I like the idea of generating an image and selling it as a t-shirt but you have to do better than this.

Website design is not very appealing. Have a look what other people do: http://dribbble.com/

Your LurePets are not a new idea. Zazzle is selling them already: http://www.zazzle.com/lurepets+gifts . Personally I like fractal t-shirts more: http://www.zazzle.com/fractal+tshirts

But don't give up. It's a good idea that needs better front-end and more advanced math and pattern generation at the back-end. If you auto-generate images that no one else has and are appealing then you might have a sustainable business.
I think it makes the point even better if people leave anyway.

They may have changed their mind, but they only changed it after their original stupid decision pissed everybody off. If they lose money over it maybe they'll think things through a little better next time.
I also like the name, and I have yet to find anything to dislike about them, except for the already-mentioned, occasionally-flaky DNS, but I've also experienced that with "bigger" players such as NAME.COM. Apparently, for any domain considered important, DNS should always be handled separately from the registrar.
Not mentioned in the article are two nice static analysis tools: the Clang Static Analyzer (http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/) and Klee (http://klee.llvm.org/).

Both are LLVM-related projects (and there's a few others as well, but these are the two "big" ones).

Does your opinion apply to children born into poverty?

Kids whose parents can't afford healthy food for them so their brains don't develop?

Kids who are unable to get educated because their schools are corrupt and 90% of the high school students graduate illiterate?

People who were abused as kids and so have mental illnesses and live on the street because they can't hold a job?

People who had their health insurance scam them and had to go $100,000 into debt to pay doctors?

Kids who were brainwashed from birth by parents, teachers, media that they no matter what the expense they must go to university, and now find themselves 22 years old and $100,000 in debt with nothing to show for it?

You live in an extremely exploitative society where the powerful coast while the vulnerable drown.

The majority of the sufferers are people who were born into their situation. They are chronically ill from lack of access to healthcare and quality food. They are mentally ill from being abused and discarded and having nowhere to turn. They are in financial ruin by following the mainstream, standard advice regarding mortgages, investing, and education.

If you were King of America, what would you do with all the destitute? You're right - there were already tons of miserable pre-2008. I just want to know what your plan for the unwashed, stupid, suffering masses is. Because it sounds like you're saying we should just let them wallow in their misery and watch as more cities crumble like Detroit.

When you tell mentally ill homeless addicts to "use their bootstraps" you're really just advocating for the growth of the vast American ghettos that are already the shame of the nation.

Here is an accompanying segment from QuakeCon 2011 in August where static code analysis is discussed. This topic must really be on his mind.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zgYG-_ha28&feature=playe...
Doing analysis like this also has a huge impact on broken window theory. If engineers see a whole bunch of compiler warnings, then they don't think twice when they see just one more and it could be a really valid warning. It also gives a good sense of ownership and commitment to the codebase if everyone agrees to not check in code with warnings. Also, when you have new engineers copying and pasting code to get stuff working quickly, you certainly don't want them doing that with buggy code.

If you do ask someone to mock something up, make sure it's very small (1-2 hours of time max). There's a fine line between an evaluation and spec work, the latter of which will drive away a lot of good candidates.

GoDaddy needs to be boycotted anyway. We're talking about a law that would create a national Internet censorship infrastructure in the United States. This is serious stuff.

This is exactly the sort of thing Haskell is great at. First, the type system catches all sorts of errors at compile time (both null-pointer and printf issues cannot come up in Haskell).

However, more fundamentally, Haskell code just naturally provides much more information to static analysis tools than any other language I've worked with. Even if the level of tooling is not there yet (I haven't worked on any large projects, so I am not entirely familiar with it) the potential for these tools is much greater in Haskell. I think programs like HLint are already very thorough. I've just been using Haskell as more of a hacker language than a "bondage and discipline" language and haven't bothered with these tools :)

Having done similar work for Chrome, I can attest to the fact that large code bases are full of errors.

If you're not on Windows, using both gcc's -Wall and -Wextra along with Clang in the same way is a good start. (Here's a post with more details: http://neugierig.org/software/chromium/notes/2011/01/clang.h... .) The Clang static analyzer wasn't very useful at the time I tried it because it didn't analyze C++ code. Valgrind also finds a lot but it is harder to be diligent about fixing.

