Daily Meditation Presented via a SaaS Subscription App
If you're an active open-source developer and you've put in time creating and maintaining open-source tools, then you've proven yourself.

I don't think saying you want to side-step the usual white-board shennanigans is elitism. It's saying "I've reached the point in my career where I do not want to have to work from the bottom on up every time I get hired".

Would you ask a prospective CEO to dismantle and reassemble the interview chair to test their ability to run a software company? Probably not. You'd only have them in the room if they had a proven track-record that pre-qualified them for the position.

The interview of an established, qualified candidate should be about finding out if the candidate is a good fit, not if they're technically competent or able to fit people, dogs and goats into rowboats in the dead of night with only one flashlight on hand.
Don't forget, with digital radio, we now have JJJ Unearthed as a radio station. For the unenlightened, that's the best of Australia's unsigned bands getting played on the radio.
The DOJ reports to the WH, so yes, law enforcement actions can certainly be initiated by the WH.

The three branches of gov't are the executive, legislative, and the judicial branch. Law enforcement is under the executive, so it's entirely within the right (and obligation even) of the presidency.

Maybe you're thinking of something like influencing judges, which certainly is a no-no.
So, let me tell you about my great idea. It's an app for creating social/dating networks for book nerds who can find other book nerds around them, exchange old books, and participate in local group buying deals based around shared interests.

Announcing Astyanax: A Java Cassandra client
I think there are two main reasons for this:

(1) US laws make it rather hard for payment companies to operate outside the US (mainly due to money laundering laws). If you want to operate in Europe it seems much easier if the whole company is located there.

(2) There's just not as much demand for this. The US banking system feels archaic and you typically can't even electronically transfer funds between bank accounts (if not both of the accounts belong to yourself). In Europe - on the other hand - you typically can do free wire transfers and just need the recipient's IBAN and BIC numbers for this.
Yes, I certainly agree. One of the major problems with taking an application implemented on a PaaS solution to production scale is that you essentially join at the hip the continued success of your core product to the eventual fate of an outside vendor's platform. What's worse is that by the time you realise you've grown too big for the PaaS you may have to expend a huge amount of engineering effort and customer good will to move off, if you even can. Indeed, PaaS providers will try to make it /easy/ for you to make engineering decisions which lock you into their platforms -- and they will present those choices as helpful at the time, which makes them quite insidious partners.

If I had to take a guess, it would be that it probably has something to do with the wild constellation of libraries any given Linux machine could be using, not to mention version of those libraries. Do you build your game to support ALSA, or OSS, or Pulse Audio, or all three? (I'm not a Linux dev so these examples might not be technically right but it's in the spirit of my point.) Do you use the dependencies present on the system or include your own? Does the user have good drivers for their hardware? Do you target OSS or proprietary drivers, or both? Often proprietary drivers have showstopper bugs on Linux that take forever to get fixed, if they ever do.

When your Linux customer complains to you that your game doesn't work on their version of the ATI proprietary driver, what do you tell them? "Sorry, wait till ATI gets off their ass and fixes their driver, otherwise, you can try entering this arcane set of CLI commands to see if it helps, cross your fingers you don't bork your existing driver in the process, and if not here's a refund?"

It's probably just not worth the support headache. After fighting with Linux driver and dependency hell more than once I don't blame them.

Edit: even some of the past bundles have had Linux problems. I think only half of the games in the last bundle would even install on my stock Ubuntu laptop. More than one of the games--the two Shadowgrounds, I think--in an earlier bundle needed some arcane hacks to get sound working. It ain't easy supporting Linux.

iD/ZeniMax owes you nothing, but they still gave you the source code and went to considerable effort to do that. Complaining about what you feel entitled to receive for free makes you look bad. Someone else mentioned that all the assets are available for $70 or less. Go and do what libraries do when they want to curate materials so that others can learn from them and enjoy the culture: buy the damn thing.
So what? The industry has changed. It's no longer possible to make outrageous profits by selling copies with tremendous markups. So people increase the price for live events. Other people pay them. The world changes. Life goes on.

I mean, what do you want? Time to stop? Progress to end? Change to be abolished? This isn't actually a joke. Lots of people with a vested interest in the current extent of intellectual property rights are going to absolutly insane lengths to ensure that a changing society isn't allowed to roll back the extent of IP rights to make them more harmonious with the needs and reality of the present day.

