I work in the game industry. It is, traditionally, a higher stress environment than other jobs. If someone can't take the stress of the job, is it the fault of the industry, the company, or the mental processes of the person in question?

I won't say that the company has no blame, but fobbing off 100% of the responsibility for suicide onto the company is faulty logic at best. When you're considering committing suicide, there's definitely an issue, and more than some of it may be in the way you process stress and/or your environment.

2012  brings a pause in disruption
Right, you really need people who can say "OK, no more bullshit on these status reports, just say what happened so we can tell how things are going".

Also, good quantitative skills, and a good understanding of scaling and system behavior are important.

Sysadmin here, 11+ years now, grokker of Perl/Python/Ruby/Shell/PHP, manager of physical and virtual servers.

I think the whole point is the developer no longer have to be concerned about the day to day management of the server (e.g. tuning disk I/O, manually deploying applications and services, setting affinity on processes, managing logs), as that will be shifted completely to the infrastructure managers. And that is fine. Infrastructure should be devolved completely back to the administrators and developers should just write code that runs automatically with no modification in the cloud.*

I am not sure what the last question supposed to be, but I assumed it implies that systems administration will be obsolete. It is possible that it will change,but consider this: in the past, most sysadmins worth their salt should at some point be able to write code. It is only recently (it seems around the late 90s) that there was a generation of admins that didn't have the technical chops to write code or even simple scripts. With the advent of cloud and the management tools that comes with it that requires a significant programming background to manage (e.g. writing Puppet or Chef code), this is a welcome return to the past.

*In theory. :)
Maintenance isn't "that" bad, but be aware if you're out of warranty and anything major breaks it will kill your wallet. I have an S4 so it's even pricier than the A models. If you know how to change your own oil, do it; you'll save $75+. As far as scheduled service goes, let Audi take care of it. It's expensive($600-ish), but they're extremely thorough. I have an aftermarket big brake kit and Audi quoted me $725 for new pads and installation. I did it myself for $250 (keep in mind, I have 6 piston calipers w/ 14.5" rotors so it's not cheap).
Hair Revitalash Ingredients
Well, even without the networking and stuff, I'm reasonably sure I would have eventually found something, yeah. The open questions, to me, are "how much longer would it have taken?" and "would it have paid as well?"

But my point was more that I was able to shortcut a lot of the usual rigmarole that it takes to get hired. And to the extent that I did go through any of it, it was obviously just a formality and there was no pressure or whatever, like you might normally expect. It's also just a nice ego boost to know you're wanted enough to where you can lose one job and have another lined up in a few hours.

Is radio dead in the USA? In Australia I think the radio culture is quite vibrant. Personally I download music from time to time that sits on my phone but I listen to the radio 99% of the time because it introduces and plays the best music anyway. The radio stations that I listen to are govt funded[1] so they don't have any ads and have a community focus of getting people to go see live concerts and listen to good music.

We also have commercial radio stations that play disposable child-like pop music (combined with horrible ads and drone-like presenters) that is well suited to 13 year old girls but still becomes popular with the masses. So there is something for everyone.

I don't support SOPA (not that it counts in Australia, or anywhere else for that matter) but I think that artists should get some money from somewhere for their efforts. People listen to the radio free but they still have the option of buying the album. Downloading the album free makes that option redundant.

In Australia people typically pay $40 - $70 a month for their internet which - if they use the allocated capacity - they are using to pirate music, movies and TV without ads. I'd prefer to see part of that money going to an artist fund rather than the ISPs and broadband resellers.

The point of buying from friends is that they rarely stick you with a known lemon.
It would probably work pretty well, if the artist can prove himself in a short video, and then ask for money so he can make a music video and do it all with more professional equipment.

This problem not only isn't unique to iOS dev work, it's not even unique to programming. Any custom work, from carpentry to bespoke tailoring to artwork, is more expensive than most people expect, even when they account for custom work being expensive. For instance, I knit, and have been asked more than once if I'd accept a commission (for, say, a pair of socks)---and when I decline, and say they couldn't afford it, they almost invariably throw out a number like $60 or $80, very expensive for a pair of socks but a small fraction of minimum wage for something that could take thirty hours or more.

