Building the computer from scratch isn't insanely hard. Writing the OS and TCP stack is, though.

(I have done some of bth as part of degree at CMU, but not at the same time. Had to write a multitasking OS, no networking, and then separately design and build a machine from not-quite discrete components - we used 290x bit-slices and PALs.)

Ah, I was only looking at the white model. You're right, there was a unibody model with a 9400M at that time, too.
I think it's a much better than a monopoly on force, which is a moral hazard that will always be abused. We'd be much better off with a free market of law enforcement and courts, like with anything else.
Good observation, I think that's exactly what we're seeing.

It's an interesting balancing act that can sometimes go against the very grain of tech companies, especially one the size of Google. Everything we as mere mortals in the tech business are taught is to try things, fail quickly, iterate.

Jobs approach was to do a few things and do them well. Indeed, he felt the most important thing one could do, as an agent of change in that type of role, was to learn to effectively say no. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FF-tKLISfPE

Page has always been very smart and a phenomenal software engineer, but his new role is different. I believe Page finds himself in a somewhat similar position to Jobs in 1997, and it will be very interesting to see how he does as a technology leader.
But surely, it will curb the activities of those involved, which should be the number one priority.

Sorry, you're right, some thinks may not to be clear:

1) the CEO-Sales manager is one of the founders (he is doing both functions).

2) the other founder is the product development manager and lead developer, and the advisor is proposing the new position to report directly to the CEO. The new role of the CTO will be to take care of supporting the sales, channel, hardware connectivity and architecture.

4) 95% is own equally by the founders, the advisor has the rest (5%).

5) Fight for hiring someone to take care of supporting the channel and let me act as a CTO in charge of determing product roadmap and funcionalities.

Thanks!

(as I see it) Tumblr is/was kind of a clean 4chan, some memes/internet traditions, even some real world may get started there, or start in NY and get exposure there. Same with Twitter, same with anywhere you call good one year and bot infested a subsequent year.
"For linux, the US$7-800 core i5 toshibas and HP laptops at Costco work pretty well, except for wifi on the Realtek chip set."

Keyboards: Lenovo E350 (AMD) and Dell dell XPS L502X were ok in the shop, but the rest flexed badly when I typed.
Adding things means more things, which means more complexity. Doing so is a net win only if the new things subtract more complexity than they add. To figure out whether they do, you have to consider the system as a whole. That much is clear. Do we know how to do that? Not really. Empirical studies favor the simplest measurement of program complexity: code size. So that part is roughly taken care of. But I don't know of a good definition of "system". What counts as a single system and what counts as separate interacting systems, or subsystems? It's in the eye of the beholder. If I take 90% of a program and call it a library, has my program become 1/10 as complex?

Rich says his definition of simplicity is objective, but it's not. What determines whether a construct has a single purpose? It's whether or not, on inspection, you think it does. S-expressions seem to me to have a single purpose: to group things. How those groups of things are treated by the evaluator is a separate concern. You, following Rich, say no, they have 3 purposes. Ok. Why not 4? A function call and a macro call have different purposes; why conflate those? (I have no trouble reading function calls in s-expressions, but sometimes run into trouble not knowing that they are really macro calls, so this is not a made-up point.)

We have no objective basis for this type of discussion, only emotions and beliefs. Concepts like "readability" are hopelessly relative, but appeals to "ease of future change" are no better; to put it politely, they depend on individual perspective and experience; to put it bluntly, we imagine them.
I've been contracting for +10 years and also get paid for writing specs. But I don't believe in having specs and fix-price contracts.
Either you as the contracter will be spending more time than planned, or you will be driving your customer nuts by discussing one change request after the other.

Agile/Iterative approaches are the way to go for me and writing the spec is part this..
How to Become a Medical Coder
Find something with good documentation, support, community, activity, non-corporate use (corporate use isn't as lively or forward-moving). It isn't so much a past example of some use of what you want, just that they are common. Marco of tumblr says they picked Php/etc because they wouldn't be the biggest user of it, which is something you might want to avoid.
one thing I didn't see mentioned is switching from "if s.find(c) == -1: ..." to "if c in s: ...". I see people do that a lot.

I think this is covered implicitly by the two "Use in where possible" sections. Although as Tim Peter's The Zen of Python states, which is also quoted in the tutorial, "explicit is better than implicit." If people are doing that despite knowledge of the in keyword then I suppose that just proves Tim's point.

