Thanks for your thoughtful reply, Kevin. I agree with you on the version numbering, on incrementing the middle number for bigger changes.

I'll talk to the CFEngine, Inc. guys about bundling my example config files into the package, having simple practical workable examples (that one can adopt to ones own use) would go a long way in helping people get started.

Agreed we need to improve the whole "up and off the runway" process.

Thanks again for your constructive feedback.

If you have any suggestions on my Cfengine example collection, drop me a line - aleksey at verticalsysadmin dot com

Best,

I've not only been talking to my target market, but the more I dive into this project, the more I see myself becoming my target market…

I think that I've seen a few collectives run into these sorts of accountability issues, and it would probably be up to the artist with respect to what they'd do for it.

With regards to a TV approach, I already know of two genres with low-hanging fruit: world-wide documentaries/vlogs and talking-head kind of comedy (ala funny or die, parks and recreation, or the office).

I have no idea how to raise money, but I really don't want to raise money until it's already profitable, that way the collective would only be answering to itself.

EDIT: Thinking about it more, a crediting system based on popularity and income could build an incrementally higher fee for making it free, but that money would transparently go into making the production better. Like buying another set for a film, or putting together a music video for a band.

Graduating in 3 years a good idea?
I am a junior at a top 3 engineering school majoring in computer science. I have the option of graduating in 3 years vs. 4. If I graduate early, I will likely work at a startup or do my own startup. I have several internship experiences at startups as well as at Google. The main benefit I see of staying the 4th year is it will allow me to take a few more cs classes which will help with grad school admissions if I choose to apply later on. I might be interested in getting a masters in CS at some point, but i'm not fully committed to that.

The problem with China's economic strategy is that they keep building stuff with their own taxpayer money to "keep jobs" and to "increase the GDP", which makes it look like the economy is going well. But this can only last for a while before the economy collapses on itself, because they can't keep spending with no real returns.

This is why giving people Government jobs to solve the "unemployment" problem is only going to work in the short term at most, if at all. There are 3 problems with this:

1) These are not very productive jobs, they are wasteful, and only exist to keep some people employed

2) You're transferring money from some people to keep others employed, on their own money, with no real economic benefit for them

3) The money could be used for much more productive jobs or investments

Umm no...but let me try to reword what I said in that language:

Although I absolutely agree that it is totally irrational to think of women as inferior in anything , my primate human brain cannot be convinced by reason alone to discard all its biases.Therefore I stand as an example of a young male nerd who as a result of his interactions with the opposite sex is developing negative biases towards them.

Well, shaggy, from my talking to sysadmins at large, most are not using any kind of automated configuration management at all. They are using ssh for loops, and that's their automation. Pushing changes.

So when I say configuration management is a new field, I mean the ideas are just starting to go from niche to wider adoption.

This year was the first year at LISA (Unix sys admin conference) where most people had some kind of configuration management solution -- and LISA is to a large extent early adopters.

So now the early adopters have adopted the technology -- it will take years for the rest of the field to catch up.

Just out of curiosity, I'm not aware of any configuration management software preceeding CFEngine - kindly share?

I agree there is a lot of room for improvement, and I see improvement happening, in all the modern tools, this is great.
Okay, I probably should have been more specific - they might take up more memory, but you generally need less of them to do the same thing in RISC, so that usually more than compensates.

Instruction decode isn't really difficult - 4-way decode could arguably be called difficult, but there's not much of that.
We stepped in to stop misleading advertising, and several other non lethal behaviors because of their derogatory effect on the lives of others.

We don't have to have games kill people to recognize that they are designed to manipulate and addict/engage its audience in a manner inimical to the interests of people.

Unfortunately, once we agree on the above points, we reach the real defense of social gaming, the slippery slope argument.

I believe that in due course of time, people will leave social games, after getting bored of them. The gaming market is not static.

At the same time that doesn't mean we stand back and let evolution go on its merry way. At the very least, we should be able to agree that there are some metrics we can analyze, perhaps the risk reward schedules and payout schemes, and compare them to their ability to create repeat behaviors/addiction in a percentage of the population.

(Heck even if we did wait for games to kill, we would have to work through the defence which will say: "well those people couldn't control themselves, so its just an outlier, or a freak case." )

Adjective:
Less advanced, esp. mentally, than is usual for one's age.
Synonyms:
backward - delayed

Seems fine to me, especially considering it's no longer socially acceptable to use the word to describe the mentally disabled. Using gay however, is a completely different scenario. Retarded reflects on mental performance, while gay reflects on sexuality.

