Curious why you think that? Every programmer?

What does learning C provide that other programming languages (majority of which have some basis in C) don't teach you?

Memory management (allocation, pointers, etc)?
Pipes and buffers?

They are present in other languages, and one could argue with memory management why 'every' programmer must learn those techniques even if they are never really applicable to them.

I'm really trying to think back to my C days (I haven't done it in a long time) as to why it is so important to know? What is unique about it?

Is aggregating by username (or name) some public data, and then publishing it on the internet, something that should be limited? I'm probably biased - on a much smaller scale, that's something I'm doing too on hashtagify.me, where you can also find a relative "score" for twitter users related to specific hashtags - but this reasoning looks very dangerous to me.

Just to make an example, if I collect the data about political contributions made by a given industrialist, and publish that data on my blog to say something about that person's influence and political leaning, should the said person be able to stop me?

On the other hand, if the published data or the accompanying analysis is demonstrably incorrect, biased, and especially if it could be considered libel, there are already ways to react. I think that those ways should already be enough to protect one's only reputation.

Alongside Einstein's final hours (see

When I say the speed of C. I'm really comparing various language X compilers to the GCC compiler under the assumption that the GCC compiler is the best.

No it's not a magical constant but I think for a baseline comparison "how close your compiler X is to GCC" is a fair thing to compare.

I also doubt V8 or spidermonkey can get better then GCC _on average_
Do older versions of turbo pascal have any edge over freepascal?
I think I am a better programmer for having used C.

C is interesting because like php it is very easy to end up with an unmanageable code base (but of course C is a lot more powerful than php).

I learnt a lot from good C code, the best C libs I have seen use a pseudo version of objects. They create a data structure to hold state and pass that as the first parameter to each function that can be used on it. Once I got my head around that I found I had a better understanding of the concept of object orientated programming.
I also really enjoyed that book, it was a good mix between the technical stuff and Turings life, I learnt a lot from it.

Cute and looks sort of yummy. The science is a bit lacking though (the vibrations have nothing to do with anything, except maybe plate separation on the capacitors).

You can make a capacitor (or battery) out of virtually anything. For a capacitor two conductors separated by an insulator - any conductor - any insulator - any shape. (Obviously some will work better, but all will work.)

For a battery two dissimilar metals joined by a fluid with ions in it (salt water, acid water, etc.)

Make you wonder why it took so long to invent these things, considering they have been made accidentally for millennia.

This device might deal quite badly with inductive loads such as the dishwasher motor or heating element (often wound in a spiral).

The lifetime of the solid-state-relay will be reduced if you don't use the proper subber circuits (see for example the S202S02F datasheet found as the first google hit).

A old-school mechanical relay might be a better fit.

To drive mechanical relays, the ULN2003 is a very handy part. It's 7 transistors + freewheeling diodes + resistors in one 16pin DIP.

I should probably be clearer.

My concern is not with kids learning stuff. I read to my daughters all the time (they're 2 and 6 months respectively and have been read stories since the day they came home from the hospital), they will have the best education I can get them and it will be made clear to them that they are expected to go to university. We try and expose them to new things, balance indoor and outdoor activities, moderate their TV watching (and make sure that it's nothing harmful) and so on.

But what concerns me is where you get people who seem to think that kids should learn at the expense of all other activities, that fun is, in some way, a bad thing, that it will make them weak and not teach them about the "realities of the world".

For some parents setting up the sort of scenario in the story where the kid runs a vending machine is a natural extension of the personalities of the parents and the child. They'll do it, sell the idea to the kids, the kids get engaged and it becomes something that they do together and enjoy.

What I have an issue with is where parents do this sort of thing in a way which is forced, which is pushed beyond the point where it's enjoyable because it's educational and that's worth the sacrifice.

The reality is that most of the things that might be learned from this (cash flow, inventory, basic logistics) are not hard, they are things which can be grasped fairly easily by anyone bright. I bet that most entrepreneurs didn't have their parents to teach them this stuff and I bet that the practical difference between a child who did this and a child who was bought up with a decent basic attitude to money from a well managed normal allowance would be zero by age 21.

With an exercise like this balance what they're actually going to get out of it (in this case potentially very little they wouldn't otherwise learn) with what it "costs". If both parent and child are enjoying it then the cost is zero (or negative) so great, if not then I think it's something you should drop pretty quickly and try something else.

All the things you list that they might learn are great with one possible exception. I feel wary about teaching resilience, at least directly.

The world is going to throw plenty of shit at your children, almost certainly more than they deserve. They're going to learn that lesson anyway. For my money your job as a parent is to protect them, support them and help them develop the skills to deal with it when that comes along, but I think that stops short of hurling more shit in an attempt to "toughen them up".

I'm not saying that they should be mollycoddled, far from it, they do need to learn to deal with tough situations, but for my money the best way to do that is to help them manage the real world situations that come up, rather than simulating potentially unpleasant learning experiences when the two of you could be out doing something enjoyable together.
I second this. A fascinating read. Looking forward to getting Code in future.

I'm not at all expecting the graphic designer to be a frontend developer. I've said all along that I'm happy to take care of whatever JavaScript is necessary.

