I don't know about you folks, but I find that I can be effective in a lot of professional contexts on relatively little sleep (decision-making, brainstorming, demanding technical meetings, project management tasks), but I rarely get into the zone enough to code anything of any value unless I'm well rested.
That may be, but what good is it if no one uses it? Hadn't heard that http://hackage.haskell.org/package/git-object or http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ght or http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hit or gat http://evan-tech.livejournal.com/254793.html were especially fast.
Thank you; I stand corrected.
Sure, but "the Internet sent me" was a brilliantly concise way to give context to the question (and be funny, and memorable). These Q&A sessions are fast-moving and questions with long rambling introductions are not good ones. "There's a site on the internet called Reddit, which is an aggregator of links with a large community, and I posted there to see..." No.

While everyone was debating about whether Google was evil and a monopoly with 70% of search, Microsoft marches on with a desktop monopoly of 90% and a similar Office document monopoly.

Are you still feeding Microsoft? They are still a big problem, and have been for almost two decades.

This isn't a regular news article, it's a special editorial section. This seems like a very appropriate subject.

I built a similar service that starts with github data and lets you add whatever you want to it. It's more than just language skills you want to hire for.

It uses a nice visualization:
http://getvouched.com/visualizations?id=maxdemarzi

Try putting a github username or use the drop down list on the page.

Ultimately you get this profile: http://getvouched.com/users/max/vouches

It uses pagerank + proximity, so if a developer who does have his stuff on github vouches for you, you get all that credit without having to use github.
yes its very low production as its just me ;-) i appreciate you looking so thank you, i was only going for honesty that thats it, so I appreciate what you have said
Still no block cursor. :(

I've found/modified a little plug-in to simulate it, but it's not ideal.

I love Sublime, and I'm sure it seems trivial to most folks, but as a developer with poor eyesight, this is the one feature I want the most.

At least fonts can be larger now.
It's an interesting question, and in my little world the answer is full of caveats. Opinion and a nose for lies is wonderful when the journalist sets themselves after factual accuracy and digging up the truth. It is tiresome and unpalatable when a journalist begins interjecting relatively unsubstantiated personal opinion where it doesn't belong.
Yeah. I try to write as though I don't work for Google, because I know what the future looks like a few months out and am not supposed to tell anyone.

Honestly, the culture of Google is very "write software for the sake of writing software". I promise you that anything that looks evil is a mere accident; sometimes programmers don't consider the ramifications of their actions. Google doesn't want to know who your friends and family are to sell your information to credit reporting agencies; they want to know so that when you type "photos" you get photos that are actually relevant to you. (Similarly, Google wants to know your travel history so it can tell that you prefer Oneworld carriers, and when you search for flights, display results in the order that's most relevant to you.)

There's no way to prove this, though, and that's what's so frustrating. Come work for Google and you'll see :)
Yes. But they do a lot of these editorials, which seem to get linked frequently. I guess that's what I end up seeing. I see more links to the NYTimes talking about itself then I see links to news on the NYTimes.
don't forget the good old sourceforge and freshmeat.

besides, only about 10%, if not less, of registered github users do actual coding. Most of the users just follow the updates or fork and add patches.
Dear Google, Please Stop Hitting Yourself
Agreed.

Also, be aware that many non-expert attempts to develop compression algorithms turn out to be flawed. However, it sounds like you've developed a compression pre-processor specifically targeting JSON-like structures, which seems like a much more plausible accomplishment than a non-expert developing a brand new general-purpose compression algorithm that can beat LZW.

All that said, if I were considering hiring you I would be much more interested in your ability to rigorously analyze the strengths and limitations of your algorithm (rather than the algorithm itself). Plus, without that rigorous analysis it makes it much more difficult for me to judge the quality of your algorithm.
This article pointed out something I hadn't really thought about: random album pictures on facebook get more real estate than profile pictures in the news feed. If I started posting political items through that huge block of news feed, I bet people will start ignoring all my posts...