Xenophobia is an unreasonable fear of outsiders. The VC community should rationally dislike him because he is driving down the risk adjusted rate of return for VC investment, and backed by an endless supply of funds that traditional VCs have no access to. Of course, startup founders and tech employees should embrace him for the same reason.

As for his character, I don't think he is picked on anymore than Donald Trump. I reserve the right to make jokes about both of them.

1) I can do all of that with iOS keyboard as well, and very conveniently. I am not sure why you feel you need Swype to do that. Perhaps because the size of android phones is larger.
2) Ok, I agree that is powerful -- but I don't need it, but my wife and almost all friends have iOS5, so iMessage can serve me without checking whether they are "online". Overall, I see it provides value, but really my home screen estate is precious and i am not sure if I have place to keep contacts there. Anyway, I give a small plus point for Android here -- but its a philosophical difference -- android is for power-user or for making the phone feel like a computer with lot of flexibility, (which it is really not, and most people don't want it to be), iPhone is for making a pleasant appliance-like experience, not as powerful and flexible as a computer. It is intentional.
3) I am happy with the stock and weather widget in pull down notifications. I don't want to use my iPhone as a computer.
4) What if you actually wanted to change the ringer volume when you are using the browser?
5) iOS5 has synchronized reading list and synchronized bookmarks.

My 3 year old thought it was cute every time I crashed, so it was also a resounding success at amusing him.
Come now, Paul. Yes, Yuri is smart. But he also has huge sacks of money to throw around, most of which comes from oligarch Alisher Usmanov. Wolff confirms here for the first time (I believe) that "Milner has created a separate fund to invest in international—and especially American—Internet companies, with Usmanov taking the biggest stake."

And we've yet to see any sort of track record for the piles of money Milner throws around, at least the big new money he is spending in America. In what sense is he "successful?"

It's kind of sad, to me at least, the extent to which a sort of amorality has really taken hold in Silicon Valley. It's nice that he's helped your investments out, Paul, but where does Yuri's money come from? Have you looked into him and Usmanov? I mean, the sad thing about Yuri Milner to me isn't that he's an ostentatious outsider, it's that he fits in so darn well in Silicon Valley. I wish this was the sort of place that looked completely alien to someone from Moscow or Wall Street. Every year, it seems that's less and less the case, at least in terms of culture.
The author may not realise how big tumblr is with teens. It's huge, in my community far bigger than Twitter.

Most use it to repost, like and consume. It's the same with Twitter, they got so big in the UK because of celebrities. A lot of people use it to follow celebrities and maybe sometimes tweet them or friends.

NB: It's worth looking, not at unemployment figures, but at employment stats -- what proportion of the population are (a) working and (b) not underemployed in some way. Globally employment is somewhere under 60% on average; in the USA right now it may well be as low as 40% in some parts (recession-hit, with folks working part-time jobs or unemployed).
"Communities" can't do that as effectively as the government can nor are or should these people considered to be guilty unless proven in court.
But voters don't really have any power if all they can do is vote for representatives every two years. This is basically meaningless. They would have much more power if they could choose which police they used, which courts they went to, etc.

The whole Java is too verbose argument is starting to sound like a broken record. With an IDE and tools like ProjectLombok around, you don't need to type much more than most other languages. I code a lot in CoffeeScript and Java and I type less in Java because at least it has static types and code completion. Try renaming a method or variable in CoffeeScript. ;-) ctrl-space (code completion) and annotations are your friends. Obviously Java8 makes the whole argument go away and now that the multi-year stalemate on Java7 is over, we know that Sunacle is focused on getting Java8 out as well.

Anonymous didn't release a list of names, it released a list of pseudonyms which is virtually useless (http://pastebin.com/88Lzs1XR). I presume these people are smart enough not to use the same pseudonym on other services so this list is pretty eminently useless.
Steve Jobs claimed he had “cracked” the code for an integrated Apple TV
The only thing keeping the trolls slightly at bay (such as it is) is that they are forced to do their own prosecution. I think its only a matter of time until the IP lobby wises up and start agitating to pass laws that make patent violations a criminal matter such as they have done with other forms of intellectual property, i.e. trademarks, etc.

