I think what's going on here is how instagram and social media in general appeals to a shorter span, in the same way that many people will happily knock back four 45 minute Breaking Bad episodes, but the thought of sitting down and getting emotionally attached to a whole new group of characters, for a whole 100 minutes?

It just seems like a huge investment of time.
Evenue Drop Application, sustain n minimize effort
I don't think the article said 'current salary', it was talking about 'how much do you want'. Those two are different - when you're the first to name a number of how much you want, you can anchor the discussion.

Of course when you run into a company who feels they should pay you according to what you made in your previous job, they'll think the two are within 10% or so of each other. I think it's fair to never name how much you make now, but being the first to say a number isn't always a bad thing, I think, especially in today's market (and assuming that one has a good insight into one's market value).

Let's make Desktop Notifications on Firefox a reality
Like probably a lot of other webapp developers, you know the power of chrome's webkit-notifications, allowing you to post notifications on top of all windows (http://0xfe.blogspot.com/2010/04/desktop-notifications-with-webkit.html), now unfortunately, this is only implemented in chrome and firefox mobile. In a world where web apps (and tons of tabs) become more prevalent I - as a dev - would like to be able to notify my user regardless of wether the tab is open or not.

My suggestion: let's upvote this ticket: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594543 maybe add a short comment on how this is important to you and let's make it a piece of the next firefox version. I'm hoping that once desktop-notifications are available on both chrome and firefox that others might follow suit.
No, it just says that if anybody uses your software, they are entitled to get the source code. So on most GUN+Linux distributions, this is already the case. Not so much on the internet when you use a service on a website.

The AGPL basically establishes the same concept on the internet that the GPL has established on the desktop.

Yes. Be polite, have an accurate view of what your time is worth and be open about what you're asking and why.

People may not want (or have the authority) to change the deal, but if they are offended by you asking you do not want to work with them. It implies they are looking for a drone, not a real human being.

I've worked in several local government jobs in the UK, where budget (and 'Single Status payscale') constraints mean that the hiring manager normally doesn't have the authority to change the salary offered. Just asking the question has still given me an invaluable insight into the manager's way of thinking.

This is a bit silly to say 'Hollywood' is trying to destroy the internet, yet somehow these independents are 100% separate from all that is evil and it is that black and white.

Note most of these films are from small studios, but the majority of these are distributed by Sony Pictures Classics or Fox Searchlight, etc, which if evil 'Hollywood' didn't get involved most of these pics wouldn't be able to be seen at your local town cinema, let alone maybe even get the money to be produced.

So to say that Transformers 3 is Hollywood because it sucks, yet The Descendants is isolated on it's own non-evil island away from Hollywood is a bit silly.
What has to be noted here is that this is published on Russia Today. From my understanding of it, it tries to offset the US crazies like Fox and its ilk...

What advantage could AGPL give the developer (assuming they are writing OSS for commercial rather than ideological reasons)?
I had originally included a lengthy argument against disclosing your salary to recruiters and I agree with you completely. That element was removed due to the fact that the post was aimed at graduates who most likely won't have to deal with recruiters for a number of years.
That's a really good point! Many other languages too, including Swedish. Not too many sites can combine a useful resource as well as studying.
Gotos are common in C for error handling because the other alternative of doing an if/then/else with all the error handling is so verbose. It's used to work around the lack of exceptions in C.

You still should not use gotos for regular control flow. And jumping backwards with goto is bad practice in most cases.

Then let me rephrase: It is possible to DDOS a site without leaving a trace that clearly shows malicious intent and thus establishes criminal liability. So while most DDOS attacks are indeed motivated to destroy, they are not the clear cut crime that some would like them to be.

I'm not taking sides here, it just occurred to me that portraying DDOS attacks as definite cyber terrorism is a problem in the discussion we have today and I think it's a slippery slope, similar to the "piracy" argument we hear so often.

With the win, City has extended it’s points to 54 with which Man United still left with 3 points in difference though they have secured 2-1 win over Arsenal to bring up 51 points on the score card.
There are people who are uncomfortable about the intrusions of various websites, but who use those websites anyway. These people "just" need a better alternative to switch.

Solar power on its own cannot supply base load electrical power. Period. Full stop.

Only in combination with an extensive power storage infrastructure could such a thing be possible. Constructing such things would easily cost as much, or more, as constructing all of the necessary PV plants.

Moreover, very substantial changes to the national power grid would also need to be undertaken.

At the best possible costs this work would easily exceed what it would take to build enough fission power plants to provide all of the base load, and that isn't happening with any degree of rapidity either.

i wake up at 5am on weekdays to go to the gym. i'm on the 520am bart train, get to the gym at 6am, workout till 730am, at the office shortly after 8am before anyone else shows up.

the days i do this (as opposed to the couple days per week i sleep in later to take my son to school) i'm far more productive and content than the other days.

i'm hooked.

i sleep in on the weekends, but never sleep more than 7.5 or 8 hours anymore. i can wake at 5am without an alarm, though i usually set it as a backup. but i'm almost always awake at 4:57 anyway, so i get up.

no problem.

Indeed.

You have to buy land. You have to pay architects and engineers to design your plant. You have to build facilities. You have to hire people to run it. You have to maintain it. And eventually it'll be decommissioned, which works out to an effective operating cost.

The reason why Linus Torvalds and others prefer to handle errors using goto is that it avoids the main branch of the code receiving an additional indentation, as it would if it were wrapped in a conditional. Not to do so would make the code less readable.

