tend to command higher salaries. so the smart people tend to filter into these positions.

that is typically why you'll see extremely smart people making a ton of money in niche industries, in my opinion.

in large industries, the smart people usually get promoted out of hands-on coding positions, or they're tougher to spot from the outside looking in because of various other reasons.
Nice work. I like how it all stays declarative in the CSS too.

I would recommend outsourcing your parsing though. It's a tough job and things like CSS hacks can really take your regexes for a loop.

I'd recommend trying out http://glazman.org/JSCSSP/ or https://github.com/nzakas/parser-lib/tree/master/src/css which Nicholas uses for CSSLint.

These sorts of sites are hard, because you really need to have a steady flow of traffic to make them interesting for anyone. These sites will typically have a way to ping their users when there's something interesting on the site instead of requiring them to sit around and wait.

Also, you'll have to work really hard to make sure the site attracts people stay as long as possible... maybe with some game element involved.

Maybe when the site is dead, users can be contacted and meetings arranged out-of-band. Or arrangement specific times when users can come to the site for a specific reason or event. I'm really not sure. :(
To an extent, even Apple practiced the do first, plan later methodology of thinking. They were never planning on going from ipod -> touch screen iphone. As I recall, Steve Jobs has said that he was working on the iPad before the iPhone and thought damn, this would make a hell of a cell phone.

Hell, I don't think a strategy session came up with the app store, It was just a creation that fit the moment.

It's a huge shame that none of the existing ARM Cortex M3 Arduino-like platforms (Maple, Corduino etc.) ever took off. While this is mostly likely because of the projects not being officially endorsed by Arduino, it does also make you wonder if there is actually a demand for this higher level of capability. I have a bad feeling that offering a much more powerful Arduino will only result in people writing more inefficient code.

Moving into ARM territory was always inevitable for Arduino, it has just taken a little longer than it should have, because Atmel were a little behind the curve in getting their Cortex M3 offerings onto the table. What does surprise me is that it has taken this long for Atmel to step in and offer some support to Arduino.

He mentions homomorphic encryption, but isn't that more for changing data, not searching it?
So I can encrypt a file, upload it, and if someone else encrypts the exact same file... they can decrypt my uploaded file? I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this.
What about insulin resistance? Do people with high insulin resistance have less of an effect from sugary snacks?

Nope. The dopamine response from eating sugar is completely independent of the insulin response. Unfortunately people with type 1 diabetes still get a dopamine response from eating candy and don't get one from injecting insulin -- life would be so much better if those were reversed!
It's for performing any function on the data. A search is a function which takes the data as input and returns the search results as output.
I evaluated JSCSSP (didn't know about Parser-lib), but was trying to keep the file size down to a minimum.

Though perhaps not the most robust, the library I'm using now (http://bililite.com/blog/2009/01/16/jquery-css-parser/) seems to work fine with all of what I've thrown at it. It is also, by far, the smallest of the three CSS parsing libraries (14kb vs JSCSSP's 165kb).

Like most of Gladwell's ideas, it falls apart under the least examination. Consider a neurosurgeon. Perhaps after ten thousand hours of surgery she was an expert in surgery. But perhaps only a quarter of that time was spent performing neurosurgery. Does that mean she's not an expert neurosurgeon? Perhaps, then, after ten thousand hours of neurosurgery she has become an expert neurosurgeon. But maybe only 5% of that time consisted of excising glioblastomas from the anterior cingulate cortex. Does she need to spend ten thousand hours doing ACC glioblastomectomies in order to be an expert at that task?

In short, because what we normally mean by "tasks" or "fields" can be broken down into smaller tasks or fields, the statement is self-contradictory if they mean what they normally means. But if we search for a definition of "task" that makes the statement true, we can trivially find a circular one: a "field" is something that a talented person can achieve mastery of in about ten thousand hours of practice.

Once reformulated that way, it becomes clear that this is not a statement about human expertise or expert performance, but about the economic structure of current society, and in particular our degree of specialization: most people (within the professional class Gladwell finds interesting, anyway) work in jobs that require about ten thousand hours of focused practice by a talented person to reach mastery.

(I should point out that this occurred to me when I saw Jeff Fox (RIP: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.forth/browse_thread...) claiming that the research Gladwell summarized meant that you needed about ten thousand hours of programming in Forth to be good at programming in Forth, so you shouldn't put too much stock in the opinions of experienced programmers who didn't have much Forth experience.)

