I'm reminded of something I studied in a Communication Theory course in college, but can't remember the title of, and so am having a difficult time find on Google. Some psych researcher / professor proposed that there were four strategies used to deal with cognitive dissonance. The most effective of them was taking what the opposition states as a negative and turning it into a positive. For example:

Opposition: X presidential candidate wants to cut Y from the budget. That's terrible since it will hurt the poor the most.
You: Actually, it's great. If you look at Z statistic, you'll see that removing Y helps the rich AND the poor.
Opposition: Huh, so it does.

This is obviously way simplified, but does anyone know the name of that theory?
True story: I grabbed the URL and started to email Michael Nielsen.

Nice work, dude. :)
My take on what you said in the article was that you were encouraging developers to implement software (that was not tied into other software, but that was still used by end users) in a language that they want to learn. From what you said here, it sounds like you mean something you run just for yourself to get your work done, then toss. I thought you were suggesting doing this for actual software that is used internally or by a client, but that had no other dependencies and you could work on by yourself; as in software that may need to be maintained, have bugs that users discover that need to be fixed, etc. If you mean software for your own purposes as a tool to get a project done, but is not used at all once the project is done, and nobody will need to know or care that it existed, then my comment does not apply to that and I'm mistaken on my interpretation of your original meaning. If you mean software that is used more than once internally or by a client and you're writing it in a language that someone has to support that is NOT supported by the company you work for, then my original opinion stands ;-)

Either way, the parent to your comment has no bearing on my original comment or this one. You replied here, so I'm just replying to you.
Patrick has some great advice.

I'll add my own anecdote: earlier this year I had an interview which required taking a plane. I decided to wear my suit on the plane, and it was an entirely new experience. I can't put my finger on exactly what it was, but the people simply seemed nicer, more pleasant and accommodating. If you want people to think of you as a professional, dressing the part certainly helps.
It needs not have a full-blown PKI/TLS stack. In fact it does not need the encryption, it only needs authentication of the exchange and the replay protection. These are as simple as numbering messages with increasing IDs and HMAC'ing them with pre-shared key (that in turn can be generated on one side and passed to another during the pairing sequence). This is cheap in terms of CPU usage.

I doubt the lack of security provisions is due to the $ matters. It is far more likely to be just the developers' ignorance on the subject... which is entirely unsurprising, totally agree here.

Uh? Just normalize 35 on the borders and keep 38 on icons.

The fact that this bogus story has 61 points and is on HN's coveted home page is just unbelievable. Are you kidding me!?

From Wikipedia:

Pavlina was a student at University of California, Berkeley in the early nineties. He performed extremely poorly in his studies, because he devoted his time to shoplifting. Pavlina claims he then went on to earn two degrees (computer science and math) from California State University, Northridge in three semesters (also incorporating advanced placement credits for courses he had taken in high school).

1. He's claiming this and it's never been proven, despite how easy it is to actually prove. If he truly did this and people didn't believe him, he can simply show proof. (if you read the post, just like he showed proof to the people that doubted how many classes he was taking).

2. IF it is true, then it's widely fudged. The guy had APs and (bad apparently) college credit. This "3 semesters" claim is akin to someone going to school for a couple of years, accumulating a lot of credit, transferring to another school and graduating in 1.5 years. Seriously not that impressive.

----

There are great blogs with successful students that went to extraordinary lengths in college. But this just isn't one of them. He also seems to be someone who got rich by talking about how to get rich; excuse me for not admiring that.

---

Aside from all that, here's the really important point I came to HN to make: instead of a 'do it now' attitude, don't rush it Seriously.

College is a few years of your life and an amazing experience. Our society has this issue of rushing things and making races out of events that weren't meant for that. This reminds me of Norvig's rant on books with titles like "Learn Advanced Java in 24 Hours".

Challenging oneself with more classes in college is one thing; taking so much that you couldn't possibly retain such knowledge is another. Slow down, concentrate, and actually learn the material. College isn't a race; it's a journey. I say make the most of it.

Take that rant however you want. As a recent college-dropout (start of 4th year), a lot of the celebrated and arbitrary things in college (from how many classes you're taking to how many majors you're studying to how fast you're finishing college) just don't seem that interesting 99% of the time.
CWIZO never mentioned a credit card. He only referred to a "VISA card", which in my experience is usually a debit card in Europe. (My limited perspective has taught me that VISA cards are debit and Mastercard is credit. Then I came back to the US and my situation is the opposite. Go figure.)

I think it is a lot clearer if you compared the margin using 3GS screen sizes:

iPhone 3GS screen resolution (480x320)
iOS4 17+19+19+19+18px
iOS5 17+19+20+19+17px

iPhone 4 screen resolution (960x640)
iOS4 34+38+38+38+36px
iOS5 34+38+40+38+34px

Before iOS5, they were trying to maintain consistent spacing between icons while in iOS5 they changed the home screen margin to be asymmetric while maintaining the same margin ratio between non-Retina and Retina displays. They can't use 35+38+38+38+35 because that would leave non-Retina at 17.5 pixels for left and right margin.
This struck me as security which makes you feel safe aot security that makes you safe.

