Fantastic read.

Being an aspiring entrepreneur, I tend to look to others that have made it, and see what I can learn from them. I became fascinated with biographies autobiographies of everyone from Richard Branson and Steve Jobs to Lance Armstrong to Anthony Kedis (red hot chili peppers). The single best one of them I've read is "From Pieces to Weight" by 50 cent. It written so well that you don't just understand why he made the decisions he did (becoming a drug dealer) you understand that you would have very likely make the same decisions, should you have been in his shoes. It really opens up another perspective on an individuals behavior, and has made me that much less quick to judge.
Agreed, ack is a really nice tool.
For me Facebook has become essential. Using it for hours and hours everyday is a choice though. You can benefit from having a Facebook account while only checking it for a few minutes a day. I use it as an address book, event planner, and messaging system.

I use the FB Messenger app on iOS largely as a replacement for SMS.
I check FB.com for details of events I am attending and to receive invitations I wouldn't otherwise (unless they were small events with a few close friends in which case I would receive a phone call).
I also sync my Facebook contacts through the iOS app to my phones address book which helps keep my contact info up to date.

Using these functions I get lots of benefit and don't waste a lot of time. I can waste time if I want but that is an active choice and not required to benefit from the service.

I think Facebook is going to start becoming more and more essential. It is becoming much more common that I meet someone new, and rather than exchanging contact details we just ensure we are both on Facebook and connect that way. I don't see this changing anytime soon.
While you have a point - many games are Windows only - I think it has more to do with focusing on the work rather than on the tool. Windows is intrusive. Ubuntu, much like OSX allow me to just let it flow.

On my case, Ubuntu has an edge because it resembles my servers more closely.
Yes, but your comparing the collective with the individual there. You have to consider the aggregate cost of non-seatbelt-wearers to the public, ie the cost of all avoidable injuries resulting from nonuse of a seatbelt within a given jurisdiction, and including the opportunity cost of death or ongoing medical treatment as well as the direct costs.
it's a great benefit if you plan on never advancing on your career. Out of sight, out of mind...
Behave: Python BDD done right

Debate about the benefits and hazards of posts like this is healthy. I'm choosing to leave it up, but I'm grateful that you are speaking up.
I think this is a legitimate concern amd something that needs to be addressed. The internet and instant global news and information means that we are aware of the output of the entertainment industry immediately - and any attempt to stop that is just going to fail. There is no end to the technical arms race.

I remember vividly discovering that my PC's DVD-ROM drive was region-locked and that to watch anything from another region I had to allow the region to be changed and that there are was a limit to how many times I could change it.

I discovered this, being unaware of the region-locking mechanism, after buying several DVDs while travelling. It made me disproportionately angry and since then I've seen and noticed the situation getting worse and worse.
Well I'm the guy who runs that particular blog, and I can tell you I'm no marketing guru. While Reinaldo and I edited the post together, I'm pretty sure that the line was in his original text. (Just checked: it was.)

Maybe people keep saying Go feels like an interpreted language because it feels like an interpreted language? :-)
OnSwipe warning.
What do you mean by Lua leaving the caller to explicitly specify? Are you referring to earlier versions of Lua that used the explicit ^ upvalue sigil? Lua 5.1 (and 5.2) functions close over all local variables (including the implicit “self” introduced by function definitions with colon syntax), with the innermost ones first and no explicit upvalue sigil, much like Scheme.
Is Go's character type signed? If so, it's possible to make p negative, in which case this wouldn't apply:

if p >= len(em) {
panic(fmt.Sprintf("element index out of range %s: "+
"%d >= %d", t, p, len(em)))
}

although Go would still do its own runtime check for the dereference.
Agree with the above - lack of pre-installs is a major, major barrier, no matter how good the software is. Clearly there have been a number of missed opportunities over the years, with HP, Dell, Acer, probably others. Yes, they each have done suboptimal things with their preinstalls, but my sense it isn't just big companies messing up. Something is lacking somewhere in the FLOSS ecosystem such that there hasn't been a single mass market manufacturer stick with it. I don't think it is the software (anymore at least), but not sure of anything beyond that.