Driving school
The one choice that most of us are bound to make at some point in our live is "Which driving school to join". Most often, we do not give the question much relevance or importance, and more often than not end up choosing the one that lies closest to our home in the blink of an eye.
Culinary arts
You obviously know that the key to a successful career in the culinary arts field is to find the right school. You should do whatever you can to choose which or learn more about featured culinary schools and look for culinary arts programs in your area.
goo.gl/39SLa
Ah, but the issue isn't you knowing which 'item' you're dealing with. It's that the IDE doesn't know, and therefore can't jump you there instantly if you ask it to.

Instead, you have to open the file in question and go find the method using one of the fiddly text-based methods that the article mentions.

So no, we're in agreement that the entire codebase belongs in your head. It's just nice to have your IDE also have the entire codebase in its head, in the actual configuration it is, rather than just knowing about a bunch of text files containing words that have no meaning to it.
a common way of communication is always appreciated, standards enforced are never agreed, I only wish life was simple like this..

We have had "smart TV"s for a while now in the form of wiis, Xboxs, and PS3s attached to a big screen with the only difference being additional cost for the secondary box. I have as of yet to see anything engaging outside of streaming content aka netflix or hulu(not counting their primary function of games.)
The line about Krugman made me laugh.

Just a year ago when I was a finance and econ student there was a big controversy because Krugman would publish an article on the NYT and within minutes there would be several comments refuting all his points. Many even provided PHD-like citations that clearly showed Krugman lied. That was one of the first times the NYT limited comments to less than 100 words, that way arguments could not be made.
lol i like this, it will not write the code, but if you have an idea it forces you to think about it and whether you should spend money on it and if you spend money on it how much money it will generate for you..
While pithy, your statement isn't entirely true. They're asking what kind of newspaper they should be. Regardless of how objective they are in their corrections, there will be those who see such a move as legitimizing editorialist in news articles. At the end of the day, we are trusting the author and editor to be the final arbiters of truth. There are those who would feel, perhaps rightly, that this oversteps their role as journalists.
Here's an example:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/romneys-claim-that-ob...

>Romney suggests, Obama does not believe in American strength and greatness.

> Asked by a British reporter whether he thought the United States was uniquely qualified to lead the world, Obama answered: “I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism.” As Romney put it in his book, this “is another way of saying he doesn’t believe it all.”

> But Obama was just getting warmed up. His next sentence was: “I’m enormously proud of my country and its role and history in the world.” He continued: “If you think of our current situation, the United States remains the largest economy in the world. We have unmatched military capability. And I think that we have a core set of values that are enshrined in our Constitution, in our body of law, in our democratic practices, in our belief in free speech and equality, that, though imperfect, are exceptional.”

So, I think here that Mitt Romney is clearly being disingenuous if he's claiming, based on this, that Obama doesn't believe in American exceptionalism. It's dishonest. Nevertheless, if I squint at the first paragraph, I really can interpret Obama as at least downplaying American exceptionalism. And, if you already suspected that Obama were a liar, then you could try to claim that the first paragraph was revealing while the second paragraph was fluff.

So I would have no problem with the NYTimes adding information that would clarify or discredit a 3rd party's statement, like the full text of the Obama quote referenced by Romney. But it seems extreme for them to follow up with something like "Mitt Romeny is lying here".
Yeah, I was worried about that. Such a shame; Apple's the only one losing out on the opportunity. Codea rocks, but I'd like to see a more useful editor. Even without a real compiler or debugger.
Unlike smartphones in 2006, I think it's clear what TVs need to do. The problem isn't technological, but political/financial.