But there's a difference between knowing the technical side of HTML + CSS + JavaScript (which I certainly do) and being able to make a nice-looking interface that takes into account all sorts of browser issues and limitations.

The fact that most designers I've met in Israel wash their hands 100% from anything Web oriented, saying that they're responsible for making PSDs and that the rest is for the programmers to handle, seems very weird to me.

That said, an experienced front-end developer is always welcome on a project, and can certainly help to bridge this gap. But I really wouldn't want a front-end developer to be wasting their time making the initial HTML and CSS from PSDs. Rather, I would want them to tweak, change, and improve what the designer did, and then make a good in-browser experience that communicates with the server.
Chinese would be extremelly happy with UEFI secure boot. They would force OEMs to include their chinese CA in every BIOS of every motherboard sold there, so they can boot whatever they want and the user would never notice.

Yes, of course it's a good complement for industrial or laboratory automation, test automation, industrial control. There are loads of different ways to solve these kinds of things, and they are all used somewhere...

But in bigger companies, there's the issue of standardisation: A company policy might mandate that all test-automation has to be done with LabView, so even a simple "dishwasher complexity" device might be implemented on a dedicated PC because it's just cheaper to shell out the $1000 for hardware than to re-train engineers to do Arduino on a $20 board.

Or some other company (possibly more industrial automation inclinded) might do everything with Siemens-S7 controllers.

This is why in reality you often see things setup with the apparently wrong tool for the job, but limiting the number of choices might make (business) sense.

You're running an xterm? Run it with "xterm -sb" or look up xrdb and use "xterm*scrollBar: true". You can usually scroll an xterm using shift+PgUp/shift+PgDown.

Buy Used Shipping Containers 
Shipping containers surely come handy in a variety of circumstances. Among other things, they are pretty valuable in terms of the storage all sorts of merchandise and materials for each transport and safekeeping. İn spite of this, brand new shipping containers can most certainly hurt the wallet. Based on many of the attributes and the actual size of these containers, they can go for as high as a thousand to even 4 thousand US dollars.

Groupon Appetite is Strong at ~$11.4Bn valuation
To say MS puts no pressure is ludicrous. If an OEM wants to have the sticker, they have to enable secure boot, end of story. There is probably a financial incentive there too, as OEM license prices are usually lower for PC manufacturers who enter programs such as this. Ever wondered why so many of them displayed "so and so recommends Windows x" in their pages? There was a license discount for those who did.

Also, there is some incentive for the PC makers to remove the possibility to disable it: people won't be able to reuse their machines a couple releases of Windows down the road. The shorter the useful life, the more boxes they move and higher the profit they make.

Obviously, they won't think through the consequences of tying their future to Microsoft. That would require thinking beyond the next bonus window, something most managers can't.

I'm an American expat and I really want Google Voice to work for me, but sadly it just doesn't.

- International Call Forwarding - I can't grasp why they don't do this. I work around it by having my GV number forward to a US Twilio number, which forwards to my foreign cell. Complexity = problems, and I'm giving Twilio a bunch of cash I could be giving Google.

- VoIP Calls - I wouldn't even have the above problem if GV supported VoIP. Even if it's only limited to WiFi, it would still be a major plus. The tech exists (Skype app), and Google has implemented it for GMail and even SIP at one point.

- Buggy iPhone app - This is what really shows me GV is a low priority for Google. The app is buggy as hell, crashes, doesn't pick up where you left off when you re-open it, doesn't always display most current inbox information, etc... For such a simple app, it shouldn't be this horrible.
I don't buy it. You don't name yourself CodeCademy if you know you have a competitor named Code Academy. You do it because you like the name. You think it's edgy or hip or something.

I don't think they knew about each other until recently, when the names had already been established.

Sure, the users confuse them. (Which is why CodeCademy isn't a good name... You can't say it without people inserted the 'a' mentally, so they'll never get it right if they learn about it verbally.) But that doesn't mean they did it on purpose.

And let's be honest: It's a really obvious name for a school where you learn to program.
I'm really not happy with the current situation of web design. Especially the "looks great on every screen AND device" part. To create a truly responsive Design you have to incorporate Orientation, Width, Height, Pixel density and much more. (which usually nobody bothers with since this would be way to complicated) People are using only subsets of these, so the sites often break on different devices, etc.

Then there's the problem with the content. Mobile users won't necessarily need all the things Desktop users do, since they usually have a very clear picture of what they want to do on the site. There needs to be an easy server-side implementation for such things. (would love to hear about it if someone knows any related projects)

PS: Please allow your users do "default" to a standard-version. I've seen so many sites break on mobile phones, making them completely useless...

I find this site looks a lot more unusable on a mobile device.

Sounds a lot like my Digital Circuits course in university. We started with a breadboard of transistors, and after we built each component we got that component as an IC to build the next level of abstraction (flip-flop → memory → adder → processor → etc) . At the end we ended up with a fully programmable computer that we were tasked to program as a sensor-driven traffic light controller.

Seeing every step from the ground-up really helps demystify the machines you see around yourself every day.
