If you're wearing a suit at an event where everyone else is wearing t-shirts and other casual dress, then you are the one who is dressed inappropriately. You're communicating that you're either too clueless to understand that, or you that think you're somehow "above" everyone else. (Or, you're Aaron Patterson.)

It's just as disrespectful to wear a suit to, say, RailsConf, as it is to wear a t-shirt and wrecked jeans to your sibling's wedding.
Website Designers
If you cannot entertain the possibility that employees of the company who work with the code in question are telling the truth, and put more faith in a paraphrase by a journalist, then we don't have much common ground to have an intelligent and respectful discussion.

Many large web services, for instance Google's Plus button, appear to work in exactly the same way with logged-out cookies. This is something you can easily test yourself. When asked, these companies make exactly the same statements about how this data is and is not used. All of the speculations in your last paragraph would seem to apply equally, though I personally don't put much credence in them.

So the question is unfortunately not one of facts, but of trust and feelings. Beyond telling the truth as far as I know it there's not much else I can do. FWIW we don't make evil plans down in the old volcano lair.
Sieve of Eratosthenes using PHP/MySQL
Really? I've played around with GNOME Shell a few times, but recently I've been seriously considering using it for my laptop because I would like to get the most real-estate-optimized modern GUI possible on there.

Right now I'm running Pantheon (elementary project's DE) on one partition and i3 (tiling WM) on another, and neither quite seem to feel right -- the former likely because it's very WIP (granted I'm optimistically biased being a core developer of the project).

What specifically have you found advantageous to your workflow with XFCE? What did you miss from GNOME-Shell, and what exactly made you switch?
This is brilliant in its simplicity. It would be very feasible to implement on a single web server, but what are some ways to extend it into a protocol?

If multiple servers mirror an email thread, how does one edit what he has already sent/posted? I think this can be done by using a public key encryption scheme, so that only the person who published it with their key can edit it on the multitude of servers that share this new email protocol.

This is why I canceled my membership in IEEE (and ACM). I believe these organizations have gone beyond their stated purpose, and now exist purely to sustain themselves and their monopolies on conferences.

If we just started boycotting them, they'd crumble in no time.
Loved it, you could really feel the authors pain :)

I always sort of imagined this seat-of-the-pants type behaviour was unique to tiny indie shops & that you grew out of it once you became a 'real business', but I'm sure you'd kick yourself if you blew a big opportunity like that.

Anyway, can we extrapolate from this story and assume that most innovative game studios are geographically situated near vibrantly decorated restaurants?

Adwords Management
Google AdWords is a paid search marketing program run by Google in which you have to pay some amount to Google to list your website on their result pages for a particular keyword. The number of keyword can be one or more than one. The amount charged by Google depends on the number of keywords, their competitions and volume of searches.

Online Customized Paper
This is, I think, misleading. There is nothing unusual about IEEE copyright policies. Requiring copyright assignment is standard procedure for academic journals, with exceptions made for U.S. govt. works. As noted in the last paragraph, the American Mathematical Society bucks the trend (they "suggest", rather than require, copyright assignment), but they are a rarity.

Other than that, we have one person (the IEEE Intellectual Property Rights Manager) who misunderstands the law and does not behave in a very friendly manner.

The above do not strike me as sufficient reasons for singling out the IEEE for blacklisting. If you want, blacklist everyone who puts publicly funded research behind paywalls. Or blacklist no one. But just the IEEE? That doesn't make sense.
Obligatory XKCD, http://xkcd.com/55/

Have to admit, that XKCD sums up the article almost perfectly though.
Here is that article by Joel Stein http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1999416,00....
I wrote a library (30 loc) to handle sequence and parallel flows.

Using only that, I rarely go over 80 character column limit that I impose on myself. There is absolutely zero callback spaghetti whether it's 2 or 25 functions deep in the chain.

Tbh, callback spaghetti only happens to newer async programmers in the same way that a newer programmer will write arrow code with if/else statements.

It's simply not a problem that needs to be addressed other than educating people who are new to node.js with some example tutorials that use an async helper library.
Also a bookmarklet to go to the Google cache of a URL you are currently on:

This is not a problem of the device, though. The scrolling and zooming makes sense as (most) PDFs use A4 page format and PDF cannot be reflowed to other screen sizes, which epub etc can. Unless you generate a PDF with smaller pages somehow, it isn't even possible to display it on a small screen with all the details without zooming/panning.
I've had this same experience at work. I've complained about how ugly some features of our sites are on several occasions, only to learn that they are that way because the ugly (version/size/whatever) performed so much better than the others in our tests.

Other times the differences are subtle but increase the click-through rate by surprising amounts.

