Then you'll love http://www.viemu.com/ .... There are so many good things to say about ViEmu that it's hard to know where to begin. I've been a happy ViEmu customer for about three years now. Best $99 I've ever spent, hands-down.

Maybe it will suffice to say: "VisualAssist + ViEmu = <3". They synergize so incredibly well together.

Someday I should record a video of me coding C++ in Visual Studio. In the last 4 days alone, I've written 8,700 lines of C++. No way could I have done that without my precious ViEmu / VAX templates / custom hotkeys. (It's rare to ever need to touch the mouse, which is pretty fabulous.)

At this point, I write systems as fast as I can think, not type.
Wonderful little app. I would actually spend some time going through it if I wasn't at work. Speaking of which, is there any process put in place to filter the sites people input?
That's doable, the pages already accept parameters that can override the data period, I'm just not using them at the moment. I'll add it to my todo list.
I use Google+, but not as much as Facebook or Twitter, and the reason is the mobile app isn't that good.

I do my social networking on the go, and I use Tweetdeck to keep everything in one place. Until Tweetdeck gets Google+ integration, I can't be bothered to open up another app...

What I do use Google+ for is pictures. The background upload is great and I like that Google+ doesn't seem to compress pictures.

That said, Google+ needs to differentiate itself by integrating with more Google apps, most notably Google Docs...
N^(1,000!!!!) is P but you need a rediculusly large number before 2^(N) is worse (N >= 2). Generally N^5 is about as far as you want before you can do anything with 3 digit numbers.
I was about to upvote you despite your overly aggressive presentation. However, I then saw that you are a new account with the name "econlessonbitch", which gave me pause. There are certainly some times when a throwaway account is valuable on HN, but I don't think this is one of them. Also, there's currently no concept of a "novelty account" here, a trend I think is worth continuing.

That being said, there were parts of your post that are spot on. I'd appreciate it if you stuck around, but I would give a second look to your persona.
Considering how precious bandwidth is on mobile networks, the lack of adblock is killing me. I don't understand why the mobile OS makers wont open up a browser API for plugins. I guess I can root it and put in a giant hosts file that blocks ads, but that seems that it could lead to issues. I browse full-sites, not mobile, on my tablet, so when I use 3G, I'm still downloading large animated gif ads and other useless bandwidth hogs.

I have an android tablet and an android phone. I rarely use flash, but when I do its when there's no alternative. It works crappily, but it beats sitting there and thinking "Oh well, I better go find a desktop."

It is _really_ hard for someone straight out of college (as Angela was) to say "no" to a pile of legal boilerplate that probably will never be enforced. Practically everyone does it. Not doing it "marks" one as somebody who might make trouble, even if the employer isn't mean/persnickety enough to ever try to enforce the non-compete.

At least the company doing the suing is getting some negative publicity for it. What a jerk.
It's funny how when Apple did this with the iPad the cries of "no flash!" were deafening. Now "it is a good decision."

In Russia they have a wood stove which generate energy this way:
http://www.termofor.ru/prod1.php?id=27

But it's power is only 50Wt (at 12V) so you can charge your mobile phone, or use some notebooks and thats it.

The price is around $1000 and the stove uses thermo-elements only on one wall, I hope that progress with silicon thermo-elements will lower the price of this device.

Timing isn't a factor when you are there all the time. Check in with a potential client every 6 months. They may say no 9 times and then say yes on the 10th, because the timing is now right.

I don't really understand Dropbox's strategy. As a service, Dropbox does one thing pretty well – syncing data so that users can get a more or less seamless online/offline experience using data that's shared on multiple devices.

However, sharing a Dropbox with other people is a disaster. Anyone can delete or change anything in a shared volume. No access control is offered at all. All invited users are treated as fully trusted users by default.

I suppose you could use the API to roll your own access control, but it baffles me that the default sharing defaults to such a potentially disastrous setting.

Their documentation claims its because it's impossible to retain cross-platform access control settings, but that seems wrong – why not just verify access via the Dropbox app layer instead of trying to embed permissions metadata at the OS layer?

