It's positive-sum. If researchers taking cognitive enhancements are able to accelerate the process of curing Alzheimer's or getting self-driving cars on the road, I'm not going to complain if they earn billions in the process.
Your impression is wrong. My diagnosis took couple of hours and involved bunch of attention and ability tests. It was much more rigorous than I expected.
wow interesting stuff, some pretty baffling stats. The difference between Elementary and other categories is bigger than you'd imagine
It doesn't directly claim that, however calling these "The Five Stages of Hosting" implies that an application will likely progress through these stages as it grows, and that application platforms will be quickly outgrown when any sort of scale is reached. That's a pretty clear implication from the title and I'm calling for counter-evidence, because I don't think it's accurate.

I also host on Heroku applications that I hope will grow, and if that's a bad choice, I'd like to know others opinions.

The big problem is that there is no easy definition of what is happening. There are some words that describe the important undertone i call "boosting", they all have some euphoric impression too, but it declines after a while. These descriptions are somewhat like "ability to concentrate", "self-discipline", "motivation", "clarity". Some people say the difference is a lack of fears, or Mr Hyde is deactivated, who always manipulates you as a second personality who only seeks short term gratification.

Maybe it is easier defined by the complete opposite: There were tests with mice without dopamine production who starved next to food.

Maybe this is the real problem, we still don't know what we are really dealing with and we compare school grades to create some numbers.

Can you please elaborate on your numbers and who they are coming from and what they really mean?

I know some people here are easily offended, by saying there is no big difference between someone who has ADD and someone who hat not. But i am diagnosed myself and can't see a difference. We have a bigger problem here so maybe we are more entitled to take these. In the end, the problems are the same.

The main thing is, fucking everybody around me starts taking Ritalin, for the simple reason being a student. I have friend's who talk only about learning and convert into a Chinese stereotype.
Yes -- I should've prefaced that this is a combination performance test, staging server, hot failover and evaluation of the company.

I haven't even gotten my incero server yet (just ordered it Friday evening); but I am impressed by their offering - such as IPMI/KVM, which is often not offered by fly-by-night hosters (and not offered by EC2 in the form of out of band access).

I also happen to be in a unique situation of not needing 100% uptime for my startup - a few minutes of downtime to switch to a hot failover is a non-issue; so if Incero proves competent to me, I'll still give them serious consideration for production hosting (again, with proper hot-failover backup elsewhere); despite potentially being a one-man-show.

Difficult to say which is the lesser of two evils:

* Being the customer of a small business, having to potentially wait for response

* Being one insignificant customer among millions when there's a datacenter meltdown at AWS, with no phone number to call, and no neck to strangle until you get back up -- at the end of a long list of small customers.

I only casually mentioned Incero here, vs. Voxel in many other replies, as I believe voxel is the more appropriate choice for most startups.

I'm pretty sure the new column store indexing in SQL server is enterprise edition only (not even in the new bi license) which in my experience prices out a lot of small businesses. Might be a niche in there somewhere to be served.

In 1975, if you wanted a personal computer you bought a kit for roughly $1,750 in today's dollars and you assembled it yourself. It didn't have a monitor. You programmed it yourself. And at the end of all that you had blinky lights that could do math.

Five years later you have the Apple][, the Atari ST and the IBM PC. Ten years later you had a Macintosh. Thirty-five years later we were walking around with supercomputers in our pocket.

Extrapolating the adoption of 3D printing based upon today's home kits is definitely short-term thinking. Better to consider what a $500,000 top-of-the-line Objet printer can do and imagine it in you home 15 years from now, in the space your microwave takes up.
You should not make your own technology judgements based solely on what other people are using. There's too many people jumping on the cloud bandwagon who have no clue what they're doing.
For the record, ADD doesn't really exist anymore. It's ADHD with subtypes inattentive, hyperactive, or combined inattentive and hyperactive.

