That said, help a non native english speaker:

"... none of that will go any faster if we sit around here arguing about tools"

Is tools in this context a subtle(?) reference to some persons out there or are we talking about things and stuff only?

Love it either way..

You only live once. So make it count.
NAND doesn't replace RAM functionally, but if you're a chip maker, you can make money from both. If sales of the one drop and those of the other go up, a shift in strategy (less DRAM, more NAND) is decidedly unsilly. This is especially true of the two developments are related, which they are: RAM sales are dropping because there's not a lot of RAM in the iPad, while NAND sales are going up because (among other reasons) there's an SSD in the iPad.
Don't you think it's a pretty shaky argument? They're not transferring much data on your phone because of "recruiter math"?

And isn't it likely that some phones are set to transfer more data than others?
You said that there is no level strictly above Top Secret (just comparmentalizations within that). Is there any actual evidence for that? (I mean, non-classified evidence; I'm not asking you for classified information.)

Where did you get the statistic about 1 in 50 to 70 Americans have had at least a Secret classification? That seems absurd.

What are you talking about when you say "cut off from the outside world most of the time, no idea what the current news is most of the time"? It wasn't clear at all, but I guess you mean "while physically working in a classified area"; (i.e. you're no longer cut off at the end of the workday)?

Interesting. Perhaps the comment about not being able to learn from people who don't have these clearances also applies to highly knowledgeable individuals in any field that have trouble listening to people with less information or understanding of matters. Perhaps it even explains how years of "knowing more" can lead to resistance to change (the kind that I've found to be characteristic of bad professors or some people I used to work for)

I think it's important to be aware of this. If I ever find myself not listening to someone because I think the person doesn't know all the facts, I hope that I'll become aware of it and try to zero in on what facts they are missing. Luckily I know very few secret things (I have even been known to intentionally make secret things un-secret) so I'd gladly share those facts and see for myself if it changes the other person's opinion.

How to Get From A to Payday
For some people they find themselves into a problem when they need money and their wages are not going to get them to the end of the month. And they still have expenses to cover, it may be petrol for the car to get to work, food, it can be a number of things. This burden of extra expenses sometime puts them under high pressure and ultimately leads them to find out the resources to get more money.
When you say "England", do you mean "UK", or do you intend for residents of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to be included under "(Rest of) Europe"?

Brief Description Of Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is an internet technology that utilizes both central remote servers and internet to manage the data and applications. This technology allows many businesses and users to use the data and application without an installation. Users and businesses can access the information and files at any computer system having an internet connection. Cloud computing provides much more effective computing by centralized memory, processing, storage and bandwidth.

I went through UK security clearance and can tell you that the process is to determine whether your personal/sexual habits are likely to make you vulnerable to blackmail. Not so that the government or agency can blackmail you.

That is: If you happen to be into BDSM and this is something you keep extremely private, then what would you rather give up? Your personal privacy or a piece of sensitive data?

So the interviews at different levels determine whether you can be trusted with the information based on the risk you pose to factors such as blackmail, or financial rewards, etc.

What makes languages like Python so great is the stdlib that goes with them -- I hope that projects like this can help grow Lua into a more mainstream language.

find('.more_stuff').removeClass('things')

I'm having a go, as a side-side project, at defining a strictly RESTful protocol for implementing DropBox-like functionality - I'm building client and server components which will be FOSS. I started this mainly as a learning experience for designing a strictly RESTful interface, but I plan to use it personally. Some random notes:

- Strictly RESTful interface (HATEOS, single base URL, server controlled namespaces)

- Simplicity over performance - easy to do everything on the command line using curl

- Supports block level transfers

So far this has stricly been for my own amusement/education - happy to write something up and put the code on github if anyone is interested.

Graphical programming with the Arduino IDE
I can heartily recommend a starter kit like the ones that oomlout sell - http://www.oomlout.co.uk/arduino-experimentation-kit-ardx-p-... for example. I bought one in summer 2010. They come with a good selection of examples that you can assemble with the various parts that it comes with, so takes a lot of the uncertainty out of what you need if, like me, you're more of a software than a hardware guy and not sure what resistors should be paired with which LEDs etc.

The most successful founders in this industry are/were people that could do the job themselves, with very few exceptions.

Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, Steve Wozniak, Steven Jobs, Paul Graham, John Warnock, Charles Geschke, Michael Cowpland, Michael Morhaime and the list can go on.