The PVS Studio guy (mentioned in Carmack's post) ran our code through it as well and also found a number of bugs, as described in a few posts: http://www.viva64.com/en/a/0074/ http://www.viva64.com/en/b/0113/ . (As Carmack supposed, they also claimed the Chrome code was some of the best they'd seen. But it's more likely they were being truthful in both cases.)

They've also ran the Chrome code through Coverity, but I haven't been involved in fixing those bugs so I don't know how useful it was. Searching the bug tracker for [coverity] turns up a handful of bugs, but it's possible more are hidden for security reasons.

There was an article posted and discussed just a few days ago, in case you've missed it: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3374953
I was only with them for six months and after that time they managed to irreversibly destroy everything I had been working on, including the backups I'd paid for. (They said that the backups were on a different server which also happened to catastrophically fail at the same time...)

I want to love MediaTemple, and I agree that their support is excellent, and I accept that terrible accidents happen, but I can never bring myself to use them in a production environment ever again. (The project I was hosting with them was in a sort of private beta, and although I had second backups of the code I had very very foolishly trusted the Snapshot backups with all my user data. Lesson learned.)

Anyway, I'm just one dissenting data point in a giant sea of happy customers. I don't mean to dissuade anyone from using MT--just please don't be any less paranoid about their service than the rest.
I hate replying to my own post, but it's too late to edit my original post, so here is the response I received from them:

Fighting online piracy is of the utmost importance, which is why Go Daddy has been working to help craft revisions to this legislation - but we can clearly do better," Warren Adelman, Go Daddy's newly appointed CEO, said. "It's very important that all Internet stakeholders work together on this. Getting it right is worth the wait. Go Daddy will support it when and if the Internet community supports it.

I am now in the process of transferring out my domains, the fact that they are revising the legislation and not opposing any regulations signals to me that they have indeed not learned there lesson and are making PR maneuvers to do damage control. The fact that they would even entertain working further with a regulation framework is indicative of their mentality on the matter. Unfortunately they are probably too far invested to change direction and become a champion for their customers, as such I am left with little choice.
But you hadn't actually started to do the transaction yet? Interesting.

GoDaddy suffered a market correction as a result of rational actors behaving in their self interest. In this case the self interest was simply economic, but also an issue of freedom.

GoDaddy didn't simply have an opinion, they were acting upon it. Their actions support legislation that limits freedoms, especially free speech, and sets up a dangerous precedent for further limiting freedoms. Any entity that threatens freedoms of the people should expect to be bullied by the people.

Many people at some point in their lives determine that certain things are valuable enough to fight for. For a lot of people, their values were under siege by SOPA and PROTECT-IP.

Bullying is what happens to a kid on a schoolyard who has done absolutely nothing to deserve the harm (usually physical) inflicted upon them. The reaction of people against GoDaddy was self-defense in the interest of self preservation.
"Money controls business."

I'm looking at a dollar bill on the table in front of me, and I don't think it controls anything. It's an inanimate object.

I know this isn't what you mean. But it's helpful to point this out, for the sake of clear thinking and accuracy: human beings control money. They choose if, where and how to earn it or spend it. Ultimately, it's not money that controls business, but people, with ideas, lives, dreams, goals, motives (sometimes shortsighted and foolhardy, but also sometimes farsighted and brilliant) etc. There is no good reason to imply that one inanimate object or technology such as money is somehow inherently tainted, even if only to some small degree.

Why not try calling out bad ideas instead? What are they, and why are they bad?
This for me is the single biggest reason for using IntelliJ in my day to day work, and one of the things that makes it hard for me to switch to something other that java. Having real time static analysis while editing is truly awesome (and very humbling, as he states). It's an order of magnitude more useful than having it as compile warnings, not least because the editor can more often than not help you fix them.

I can't imagine anyone specializing to such an extreme. If you want to make multiplayer games, for example, you have to know this stuff.

Every competent programmer should be familiar with basic security principles. It's then your responsibility to educate yourself about how to apply those principles in a given situation.