I'm inattentive. About once a year I decide to try to go without medication for a month, but it's too hard. I've done mindfulness exercises, tried to focus on developing new habits, etc... but medication works best. A combination of concerta and wellbutrin works best for me, because I can take lower amounts of the stimulants and wellbutrin has less side effects for me. I was on adderall for a few years, but headaches + sleep stuff made it more annoying as time went by.

I got diagnosed when I was 20 by a family practitioner, when I decided I was having problems with focusing (physics major). after a few years of that I decided he was shit and I needed an official diagnosis and a psychiatrist to sort it all out, someone who knew about the disorder and medications. We tried Strattera, which worked awesome except for the "sexual side effects" which were too weird for me.

Friends can tell when I'm on or off of it. Colleagues can't, although I'm conscious of my decreased work.
>The question is: why are people hiring hundreds of weak programmers in the first place? When a team of 100 mediocrities achieves as much as a (far less costly) team of 20 good programmers in Java or (better yet) 6 good programmers in a decent language, why hire the former at all?

Because 90% of the people are in the bottom 90%. Not every company can hire programmers in the top 10%. That's a mathematical impossibility. Yes, we'd all love to hire only geniuses, but what do you do when you put out a job req and no geniuses apply? Refuse to hire anyone?
I agree with you wholeheartedly about the benefit of this, it's much more than anyone might think beforehand.

I do a very similar thing, although not to a blog. I have a file (notes.txt) in my home directory. Any problem or thought gets cat'ed to the file ( cat >> notes.txt ) and I type my thoughts along with a few keywords. A simple grep finds any of it.

It is extremely useful once you've built up a body of knowledge. Mine is almost 10,000 lines now.

N.B. If using bash or similar, "set -C" to prevent overwrites with a mistyped > instead of >> (which can be overridden with >| if you need to).
I agree, I love EC2 personally, their mini server plan(or whatever its called) is great for keeping a production version of a project running while its still in an initial phase (very low user base) and then you can scale easily without having to learn anything new as you can run basically things the same as you do locally (I run Ubuntu locally and mainly develop for Tomcat so it makes it really easy to keep things the same on there). I looked at Heroku but as soon as I realized it would be rather expensive just to get regular datbase access (so I could run straight SQL if I needed to, etc) it was out.

> Sadly the OpenSSH solution is over the top awkward when it comes to setting up chrooted access, but it works.

With OpenSSH it's pretty easy to setup users in a chroot, with no shell access. The hard part is if you want logging (to audit what they do), then you need to create a log device in their chroot, which adds complication, and you need OpenSSH 5.2+.

sshd_config:

Subsystem sftp internal-sftp -l VERBOSE
Match Group sftponly
ChrootDirectory %h
ForceCommand internal-sftp -f AUTH -l VERBOSE

Make user1 only be able to use SFTP:

groupadd sftponly; usermod -a -G sftponly user1; usermod -s /sbin/nologin user1

If you actually want the "-l VERBOSE" logging to work you need to create ~user1/dev, then modify rsyslog.conf with:

$AddUnixListenSocket /path/to/user1/home/dev/log

Tim implies that Apple knowingly ordered the switch to n-hexane in "their factories" (actually Wintek's) to improve production numbers, with no regard for the safety of the workers. Evil indeed!

Sorry, I'm gonna need to see some proof before I believe that version. Everything I've read points to Wintek management (who have a long history of reported labor abuses) cutting corners left and right to make more profit.
How Amazon Manages Their Complex Internal Technology Team
Non-profit organizations (mostly corporations) are defined as non-profit by having no residual claimants. That means that if there is money left over after the bills have been paid, that money (roughly "profits") does not accrue to any stockholders or other interested parties but can only be used for ongoing operations.

Responsibility is usually held by a board of directors or trustees that appoints its own successors but that is not universal.

Often the managers of a non-profit will balloon their salaries or give bonuses to the board of directors if there is money left over. This is a form of corruption but remains common.