The problem is that so much of what we buy is mass-produced that we forget just how expensive person-time is, especially creative person-time, since for most modern products this gets amortised over hundreds or thousands or millions of units. Even user-facing software has this issue, since the programmers do their work once and then the marginal cost of each additional copy is pennies or less. But custom work? There the cost is borne entirely by the one commissioning the work, and if it's an individual, or a small business or startup that has never had to purchase enterprise or custom software, they simply have no analogous experience, with software or anything else, of bearing the entire cost of everything.
It's not dead if you listen to country music, mexican music, christian music or talk radio.
Luasocket does async IO. It uses poll or select on Unix (calling it 'select'); I'm not familiar with what it uses on Windows. It's not "web scale", but is very easy to use, and works well enough for a couple hundred simultaneous connections.

Lua's convenient C API means that wrapping libev, libuv, or libevent is really not hard, if you want to go that route. (I have a libev wrapper on github, FWIW.)

The thing to keep in mind is that if you're writing high-throughput servers, you probably want to avoid parsing the network IO via Lua. While Lua strings are fine with arbitrary binary data (i.e., \0s are fine), it interns all strings; you'll have the overhead of converting every read into an atom/symbol, and it will spend a lot of time garbage collecting. (Lua makes this daring trade-off because it's usually a net win, and when it isn't, you still have the option of doing things in C instead.) Lua's great for handling all the control logic, though. Coroutines are particularly applicable there.

In a nutshell: If you're good with C, and understand the issues involved with performant async IO, Lua can work very well.
Yeah, two of the top mentioned features in the link is that Bootstrap 2 is built to be responsive and work on mobile devices.
It looks like it is the same data set. You could have used facebook to detect the number of people who list each company as their employer to build a more accurate picture.

It just doesn't say much if they are lifestyle businesses. Most businesses that are lifestyle businesses without technical degrees are owned by a variety of non MBAs.

MBAs have far too much opportunity cost to start a car washing business or some other small $50K/year business when even people in marginal MBA programs can easily make $85K first year working less than 40 hours a week.
I think the key word is "build". As someone with both a Master in CS and MBA and have previously been a CEO where I was hired to run the company (not a founder), and now starting my own business, I can attest that its the engineering side of me that pushes me to be a founder and build something from the ground up.

Although, I will say that some MBA schools are promoting entrepreneurship as a viable path more now than before. My alma mater (BYU) now has an Entrepreneurship major I believe.
Same here . I'm a competitive shooter and I've travelled internationally with live ammo lost in my bag that I found after unpacking. Total facepalm moment. It wasn't much, 5-6 rounds but I'm sure enough to get me in heaps of trouble had it been found in my carry-on. Then, they finally did detect something I had forgotten in my backpack again, but it was just airgun pellets, basically little pieces of lead.
I guess someone needs to make Bootpolish - a re-skinner for bootstrap elements.. The responsive grid and well layed out less templates are really what I see as the heart, so I'm guessing this would be well received!
I don't have the number in the database off the top of my head but I can say with certainty that the number of business graduates exceeds engineering graduates.

I'd be uncomfortable mixing our numbers with national numbers since our data is skewed toward smaller start-ups. Our data and analysis wasn't perfect but it does reflect the fundamental truth that engineers are more likely to lead companies.

I do think we could have clearer in that regard and that is my oversight.
Yep, similar story - they flagged my messenger bag for the 1" of water in the bottom of my stainless steel water bottle and made me go back, empty it out, and run my bag through the x-ray machine again.

OK, fine. But while I was opening my bag to remove the water bottle, I noticed my 3" folding knife clipped to the front pocket with my pens, etc! I very quietly emptied the water, closed up my bag and ran it back through the x-ray. They were satisfied and I was on my way.

Needless to say, I breathed a huge sigh of relief. (And feeling bold, left the knife in my bag for the return trip. Again no problem.)

Edit: typos.
they seem to have removed the few sample layouts they had before which you could copy/paste to start a full page. or am i missing that somewhere on the site?
That sounds likely. Note that is strictly for interactively typed commands. Witness:

ls foo

kamloops$ ./ls.tcl
invalid command name "ls"
while executing
"ls foo"
(file "./ls.tcl" line 3)
kamloops$ tclsh8.6
% source ls.tcl
invalid command name "ls"
% ls foo
foo

The TSA let me board with a lighter and an aerosol form alcohol. Didn't realize until I'd landed that they'd let me board with materials for a small-scale flamethrower. I donated the lighter to a smoker I saw at the airport and checked the other in my additional luggage before my return flight.
Interesting, thank you. I will take a look.
If they alter the screen times based on the incoming queue's composition, then it may not be so "random." (ie. "Oh, there's a scruffy bearded guy in line; hurry up and shoo this clean-shaven fellow right on through.")