TVs just need to do what they do now, but better:

1) HD/3D movies, TV, games -- all on deman
2) Remote/Voice/Gesture/Expression/Tablet/Phone interaction
3) Fewer wires, especially for audio
4) Bigger and cheaper
5) Recommendations from social and coll filtering (I want them split out)

The real problem is almost purely, how do you get on-demand HD content (movies/tv/games) on the device at a reasonable price and logistically easily (I don't want to have to pay Netflix, Hulu, Comcast, Spotify, Microsoft, Valve, etc... -- just one place I pay and I get service for everything).

Exactly, that this law is even discussed and brought to public attention is unthinkable.

With this law the accuser becomes the judge and the executioner. It's like the police shooting first, asking questions later. It's like silencing political opposition in the name of progress. It's like detaining prisoners indefinitely without trial ... oh wait!
"Sounds like the reporter expects Google to be able to scrape and index all tweets in real time."

Do we know how this worked on the technical side "back in the days" when tweets appeared on Google? Did they share a database, or did Google actually scrape in close to real time? (I can't imagine the second alternative being particularly efficient for any of them, though)
Author of the js side here. I'll definitely look into seeing how much extra bulk will be needed for this. We're trying to keep the file as small as possible and generally as cross-browser friendly as possible.

It allows easy screwing around with nontrivial system configurations without worrying about interfering with other important configurations. Say, if you want to mess about with an assortment of Linux installations, $25 gives you a platform cheap enough to have several handy to tinker with and still leave primary computer(s) in their workable state; >$250 may give you pause because you may not have very many units subjectable to misconfiguration, crashing, system wipe & reinstall, etc. I'd like to tinker with various OSes, but at present all my computers are either expensive enough they must be devoted to useful reliable purposes, or are cheap enough they're grossly underpowered to do anything interesting. The RPi is cheap enough - and easy enough to slap on any available I/O - to do frequent ground-up tinkering with.
This is an old email... there's been many improvements to both JGit, Java/JVM and other areas of interest.

Shawn and I gave a presentation at the Googleplex not so long ago about JGit [1]. In particular, you may be interested in the 'JGit at Google' section.

There are some cases where JGit is faster than CGit, but the benefits of JGit are that it's easy to embed. There are projects like gitblit and other IDEs that use the library. On top of that, you have crazy folks like NGit [2] who cross compile the library using Sharpen so it can be used by the .NET community...

Haha, I was working on the same idea today!
Mean would be a better choice if a typical real-world application were split approximately equally between each of these tasks. Which is of course patently untrue, particularly so because writing number-crunching code in Fortran does not prevent you from writing your hash-table code in something else (note how the best C binary-trees code is actually calling an external library).

Comparison of medians is nice because it shows that for approximately half of fairly diverse tasks one language is faster than another, which imo is a much more interesting statistic.
In my testing it does. If you've set that option and it doesn't look any different, then perhaps the element you're attaching to is the full size of the page? The attach-to-element feature is for people who say, only wanted to cover the header of their site. There's some hack in there to figure out the position and height of that element and have the popover cover that (also, if the element is too small, the popover might be larger such that the message shows). Always open to bug reports.
I think what's most interesting about this is it is a great indicator of the public perception of copyright. If even the creator of the harshest pro-greed-based-copyright legislation can't uphold the most modest of copyright provisions, I think that's a clear indicator that copyright is in need of reform in the opposite direction he proposes.

He himself can't respect the very laws he champions on his own public facing website.
The news has been in a race to be first for decades. Now, twitter and blogs will win that race, every time.

If news media isn't going to revert to solid journalism, then they'll simply die off and be replaced by technology and crowds. The current depth of reporting is not really more significant than listening to any random commenter or person stringing together unverified 'facts'.