I can tell you that Microsoft (and I'm sure the same holds true for Google and others) paid everyone the same, regardless of their visa process. Your financial package negotiation process was completely separate from your immigration status. Companies like Microsoft and Google sponsors a lot of visas because they try to find the best engineers, wherever they may be and then get them here.

It seems like gnome-shell is trying to do something new with the way I manage running applications. I also miss being able to switch to workstations using the arrow keys and creating and deleting workstations on the fly messes with my workflow anyway, I usually delegate workspaces to different tasks or projects.

XFCE is lightweight and is more in line with how I think. I'm used to a taskbar, application menu, precreated workspaces and icons on the desktop. Could I use gnome-shell for everyday work? Yeah, but I would really be happy with the features above too. I just don't see why I should give up my established workflows.

Unfortunately, this does not solve the problem that many hackers that I know have. They would have no trouble selecting between a number of different applicants/candidates - they are having trouble with generating "deal flow" in the first place, a.k.a actually meeting women.

They work 40-90 hours a week in an insular, male-dominated industry. Where do they get the time and the energy to get the exposure to hone the skillset that enables talking to women?
It's politically charged but has little meaning. "They hate us for our Freedom" and "They hate us for being American" are virtually synonymous.

Yeah, right now I'm running Windows 7 on my desktop which is used only every now and then and my laptop is running Arch with XFCE. Have you taken a look at the fallback mode on Gnome 3? I tried it and it brought back the features I was used to but just the idea that it was a fallback mode was kinda unappealing, what makes the mode any worse off than gnome-shell?

2 Compact Cameras Move Closer to Perfection
It's obvious that IEEE wouldn't accept such papers. Like any publisher, its business model is based on ownership of copyright. So this is a bit of a tempest in a teacup.

Instead, let me offer a more interesting factoid: to the best of my knowledge, in the United States, and probably in certain other countries, there is no such concept as a private individual dedicating a publication to the public domain.

Documents fall in public domain when the owners' copyrights have expired. For the federal government, the expiration is immediate. For everyone else, there is no legal mechanism for hastening a document's copyright expiration. [This is why it's foolish to "put software in the public domain". You haven't actually done anything at all.]
Not if you operate a free help desk, a support web site, etc.
Amazon estimated to lose $50 per Kindle Fire sold
After serving as founder, co-founder, or early equity hire for a few startups over the years, I now work a straight job at a stable, decades-old company, doing mainly programming and IT stuff.

There are nice things about it. It's great to be able to completely push work out of my mind. Barring extreme emergency, I refuse to even think about work when off the clock--that's what work hours are for.

In the shower, I think about how the hot water feels on my neck. In my spare time, I make things that I am utterly not good at making, and never will be (e.g., homemade furniture). I don't mentally evaluate every dinner out with my wife against what I could be doing with that time.

That certainly isn't how it was when I was running my own startups.

A relatively generous and reliable salary is also a boon, especially as I plow through my fourth decade of life and start doing things like buying a house and producing offspring.

Having said all that, I'm almost certain to try another startup (or two? three?) in the future.

But it is refreshing to take a decade (or two? three?) and focus on other things.

Funny, I can't get enough of it. It's rough around the edges probably because I'm running from the Gnome PPA on Ubuntu Natty, but the way it manages windows on multiple desktops is like nothing I've seen. It makes so much more sense. To each their own I suppose. Isn't there an option to go back to the traditional desktop?
My guess is everything is secure, but they are terminating the SSL connection, using a private cert to talk to the clients, and then passing along the information about the original cert. If they didn't do that, they wouldn't be able to optimize much since they couldn't read the content. They would also need a private IP address for every user (impractical), because the HTTP headers get encrypted as well and Amazon wouldn't know where to direct incoming traffic w/o using unique IPs.

Hi schraeds! email sent. :)
Actually the whole H1B is a problem for a lot of immigrant workers. Some people I worked with at my previous employer were contracted through Patni. Patni employs foreign workers to companies (mainly Indian) and takes a cut of their pay. Once their visa is up(5 years I think) they have to go back to India for at least a year then re-apply. Also, when they sign contracts with Patni, they sign a non compete where they cannot be hired by the company they work for, cutting Patni out.

Its really a sad thing, and although the people I spoke with were happy to have good jobs in America, they were resentful that even if they worked hard, they couldn't get hired on permanently.
IANAL but I've felt that craigslist's insistence on other sites from being able to use their data or submit data into their site constitutes a monopoly. At the very least they have been a bad stewart of a very useful and under-tooled set of important data.
That's true. There are also several instances where wage rate unit (monthly, weekly, hourly, bi-weekly or yearly) is set lower than it should, like $6k/hour when they mean $6k/month.