Soccer Betting - How to Bet on Soccer:
On a global scale, soccer betting is one of the most popular forms of sports betting activities that take place it’s extremely popular Soccer betting is similar to wagering on professional baseball or the National Hockey League, in that it uses the money line, but there is one major difference. In soccer betting, not only can you place a bet on either team, you can also wager that it will be a tie game.

First thing Google would do is ruin the UI in the name of "unification" with Plus.

Second thing they would do is kill off all the nonfree features and support only the ad-supported use case.

Third thing they would do is congratulate the exec who eliminated customer service staff.
How many time constants could possibly be in their code base? A few dozen?

Instead of writing `foo(3.days)` they are writing `foo(T_3_DAYS)` with this library. Instead, why not just create a constant `BAR_DURATION = 3.days.in_seconds` and then write `foo(BAR_DURATION)`.

Problem solved.
Google Tech Talk: The Surprising History of Copyright
Get the domain knowledge through brute force,research,personal projects and determination. Even if it takes years. If you truly have passion it shouldn't be an issue.

"You can have invoice collection problems at $50k, too, but they're much less likely than at $500"

Where are you getting that from? From my extensive experience with both large and small transactions I don't find that to be the case. Assuming the profit potential is the same would you rather have the risk of 1 50,000 customer or 100 $500 customers? (Let's assume the $50,000 customer is reselling your product at the same margins).

"If you're not a bank, stop taking on so much credit risk. Businesses can deal with substantially sterner payment terms than you'd think to offer"

It's a risk that needs to be evaluated. Be to easy on credit you loose money. To strict you will loose business. Really no different than security policies or spam filters.

It also depends on your margin. If you have a large margin on your product you can afford to take a loss much easier then if you are selling Plasma TV's with very small markup.

Currently one of the products we sell is less than $50 and our cost is less than $10. If someone wants to mail a check, no problem. (Although of course we try and get payment by credit card.) We are making (say) $40 so if we don't get the payment no big deal. Not sure I would say the same if the numbers were 100 times larger though.
It sounds like they never comment on anything that has to do with criminal investigations. There is no implication that there is an active investigation.

I did a side-by-side of a simple design when trying to choose one. Bootstrap just has better defaults with things like padding, sizing, and margins. It just looked better.

There's some truth to both sides. Harsh conditions and low (relative) wages are pretty normal, even in America. There are legitimate gripes about those, but the fact is that even in America people end up working lots of overtime with little say in whether or not they want it.

However, the point this article makes about safety is pure and utter crap. The best they can come up with is to bury that matter on page two, then handwave some bogus calculation about how people get injured even in America. Yes, they do. I personally have had to deal with some of those industrial injuries. But they were caused by the worker screwing up, not by unsafe conditions. There's not much you can do if someone reaches into a machine that's in operation when they're not allowed to do that, ever. That's a far cry from having to deal with poisonous chemicals like n-hexane and from having no first aid providers to help you.

And from everything I've read, there are some ridiculously unsafe conditions over there. US employers are required to have MSDS sheets for their chemicals, so something like n-hexane doesn't get used to polish iPhone screens. The workers also have a right to learn about them. You also get proper PPE and training to deal with whatever you have to deal with. Finally, they do not leave you on your own if you get injured. They either hire nurses, or teach employees (like yours truly) first aid. Yes, I know what farm work is like, too. Everyone who grew up in the Midwest probably at least knows about detasseling corn. For the record, yes, it sucks. But I'd take it over a factory with no safety program any day. So, basically, the lot of you could stand to learn more about conditions here before comparing them to China. We have it bad, they have it worse, and it's not some kind of contest.

The whole Apple thing, though? I wouldn't boycott them, but I would push them into trying. They've got no direct control, no, but when the factory manager has to deal with a big customer like Apple, they will do something to appease them. It's probably a bit unfair to single out Apple, though, because I doubt it's that much different elsewhere. If they really want to do something, they should require their suppliers to have a worker safety program.

Startups are a lot of work, and I am sure you're starting to realize that with the hours you put into it every day (it gets worse!)--and while I'm sure you could do it, as you sound like a very bright young individual I think you should just enjoy being a kid and exploring all of your interests and pleasures in life. And eventually if it's the right path for you, you'll just know it. You're young; you've got your whole life to work. And remember, just because you're in Quebec doesn't mean you can't meet interesting people and grow as a person. Enjoy being young--it goes by so fast.