Once stated this way, we can formulate interesting hypotheses about the cause: perhaps when a field starts to require substantially more than ten thousand hours of practice to master it, its practitioners start to specialize in a part of it, so that they can reach mastery sooner.
All the homomorphic schemes I've seen do addition and/or multiplication. Is there one that does substring matching, or can you somehow use addition and multiplication to search?
How would I know the hash? I'd have to save the individual key(hash) for every file I upload?

Also, if I wanted to know if you had a specific file (and I had access to all your encrypted files) this would be trivial, correct?

You questioned PG and LISP in one comment then advocated another language with a lesser Nerd Lore Composite Score. About the only thing you could have done worse is to admit you wrote a child porn site in both and found LISP's parentheses to be annoying. :-)
Quick note: In your header line, remove the "s" in "any devices".

The design isn't bad. It's simple and straightforward. There's nothing special about it and it's not going to turn any heads. There's not much content and I don't think you could present the information much better than you already do. I'd consider making your call-to-action (beta signup) a little more obvious. And maybe move the "login with dropbox" to the top and make it less "in your face". You want new signups to be top priority.

I don't like that I have to keep my music in the Public folder. I think Dropbox might not like this on my account because they will perceive this as sharing my music publicly. How do you intend to handle this? Do you think this could be in a private folder instead?

I don't think I'd necessarily go for this. My reason is probably something you should be concerned about as well. As cloud services become more prevalent, and online music streaming services do a better job of managing large catalogs, users will no longer need to maintain a large library for themselves. This is my scenario.

While I'm a self-proclaimed audiophile, I've retired my MP3 collection some years back in favor of services like Pandora, Grooveshark, Spotify, and Amazon MP3 which do a decent job.

If you're going to continue developing this product, I'd focus on finding something to differentiate yourself in a big way. Hope this advice helps. :)

I would argue that there is a huge market for people living in Arizona that can't get to any of those high end stores without flying there that still buy 'high end' fashion. The market is fit 34 year old doctors making 300k that don't live near such stores it's really poorly catered to. When a catalog sell 5,000$ dresses based on pictures that look nothing like the customer that's just ripe for disruption over the web.

You could also do the same thing for the mass market, but I don't think the average American really wants to see someone that actually looks like them trying on the clothes. Granted, there are main stream markets other than fat that this could work just fine, baby clothes, teens, big and tall etc.
The Best Damn Article Marketing Tip, Period
Agreed. Also, it really just is a micro-controller. From what I understand the internal ram and flash plus all the other special functions (SPI, UART, ADC) are what make a micro-controller a micro-controller while a MPU or CPU have data and addressing buses used to talk to external devices. Micro-controllers incorporate a bunch of common functions into them that a CPU or MPU would need to talk to an external device for (while micro-controllers tend to lack said external buses).

I believe that the encryption will encrypt to the same signature everytime. So, if someone else uploads the same encryption file, they just point your file to someone else's same encrypted file.
Programmers beware! You need to be especially careful with converting geodetic lat/lon/alt coordinates to and from other systems, particularly with the Earth-centered, Earth-fixed system (basically a Cartesian x,y,z coordinate grid). Do it incorrectly, and you might find yourself buried under several meters of dirt ;)

All too often I've come across code that started out by assuming a spherical Earth (wrong!) or trying to compensate by multiplying by a factor to adjust for the oblation (still wrong!). Doing this calculation accurately is very much non-trivial and still a topic of active research in geodesy.

Fortunately, there's libraries to do the hard work for you:

I think the way the setup in the advert is achieved legally (ie not foul of COPPA laws) is that the father owns the account and then will hand it over to his daughter at a later date (eg when she is 13, thus COPPA doesn't apply).

Therefore to apply logic to the situation, if you created a Google+ account for the email address you would enter your own age as you are (currently) the legal owner of the account.

But I agree, it's pretty clear the marketing department used some artistic license with their ad.
NASA's Dawn Collects a Bounty of Beauty from Vesta
What I'm trying to say is this: it's not about a "match" between the product and the potential consumer.

The who, what, and how of the recommendation matter almost as much as the product itself. Just the fact that I know this recommendation came from a human counts for something, especially if it's a human I trust or respect when it comes to fashion (not necessarily a friend).

e.g., a celebrity wearing a shirt and having it sell out the next day.

Movies are different because their consumption isn't inherently conspicuous. I do it alone and talk about it with friends if I choose, but everyone sees the clothes I wear no matter what.

For example, I can choose to hide the fact that I love Katy Perry, but I can't hide the fact that LVMH made my handbag.

How you dress is a performance, and so the decision to wear something is filtered more rigorously through a social dimension than watching a movie or listening to a song is.