A 501(c)3 corporation in the USA is a type of non-profit that receives special privileges, the most obvious of which is that contributions can be written off the taxes of the donor. To be a 501(c)3, a non-profit corporation has to be former for one of a specific set of public charitable purposes and meet special reporting requirements. The principal purposes that qualify are churches and schools but also include aid to the poor and others.

IRS publication 557 details the rules for 501(c)3 and other tax-exempt non-profit organizations.
I remember reading the first 4 books in college and wondering if it was even possible for a film adaptation to do them justice. As it turns out, it is possible since the first season of GoT was splendid. Many of the actors fit their character roles perfectly; they were just as I imagined while reading the novels.

Only around 2 more months until the start of the next season!

thanks for the tips. I have the problem where I start out pretty confident but as I get into the speech sometimes I start getting nervous that I'm losing everybody's interest and so I think my presentation sometimes gets worse as it goes on.
I agree a "hello world" program is a good place to start learning but a terrible place to start comparing. To be fair, though, to really show the benefits of Lisp style programming you'd have to write something quite a bit longer. Long enough, in fact, you'd have trouble enticing people to read it.

It's important to remember that copyright in and of itself is an antifreemarket creation. More specifically, it is a government granted monopoly (about as antifreemarket as you can get). I agree that the idea of compulsory licensing rubs me the wrong way, but pretending that we're actually operating in a freemarket is dangerous too.

axiak is right, I've done this myself too. The server can read the file size during transfer and send this back to the client over XHR. It's quite messy to set up and most backend frameworks require obscure hacking (reflection in asp.net for example) to get it to work, but it certainly is possible.
I'm curious as to how old you are. This is not a slam or being patronizing; I'm looking to add a data point.

I'm in my 50s and I haven't subscribed to a newspaper in 10 years. Most of the young people I know, in their 20s do not read physical newspapers and many of them don't watch broadcast television. Newspapers are fast dying out, and TV stations are starting to sweat. (I've worked in and out of broadcast TV for the last 15 years or so.) Demographics are defiantly skewing to older people, and even those are dropping.

They don't print photos at home or at photoshops. They look at them on their computers or phones. These days the only time I ever print a photo is for my 96 year old father; he has vision problems looking at screens. Until recently he was perfectly happy to look at photos on his desktop PC. In fact a major project I did for him was to scan in boxes and boxes of old photos. (Many of which I've recently had to print out again into books.)

Now I do know lots of people, guys mostly, who have wood shops or car repair tools. I'm not really talking about technical people. Mostly guys in their 20s - 50s. And when I go to the hobby stores these days I see all sorts of interesting "making" stuff aimed at women. One company makes a CNC paper cutting machine that is very popular with scrap bookers. They have recently expanded into a machine that creates elaborate cake decorating layer. And some of the polymer clay craft systems are very suggestive.

People have always been makers, that's part of what defines people. One of the advantages to making is that you can make whatever you want. If you can make it.
What concerns you about S3?
It's worth noting though that three year olds aren't taking these drugs, so the actual rate is more like 9% of kids have ADHD, and a good percentage of those (60%?) are currently taking drugs for it.
Testing Websites with Responsive Design
There's a stackoverflow post on this subject from a year ago: http://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/12937/how-to-dele...

From the comments there, it sounds like the real API might limit you to deleting messages created by your own app. Somebody also posted a Javascript solution where you double-click the 'delete' button to delete all older posts, but I'm not sure if it will work since the version information says "obsolete" in it.
XHR is awful for large file uploads. It doesn't support sending the file object (which presumably would be processed according to RFC1867) on Firefox, but it does support that on Chrome.

As a result, for cross-browser compatibility you have to upload via raw POST data and send your own file metadata headers. Not entirely a bad thing, but it's annoying because most HTTP servers don't support this. And because you cannot send the file object, you have to load the file into browser memory. No streaming options.

Thus, you have to make multiple request uploads that upload a chunk at a time to the server per request (spliced uploading), which is annoying and unnecessary.

