Following a 1,000,000% Gain, a Slow-Motion Crash
Saying nothing would be slightly better than the false promise that's actually there:

We've also issued new guidance to examiners to help ensure that patents cover only "new" and "non-obvious" inventions.

That's impossible in the field of software. There is simply too much activity and too many specialties for the patent office to have any hope of being able to reasonably evaluate whether a claimed invention is novel, or whether it's obvious to a skilled programmer in the relevant specialty.

This is one big reason (though not the only reason) why software is incompatible with the patent system. Patent law has a presumption of validity for issued patents, and that presumption is laughable if it's a software patent.

If millions of people carried machine shops around in their backpacks, mechanical engineering would be incompatible with the patent system too.

I had to cope with floating points errors being different between compilers, which totally screwed up decompressing with binary produced by compiler A files that had been compressed with a binary produced by compiler B. We could/should have made the system more robust from the beginning (I wasn't there), but I'm not sure it would have been worst the hassle. My piece of advice is to use the ieee conforming math compiler flag if you don't want to experience this kind of problem, and if you don't at least profile your program to see how much speed gains you're getting from using the fast routines. If it's negligeable don't bother ...

That's exactly my point; programming languages aren't about x is better then y, but they are about personal style (and what they are built for). Other people really take off with x language but not y, and vice-versa.

I was also unnecessarily harsh towards double-sharps as well, when I was learning piano I would sight read a lot of easier pop/rock sheet music, and there were a few pieces I encountered with an unnecessary double-sharp that would catch me off guard because it was uncommon for the style.

FathomDB: San Francisco / Bay Area or remote. Full-time Software Engineers.

FathomDB needs you to build the next-generation relational database. Fully buzzword-compliant: distributed, fault-tolerant and cloud-ready; more importantly a great engineering project to do the first real redesign of the database since the mainframe. Your day-to-day is as much research as it is coding, as you'll be implementing things that have never been built that way before, that you probably invented over a team brainstorming session in the morning, maybe even using some insight you gained from your dreams the night before.

We work in C++(0x); you'll likely be experienced in C++ or C and an object-orientated language but what's more important is that you want to think and work where there are no signposts, and that you're comfortable doing so. Experience with distributed systems or databases is a positive indicator, but I'll read and reply to every application to hn.jobs@fathomdb.com

Codify their processes?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DO-178B

On the avionics software I worked on, we (another group of people) designed and manufactured the hardware. I'm not as familiar with the process there, but I have no reason to believe that it wasn't done with similar rigor. [See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DO-254]

I understand mathematical proof, but I wasn't sure that was what you meant. I did not realize that physical engineering projects are mathematically proven to that extent?
How To Go Mobile (by Google)
Everyone is a business owner. If you sell 40 hours of your time per week to "Major Corporation X," you are still running a business.

With that, I don't see many businesses marketing themselves with titles. You don't see "Google - Search engine engineers", you see "Google". The former would be pretty foolish marketing in my opinion. As such, I refuse to use titles at all.

Chicago, IL. Backend Engineers at Cloudbot - Full time.

Me too. I understand that the new design is visually more appealing and creates a better mood and sense of elegance for the user, but Gmail was designed for large volume email users, and it continues to be the best client for that use case, beating out every native app (at least that I've ever tried). For this type of user, packing more information on the screen is a huge usability boost. That might mean that Andy Rutledge will declare it crap and make a redux version that doesn't jab his monkey brain with a sharp stick, but it certainly doesn't mean that proportion and whitespace can't be used effectively on a more compact level.
Google launches "GoMo" a tool to mobilize websites
Clearly, a bunch of Google's services have been able to behave like a rendering/JS-executing browser for a while. However, that may not mean the initial URL fetching is usually (or even often) by a Chrome-like process.

My guess would be there are a mixture of processes which all collect page captures into a working area. (Which process is used for a particular site/URL might vary over time based on feature-detection – for example an initial old-style survey collection might be followed by a more browser-like collection later. The 'working area' is whatever serves the BigTable role in 2011.) All captures can then be further analyzed (virtually re-crawled from the working area) as necessary, by an even larger collection of analysis processes. That many of these analysis processes share code with other Google projects is to be expected, but to say that they are actually 'GoogleBot' (once they're not doing the initial fetching) or 'Chrome' (when they're processing bulk working-area data after-the-fact) is likely an oversimplification that obscures more than it is illuminates.

The strongest external evidence that Google's main crawling was using a Chrome-like engine would be if the pattern of URL-fetching, as observed in logs, became more like a browser: everything needed to render one page fetched in rapid succession (unless it's already previously cached). Are people seeing that in their logs, for example on Googlebot's first visit to all-new content?

This might be just a personal preference, but I find Cleartrip's UI to be far superior to any of its competitors.
Btw, I just remembered another good example of Cleartrip "getting it". I was trying to book a hotel. And due to messed up internet connection it didn't go through. I think I attempted to book the same hotel twice or thrice. This was after midnight. The very next morning I get a call from Cleartrip enquiring if I was facing any issues with their website, and offering to do the booking over the phone.
Where are they now? Update on the TechStars class of 2010
Yeah, I basically agree except Brooks himself said in the Mythical Man-Month that Brooks' Law is "an outrageous oversimplification."

Not every job is comparable to "nine women having one baby in one month." There can be sweet spots in staffing, and sometimes projects really don't have enough staff to achieve their goals.
Simple, easy to remember is important sometimes when we don't need to know what they do, or if they do more than one thing.