Over the years, many of the checks and balances have been eroded and much of modern IP law is a one-sided scam that doesn't work in favour of the market, competition or society as a whole.
All you have to do is read the description of trending to see how people will try to game Twitter:

"Twitter's Trending Topics algorithm identifies topics that are immediately popular, rather than topics that have been popular for a while or on a daily basis, to help people discover the "most breaking" news stories from across the world."

If you want to up your followers, toss a profanity in every tweet. It's that simple.

I understand how law enforcement could work (and in some ways, it does, for example public transport officials that check if you have a ticket), but leaving arbitration to the "free-market" seems far fetched.

Can you clarify?

Timely article, as I recently switched to Sprint with an iPhone (last Sunday actually, after 4 hellish years with AT&T) and a few days ago realized what Arrington did - I could get full Google Voice without a new number!

So far, it's been working well. I mainly just use Google Voice for the voicemail transcriptions (which actually, are insanely useless - they more or less provide a general vague idea of what the person is calling about).

One bug I noticed last night was my wife texted me but it got caught in Google Voice, as I guess I didn't have SMS forwarding turned on. We'll see if toggling that fixes it.

The wealth in hands of all these xUSSR oligarchs (Usmanov etc) was once a social wealth of all Soviet people. It is nice to see this wealth is now being converted 'back to social'. Our Facebook accounts are supposedly worth $100+ already, so it seems like a very clever plot to pay these money back to where they belong. Let's hope Mark will provide payouts for those choosing to close their accounts.
It depends what you consider proficient, I was definitely producing in my job at less than 1 year experience but I definitely feel that I know more now than I did then. I think it takes at least a year of solid experience to get to the point where you can really be reflective about what you do and to understand writing clean, maintainable code. (and every year from then on out just adds more of this) For someone who is motivated, as I was, its fairly reasonable to be able to start producing with only a few months experience, to where you can make things that work, just that the solutions you come up with may not be as elegant as they could be and the code may be messy. It takes time to get that extra sense when coding to use best practices, etc and this is also related to who you work with, the more you can be around more experienced developers, the faster you will progress
You still need the Google Voice app to check (and be notified of) voicemails, right? Google Voice voicemails don't get sent to the native iPhone visual voicemail app, do they?
What if they put your name on the list? To what authority is Anonymous culpable, and what responsibility do they have to vet the names they release?
It makes more sense if you replace the problematic phrase with "bureaucratic authorities." Point being, elimination is elimination.
Not likely. Anonymous isn't a credible threat to them because they have no authority. Anyone whose name is released by them can just say they are the target of a smear campaign by a group of anonymous internet hackers.

Great website for all your virus, computer protecshun needs and recommend Hostgator for your next website hosting company awesome people to work through. Perfect technical support.
Read from the perspective of someone very much still learning to code, this was excellent. I particularly valued the idiomatic comparisons to 'naive' implementations (the kind I would initially reach for). One of the later sections on lazy generation also opened up some new doors for me, and gave me a nice solution to a problem I've been having with a piece of code.
You should be using a standardized code formatter in an IDE to take care of the bracket and spacing issues, etc there's no sense in putting a bunch of effort worrying about something like that. You can take a room full of 10 developers and debate until the end of time whether a bracket should be on the same line or next line, its personal preference and the most important thing is to use a formatter to standardize for your company, you will never get everyone to agree and its a pointless argument. Of course the naming is important but its really a fairly simple concept, just to always use descriptive names, in your example using x as a variable name is an example of NOT doing this
yeah it's not like VC world is full of idiots, most of those guys tend to be smart.

> "you're writing 3,000 word missives slamming one of its detractors?"

There are a lot of people who have trouble with the post in question (including Patrick). Sebastian doesn't seem to go out of his way to write about "detractors" (he's explained why he hasn't deleted the post, so that's ground I won't cover.) But 0x12 was no mere "detractor"; he put a fair bit of effort into stirring the pot, and it clearly got to Sebastian. I think he was pretty honest about it in this post:

"it’s probably some mix of not being centered enough, taking things personally, being a little vain and self-important, and all sorts of other neurotic undesirable personality traits."

So the question is, is that healthy? Or, perhaps a better question is, how do you redirect that energy in a healthy way? Sebastian took the time and energy to "unmask" Jacques and bash-while-not-bashing him; could he have instead used the frustration of "arguing on the internet" to fuel something more productive?

It's an interesting question. His answer is weak, but the question is good.
