Yes, some garbage companies are/were mobbed up. Since some of them had city franchises, it's unclear why you'd bring that up. In any event, it's as irrelevant as the fact that the mob engages in other biz.

The pool of revenue is still small: Since the creation of the app store in July 2008 to July this year, Apple has paid out $2.5 billion to developers and my projected payout for 2011 is $1.995B.

Even so, competition is fierce. In May this year there were 85,560 unique developers writing apps for the store.

Having said that, gold rushes are how big cities are built.
Now that I think about it, Android has 3X (or whatever) the market share of iOS, and no one seems to be making a ton of money from Android (except Google), the future for Android developers is pretty grim if you ask me.
yea, that seems to work now. Wasn't getting any "resig"'s at all before unless I added -resign -resignation. Now, ["pronounce" "resig"] seems to do the trick, as w/o quotes or just '+'s still gives resign and resignation results.

Although I applaud the efforts here, as a former staffer and intern for a congressman, I hate to be the bearer of bad news...

The truth is my job as an intern, as was the job of all other interns that I met while in DC, was to take constituent calls and also open constituent mail. However, no information was ever actually relayed to the congressmen. We had a formatted response to each and every issue that the House could possibly vote on. Everything from internet poker, to any issue you could imagine. We would print out (and alter if necessary) the response to tailor it to the individual that called, emailed, or wrote a physical letter. The congressman's signature was stamped at the bottom of the letter and sent back to the constituent, giving the allusion of due diligence on the congressman's part.

I was extremely surprised and disappointed at the same time at how commonplace this was. Pretty much every intern I asked about it went through the same drill. It's just another thing about our government and "representative democracy" that really irked me. So whenever I see ads urging people to call or write their congressman, I think back to this and realize further how powerless we really are.

The best way to exert influence over your congressman is to donate lots of money and become a memorable name that can get in contact with the actual representative him/herself. Hell, that's how I got the internship. This is one of the reasons I sympathize with the OWS movement.

The fundamental problem is that this is a part of a larger shift towards what is IMO an Unconstitutional government of prosecutors instead of a government of laws. These include mandatory sentencing guidelines, reductions in the discretion judges have in other areas, and the like. The idea is that the powers get shifted gradually onto prosecutors so they can go after bad guys, but that means eventually all of us can be prosecuted too.

I've been down this path 3 times in the last 4 years, and I have always switched companies to a) get a significant salary increase (20%+) or b) to get a chance to work on higher-profile projects. In your case, you like the projects and your coworkers, but are they work $20k per year? Or are you willing to take a chance that the new place will suck in exchange for $20k more? If I were you (and I was in this exact position a year ago), I would go for the title and the money now, because your current salary tends to dictate the next. Even if you don't like the new place, if you tough it out for a year, you can find something else and start the salary discussions at $95k+ instead of $77k+. And who knows, you may even like the new place more than the current one on top of the higher salary. Whatever you do, don't be tempted to ask your company for another counteroffer. You can only play that card once.

From http://www.fastcompany.com/1792313/striking-it-rich-in-the-a...

Developer Daniel Markham calls iPhone development “App Store Roulette,” and Andy Finnell of the software studio Fortunate Bear cautions against hoping for App Store success. “You’re betting a lot of this on luck, and the odds are stacked against you," Finnell says. "You’d have better odds playing slots at a casino.”

Indeed, as much as app development has been called a gold rush, there is an equally loud theory that it operates more like a casino.

“The closest thing I’ve seen to a ‘business model’ for marketing iPhone apps is to advertise like crazy until you get into the top 50,” says David Barnard of AppCubby. “Once you’re there, the top 50 list will start generating its own buzz...But that’s not a business model, that’s like rolling the dice at a casino.”
At least in my case (I'm Aaron) I don't think that a fair comparison at all.

Sean Parker is concerned that not enough talented people work at a company he has a stake in. That's fair, but only that company can benefit if his concern is alleviated (at the cost of others).

I'm concerned that an entire industry of companies has been quashed by anti-competitive laws, not just in California, but nationwide, raising prices for merchants and consumers across the country due to monopolistic business tactics that have been well-documented. It's affected my company, as well as about ten I've gotten e-mails from and probably a hundred that never started up in the first place or don't want to admit that they're caught up in it, too. Therefore it seems a bit broader than my own self-interest. And you can call me selfish, but I don't see any other self-interested parties stepping up to the plate on this one.