But those people can all go to hell. They're the same backwards looking people who said "but what about property rights" when it came to freeing slaves. "Property rights" were also applied to wives and daughters, and you can just imagine how much consternation was caused when (horrors!) wives and daughters were given the vote.

Property rights are ultimately about controlling others. They're good and necessary in limited circumstances, like keeping unwelcome individuals away from our bedrooms and out of our bank accounts. They're absolutely horrifying when extended to the theoretical maximum. Indeed, the very definition of a totalarian state is one in which all people are the property of the State. At some point, between this and anarchy, there's an optimum. As life changes, this optimum point will move. Some will fight these moves and make life miserable for others rather than suffer change themselves, but if the change is big and clear and beneficial enough, most will peacefully adapt.

I recognize that rapidly evolving ideas about what should and should not be considered property aren't easy for those whose careers are caught in the flux. Believe me, I'm one of them. At the same time, I see Change as being - on balance - a very healthy thing, even if it makes my own life harder than it might has been in a more static environment. Others aren't so sanguine. They really hate Change. But there's some good news for them too; one day, they'll die, and Change will no longer be a problem for them.

The conclusion ended up the same, but in the future you should consider normalizing against the size of the population you're drawing from.

In this case, rather than "business undergrad CEOs vs. eng undergrad CEOs" you should have "business undergrad CEOs per 1000 business undergrads vs. eng undergrad CEOs per 1000 eng undergrads".

Or the more wonky form of P(CEO | biz undergrad) vs. P(CEO | eng undergrad) ("probability of being a CEO given a business/eng undergrad degree...").
How Should Your Business React To The Continual Social Media Controversies?

I don't simply suggest "enterprise licensing" where a stipulation of a huge 5000-seat adoption is giving IT a copy of the source or whatever. I suggest a template like the GPL that can and will be used by many developers to include a copy of the source with every copy of the binary with the stipulation that the persons who do not own a valid license cannot legally use the software (in either source or binary form). This would allow the developer to continue to make money on software licensing fees, which possibility the GPL entirely upends in practice, and it would allow the end user to read and modify the code their system executes and share their changes with other end users.

Enterprise deals that include source usually do not allow the recipient to publish modifications to the code and come with a variety of other very serious restrictions. I am talking about something quite different.
This is awesome! Major improvements since 1.4.

Even though the main use case for Bootstrap seems to be for rapid prototyping, any thoughts on using it for a production app (but perhaps custom-themed), instead of rolling a custom design altogether? It seems Bootstrap has matured to the level that it can be used as for most projects with little customizations if any. A lot of what I read in the comments imply that Bootstrap is great at prototyping an app and once that phase is over, you throw it all out and start developing a custom design based on what has been prototyped. Why can't one just stick with Bootstrap and customize it as needed?

Aren't boyfriends/girlfriends/spouses/partners the obvious confounders here? They don't seem to address that point, yet they observe that the "best friend" is usually of the opposite sex. That may be true, but the study seems to be making an argument about "friends," not sexual/romantic partners.

In other words: this paper seems to fail the whiff test.
A world where knowledge is locked behind several $200/year paywalls is better than a world where knowledge is locked behind a greater number of $X,000/year paywalls.

16 Of The Smartest Children In History
I had similar concerns when I first started noticing bootstrap used on random websites I encountered. However, I think bootstrap will probably help increase the lower bound quality of sites while designers pushing the envelope will continue to do so, without or without bootstrap as a starting point.
The problem is that everyone who's ever used the web ever comes up with these ideas and either thinks it hasn't been done or think they can do it better. The latter almost always end up just cloning something that exists in a way that's shitty. No, it's not sub-par, they're not terribly execute, they're fucking shitty. I'm just finishing up a site that the guy who commissioned it calls "Facebook except for dating". I'm embarrassed to even admit I built it now (I really needed the cash and in hindsight I was paid peanuts). Luckily I was able to steer him towards positioning it as more of a sideshow site for entertainment like Lolcats or something.

But anyway, the problem isn't the ideas it's just that it's incredibly rare that someone executes in a way that brings something worthwhile to the table that hasn't been done at least 100 times over.

It's pretty much as easy as wrapping the content in .container, .row, and .spanN tags. The responsive part should take care of itself by collapsing horizontal elements into vertical arrangements, and adjusting widths to keep them within the viewport.