(Obviously there's System76 and Zareason and even smaller companies; I wish them wild success and will eventually purchase from them when I stop getting hand-me-downs.)

When I click profiles, it puts a big green button in top right but I have an entire empty page with nothing. Maybe you could put something there as well to let the user know they haven't created a profile yet?
The main reason, by far, that I am not happy using Ubuntu on the desktop is that unity works for almost everything except the things it doesn't work for, notably libre office. If the number two most important app after the browser fails to behave like everything else, like wtf?

I will note that I have used tons of hard to use obscure window managers, but if I'm using the "usable" option, it damn well better be consistently usable.
This - "Twitter... It reflects the true asymmetry of human relationships."

What I loved about Twitter is that it gave me the onus of choice to include or ignore people that may have attended school with me, may have worked with me at one point, etc... but for one reason or another I no longer wanted involved in my personal lives. (Yes, I know Facebook has privacy walls but we all know how permeable they haven proven to be, nevermind their disconcerting rewording of the Terms of Service).

Twitter is also more inclusive and consistent with the 'whole character' of a person. On Facebook it is easy to be typecast or become monofocused among one group.. family, college classmates, frat buddies, whatever.

On Twitter I can lament my horrible Redskins every Sunday and talk affiliate marketing, code, or fishing in Alaska without breaking a stride.

Not to mention, I think the barrier to communicating with people we identify as 'out of reach' is much lower on Twitter than any other medium. Name an author and with effort you can probably exchange with them on Twitter.

Getting them to friend you back on Facebook? Probably not.

Death is just as pointless. Considering that you have all of eternity to be dead, it seems like a mistake to cut your brief life short, in case something changes in your perspective during the rest of it.
I didn't mean to imply that you thought Android web intents were poor, I just don't think that <a> is a relevant analog. My point is that the nature of links are not the same. There is no way for a website to pass data back to you and the links are completely static. Generally if the links have url params then they link is generated by some serverside template renderer and its disingenuous to compare just the output from that program to the source from another program.

XHR requests are much more of an analog to Intents than <a> links are, and they are a similar order of complexity.
That's both an advantage and a disadvantage in my book. The upside is the scripting language is pretty awesome (in my mind). Presumably it would have taken significantly longer to write full handling for the vi scripting language. TextMate bundles seem to be more limited, except insofar as they invoke external scripts.

I do get what you're saying though. You lose a great deal of existing work because of that. I considered vico a new editor built on the base concept of vim, rather than a total replacement, and in that sense I think it succeeds very well.

I posted this comment in another thread about apps, but too late for it to really get any responses:

- app discoverability sucks ass

- apps require updates

- app development is unnecessarily tedious and must be done x number of times for x platforms

- iOS apps need to be approved by Apple, and you have to play the game by their rules if you want to charge money for them

- apps lack basic features of browsers - no universal find, no back/forward buttons, no bookmarking of pages or states, no organizing apps into tabs, etc.

Let's be honest: not counting games, the vast majority of the native apps out there would work just fine (or better) as websites. Add API's like access to the camera and there's even less reasons to develop a native app.
Apps will be relegated to games and highly sophisticated interfaces, which if I had to guess probably represents around 10% of all the apps out there (heck, most of the games out there could probably be done in the browser).
Many of my closest friends adhere to the "A2K" philosophy (Amish 2000) where they try not to use any tech released more recently than 2000. They fail as often as they succeed, but social networking is one area that they have largely succeeded in staying away from. In a stunning revelation (and a large dose of sarcasm), they found you do not need Facebook to remain close with your friends.

I left Facebook a year ago because of THEIR haranguing; if my closest friends refuse to use it then my news feed is just filled to the brim with useless noise from high school (non-)friends and distant cousins.

