No it would not.
Shaqqs, I do see your point. However I personally believe creating a start-up is more similar to an on-going process and constant dialogue between the founders. It's hard to think about building a start-up as a restaurant menu. I think the last point of this essay by pg explains a lot http://paulgraham.com/founders.html

I don't believe my response was offensive and I agree that the OP is arguing his point within bounds. I just strongly disagree with that point, and as stated, believe it is typical of a non-technical hiring manager instead of an "in the trenches" programmer.

How would you have preferred I phrased my response? I don't think any part is "unnecessarily offensive". It is a forgone conclusion that people on HN don't want to work for big companies, so if he is a hiring manager, he shouldn't be surprised.

Yeah, I got stuck with this when I started out. Cost of living is low where I live and tech jobs were few. The worst part is that companies will use your salary history against you while you're climbing out of this hole.
> The bottom line is that Git's UI assumes you know what you are doing.

I don't agree. Git's UI assumes you know the implementation details and storage model of git.

If you understand what the porcelain does in terms of plumbing, everything "makes sense" (for low values of "making" and "sense"), but in and of itself, without knowledge of the underlying implementation model, Git's porcelain makes absolutely no sense.
Strangely enough, it's impossible to go from either of the drive modes (D & S(Jaguar's "Sport" mode)) to neutral, and vice versa, without almost fully engaging the brakes. Just tapping the brakes is insufficient.

A friend and I attempted to do a "neutral bomb" in my XF but as it's impossible to transition without hitting the brakes, the attempt was a total failure.

Vintage Racing Wheel Paint
We have many paints in our product line that are nearly "exact matches" for all sorts of classic cars. From our numerous Underhood Paints to our Muscle Color Top Coats, and our selection of Wheel Paints, we have most of the paints you need to perfectly replicate OE finishes on your project.
This is a nice devious response. ;)

Let me take a stab at the answer: You can publish unedited, dubiously archived, difficult-to-cite, poorly advertised articles without anonymous peer review for the cost of hosting, right now.
[I am the author of the original article.]

As other commenters have pointed out, PLoS do have costs. What's easy to overlook here is not just the editorial work and infrastructure costs associated with the articles that are published, but also the costs of assessing the articles that are _not_ published -- that don't make it through review.

I'm not necessarily defending the specific price-point they've set, but I do think it's important that they (and other academic publishers) are free to set a price that works economically: then they can compete with each other on price and features, and, presto, we have an actual _market_. Whereas what we have now in academic publishing is largely a cartel.

The great thing about PLoS is that they have shown, and are showing year on year, that you don't in fact need charity to be a successful open-access publisher. All the whining in the world from Elsevier and Springer about how they need to charge absurd access fees -- all that whining is shown to be nonsense by the example of PLoS.

Finally, it's important to note that PLoS offer no-questions-asked full waivers of the publication fee, so that researchers without institutional funding are not discriminated against. They're a non-profit: their basic goal is not to "increase shareholder value" but to help disseminate science.
> But are you asking about having so much computing power in MBA-like slim body? Then answer is - not for some time.

I don't know, removing the SuperDrive (whether they leave a second HDD/SSD rack or not) would make for a lot of room in MBPs, I'd say the drive takes more than 25% of the machine's internal volume, maybe up to 30%.

Having an Air-like "bar" SSD with an HDD/SSD rack on top (empty on base machines for instance) and removing the Superdrive would likely pay for most of the slimming towards a wedge MBP shape.

> There is also second possibility - with rumors of Apple going ARM-only - but even if (and that's pretty big if), we would see Macs with ARM around the time of Haswell introduction.

That may happen for the Air, I don't see it happening for MBP.

It is dragging on a bit, but I object to polls like this more.
Is there no way to call the terminfo API from Ruby? No way to call ncurses?
I'm curious how you'd regard someone with the following on their resume:

1. a decade of military service,
2. a link to a healthy portfolio on github,
3. A couple of years of professional experience as a developer,
3. but only a 2-year degree or coursework for a CS degree.

I'm not in the market, just curious as I weigh my options for continuing school.
Maybe this should and will not scale well. Most of the time the work of an artist does not scale well.
Some algorithms solve a problem by examining solutions to other instances of the same problem. Minimax and quicksort work this way, as do a lot of tree and graph traversal problems. Implementations of these algorithms are inherently recursive, in the sense that you're going to need to say "carry out the whole algorithm again here". You can always fake recursion by creating objects to hold the state of the call graph (or stack, if you don't have continuations), but that's so cumbersome to write or read that you'll quickly be better off in a language that doesn't force you to do it, just as we've now all adopted languages which actually provide functions rather than faking it by saving and restoring variables around GOTOs (I wish I were kidding).

You don't need to write the code to do the geoip lookup until after you've collected enough data to analyse. If hardly anyone fills out the poll, you don't need to write the code.
What is the question again? You end your post with two Boolean questions, either of which might be construed as being your point.

(and yeah, I don't think this is a good use of polls either - this is Hacker _News_, and if people post stuff about Apple and it gets up voted, then that's because it's of general interest regardless of your, erm... Techno-religion.)