Incidentally, I've been trying for two months to get a local news reporter to admit that she blatantly misreported something. The level of integrity shown so far is on par with a sixth grader whose dog supposedly ate her homework.
If we asked a good sample of Chinese citizens if they valued freedom of speech more, I wonder what their choice would be. Based on my Chinese colleagues, it will be probably split down the middle, i.e. 50% of them picking freedom - for reasons of the "lost generation".
have you tried to actually contact the head office for the specific hotel chains? for example, instead of going to a local Hilton and talking to general manager, why not try to get a meeting with someone at the Hilton's head office? i'm not sure how the hotel industry works, but i was under the impression that heado ffice sets certain policies and standards. so if you speak with someone there and they like your idea, they may agree to do a pilot run in one or two hotels and collect some feedback. if the feedback is good then they'll push it across all hotels.

on a side note, is it just me or is logo on the main page a bit pixelated on the top of the letters?

I am not a huge fan of the Economist, but I do think they manage the synthesis of reporting and critical analysis effectively by bluntly making value statements. For example, take an exerpt from an article on Romney:

"He says he created a net 100,000 jobs during his time at Bain. That figure is impossible to prove, but he could do more to argue that the benefits outweigh the costs."

I wouldn't have a problem with that sentence appearing in the Times.

Smart TV's are clearly the future... we're sitting at a similar point to right before the original iphone was released. Several companies are taking a credible shot at a smart TV, but no one's done it "right" yet. Obviously, everybody's waiting for Apple.

Everything else aside, what's the killer app for a smart TV? It's the HBO app, or the CNN app or the Arrested Development app... it's the direct delivery of content from producers to consumers, and cable companies better be ready to pivot away from delivering content to delivering data, or else.

What will a apple tv look like? I suspect it will basically be like an embedded Google TV (passthrough HDMI with Apple stuff overlayed), but done in typical Apple fashion.
As others have stated, how well someone codes is less important than how good a cultural and personal fit they are for the company. I want to know how passionate someone is, how well they do when pair programming, how well they communicate, etc in addition to knowing how well they can code. I can teach someone, who is willing, how to be a great coder, but I cannot teach someone how to fit well into the company culture or with my team.

In addition, I know too many developers who I would hire in a heartbeat that do not have repos on Github and far too many developers that I never want to work with that do have repos.

I also find it curious that on http://githire.com/order, when I refresh the page and see people like 37Signals and Omni show up. Not sure they are looking for new gigs.
That should be relatively easy, simply search guru.com or elance.com and find a freelancer or online services vendor. You can search the appropriate functional area for your needs, compare pricing options, and view past samples of work that freelancers have in their profile.

Hope that helps.
I think the Smart TV features should be built into a set-top box rather than the TV itself, and the TV should be used as just display. Think about 5 years from now, when you are not quite ready to upgrade your TV, but your "smart tv" is now incapable of the current features. The more expensive a product is, the slower the rate of innovation (ex cars, TVs, appliances..)
It is hard for a lot of people to reduce ambiguity in their instructions, to make no assumptions, so that the instruction will achieve the same result no matter who carries it out. That's why programming is difficult. You have to constantly think how someone else (a computer) will interpret you.
The Potentially Dark Future of Search
Both contrasts are impressive. I had a $100 ZX-80 kit and a $2400 original IBM PC (inflating to $200 and $5000 today's cash). Of course, what an RPi can do in contrast to both is thrilling. The point, however, is something we're losing these days: the utter freedom to do a complete ground-up software reconfiguration on a moment's notice with zero concern for cost or disruption. How many today have a computer which they would think nothing of erasing the primary storage and trying anything on a whim - and without having spent nontrivial cash for that ability? Unlike our familiar hard-drive based systems where the main storage is huge, not cheap, and hard to swap, old 5.25" floppy-based systems had the ability to have complete OS configurations, swappable & bootable in seconds, on media costing pocket change. Sure some of us can emulate the experience to some degree, or as result of substantial costs already spent have tinkerable hardware around, but few - especially the kids the RPi is intended for - have robust systems at hand which can be messed with that fast & cheap with little thought.

Let my toddlers at the home computer with no supervision? Nope (not after deleting several apps off my iPad). Give each an RPi and let 'em have at it? Oh yeah - where do I order? and can I get one in pink and one in OD green?