Don't extrapolate anything from this or try it at home; this is what happens when you go to school for computer science and work at a silicon valley tech company yet every single one of your close friends was an english major in college.

I've seen terrible JS, but I've seen much worse CS. Most programmers have relatively no sense of organization, and when unleashed with CS create things far more nasty than their JS counterparts.

Google Makes Street View Images Of Post-Tsunami Japan Available On Custom Site
Full screen mode in Lion is a little more than just maximizing window to fill the screen, though. Developer can/may/should also provide an alternative UI that's tailored for full screen and may update the UI depending on top menu bar's visibility. iPhoto and Photo Booth does this, for example. If bookmark bar is hidden in Safari, it will be shown when you point the mouse at the topmost of the screen (make the menu bar visible for extra controls).
One problem is stdio buffering. By default the C stdio functions will flush buffers after every line for file descriptors that are connected to terminals, but only every now and then for file descriptors connected to disk files or pipes. So if a program outputs messages on both stdout and stderr (like a compiler), then after filtering one of the streams through a pipe, the messages are not interleaved properly.
I've had a facebook account for several years but my overall sentiment toward it has become rather guarded. A young lady with whom I was friends in elementary sent me am unsolicited friend request. She was someone I'd been quite content to never hear from again. So I put my settings as private as I can and remove my profile from google. Then about a month ago, facebook suggests a friend who shares no mutual friends with me, whom I've never mentioned, and who I hadn't even seen in years. How did facebook know I knew this person? So now, I view facebook as a Rolodex. If I need to contact someone, I'll go there, but that's it.

There are definitely stages in the life of a startup that are pre-salary but less risky than ground zero. For example, some initial market validation, users, or even paying customers could be there. Or, there could have been a significant engineering breakthrough or two. Or, simply the fact that the startup has survived its first pivot is evidence the team has staying power.

++ exactly, no one gives a shit how clever or cute your code is, it should be easy to read, all the "noise" people speak of make this simpler.

I don't know about you, but the same phone travels in my pocket, so those apps are available to me 99% of the time. The available everywhere advantage of the webapp was a big deal because computers were heavy, and that's been diminished.

That said, some sort of standard interoperability between phone and laptop/desktop apps would be nice, and iCloud APIs seem to be a stab at that, but it's probably a pipe dream to hope that that will become universal. So maybe you're right.
My issue with the new syntax is bringing other people up to speed. Two syntaxes for the same functionality can be confusing especially when it's similar to another language such as javascript. I, a rubyist for a whole year and a half now (sarcasm), thought it had something to do with only JSON at first glance. I myself will be sticking to the hash rocket.
All I can say is, I'm way more productive with CoffeeScript than I ever was with JavaScript. Debugging can be a pain. But I'm using Jasmine heavily, and finding that a steady dose of TDD eliminates most of the debugging frustration.
The variable "p" is a rune. Although the rune type can have negative values, p will only have values >= 0 in this code.

A few thoughts that probably buck the trend around here:

‘”I knew all these things about her, but I’d never even talked to her,” said Mr. Balcomb, a pre-med student in Oregon who had some real-life friends in common with the woman. “At that point I thought, maybe this is a little unhealthy.”’

Honestly, why is that unhealthy? I think there's probably more to this story, but it's not like it doesn't happen in real life without facebook. You hang with your friends, you exchange stories about someone you don't know, and then one day you meet them and someone mentions “by the way, this was the person we were talkin about when we said bla bla bla”. Yes, facebook probably makes it easier, but I don't find this to be “unhealthy” in the least.

‘“I wasn’t calling my friends anymore,” said Ashleigh Elser, 24, who is in graduate school in Charlottesville, Va. “I was just seeing their pictures and updates and felt like that was really connecting to them.”’