English already has so few words - we might as well use the ones we have.
Maybe you could package it up into a jQuery plugin. Stick it on your site, let people use it free for non-commercial purposes, and require people to buy a license for $100 per site if they use it commercially. Might make some money, though probably not tons.

I wouldn't bother worrying about obfuscation. Most companies will gladly pay when required and you can occasionally Google around to find offenders.

Totally love your suggestion. I myself am on my own Startup for over 4 years now.
Once I realized that Startups should be treated like marathons, I myself started running. I run about 5km, five or six days a week. To me running has had a big contribution in staying healthy and coping with stress.
An Easier Way for Startups to Reach College Students?
I randomly had this idea the other day and instead of pursuing it aimlessly I wanted to know if there was a legitimate need for this and if people would actually pay for it.

I have very good connections with student groups and student leaders in colleges all across the United States. The logic was: college students tend to be a great demographic for a lot (not all) startups. They are, in general, young, tech-savy (for the most part), educated, and have a wide social circle.

The idea would be to generate buzz and excitement for startups that we work with on various college campuses across America. I won't go in to too much detail but the result would be direct feedback from random samplings of college students, student held promotional events, and a large influx of college users using your product/service.

Please comment, advise, shut me down, whatever. If you don't think this is a good idea: why not? If you think it is a good idea, how much would you pay for it?

EFF asks: Who's flying unmanned aircraft in the US?
> I guess the problem is that you added a bunch of strangers to Google+. That's not what Google+ is for.

Google+ is a social network. As such, I have a hard time imagining that it can be successful by forcing users to use it in a specific way. If the people using the service want to leverage the service in a certain way, there doesn't seem to be anything "wrong" with that. In fact, I'd argue that Google should take such usage as feedback into improving the service to better incorporate the new usage patterns.

EDIT: This perhaps should go as it's own comment, but I'm going to throw it here for the time being:

People like to use social networks as a public publishing platform as well as a way to share with friends. This is to some extent supported by Google, as they have encouraged people to use G+ as a blogging platform. The behavior we see with the HN circle is (I'd argue) just people attempting to hack functionality onto public side of G+, which IMHO is a part of G+ that is sorely lacking.
Forex Online Trading-What Can Forex Traders Do to be Successful
We split our time between consultancy and our startup projects. The consultancy side produces a lot of documents (specs, quotes, reports, etc.) Sometimes we write these collaboratively with the customer. Then we use Word. When we write them on our own we use Latex. We use XeLatex for pretty fonts and the very flexible memoir class. We have a standard template all our docs use. Latex is so much more productive than Word, due to abstraction, easy VCS integration, and living in our text editors.

Meh. It's not that good anyway.
I think that's an excellent idea.. plus it leverages on your existing network of student groups etc.

But I do wonder.
1) how do you plan to incentivize students to provide quality feedback?

Would definitely pay money, even a monthly subscription if the students could be like an idea testing community.

As for how much, really can't tell at the moment. I guess it depends on the quality and quantity of feedback
How good is the interop with existing js libraries? Would i be able to use webgl or three.js?
I don't think Google would do a complete or even extensive blackout but I don't think SLAs would be the deciding factor (if Google has (m)any). I suspect if there was semi-consensus internally for Google to do something, it would figure out a clever way to participate.

This is why something like HackerNews deciding to participate matters. Not because of the HN audience but because of the momentum needed to get the bigger guys to go along.
yes...but when you get a lot of rejections from recruiters dont you console yourself by saying/fantasizing that one day when you are truly successful you will ignore all recruiters and maybe get one or two out of a job...if you see all the threads on HN about recruiters people are easily biased against recruiters.

We are all human beings with weakly rational brains.Only thing wrong here is that it is not socially acceptable to be biased against women!
Grandmom’s Spirit and Steve Jobs
Thanks loceng, that's exactly right. I haven't applied for a single job yet but just thought I'd try something a little different this time around. I currently manage a team of software architects and I've probably conducted over 100 phone and in-person interviews in the last 2 years. I can tell you that the resume (online or paper) never means that much.

Until you talk to someone you just never know. I've seen crappy resumes that turned out to be strong candidates and great resumes where they didn't make it past the first 5 basic questions.

Yeah, that was sort of the point of that. I wanted to scare off certain types of companies. I may end up removing it though just to clean things up a bit. The feedback I received on it was about 50/50.

1) The same could be said for many private sector positions.

2) This assumes your money is yours & not a form of currency issued by the country you're doing business in. Suggesting that you'd make a whole lot more money or hire a lot more people if the government hadn't existed or wasn't taxing you as much or at all is a rather naive view. Many have flocked to China exactly because of the outcomes from the way it's government runs the place. Also pushing back an impending economic collapse isn't entirely without short-term economic benefit.

