UI is the easy part. The listings that are accurate, honest and up to date are hard. Do you want to become a real estate company as well, hire your own agents, pick up the phones, take customers for the visits and so on? Or you need to provide a service that these companies (and some landlords, perhaps) want to use, in the right way.

Why would they give you out the exact address? A competing real estate company (not one, three, more) would immediately contact the landlord and offer him a better deal. Why would you list the price correctly, if you can hide some additional fees in the comment, stay 'technically' correct and look more attractive in the search?

I work on a service like this, we are quite rich (well, as a company, I'm just an employee), but we really can't do what you want. I'd like to, I don't like to use the service much, it's not bad itself, but it doesn't help you from dealing with the real estate agents and if I say that they are all liars and frauds, I'm not exaggerating at all.

(But we're in eastern Europe, things are perhaps different in America.)
Thanks for the feedback but perhaps you can give me more insight into what is dreadful about my site/portfolio. When you say site/portfolio, which are you referring to? Is it the design, usability you find dreadful or did it crash on you? Developing a web application requires many different skills and this is where I am trying to get some feedback on. I appreciate your feedback that it is dreadful but perhaps a bit more insight into what would make it less dreadful beyond improve it.

The only reason you won't find this story on snopes is because it's too lame.
I agree there is a load of low quality developers out there on oDesk, but I've found that for the contracts good developers want, the buyers know not to hire the low quality developers. I've found plenty of high paying contracts on oDesk, you just need to know how to approach them.

How many people would decide which theater to go to based on popcorn price? I look at if it has the movie I want to see at the time I want to see it, if it's convenient to get to, and how nice the theater is. Driving out of my way or going to a crappy theater to save one or two dollars on popcorn is not worth it.
They aren't tricks. Inviting your a friend to Facebook via. email isn't a trick, and keeping a record of it so that Facebook can notify both parties that the request has been accepted isn't a trick, for example.

It's still, nevertheless, far less than what people put on Facebook themselves. It might be comparable to me asking my friend about this person I saw the other day. Her friends are giving me that information. Though, as the person, I wouldn't appreciate my information shared, it's something that happens often in the real world, not just Facebook.
Most of the directory or listing services are worthless from a browser's point of view. Your startup(or any listed business) gets lost somewhere buried under categories and sub-categories. So, while these directories do offer a link or two, they really do not provide any value or a good user-experience to a casual browser who simply wants to check out cool startups, quickly find out a bit about them and explore further if interested.

I created StartupOnTop to address this very issue and offer a directory that presents startups in a clean, clutter-free manner. It offers a top-down view (startups first, categories later) and also shows a "quick - view" for users to quickly learn about a startup.

Most importantly, I intend to vigorously maintain it - I would like to keep it ad-free and spam-free. That means, the site is not meant for ‘every’ startup and will try to prevent the site from generic dilution. After a free first month, charging a basic maintainance fee.

Yes Apple has shipped some amazing products but they were limited with only few products. Now that does't mean somebody else has to compete in the same respect, Microsoft had different focus & vision. They wanted to go the IBM way, consumer & businesses. I feel they have done a good job.

Beside they are not thief, its business. Apple products are far more expensive than Microsoft, the difference between 16GB & 32GB iPhones are not justified. People have a notion that Mac OS is far more refined than Windows. Well I feel they are wrong, windows 7 is far more customizable & stable on many devices etc than Mac OS. Apple is a good hardware company, they build brillant product that you can look & feel but they are not good at softwares. Mac OS is an extension of unix under a limited environment where as Ms Windows which was build in house can virtually run on any machine.

I am not a Microsoft Fan but using Ms products for quite some time, I always liked Apple's products, I would say Steve just knows how to sell. A good example is the way he packaged & sold the 1st iMac in a translucent box which looked amazing, with the same hardware inside.

Now when I started exploring the world of Apple I realized its little too over hyped that what its actually worthy of.

If you think about it now, Steve Jobs had more failures than Bill. Both had ups & downs but I feel Bill was more consistent when he was at Microsoft.
How to learn English
Get a helpdesk job at a company with an internal helpdesk. (NOT a call center). Those jobs truly are entry level, and will hire people without experience. Once you are there, start building tools on the side to help your department. If you do well, they'll see the value and give you more programming work. If not, at least you now can put real IT experience, including programming on your resume.

Admittedly, this is not an exciting path, nor a fast one. But it is an effective one.

In my experience many excellent hackers don't even try to make the educated guess about how much change to account for. The Hacker assumes that the system must handle various far-off scenarios which gives them an excuse to play with [insert tech here]. Or the Hacker assumes that "the business" has thought of the best strategy for dealing with various technology issues that might occur (as if non-technical types could really do that), which gives them the ability to say they were just doing what they were told.

The industry conditions Hackers to avoid thinking strategically, at least in part. The Junior Hacker is browbeaten for not thinking of every possible scenario when things go wrong, however unlikely. The Junior Hacker is rewarded for following the directions of their technical supervisors to the letter without thinking. It shouldn't surprise anyone that by the time the Hacker is promoted to Senior Hacker, they have little experience designing and developing software that will ship quickly, not be a maintenance burden, and can adapt to success if it comes.
It would have been good to say why you find the name awful.