I dropped out not once, not twice, but three times from three different courses; I now make more money than most of my high-school peers, and this only because I WAS DAMN LUCKY to end up in a fairly obscure niche of a very small but lucrative market.

I'll always regret not getting that damn degree, because now I simply couldn't get back "on the rails" if I wanted to: my CV will be dropped by 99.9% of standard employers, no matter how well I might be performing at my current job. My sons (now 2 and 0) will get a university education, may that be the last thing I do.

At the same time, I know people who saw through their undergraduate course in 7 years (not uncommon, in Italy, for hard-science degrees) and that also was not good -- some of them are now damaged in psychological terms, clinically depressed and underemployed. That should not happen.

We're 0% productive most of the time. Sleeping, commuting, meetings, lunch. Adding a negligible amount more for tooling is not really an issue.

I'm essentially dependent on Eclipse when doing Java. It takes me < 1 hour to get it set up the way I like it. For the next 2-3000 hours before I need to set it up again, I will outperform and produce better quality code than anyone using vi or emacs, guaranteed. Sounds like a fair tradeoff to me.

Back when I was on a Civil Engineering path, an elderly engineer said "I bet you don't even know how to use a slide rule, what do you do when the power goes out", to which I responded, "I go home, same as you, unless you've got candles in your desk too, and let's not even get into air conditioning".

Much of the shifting is done in software also; for example on my car I can't go from 'drive' to 'reverse' if I'm driving too fast, and I'm not sure if moving the shift stick into neutral has any mechanical effects or if that too is just a signal to the controller who then (electronically) drives the gear box. Which makes sense I guess from the point of preventing damage, but it does cause the software to become a single point of failure.

Cutting Edge CG Animation with Steroscopic 3D at Imaginar
Graphics created with the help of computers that comprise the manipulation and presentation of images with the help of a computer is referred as Computer Graphics or CG. A process of creating animated images with the help of computer graphics is known as Computer Graphics Animation or CG Animation, however it only refers to that of moving images. It is divided into two main categories i.e. 2D animation and 3D animation.<p>Nowadays with the help of revolutionary cutting edge technological advancement with 3D TV, a complete new concept known as Steroscopic 3D has started becoming an integral part of CG animation. In fact, Steroscopic 3D has bring in yet another wave of technology.

I wouldn't want any 18-year old ricer who thinks that that one update he downloaded from the internet will give him an extra 5 hp but in reality makes the brakes lock up under certain circumstances to be able to upload his own firmware with nothing more than a usb cable.

Having 'read-only' access to source code - maybe, although I'm not sure it would actually make a difference. But anyone being able to upload anything to something that controls 1500 kg of steel at lethal speeds in the vicinity of others, and that the vast majority of people are simply incapable of of understanding, no thanks. This is one situation where I'd rather give up my 'freedom' (for certain contrived definitions thereof) for a modicum of 'safety' (queue the 'deserves neither' quotes).
Intel delayed their next mobile processor revision until March 2012. So I wouldn't expect a new MBP until the Spring.
The main differentiating factor between the Air and the Pro is two cores versus four.

Is your question "when will we have a four-core MacBook Air with the same battery life as the current two-core version"?
That is spot on. But blaming text editors and IDEs is a missed shot. If the author blames the editor I'm temped to think that he himself resources to copy paste because he as his editor to blame.
BMW already does this (others too I guess, I don't know), although not over WiFi, but over a GPRS connection. You pay a yearly fee for data costs, it also transmits data on car health back to your dealer so that they know when to call you to make an appointment for maintenance.
I find 1280x800 for 13'' and 1440x900 for 15'' pathetic. I have a 15'' ThinkPad R60 with 2048x1536, yes, you read that right.

But today not even ThinkPad screens have a good resolution, X220 has a 1366x768 screen. I had a better screen resolution in 1995.

I like MacBooks and ThinkPads from a hardware perspective but I won't buy a new one until they start using higher resolution screens.

The kyey point in that blog post is in the final two sentences: "Dropping out isn’t an accomplishment, any more than money is a sign of achievement. Sometimes, but not always, it’s simply a symptom of success."

Dropping out of college doesn't mean that your startup will be successful, just as having an MBA doesn't guarantee success in business.

won't buy a new one until they start using higher resolution screens.

They have higher resolution screens. My 15" MacBook Pro has got 1680x1050, at the store they'll actually ask you what resolution you want. The only thing I regret is not getting a glossy display (the non-glossy one is way uglier). 2048x1536 is not available though, as far as I know - I don't think I'd have opted for that even if they did, but that's a matter of preference (and eyesight I suppose).

But you're right, 1440x900 shouldn't be the default config for the 15".

I had a better screen resolution in 1995.

Wow, you must have had so much better hardware than me in 1995! ;-) I vaguely recall my flickering 1024x768 workstation from that era, it was monstrous.
They offer optional 1680x1050 glossy or anti-glare 15" screen for $150. I especially like the 1050 part, 16x10 screens are so much better for coding.