I've heard this before. Honestly, I think it's because we're in this transition stage where somehow this feels less real than a phone call. I would argue that this is a real connection. These pictures and updates often communicate more than you necessarily would remember to in a phone call. The purpose of a phone call is different, the interactions there are different. It seems like if you're worried that you're not calling your friends anymore… You should start calling your friends again.

I know I feel like I am exposed to more articles and jokes and opinions via facebook than I would if I weren't on it. I interact with people I'm not super-close with, and that's fine. To me, it's like HN, but with a different set of people posting stuff to it, people who are close to my interests in a way completely different from HN. It's more personal in some ways, and I feel more free to be myself in some ways, while I feel more constrained in others. It is, in short, the very definition of a different medium of interaction. I won't say the same things on facebook that I do on HN, and I won't say the same things on either of those that I will with my friends when we're having a drink.

I'm not saying people shouldn't be free to shun facebook at all. But I think there are some common complaints about facebook that simply stem from a strange concept of what it is. Then again, I suppose if you're using it in a way that's harmful to you, and you can't figure out how to make it less harmful, it's probably a good idea to leave it altogether.

By the way, I probably spend at least 15 hours a week using facebook. That fact doesn't particularly bother me. In the past, I've noticed this goes down when I have other stuff to do. Facebook is just something that happens more often when I have more spare time. If I really wanted to do something different with that time, I would (though there's a decent argument here for death by a thousand papercuts—or facebook visits).

I do know how legal discovery generally works, there just wasn't much point getting into specifics when it doesn't change my point. Fundamentally, the court is what has the power to make requests, even though those requests originate from opposing counsel.

> What do you think insurance actuaries do all day, other than study insurable risk?

This is precisely what I meant by 'much effort'.

Let's make this concrete: If you frequented a lot of bars as a designated driver and the insurance companies gained access to your location data, what do you think would happen to your rates? How do you think this change compares to the change that would occur if they could somehow perfectly predict your expected payout?

And actually, yes, I am paranoid and proud of it. The corner cases of systems are the important ones; expected behavior is dead easy.

Taking this argument to its logical conclusion, Perl would be the ultimate language for 'professionals' to use, since it's full of shorthand symbols. And it's true -- if you wrote the code, Perl is very easy to scan. If you didn't write the code, however, Perl is not always so easy to scan.

Which is exactly the point of Ruby, Python, Coffeescript, and other similar languages. I´ve heard it said that on average, only 20% of programming is writing original code, and the rest is maintaining other people's code. For this reason, Ruby, Python, and Coffeescript are much easier to maintain for most people than JS, C, Perl, PHP, etc.

Personally, I know both JS and Coffeescript well, and have actually done much more work in JS over the years, but the first thing I do now when I get a third-party Javascript program is convert it to Coffeescript (using js2coffee). I can read and understand Coffeescript about twice as fast as I can Javascript, even though I started working with Javascript in 1998.
As amazing as ack is, it would take some effort to teach it how to grep through git history.
I think my main motivation for leaving was more to do with wanting to spend my spare hours online connecting with people rather than browsing. I know Facebook Chat exists but it was so buggy, cluttered and poorly designed.
The major difference I see between starting a company somewhere in the USA versus outside of the US (at least from my sheltered Australian perspective) is access to an engaged market.

Not to mention that the risk culture outside of the US is very different to what most American born entrepreneurs appreciate.

So while starting a company outside of a US tech-hub is definitely possible (and makes sense for many things) a web-startup gains some value from being surrounded by other complementary startups. It seems to spawn a culture whereby engineers at one firm are friends with engineers at another - allowing natural partnerships to form. Silicon Valley seems to attractive like people, accelerating the process.

In Australia, software engineers are hard to find and at least in Sydney - the best engineers get absorbed by the likes of the banks, Google, Atlassian et al.

Summing up, while its great that you can pull of starting in Philly (or anywhere else) - its probably still easier to start a company in Silicon Valley because of its start-up gravitational pull.