To me it sounds quite good, it's a kinda of paint on [not really] white board, so it's a white-y board paint.
Not really. It looks a bit modernish. But I think there is a subtle emphasis on having you focus more on the ads (ads tend to stand out a bit more).
Why doesn't the USA charge full rate taxes on individuals and corporations with extremely high incomes - and THEN deduct based on the number of new domestic hires they've done that have stayed for at least a year.

Seems super simple enough and then the REAL job creators get the credits they are demanding. The fakes then have no excuses.

Andy Rooney Dead at 92
You're absolutely right. And I think the reason people don't talk directly about the issue enough, is because we really don't know what to do about it.

There are many jobs that are now obsolete, or will be due to technological progress. Not only are many 'labor' jobs being rendered obsolete, but so are many 'mundane' white collar jobs.

Toll-booth operators are obsolete (or will be)

Bookkeepers are obsolete (or will be)

Many back-office support-services can be automated or re-located

All cashiers could potentially be made obsolete

Many retail sales could be made obsolete (as people shop online)

Where do all these people go? During the last technological revolution, there was a relatively smooth transition from farming to manufacturing. But I honestly don't see how large swathes of the population that don't have specialized skills will fit in in the new economy.

Most of the people reading this comment will do just fine. But we face the really tough questions when dealing with the increasingly large number of people who don't have skills that are in the demand. And even if they all got the skills, employers simply wouldn't need all of them as labor becomes increasingly leveraged.

A couple professors fro MIT just wrote an e-book called 'Race Against the Machine' discussing this phenomena.

Thanks.
Some programmers having to use Microsoft software is a bigger deal for society as a whole than saving the world's poorest people from malaria and polio?

That is a simply insane stance, if you really believe that.
One fallacy in this article is the portrayal of the typical "regular programmer". The reality is that many regular programmers would pick something horrible but established in the enterprise like Java Struts or Oracle Web forms, not Rails, because that's "what they know".

Publishing News: Early response to the Kindle Lending Library
"So you advocate over-engineering a just-in-case tour-de-force, instead of agile, iterative, responsive development. How are you getting up votes????"

There's a time and a place for heavy engineering, and a time and place for agile, iterative development, and sometimes both have times and places in the same project.

One element of good judgement is realizing what the tradeoffs between older and trendier development methodologies are, and then navigating them intelligently.

For example, the direction LedgerSMB is moving is towards a heavily engineered, intelligent database with a well-engineered API, and a more agile application built on this framework. The database engineering (esp. in an accounting app) needs to be done right and account for a lot of "just in case" while the actual application running on the database should be able to be customized relatively easily.
It'd be nice to have a list of modules affected by the change. I probably won't update until I know what it'll do to my existing system.
> The fact that there are no timezones would mean everyone is on the same time, so it's much easier to schedule said hour. It makes coordination much easier.

No, everybody would not be on the same hour. I would still have to apply location knowledge to know when colleagues in other time zones get to the office, are likely to be out for lunch and leave in the evening.

Example: It is now 13:00 in London. Let's pretend it's not Saturday, it's a perfectly good time for a catch-up chat, so I call my colleague in Silicon Valley, but he doesn't pick up. The fact that we might have decided that his watch should say 13:00 does not change the fact that he's probably just getting out of bed, as it's one hour and 40 minutes to sunrise there (or 6:00 with time zones applied).

> It's still highly arbitrary. The only thing that would change is that the sun position per hour would change depending on where you are.

But sun position is roughly how we organise our days. It's not like 2/3 of the worlds population is going to start sleeping through a significant portion of daylight hours to make global coordination easier.

Time is an abstraction of sun position to make coordination easier. Changing the abstraction doesn't change the thing it's an abstraction of - so in computer science terms, you could say you're making the abstraction leaky.

A sneering, cynical summary, typical of a press which attacks alternative sources for purely selfish reasons. You'd have thought that "the press" would stick together to protect press freedom, freedom of speech and whistle-blowing, but no - they seem more interested in sniping at Wikileaks. Even the U.K. Guardian has joined in, I only hope these institutions aren't one day hoisted on their own petard.
Andy Rooney led a pretty amazing life and has written a number of books about his experiences. My favorite was his book about his experience in World War II as a correspondent for the Stars and Stripes newspaper[1].

My family used to get together every Sunday and watch 60 Minutes. It was literally the only television show we watched together and Andy's rambling wit and general cynicism was always my favorite part of the show. He certainly was a keen observer of just how ridiculous life can be sometimes.

A couple of years ago, a friend of mine met him at a party in upstate New York. He said he had the same way about there that he does on TV, except a good deal dirtier and he smiled more. I was happy to hear that because that's basically how I pictured him.

The world needs more Andy Rooney's.