Nib looks interesting but it's hard to know as there aren't any docs I could find.

For example does it help with border-radius for IE pre-9 or do I still need something like CSS3 PIE for that?

Well overall they changed it once. I know a lot of websites that have made huge changes several times.

A prolific writer is in a better position to make a killing but bad user reviews may eventually put an end to it.
A big difference from the past is that self-pubbed authors can receive up to 70% of the sales whereas they would get 10% or less with legacy publishing. This greatly reduces the threshold of success (if measured as being able to live off writing).

I totally agree with you for myself, but in order to make a more general point I'm going to have to to point out that people not destined to use vim as their primary editor can get away with doing the exact opposite. That is, they're almost always in insert mode and only briefly go to normal mode to change something.

The really important thing with any modal interface is that you have one primary mode which you only leave to accomplish a task and to which you return as soon as the task is done. Even emacs has modes in that you're sometimes, say, doing an incremental search. The important thing is that when you're done you're dropped back to the usual mode by default.

For more on the theory of modal interfaces, see here:

Thanks for the advice. Since first posting I've come to a mutual agreement with the company whereby I have left in order for me to find a role that allows me to further my software engineering skills.

Right now I'm in between jobs and looking for another position in the startup scene. I love the culture and I have a passion for learning. If anybody is able to point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
I do love that quote and I find that it's true that customers don't know what they want. But what that quote tells us is that the customer's problem is speed. That is the value of talking to customers, not asking them what they want, but learning what their problem really is.

What about google+ hangouts ? It's new , it's fun, and maybe even radical (may make video chat popular).

It could easily be the new social: With it's currently addictive quality , plus more video content , plus social games.

But it has a few issues:

1. Scaling - it's to scale hard at the google level, maybe even hard to scale at the isp level (depending on demand).

2. High cost - it needs a different business model than the usual google adwords/data-mining models.

3. Hangouts could be a usefull asset in their fight for the tv and tablet markets. So opening it up depends on other considerations.

So maybe the current google+ is just an experiment(to test scalability and user response) and that's the reason for the limiting invite process and the lack of advertising .But when all the pieces we'll be ready they'll launch in full scale.
I had a similar response to the article, but I can see at least one reason why this explanation doesn't fit. Despite any inclinations we may have P vs. NP is still unsolved. So, claiming that a problem is in NP is "easy to check but hard to solve" is not necessarily true (if P == NP, it is both easy to check and to solve).

The original article does a good job of not making this assumption, and because of this gains the ability to pose the question:

> Many people want to know if there are any NP problems that are not P Problems

"A single AWS instance is not reliable, and isn't designed to be particularly reliable."

Source?

An AWS instance is simply an OS running on a virtualf (xen?) machine. On the largest instances you may in fact be the only virtual machine on the physical hardware.

Why would you feel more comfortable running a single instance outside of AWS? Your safety is just an illusion. Your MTTR is out the window. When you go down, youll have an outage that goes like this: "we'll be back in a day or two when I order new hardware and drive it to the colo. Also, the database will be time warping to the last backuP 24 hours ago."

Running on a single machine is never safe and AWS is cheap enough and comes with enough tools (ELB, RDS, maybe EBS) to allow you to become truly redundant and single fault tolerant.
Absolutely, but I'd say that the idea of brute-forcing the entire universe - while theoretically and mathematically sound - goes against the spirit of what we're trying to express with Big O. Solutions like these work in a theoretical universe with infinite matter and possibly over infinite time, but if the world is indeed finite (which it may very well be) any Big O expression containing the sum of all states of all atoms in the universe does contain a practical infinity.

I've been using their API and I have to say it has to move slightly faster if that's to happen. As they've said in the announcement, it's been a year since the last update. Admittedly my app is not a realization of their vision per se -- mine is a Dropbox client, not an app using Dropbox as storage -- but the API is the same.

Good updates though, ability to get a share link, search results. Both are features that users of my product have been asking for.
When you take statements out of context, you can use them to prove anything. While I can't directly talk about the Koran (I've been meaning to read it), but I can about the Bible.