Odd that they didn't use the API or action=raw to get the wikitext and instead just scraped and went digging.

It would require post-processing anyways (rip out templates, wikilinks, reflists, whatever) but it would be easier to isolate what is actually in the page.
That sounds like a great tool. But your whole team might not use that editor or have it enabled or pay attention or whatever. If you run linters in continuous integration your style guide is applied on every commit.
Asking which language you should learn is like walking into a wood shop and asking which tool you should learn to use. Screw the tools, just build something and grab whichever tools you feel are right for the job along the way.

I never could learn a programming language for the sake of learning. I always had some idea of something I wanted to build and then used that project as my learning experience. Hopefully at the end I had something which could possible be useful for me.

You should probably be doing the same. If you have no ideas of what to build, then you should probably change your thinking. NOW is the best time to start thinking about which direction you feel you would like to go and start working on something in that area.

Games? Security? Mobile apps? Web apps? Systems administration? The list goes on. You need to get dirty so that you start to itch. Once you start itching, let that carry you. At that point, all other questions are answered.

I was reading somewhere earlier today those exact same words as a statement publicly made so if you got that in an email, its copy/paste BS.
I think you lost sight of the big picture when you put the number in terms of miles. The light emitted at the time of the death of Jesus has traveled some 1,978 light-years (that number equals 2011 AD minus 33 AD). The distance is gargantuan, but compare it to the distances that astronomers and cosmologists deal with everyday. For example, Andromeda is the closest galaxy to our own and it wheels through space at about 2,540,000 light-years away. That puts things into perspective! 1,978 light years from Earth is not even outside our own galaxy. The distance is gargantuan from one perspective, but not even a drop in the bucket from another perspective. I do not know the distances of many stars, but for what it's worth, Deneb (the 19th brightest star in the night sky) is about 1,400 light years away.

I really look forward to seeing what Haskell (& friends) will be getting us in the coming years with its static analysis suite and all-errors-checked mentality. I am hopeful that the static analysis toolsets developed in pure languages will be making their way down to the dynamic languages, leading to an overall code improvement for new code.
Thanks for the tips. I get better at Python every day.

My point was that your "entry level" car was the same as my "luxury sedan".

My previous ride was a 1990 BMW 535I and before that a 1982 Mercedes. Both purchased when they were over 15 years old and both for less than $3k so paying closer to $10k was quite. Move up.

And I agree that the b6 is the pinnacle of Audi style (at least currently). The b7 and b8 front ends are uglo-cars IMHO. I'm hoping to keep this car for as long as I can. I'm even looking to pick up a spare motor in case mine blows up (I'm getting current one chipped next week).

Question is about sharing hosting with spammers.

I just finished evaluating all the VPS providers based on price/resources/uptime for my closing launch... and when i thought i was done, a post on slashdot quoted my top option as "terrible reputation for hosting spammers and having a completely non-responsive abuse department" claiming it would impact mail out.

So, how realistic is that? Anyone ever had email blocked because of your hosting choice? I can think of reasons that would happen, but i'm curious about real anecdotes
Whenever I try to write code in Haskell that produces a type error I think, "there's another bug that would have been introduced in a lesser language".
It seems odd to me as well. They would be impacted by the legislation because as a domain registrar and DNS server, they'd have to invent and implement the technology to comply with SOPA (e.g., taking down a website).

You might think they have something to gain monetarily, but I'm having a hard time thinking of what that might be. They may take control of revoked/blocked domains, but those domains would have little to no value (since they are blocked) to resell.

The only thing I can think of is just that Bob Parsons or senior management agrees with it on a personal level and used the company name to back it up.

I do know that Go Daddy pretty aggressively defends it's own trademarks and copyright, but even that seems like a stretch to justify supporting it.

Question: can we use Carmack's post to say anything about statically typed languages versus dynamically typed languages? I'm versed in both and like both, so wanted others' opinions. I love(d) Haskell because it pretty much worked if it compiled (but monads are too restrictive); I work in Python because it's what most clients are using. But I read Carmack's post and think that I should be coding in a statically typed language again... No?