The counterpoint to the horse-in-the-race argument is that there is absolutely no way I would have known anything about money transmission laws unless I had a horse in the race. Some of these topics are pretty esoteric and I think that it's good when specialists speak up about them.

I'm in the course as well and don't really understand what the fuss about Octave is. The help system is abysmal and third-party library support seems far behind other popular platforms. It's also quite unstable on Windows.

I've been playing around with R for the past two weeks and have been more or less happy (with the exception of the memory and speed limitations in the GNU implementation).

Nevertheless, this will be a really exciting field for the next decade or so. Amazing possibilities right now!
Going lock-free has the benefit on any platform (well, any platform with atomic primitives) that you don't have to worry about a thread getting preempted while holding a lock and blocking others indefinitely. However, I think the scalability advantages aren't as evident on today's systems as they will be (or are, in the case of GPUs) on systems with high-tens to hundreds or thousands of hardware threads. The main reason I've found is that most lock-free algorithms I've implemented add significant constant factors over their serial equivalents (often via retries on CAS failure), so you really have to have high access concurrency to make it worth your while.

Going lock-free also tends to force you to use simpler data structures, since you have to figure out how to migrate the data structure from state A to state B via a sequence of very "small" operations (e.g., a CAS or atomic add), making sure that every intermediate state along the way is also valid. This is in contrast to acquiring a (group of) lock(s) and going to town for a lock-based data structure. As evidence of this, being able to figure out a lock-free variant of something like a linked list or skip list --- things which are not considered rocket science in the serial world --- will usually get you a conference or journal paper.

Another reason I don't think we've seen the best of lock-free yet is that most current implementations besides GPUs ride on top of cache coherence; you incur all the overhead of getting the cache line in your local cache, perform the atomic op, then ship it somewhere else. Since the whole raison d'etre of lock-free algorithms is that data operated on atomically tends to be getting hammered by many threads, there's really not much point to shipping it all around the chip; just put some functional units in the last-level cache and keep the data there.

Haven't looked at the Lockless source yet, but locks on the fast path does seem unusual; it seems fairly standard in high-performance allocators to have a per-thread cache of freed blocks, which obviously doesn't need locks.

A few things come to mind after reading your questions. Note that I went through a very similar situation and in 3 cases went for the money. IMO, 2 of those cases were a mistake on my part.

If you like your current boss, coworkers, the work you do and the office I would stay. It is, in my experience, to find all of those positives in one place.

Also of note, you'll be thought of as "that greedy bastard that keeps asking for more money" if you bring up the new offer. You'll have to resign and tell them your reasoning at that point... But they'll still have the greedy bastard impression and any reference you get from them will likely be tainted.
I see 2 problems with this. One: for many people, books will not be the best (or cheapest) resource. How will your metric rank items like websites, college lectures series, things like Khan, and other non-linear content?

Two: How specific will you make the "goals"? If an example goal is "To be a doctor"...the route there is immense and incalculable. If you do something like "brain surgeon"...there are many subgoals even to that specific profession.

OK, three: i don't think you have the expertise to say that there's one best set of books or learning material. everyone learns differently. That's part of the reason why you found so many books in the first place

Take the money. You are unlikely to get another 18-20k raise without changing jobs. You are not on a coast? Plan on moving west or east? It's expensive out here... Take the money and try and save half your income if you can - it will put you in a position to take risks down the road.

Don't fool yourself into thinking for a second that your current company would not drop you to suit their needs. You don't owe your current company anything except to do your job and be a professional. If you start to feel guilty just remember that it took you possibly leaving for them to give you a reasonable raise. Sign the papers with the new place, give notice and give back the 4k if you have to.

Finally, there are things those older developers can probably teach you. Strive to work with people more experienced than yourself.

It may sound incredibly frivolous now, but he's right. Irrespective of Apple or iOS, this is the time to be doing something more. I think the message here goes beyond just developing for iOS, but rather, for everything. Build something that you love, work for a company where you feel like you're doing something worthwhile. Whatever you do, make sure you're working on something that makes you say "fuck yeah." Don't neglect what's about to happen. We're about to see a major shift in technology and for those who are truly passionate about it, you'll want to be a part of it.