“The radiation portals that were deployed in the aftermath of 9/11 are essentially fine, except for three problems: They won’t find a nuclear bomb, they won’t find highly enriched uranium, and they won’t find a shielded dirty bomb,” says Stephen Flynn, a terrorism expert and president of the Center for National Policy. “Other than that, they’re great pieces of equipment.”
For some projects maintainance cost a lot more than initial development. This is kot the case for a large segment of programs though.

Hint: any kind of problem that need only be solved once (or where it is cheaper to write the code again rather than to make it general enough for everybody) can be written however the original developer believes he will create the most value
Interesting. It still worries me to see it in the "Windows 8 Platform Integrity Architecture". Are you not worried about it, or just pointing out that it's not relevant to the topic at hand?
Utter bullshit. I can't think of a single university that would even offer its full curriculum of courses necessary to graduate in 3 semesters without conflicts.
You mean 37 pixels?

(640-(4*114))/5 = 36.8 pixels.

I wonder why they didn't choose this instead:

38+36+36+36+38

That would be most evenly spaced, symmetrical, and compatible with non-retina displays.

> In essence, Hollywood is tired of those pesky laws that help protect innovation, economic growth, and creativity rather than outmoded business models. So they are trying to rewrite the rules, regulate the Internet, and damn the consequences for the rest of us.

"Hollywood" has been innovating, creating economic growth and, most of all, been the center of creativity for the most creative industries there are for some time. They are not tired of the pesky laws that protect those things. They are tired of the opposite. They are tired of existing laws designed to protect innovation, economic growth and creativity in the form of copyrighted IP going unenforced, and sites abusing the DMCA (Grooveshark is a great example).

I am not saying that I support this bill, and I'm not saying it shouldn't be stopped dead in its tracks. But it's so tiring to hear about big, bad Hollywood. You can't expect someone to lobby for a half measure, and especially when the opposing side wants nothing that gets passed to be enforceable. Either you shut down sites that are clearly infringing, or you insist on information about individual users so that it can be enforced on that level instead. As long as people keep infringing on peoples' property rights, one or the other solution will be proposed. The easiest way to stymie this debate is for people to stop taking things that don't belong to them and people who truly care about privacy and the rights of technology companies to speak intelligently about both sides of the issue instead of making stupid statements like the one above.

To be fair, the ConcurrentLinkedQueue class you linked to was apparently already so complex to implement that the developers had to go off the edge of type safety into the land of sun.misc.Unsafe; given how much research you already need to understand to feel confident that this algorithm works at all, going the extra distance to understand hazard pointers (which I, at least, find refreshingly easy to understand in juxtaposition), seems minuscule. ;P

That said, since I've now taken the time to read your code, I have a suggestion that would drastically clean up the parts that are making the manual memory allocation feel "overtly manual": rather than allocating memory and then using the default placement new to construct your object, you could define a placement new/delete that operates over the allocator.

This not only would remove all of the reinterpret_cast<>s and sizeof()s from the queue code, but it would also allow a future modification where the queue was able to store values other than void *, while retaining exception safety (as when you template the Node by way of the Queue itself, its more complex constructor would suddenly be allowed to throw, and the memory would need to be collected).
That's a good schedule for someone who doesn't really want to do things when other people do them. I think it would be like if there was a such thing as being a time-vegan.
App titles. You can have less margin on the edge since you don't have to considers the app title length from the other side.
>But what about the global connectivity issue?

Software defined demodulators could solve this problem, just like software defined radio is now solving the problem of disparate wireless standards (e.g. for emergency responders). The A5 shows that Apple isn't afraid of application-specific processing units. iTV just ships with the correct dongle.

Kristoffer Domeij killed on 14th deployment…….
Thank you for sharing this.

I'm in his debt and I've always been deeply interested in the personal side of the man. This sates, in some small way, my curiosity.

McCarthy and Ritchie were both in my bucket list for programmers I wanted to meet some day.

Men who helped shape my life and my career, that I always looked up to.

In one month, I've crossed two items off my list in the worst way possible.
How many "see, capitalism makes people take short cuts!" can be explained better by "the company was just ignorant about this case"?
2 degrees, 3 semesters, and a fulltime job? Sorry, but it's impossible combination. The possible ones are: 1 degree, 4 semesters, full time job (because some obligatory courses are only in summer or winter), 2 degrees, 6 semesters, half time job or 2 degrees, 5 semesters, no job. Currently I'm doing a 2 degrees, 6 semesters, no job -- graduating from CS in regular time and from Math one year early, and while I work like crazy, I think that if I planned better, I could have passed all required courses by the end of this semester. But even now, I have 2.5 times as much weekly courses than people pursuing a single degree in a regular way. Cutting the time required for me in half, while having full time job in last semester, is completely insane.
TFS?