These people also found awesome help, that's true, but you can't be a leader unless you have the capability of fixing other people's screwups.

unless you have a ninja that dreams in Scala,
craps Redis and eats node.js for breakfast

Personally, I am ambivalent about people like that. Curiosity and experimentation defines a smart individual, however crapping Scala, Redis and Node.js all over a project that doesn't need these newer technologies is simply bad engineering that can sink a product faster than a "glorified oDesk coder" could.
Not sure why this hasn't been upvoted more, especially as it is one of the most relevant posts I've read in this thread.
It's a specific format of response called Fisking: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisking

Amongst other things it's been used many times previously to take apart the justifications that are often written to explain why a company's stupid moves aren't really stupid.

The "high as a kite" line is somewhat obligatory and comes from the sadly-departed Mark Pilgrim's skewering of Joel Spolsky, who was trying to tell everyone that IE8 was going to be a really good web browser when it came to implementing web standards, and that the standards didn't really matter much anyway.

Just wanted to chime in, thanks a lot for making the guide with this approach. Sysadmins, specifically, will find this to be a great resource.

Many people start out tweaking config files, editing other's scripts, manipulating logs and output data, and then eventually sit down and say "Damn, it's about time I learned how to really write good [bash/perl/python/regex]". I find the theory behind it interesting, but it's a bit of a distraction for many.

The worst is when you're teaching C and you have to explain that

void * a = do_something1(do_something2(), do_something3());

is not equivalent to

int b = do_something2();
int c = do_something3();
void * a = do_something1(b, c);
This comment is a little misleading; clearances don't give you unfettered access to classified information, they only allow you to receive whatever information you have a "need to know". A security clearance alone doesn't give you access to anything, it just tells the government you've had a background check and could potentially be trusted with certain information.

OK this is really interesting because one of the obvious criticisms you can lob over at Node.js is that the nested callback program structure that Javascript forces onto you is somewhat ugly and hard for a developer coming from more traditional frameworks to reason about.

Being able to use Lua's coroutines makes this quite interesting.

The timing of this poll is definitely going to throw off the results. It's nearly 2AM on the US West Coast, and most people are going to be asleep.
Looks pretty smart, I really hope this project succeeds because as an ex-academic I find it almost impossible to get hold of information about research, and particularly papers.

One thing which could be improved though is the lack of canonical departmental names. For example, if you look at the University of Manchester there are entries for 'Classics & Ancient History' and 'Classics and Ancient History', so you have to look at both to see all the members.

Localisation would also be good - in the UK we don't tend to refer to people as 'Faculty' or 'Graduate Student' (lecturers see themselves as being tied to a department or school rather than the mostly administrative faculty).

There is actually logic behind this.

BSE is caused by misfolded proteins called prions[1] which also causes Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease[2] (CJD) in humans. One form of CJD is Kuru[3] which inflicts the Fore tribe of Papua New Guinea and is likely transmitted through cannibalism interestingly enough.

There isn't a great depth of understanding of these diseases yet but in the case of Kuru the asymptomatic period has been demonstrated to be somewhere in between several years and several decades[4].

There are no screening tests for prion diseases[5] so the only way to be sure is to not take blood from risk groups.

But in this relationship the Rolling Stone have a lot of power and get treated excellently. I'd love to be that product!

The phrase you're the product! doesn't express anything meaningful about the relationship. Buy any magazine, you'll still get plastered with ads. In that sense you bought a product, and yet you still are a product. You still haven't discovered anything about the quality of the service.

For me the biggest draw of Dropbox is that it's not self hosted but that it's run by an entity that's 1) large enough to not go away any time soon, 2) fairly unscary (unlike, say, facebook), and 3) 100% dedicated to keeping the service running so I don't have to worry about my files anymore.

Self hosting only gets you 2).
I don't really get what all the fuzz is about. I think this guy is losing the point or trying to excuse himself for what he thinks. You wrote your thoughts about scala, the email accidentally (or whatever) leaked and somebody referenced your thoughts. The point is not that you wrote those thoughts in private or whatever the point is that you wrote that java suits you better than scala. And that's got referenced. Nobody said Yammer publicly announces that scala doesn't suit them. Whether your thoughts were intended for the public or for just one person is irrelevant. What a politician says when his mic is on while he is thinking is off the air, and everyone accidentally hears it, is still true. The fact that it was not intended for everyone to hear doesn't automatically make it false.