There are some edge cases for various components (such as the Bootstrap navbar) that require some special markup and Javascript to collapse intelligently.

OpenJDK has become the official JDK/JRE at this point (see http://blogs.oracle.com/henrik/entry/moving_to_openjdk_as_th... for an official statement to that effect from an Oracle developer). The proprietary JDK/JRE represents legacy software.

As for the rest: you keep re-explaining what you want, but thankfully that won't make it happen. You can try to build a community around such restricted code, but FOSS has progressed more than far enough that restrictions of the form you suggest simply can't gain enough traction to take hold; you'd have to build a community from scratch, in the face of an openly hostile immune reaction from the FOSS community. More importantly, by adding such restrictions you remove several of the mechanisms the FOSS community has to protect itself from various critical failure modes, which makes such a scheme inherently doomed to fail in the first place. In a way, the reaction you'd get from the FOSS community comes from that community knowing that such a scheme can't work, and wanting it to fail quickly before it causes more of a distraction.

Among many other reasons, FOSS can't succeed when tied to a single privileged upstream vendor. Development of good ideas requires a community that can make changes the upstream vendor never thought of and doesn't immediately approve of, and any scheme that requires a license from the upstream vendor can't support a community like that. Such a scheme would also create a fragile community that the vendor could destroy at any time. Ironically, the possibility of forking a project and running with it in a different direction helps avoid fragmentation and prevent a variety of standard failure modes for a development community.

The FOSS community has numerous examples of successful forks, where the project just moved entirely to the fork and ignored the now-irrelevant original, and would otherwise have just died or stagnated indefinitely. A very short list of examples: Jenkins (forked from Hudson by the people actually working on it), LibreOffice (forked from OpenOffice.org by the people actually working on it), Xorg (forked from XFree86 by the people actually working on it), cdrkit (forked from the last FOSS version of cdrecord before the maintainer became even more visibly insane than previously demonstrated), EGCS (forked from GCC at a time when GCC had utterly stagnated due to excessive centralized control, and became the new GCC because all the development moved there; we could use a repeat of that right about now).

Take a look at https://lwn.net/Articles/282261/ , https://lwn.net/Articles/246381/ , and the various things Linus has written about "commit access" as a broken model. You can't have independent development when everone needs a license from one vendor, and you can't have FOSS without independent development. You certainly couldn't have a world where numerous companies, even competitors, can all cooperate in the same community and produce something useful.
Yes and no. Some engineers make ~200K to 300K, just for hacking code or selling it. Yes its true :-)

Some MBAs make ~140K out of school. EG McKinsey is known to make you work your tail off for very little $ comparatively speaking. But thats a golden stamp: 4 years out of McKinsey and you could be a SVP at some dumbass BigCo in Silicon Valley making ~500K. Why the hell would you want to give it up and join/form a startup?
But you also don't automatically get AWS's level of reliability by skipping Heroku and maintaining your own deployments on AWS. Once you go that route your uptime becomes AWS minus your competence level.

As a user it's often the difference between me buying and not buying (having to go through finding my card, entering the information) when buying online. If I can click "buy" and it's done then I spend much more money. I've spent what must be over $5,000 via itunes (the majority of it being music and film/tv though, not apps) and I would never have spent that much if I had to enter my information every time.

I don't think it makes a difference on desirable purchases -- things I actively decide "I want this!" and then seek out -- but on impulse buys it's the difference between a sale and no sale.

Using your time effectively is very important, and there is often a
non-linear relationship between the amount of time you can stay
focused and the amount that you can learn or accomplish. It is often
possible to get more done in a highly focused 12 hour stretch than in
a normal 40 hour work week that is interspersed with email, chat, and
other distractions. Someone that can be completely obsessive about
something does have an advantage, but the same questions about focus
apply for any amount of time you choose to devote to an
undertaking. Most people work at only a fraction of their potential.

Anti-Theft Software for Mobiles
They don't seem to do a great job interpreting their data. Looking at the chart, people have their "best friend" (aka, most called person) of the opposite sex until around age 50, when it becomes pretty even.

A better interpretation of this is just that until that age you generally call your partner the most, which is usually the opposite sex. But when you are older, you probably call your children the most, whose genders are uncorrelated with yours.