To make matters worse, Chrome doesn't support XMLHttpRequest.sendAsBinary (WHY? you can easily implement this in javascript anyway), and a bunch of other random inconsistencies.

And no, PUT doesn't help.

Right, because Android devices are manufactured in USA standards factories where people make $10/hour. What a load of horseshit, especially since Google OWNS Motorola now (something people seem to constantly forget, including Google employees). He has no excuse, this is just a completely ridiculous and unfair comparison.

I might as well just say that Google is evil because they pay very little tax, and Apple is awesome because they give Americans good development jobs. Both facts are true about both company, but why let a little thing like reality stop you from ignoring that to serve your point?

The consumer electronics manufacturing and assembly business is ugly. No one company is better or worse unless they actually demonstrate that. Apple at the very least offers their reports. Where are the reports from all the assemblers that also use Foxconn, including ones involved in some high profile suicide related cases like Microsoft?

Oh right, Apple is the big boys so let's throw rocks at them. I get why the guy in the TAL segment focused on Apple. We can all agree they are an attention grabber and delving into "Well, Microsoft does it too" is totally missing the point in that instance.

However, if Googlers are going to start casting stones like they are sinless because they just deal in data and collecting data is A-OK, I'm afraid I'm going to have to point out what a load of crap that is.
In my experience that's pretty much the exact opposite of how enterprise IT works. That's why we tend to end up with so much miserable hardware/software. It's usually a calculation of cost/technical adequacy/ease-of-support. User preference or usability in general is not a big concern. Many companies have only recently begun to replace BlackBerries on a large scale. If you were correct we would have seen huge adoption of the iPhone 3G in the enterprise 4 years ago or maybe the iPhone 3GS 3 years ago. It's a trend that has really picked up only in the last 2 years or so on a large scale.

We have an IT company that is outsourced to handle all this stuff for us and they only deploy iPhones. They recommend replacing BB/Android devices via forklift upgrade. They actively do not support Android. If you're using anything other than BB/iPhone you're on your own. This is just one company out of probably thousands that provide similar services so maybe it's not a common policy. It was pretty sobering to me though. It reminds me of the Mac in the enterprise in years past. If you somehow managed to sneak one in the backdoor you wouldn't actually be allowed to use it. If this is becoming a common policy for Android devices then Google has a huge uphill battle. These types of companies aren't going to be re-evaluating their policies very often.

Yes, Scala is a JVM language, and all JVM languages that I am aware of have this start-up delay. One of the advantages of the JVM is that many different languages can interoperate easily, but if you do source-to-source translation to a non-JVM language, then the origin languages (e.g., Java) that have this extra support become preferred, and thus discourage the adoption of the better languages. E.g., GWT prevents us from completely migrating to Scala.

It seems as if it would be better to have have a JVM byte code to Python byte code translator, or something like that, if such a thing is possible. But I should think that it would be even better and easier to just have a version of the JVM (or an option on the JVM) that starts up much faster.

If you're happy with just Java, doesn't BeanShell start up more quickly? (I don't know, because I've never used it.)
Making technology decisions based on what others are doing is the fastest way to make minor decisions. There's immense value in asking "what does company x do?" choosing that option, and moving on. In my experience time deliberating is time wasted--it's better to make a decision and move on. You can (and should) change later.
Actually, i work quite the opposite.

My tinker-genes get hyper after an hour of heavy lifting(starting strength 3x/week). I do hardly any cardio most days.

Heavy lifting has a small 30 min downtime after the session. (where you can shower in warm water to freshen up)

But, after that i'm raring to go and won't feel tired until about 4-5 hrs later.

This is my best productivity hack of 2011 - well worth the time spent.
Not really just taking the argument to its logical moronic extreme. Google could simply change a few lines of text in a license agreement and (somehow) make life better for people in China. It's no different than the people who say Apple should (effectively) abandon the Chinese labour market and somehow the Chinese people would be better off.