I am looking forward to seeing a graph of gnome3/kde/awesome/xmonad a couple of months after gnome3 hits testing.
TFS would not even be a blip on this graph;)

Assuming tfs is not toyota financing services it appears tfs is microsoft's souce code management system and therefore is most likely not going to show up on debian's popcon.
My thought on the icon: Get rid of the paragraph symbol and keep the rest, maybe add two more lines of text to the page behind the paragraph symbol, to make the top/bottom border slightly thinner. At least, for now, until you get a designer to make you a new icon.

Other than that, the app looks nice, and its on my list of apps to play around with over the weekend!

"Part of our thesis on owning Nintendo is that Japanese exporters will stand to benefit from a weaker yen, if that ever happens."

This is completely invalid, because (at least for the non-Japanese investor) a weaker Yen means that even if Nintendo shares climb in terms of Yen, the declining Yen will counteract the share's value in terms of any foreign currency (such as the Dollar).

This is exactly why investing in an inflationary country like India is a tricky endeavor, because even if the Country grows, its currently could become devalued to the point where the returns become worse than what one could get in their native country.

Ah, that makes perfect sense.

I guess, this would be pointless:

36+38+36+38+36 (18+19+18+19+18)

since the 2nd and 3rd icon wouldn't get the benefit of the extra spacing.

So the reasonable option would be: 34+38+40+38+34 (17+19+20+19+17)
It's chronological with exposition interspersed. How would you prefer it was written, in a frame narrative? Cut-up? In five acts? There's nothing remotely Joycean or even modernist in structure about this article.
Right. For one thing, nothing in Erlang is mutable: To change something, you copy it and change the copy. This sounds like it should make generational garbage collection easier (to a first approximation, nothing in the older generation is being used) but I don't know.
I've internalized bad stereotypes of black people, especially since my Asian parents are racist and sexist as hell, right down to pulling out the gene card. And having grown up in the Valley, the vast majority of well-educated and ambitious people I know are white, East Asian, or Indian. I've met only two black college graduates in my twenty-odd years of existence here, so I don't have a lot of examples to make my mental image of a go-getting entrepreneur more inclusive.

Some great feedback, guys. Thankyou for contributing and sharing. I'm happy and surprised by how well it has been received, it suggests that there is a genuine need there that needs to be fulfilled.

I figure that many people on Hacker News are probably having similar issues that they are trying to solve independently, or have already solved. If we can share our solutions, we can get to where we're going much faster. The reason this will work is because we're all in the same mindset and want to see each other succeed.

I only went with the Google spreadsheet because I was short on time. So how's about we brainstorm it a little and see what we can come up with to make it really helpful? I might export what's already in there and put into more of a web app.

So let's address some of the issues together.

1. "It's going to fall into the background when it falls out of HN's attention."

I was hoping that if everyone shares the link on Twitter/Forums/wherever, then it would generate enough circulation to be self-sustaining.

Assuming that's not the case, how else can we encourage people to keep going back to the list and contributing/helping?

Some ideas:
A. Ask PG if we can actually integrate something with HN so that people DO get rewarded karma for both sharing the link and solving people's problems.

B. Turn it into a knowledge portal where you can find out how other people solved the problem you're trying to deal with, be it technical, business, personal, etc.

C. Make it a pre-payment system whereby you MUST share the link and/or help someone with a problem before you can post your own problem up.

2. Should the multiple choice answers be "select one or more options"?

3. Should there be a "Bump this one up" for people who are experiencing the same problem so that the "greatest pain" bubbles to the top where it's obvious that it needs the most solving.

4. Should there be a "I'd be willing to pay for a solution" for when you find a problem that you too are having, but the original poster said "I can pay you in Pizza/Karma"?

5. Should there be a better interface for browsing/searching through other people's problems? What would it look like?

6. Is there a way of making it easier to read for the people dropping in from Twitter, forums, etc?

7. Do we want a system whereby you can post up your skills so that you can offer to exchange services/skills?

Over to you.

How many ignorance cases can be explained better by delegation in the face of cost? They're essentially one and the same most of the time - unlimited time / money lets you be infinitely careful, but you have competitors. But yes, capitalism tends to encourage people to make cuts where they will be least noticed - like this one, until one person got it in their head that they might be hackable. They were fine for years prior to that occurrence.

With many interesting open source projects migrating to or being started on GitHub, almost everyone depending on such tools will install Git for client usage.

It doesn't necessarily mean Git is that rapidly surpassing SVN in actual use as repository, that is likely to happen way slower than the growth of the install base.
I have put in at least a few weeks trying to learn Haskell. I certainly never got to the point of being able to solve real world problems with it. Even after 2 years of coding in C most days of the week I wouldn't claim to know it well, and wouldn't be able to keep up with a 'real' C programmer. I've also spent far more than a few weeks (cumulatively) using Javascript and don't really have a solid grasp of the language (although in that case I have made no effort to actually learn the language).

Maybe this just reflects my poor aptitude for programming and I've very much behind the curve, so to speak. In which case it is probably correct that recruiters would do well to avoid recruiting me and to filter out those who are not able to learn new languages in a few weeks.
The value of programmers tends not be linear with cost though. Paying an extra 25-50% for decent ones gets you at least a 2x improvement, possibly more if they can rewrite large chunks of your corporate code to improve it.