I think the intention was for people who needed to draw things, like architects, electrical/mechanical engineers, artists. I nearly die over the fact that there is no awesome tablet that explicitly supports styluses and uses them in some new awesome creative way. It would really take away the barrier of taking notes in class with a tablet efficiently. (Even though I still plan on getting a tablet to do such things).

and now, since 2 versions, they have journaling, and offer a huge amount of flexibility over write durability available:

- fire and forget

- write with integrity check (safe)

- write with journal commit

- write with data file commit

- write with replication to X nodes

And you can combine the last 4 in any way you like.

They did a pretty good job turning a downside into a significant advantage (yes, fire and forget is a significant advantage in a lot of cases).
10 Factor One-Liners to Impress Your Friends
What this particular farcical drama boils down to is the tension between the creative and the business. It is identical in spirit to the musician's dilemma.

Usually it comes out to something like this, "Do we take pleasure in our art and pursue the art, or do we take pleasure in selling our art in pursuing that?"

It's painfully obvious that good businesses pay people to create a positive value proposition for them. Therefore, if you are running your career like a business, you need to be seeking to maximize your value proposition. Part of that is passing yourself off as a maximal value creator. That is one half of the essence of patio11's point.

A lot of the artists I've dealt with are content to seek their art and to work in badly paid jobs to maximize their pursuit of their art. As someone who can program computers, we can draw value from our art. We do not need to hack at night and work as a barista during the day. That is the other half of the essence of patio11's point.

No one has to take patio11's advice, and their priorities may not align with his priorities.

But if you're maximizing wealth creation through being a programmer, you need to stop 'being a programmer/hacker/ninja/rock star/operator' and start 'being a person who creates wealth for other people via technology'.
Seems like they addressed a lot of the initial gripes people had with the new UI preview. I'm hopeful that similar evolution will be coming to Google Reader.
I was just throwing out some desktop-specific things at the end and have no interest in running any BSD as a desktop anymore.

But an employee who worked on Courier said the project was far enough along that the remaining work could have been completed in months

Yeah. All they needed to do was bring in some programmers to start implementing the thing.
This has nothing to do with the DOM. There are existing server-side JS deployments that have no DOM, but do create separate globals per request.

There is nothing other than a conscious design decision that forces the Node code that you write to run against the same global as the code that handles the I/O guts in Node...

In particular, you could have the code that listens on the socket and chunks up the byte stream into HTTP requests running against one global while all further processing of those requests runs against a different global or set of globals. It's just that Node chose not to do that. But that's not an inherent limitation of either JS the language or the V8 implementation.

CloudBuild.us - Optimize, Build and Deploy JavaScript apps
CloudBuild.us is a service that helps startups optimize their web application by automating the tedious process of building, testing and deploying to content delivery networks.

At a set interval, the site will connect to your GitHub or BitBucket repository, and download your source code.

Once downloaded, it will run a series of tests, including JSLint, JSUnit and any other tests that you specify.

If those pass, it will optimize your web application by minifying JS and CSS files, and optimizing images (combining icons into sprites automatically for example).

Once optimized, the CloudBuild.us will version images and JavaScript files, and then automatically transfer the files up to a supported CDN (Amazon S3 / CloudFront and Rackspace will be supported).

You can sign up to receive more information about it at http://www.cloudbuild.us/

I'd love your feedback on the services that we're planning to support, and ones that we're missing.

Thanks,

Mike
> I needed to spell my first name (David) out to them using the NATO phonetic alphabet.

Did you just say "Delta Alpha..." or "D as in Delta, A as in Alpha"?

I can assure you the first one would confuse the hell out of most of the Indians(I am an Indian living in India).

Some of the NATO phonetic alphabets would complicate matters even further - Quebec, Zulu, Yankee. Zulu is a special one, considering Z isn't pronounced "Zee" in India(G is "Gee" and there is no "Zee") - it's called "Zed". So when you say "Zee" as in "Zulu", the support staff is going to have a hard time figuring out what on Earth was that. This is pure speculation - most likely support people undergo some training and they have a basic understanding of western accent and pronunciation.

The safer bet is simply saying the alphabets "Dee a vee eye dee", or better still use short, widely known words as mnemonics "D as in Doll, A as in Ant, V as in Van..."

I often have to resort to phonetic alphabets. Though sometimes it becomes problematic when the mnemonics I come up with confuse the support staff even more:

Me: "Dee..Ummmm Dee as in Dumbledore"

Support Staff: "????"

There is support for kernel threads in the form of a flag on rfork(2). The golang port uses this. The pthreads library is still the shitty userland one though.

OpenBSD is great because the man pages aren't absolute shit like Linux and networking is so much better. Linux wifi drivers are absolute crap in comparison.

ifconfig <interface> nwid <ssid> wpa wpakey <wpakey> up;
dhclient <interface>

The equivalent on linux is left as an exercise...

It's still a pretty usable desktop though. The new ACPI support is amazing and a completely new implementation, rather than being built on the reference implementation everyone else used.

But the data IS there. That is not deceptive.

Are you saying that if your content is in Google's database it's required to be free? As a site owner, I have the right to decide whether or not my data is available for free, but it is there, and you should know it's there, so I have to somehow get found in search engines.

Think of it this way. You search for an image in Google - you are presented with sites that sell licenses to stock photos. Is this any different?