3) People have different ideas on what a productive job or investment is.

One could even paint the opposite picture with the US, suggesting that lower interest rates, taxes & deregulating private sectors to "create jobs" lead to a lot of meaningless construction jobs & is just another way to get to the same result.
High Scalability: New Relic collects 20 billion metrics each day
The answer is no, people who say yes are wrong.

You black out your website to raise awareness to the cause. I think it is a fair bet that an extremely high number of HN users know a lot about SOPA / PIPA. So there is no point doing this to educate regulars.

Perhaps news will spread. Sure, it will spread in the tech community. In the tech community knowledge of SOPA / PIPA is well known. Shock waves from HN being blacked out won't travel to the general public or politicians.

But what if it does travel to the public / politicians. "A website called Hacker News blacked out? Hackers are bad right? A bit like pirates which this bill is protecting us against? Shouldn't this site be blacked out anyway?"

HN has an unfortunate name. You black out a website to make a statement. With HN which is so obviously anti-SOPA/PIPA I don't see the point.

Now.. if gravatar blacked out all of the avatars for a day. Or Google + Bing + Yahoo turned off the switch for a couple of hours at the same time... that would be a statement.
Such a sad sad tale. Given the legal battles I doubt there will ever be a frank post mortem on the whole shebang which is really too bad. In science many good things can be learned from failure, and I expect the same could be true here.
Yes on the definition of function. I did also use VBA to make certain visual effects possible (the one I remember was some advanced conditional formatting).

On VBA being replaced-- I don't know. It depends who the users you're talking about are. Most people I worked with didn't know any VBA because our models weren't that complicated. I in particular was working on a project that was computationally heavy.
I think yes - not because it will matter to the users of HN, of which I imagine 99% are against SOPA, but because it will generate media interest and stories.
You seem to have a lot of career experience and have built up a nice resume for yourself. But you need to ask yourself if you have and will have enough college experience. Prepping for a job is not the only thing you should be getting out of college. You haven't mentioned anything outside of work-related things, and perhaps I am being presumptuous in assuming this, but it sounds like you've been very busy with one aspect of college. If this is the case, do yourself a favor and enjoy your time at school. Let loose, make mistakes, have fun, be crazy. There is so much more to college than academics. Don't deny yourself what it has to offer by rushing to finish. Stay the four years.

Applying SMART principle for writing a book 
This post is about the SMART principle that helps you to start and keep rolling projects. I
outlined how I use SMART for my eBook project.

I recently read the book Pragmatic Programmer, in which Dave Thomas explained the SMART principle.
SMART is an acronym and each character of the principle has the following meaning:

- S (specific goal) - what is the goal of the new project you want to start
- M (measurable) - list all the features you need to accomplish to start the project
- A (action) - when will you start
- R (realistic) - it's a small project and I know that I can be ready with it during the
demanded time frame
- T (time) - in the beginning of July 2012 everything should be fine
Yes, Even I agree with you. IT is a no . Almost all of us know about SOPA/PIPA . Blocking HN will only hinder us in getting the news , many submit interesting articles that take a stance on SOPA that only help us. Instead start telling your friends and colleagues who are not tech savvy , how this will affect their lives. Thats what I have been doing .
As always with Godaddy, you need to take a look at the bigger picture.

A couple of years ago, a lot of domain tasting was going on. If you registered a domain, you could "return" it within 7 days and get your money back. Bad people abused this to "taste" how many visitors they would get, returning the domain on the very last second. Sometimes they even registered and then returned the domain multiple times in a row.

Bob Parsons, then CEO of Godaddy, was very outspoken against this practice (after all, it made no money for domain registrars like him and occupied domains that he could sell to his customers). Don't get me wrong, domain tasting sucked, but it sucked especially for domain registrars. Thankfully a change in registration rules has since stopped domain tasting.

Which is good for Godaddy, which is now one of the leading "domain parking" and "domain aftermarket" registrars. Which means in layman's terms that they are holding domains ransom for advertising revenue and on the chance that they can squeeze a lot of money from whoever wants the domain. If you let a Godaddy domain expire, chances are that they, knowing how much traffic it brought to you, will renew it for themselves, slap ads on it and wait for some poor schmuck to pay hundreds of dollars to get that domain.

So, to sum it up. Godaddy didn't like people squatting domains when there was no money in it for them, but now they like it a lot because they get a lot of money from it. You may think it is reasonable to not be liable for hosted domains. In my opinion, Godaddy systematically caters to domain squatters, and this should be punished. It's the same for spammers. You can't blame a webhost if a spammer abuses his service, but a webhost that almost exclusively caters to spammers must be stopped.