I've found an interesting project and a very nice customer through freelancer.com
A small company I worked for once upon a time almost lost a major client due to a curse. Thankfully the CEO was able to beg for mercy. (People loosing their jobs counts as "hurt" to me, BTW.)
I absolutely love the first point that they make to not start out with a regular routine of reading news or checking your email because I think many people (including myself) do it as a habit and then get completely sidetracked from it (especially email) leaving everything else on a side-burner until later. I didn't even think about this point until reading this. If you do something you dont want to do first you will have more motivation to get it done so that you can get back to your regular routine. Since people are creatures of habit its quite a big motivator.
That is an economic fallacy.

So we've passed "peak jobs"?

Did you see that thing the other day where some people decided to make an entire music video in stop motion using Jelly Beans[1]? It took 30 persons 22 months. That is possible because "globalization combined with rapidly advancing technology" can drastically lower the amount of economic output each person needs to produce to sustain him or herself.

This also means that a person who is capable of filling an entire day with production of economic output has a drastically higher amount of wealth to spend on things not specifically "necessary" - such as feeding people making stop motion Jelly Beans films.

As swombat says [a] “straightforward way that politicians can create jobs: by spending money on big infrastructure projects.”

That is indeed a way that the society you live in choose to spend money to create jobs. Other ways of spending money to create jobs are, for example to increase the size of the military, which may or may not be as useful for a nations economy as creating infrastructure, depending on the state of your infrastructure and the size of your military.

This is such a silly complaint.

If the story is true, then Microsoft is simply making an offer. Either it's worth enough to the magazine to place a Microsoft ad without being paid for it, and they accept the offer; or it isn't, and they reject it. It's not like Microsoft was trying to get them to drop competitors' ads or something.

There's just no evil there. Maybe it would be nice of them pour cash they don't have to let go of into a startup magazine, but Microsoft isn't a charity. If their PR department can sell someone on the idea of running ads for them for free, that's not evil, it's just good salesmanship.

I might as well complain that I'm not getting a check from Apple when I go places with my laptop and its glowing logo. Never mind that on the whole, buying this computer was a beneficial transaction for me – just look at all this free advertising I'm giving them!
I and my wife go there once in a while. Thing is - we have have nor TV, nor Netflix/Hulu/etc. As a result, after careful research we really enjoy movie (well, almost always) and after movie we go to restaurant. This is really nice to have it once in a while. It is not about movie itself, but about going to movie theater with someone.

I said it somewhere already, but will repeat myself - "Treat yourself, not bloat". This is a secret to good experience with movie theaters (and with most things in life, actually :))
Bank Transfer Day: No Thank You
I am often both playing with experimental technologies and pushing the envelope vs best programming practices. If you look at the approach of LedgerSMB's use of PostgreSQL (see http://ledgersmbdev.blogspot.com/2011/10/design-of-ledgersmb... and http://ledgersmbdev.blogspot.com/2011/10/introduction-to-sod... for more) and also being critical of our approaches (see http://ledgersmbdev.blogspot.com/2011/10/soda-in-ledgersmb-1...).

The thing though is that a lot of this occurs within a framework of evaluating what is not working and rethinking it. On the whole though, this is what pushing the envelope is all about. Note here we are often bucking (rather than embracing) many trends, though we do look to trends to pick pieces that make sense.
> During the last technological revolution, there was a relatively smooth transition from farming to manufacturing.

Relative to what, exactly? That transition was only smooth in retrospective. It took many decades and (among other things) spawned a major political ideology and a superpower based on it dominating a century.
Scala is not really functional. Or at least it doesn't force you to write anything in a functional way.

I'd say it's about as functional as Python... which did get a lot of traction lately in various different places.
No, I'm saying that if we had an extra million highly-educated people working on curing malaria then it would probably already be solved, instead of being maybe partially solved in another ten or fifteen years.
One Noble prize given for the research that said best way to achieve your goals is by working on a goal to procrastinate even higher goal.

Secondly, I remember reading a research paper that said, whenever you have a task at hand which you want to procrastinate at least give it a start. Urge for postponing the task goes seriously down once you at least start doing it.
EMBEDDED systems. There is no admin who can just tweak a field for hundreds or thousands of devices out, not networked, who knows where.
In that case, what's the use of compiling to java source code, why not compile directly to bytecode?
1. It's not a competitive market; each person who wants to watch a particular movie only has between one and maybe four choices of venue until the travel costs outstrip any differences in price. Any number of these could be owned by the same chain.

2. In addition, there's no way to compare concession prices easily before making that choice; once the potential buyer of popcorn, even assuming they're looking at the popcorn prices before buying a ticket, has seen those prices, they need to add the relative travel time to speculative estimates of other theaters' popcorn prices.

3. Lastly, they collude, and all the prices are about the same. Good luck getting somebody to let you run their movie in your theater-killer that leads on concession prices. Vertical integration was a term invented about the movie theater industry; contracts are in place.
Agreed and of course a clear understanding of what the tradeoffs of approaches are. In the end, I think that more than years of experience is the best marker.

I have come into codebases written by a few developers for 20 years that made me think "why don't these people ever get any better?" And when the codebase could function as a textbook of how not to program........
I'm surprised how is that even possible? You can probably translate every Java file, line-by-line into Scala. Then remove the redundant type declarations and you're already shorter. Then you can actually rewrite it to something less imperative and still shorter.

Do you have any real examples of longer Scala code? I couldn't find any.