This reeks of a heavy east coast banker/lawyer mindset. That somehow you have to fit in and play by the rules in order to be a good employee. That if you aren't dressed above business casual you aren't capable or worthwhile enough to be considered. I can't tell you how happy I am to be out of that world.

Now, that being said, if you expect to go into a business meeting with a government or enterprise client you had better not roll into the meeting in flip flops and a t-shirt if you expect to win their business. But that is a far cry from having to dress up to some old fashioned standard every day.

Basically, there are two worlds when it comes to business. There's the old, entrenched, formalized business world and the new, scrappy, meritocratic startup world and you need to know how to float between them as necessary to be successful.

I don't think there should ever be a scheduling item for 'code quality' (and related activities) in any software development planning/management cycle. If software developers want to be treated as proper engineers at some point in time, we should start implementing quality as a default, not as an afterthought.

Therefore it stands to reason that 'code quality' should always be baked in when estimating software tasks, same goes for any other related and required development activity.

You have never used jQuery and like your made up statistic also have no idea what you're talking about. jQuery has never been more popular and HTML5 will only increase its popularity.

Hi, thank you for advice! The problem with android apps and any other kind of online business is that we don't have proper banking system here. So it's very hard to receive money. We tried to establish a local system similar to paypall here, but couldn't convince the govt in legitimacy of the service. Business people here are considered those, who go to nearby countries, buy some stuff, come back and sell it for a greater price, benefiting from the difference. Anything more complex than that is considered dangerous/meaningless. Words like stock and investment are associated with fraud and lottery. So working for one international company here might be the right choice for now.
So instead of spaghetti code (a tangled mess) it now is macaroni code (small pieces of code everywhere, with unclear execution flow)? :-)

At least that's my experience with structuring asynchronous event-driven programs (without coroutines).

I'm not sure how a "factoid" can be prefixed with "to the best of my knowledge," but here is some cold hard fact for you:

A work can enter the public domain via expiration or forfeiture.

EDIT: A bit of clarification. Some people get confused because copyright actually affords you two different sets of rights: Economic rights, which everyone is pretty much on the same page about (once your work is in the public domain you can't charge for it later). You also get moral rights (right to attribution, right to maintain the integrity of you work, etc). These rights vary wildly by jurisdiction, but are rarely the ones that get argued when a work is in the public domain.

Because there is no action -> consequence chain in that phrase. All you have to do to see this is make the private information involuntary -- not the result of an action. The canonical case is not some horrible thing you might have done that you want to keep private. The typical case is something out of your control that you don't want everyone to know.

My argument is not that the subsequent phrase about putting things on the internet is false. It's not. That has a consequence. My argument is that the quote includes two basically unrelated parts and the statement about putting things in reach of google is only one part of it.

When people say the first phrase was taken out of context, I know they apologizing for google, whether they realize it or not -- because it wasn't taken out of context. It's obviously how Eric really feels -- and I think it shows how incredibly dangerous it is to trust people who have no obligation to you with your information.
1. re: Public Domain

Let's see:

a) random person on the internet (SeanLuke) says you can't dedicate your work to Public Domain

b) Creative Commons, which has a staff of lawyers, including very prominent and respected Lawrance Lessig: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Public_domain, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain

2. re: "obviousness". There's nothing "obvious" about IEEE's greed. The stated goal of IEEE is http://www.ieee.org/about/index.html:

"IEEE is the world’s largest professional association dedicated to advancing technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity. IEEE and its members inspire a global community through IEEE's highly cited publications, conferences, technology standards, and professional and educational activities."

The "obvious" thing, consistent with their stated mission would be to try to disseminate useful information to the largest number of people, like, say, Wikipedia or Khan Academy.

It's sad and shameful that they put profits above "advancing technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity".
How's it mind boggling that a single SPDY connection to a distributed network that has nearly unlimited bandwidth and computing power would be faster than having a mobile device negotiate its own connections?

Even if it was just a proxy for resources it would be way faster, but they gain the benefit of knowing what resources are needed based on past events and likely already having them cached. Not to mention all the sites that will be local to AWS.

I wrote something up above, but the gist is -- you don't have to do anything to have something you want to hide.
On the other hand, I'd much rather a client pitch a great idea that's technologically infeasible than just come up with something spur of the moment that they deem possible. If you start the conversation at, "This mechanic may not be possible, but the rest of the game is great," then you can discuss how to change the mechanic or maybe an engineer will have some brilliant insight about how to do the impossible. At the very least, you're starting with your best and working towards the technological compromise rather than starting with something that's already a compromise and may not reflect your best thinking.