Note that these gotos are always local jumps (that is, they are in the same code block), at the same indentation level, and they are forward jumps (so the control flow is much the same as for a conditional). They are easy to understand and audit, and not similar to the goto examples that Dijkstra criticised for making code hard to reason about.

No. It's completely "voluntary" and the quotes are important: if your whole social environment standardizes on a platform, you're an outcast if you don't step aboard. If your professional environment standardizes on a platform, you're an outcast if you don't step aboard.

It's only actually completely voluntary if you have infinite money and no issue (and no repercussion from) completely dropping whole social and professional circles out of your life.

And that still requires the network/system is honest about it[0], when Google automagically creates a G+ account for you when you sign up for (supposedly) unrelated services or forces you to create one to access other content, "voluntary" is really debatable. Again, unless you have no issue shedding whole social circles instantly.

$0.001 per 27 seconds gives an hourly wage of 13.85 cents.

This system has to be using enforced labour, no-one will work for that little, even in the poorest countries. And that 13 cents figure is assuming that 100% of revenue goes to the individual worker.

Taking the best case from the reported average of 10-15 seconds, that means an operator can solve 360 captchas per hour; an hourly revenue per worker of 36 cents.

I have a suspicion that this makes use of a similar 'economy' as the one about Chinese prisoners being forced to farm gold in WoW[1]

If you have just ten 'workers' on 12 hour shifts, that's $43 per day, $301 per week, $15,652 per year. The numbers start to stack up fairly well in bulk - assuming all 1.5 million Chinese prisoners[2] were able to sustain 12 hour shifts 365 days a year and maintain an average of 10 seconds per solve (and that there was a constant supply of paying customers), that's over 2 billion dollars annual revenue. Obviously that number's way off, but probably not by an order magnitude.

> have a notion that all filmmakers are swimming in money anyways.

The question whether copying is right or wrong has nothing to do with the amount of money filmmakers are swimming in. Person A sending a file to person B against the wish of author C is either wrong in itself or not. The only way to find out is a vote. Lets vote on copyright.

> If they knew the truth, maybe they would buy rather than copy

Whether somebody buys a copy or makes it himself also isnt up to debate here. The question is whether copying itself against the wish of the author should be illegal or not. Copying can be legal and you'd still have people buying copies to support the author. I can copy but I still buy. The legality of copying doesnt exclude buying.

> You are saying this as if there was something wrong with that.

It is wrong that action X (people exchanging information) is artificially made illegal so somebody can make money by providing service X. It is basically outlawing DIY. I think that this is wrong, you maybe dont. The only way to find out whether this should be illegal or not is to collectively vote on it, not by bribery behind closed doors.

If the majority decides that it should be illegal because they value the influx Hollywood output more than personal freedoms, I'd accept that even though I personally think it shouldnt be so. But what I certainly wont accept as a behavioral guidance are "deals" made between a few influential stake holders and bribeable politicians who are essentially circumventing democracy. As long as I know that my fellow citizens, my friends and family dont consider copying wrong and objectionable, there is no reason for me and anybody else to blindly obey a purchased, undemocratic law like a serf and like feudalism never ended. The only outcome I'm personally willing to accept is a community vote. Lets vote on copyright.
Will be interested to find out what they say. Glad I didn't renew my account when it expired recently.
There are a lot of local root exploits in Linux the past few years. But ever since Linux dropped the stable-unstable version numbering scheme, different distributions ship a wide variety of kernels + their own patches instead of "the latest kernel" because the latest may not necessarily be stable. How do I find out which local root exploits my distribution's kernel is vulnerable against, and how do I find out how quickly they get fixed? I'm on Debian 6 right now.
Jumping too soon at Partnership deals and thinking that the other parties are better than you!
love that one :)
I can see where you are coming from but ultimately I disagree. The strong counter-argument in the comments here has prompted me to write a follow-up post clarifying my position in detail so hopefully that will help eradicate the notion that I would weaken a candidates negotiating position for my own benefit regardless of whether I do it consciously or otherwise.
My point is that contrary to intuition debiting (and spending) $84 million from a bank account or invested in the stock market doesn't necessarily correspond to an $84 million short term decrease in the spending power of companies spending revenues generated by borrowing from that bank or floating on that market.

Because of the amount of credit in the system, that $84 million can be simultaneously spent by many people anyway; the government joining the spending party might crowd out rather less or rather more private sector investment expenditure than they collect through tax revenues.

The only certain loser is the rich person.
Actually no. He is making a statement exactly on pricing. You've got the liberty not to buy it. But he's asking ALL software developers to stop making software for money. How is that freedom?
"So if they stop making it – that would be great!"
I'd love to see up to date stable grsecurity kernel repositories for the major distributions (ubuntu, debian, rhel/centos) that provide patched versions of the distribution kernel. You can configure most of grsecurity via the sysctl interface. At the moment it is always a bit of hassle to patch & compile a kernel from hand even with the great debian/ubuntu kernel-package.

I don't think I'll use an extra distribution. But something like a hardened LAMP/LAPP stack for shared hosting out of the box in a distribution would be great (I think in terms of easy chrooting of users and php, secure permissions, etc.pp) However, I guess everyone has different needs and there is no one size that fits for all.
They debate endlessly about getting 'enough' customers who may need a feature instead of talking to potential customers and actually finding out. :)
I'd love to agree.
Can you please provide proof for that.
I only experienced the complete opposite. Even if it was "ok" it would have lowered our upside by a percentage on the long run.