You cannot take statements out of the Old Testament without also including the New Testament books. The OT is about setting up history and pretext for what the NT teaches about life. Yes the OT has some very violent stories, but you cannot read through them and say "oh, this is telling ME, TODAY, to be violent". To do so is to say that killing intellectuals is OK today because the Khamer Rouge did it in Cambodia. Or that it's ok to drop a nuke on someone because we did it to Japan. The Old Testament is history and context so that you understand the importance of the coming of Jesus and his teachings in the New Testament, and no-where does Jesus's teaching tell people to take up arms and cause violence.

'The goal of the club was: “Give to help others"'

Why don't we see more companies with goals like this? The "avoid the negative" mottos are the popular thing in Silicon Valley these day (e.g. Google's "Don't be evil" and Facebook's "Don't be lame"). It seems to me that avoiding evil or lameness does very little to help you avoid other bad things.

A corporate motto like "Pay it Forward" or "Excite the Customer" or "Be Entrepreneurs" or "Hack for Good" seems like one that would benefit a company and the ecosystem it operates in much more.

That she chose to stay in the same industry was her fault

I consider my mind and my skill set as a tool of my trade. If I can't use it freely, I'm a serf. Presumably she wouldn't be allowed to /start/ a company, either.

A cow-orker of mine came to (large software company) from (another large software company), and had expertise in a certain sensitive area. We only found out about this when we asked him the reason he would go silent in meetings on certain subjects. He was under a funky trade-secret non-compete that had been worked out by lawyers, and was gagged for (I believe) five years from having technical input on stuff he was an expert in at the other company.

I don't agree with any of it.

Oh please. You jump through all the hoops during the interview process to get the job and then it comes down to the final part where you have to sign a contract as condition for employment.

This is where the thinking comes in. I've had these contracts before. Fresh out of school, my choices were sign this and take a position in the career I want and studied for or continue bussing tables. The employer loads the contract with enough ominous legal mumbo-jumbo that it can be dangerous for you but not so dangerous that a court would take one look at it and toss it for being very one-sided.

Most people aren't rockstars, they take a job because they need it and it might be the only offer they've received in weeks if not months. There is a huge world of difference between your typical entry level job and your typical C-level, Mark Papermaster type of position. Most people don't have a company like Apple going to bat for them over NCAs.

Like you I've also questioned NCAs and you can make small adjustments if you need to. And if the company wants you bad enough they can strip entire sections. But your typical job just wants a warm body in a world of interchangable warm bodies, make too many waves and they might think it's better to replace you with another warm body.

That's the key here. Variables/abstractions are grasped at the "formal operational" stage of cognitive development. A functional language with concrete elements( e.g table cells ) side steps this requirement. Reduce USEFUL APIs to concrete constructs and it'll be accessible to a lower common denominator.

I worry that you are loading too much meaning to a suit and might be undercutting yourself subconsciously. What does a suit represent to you?

Not wearing proper attire to weddings and especially to funerals might also hurt people's feeling who are close to the deceased or the happy couple. I don't mean that you have to wear a suit for these occasions at all but during these events a proper attire is a sign of care and compassion.

I don't mean to be rude toward the .NET community but I'd have to ask this because it has been bothering my mind a little bit.

Let me begin by praising the CLR and C#. Their latest features are great (both at runtime level and syntax level). But I have not seen something great (or notable) coming out from the .NET communities whether a new library, a new ORM, a new framework, a new paradigm, or even a new tool despite all these cool lambdas, task, linq, etc.

Why is that?

Coming from Java, a language/platform that is considered less superior, where there are tons of good tools like Ant, Ivy, Maven (is NuGet comparable to Maven? or still lagging?), or libraries such as JBoss Netty, JAX-RS, Spring MVC 3.0 (very close to Rails: routes, return XML/JSON depending on request, minus the ORM), JAX-WS (with annotation style programming), EJB 3.1 style programming (which helps a lot!), a few of NoSQL flavours to keep developers busy (Neo4J, Cassandra, HBase), distributed libraries such as Hadoop, I find this situation to be odd.
