Actually I started to build something that is a job search "augmentation" tool, it uses the Indeed.com API and uses a roll-out sidebar to list job openings and then you can go through them and then mark them blocked, applied to, saved, etc to filter through them so you never have to look at the full list again, I built the original solution using the Java stack and used it a bit for my own purposes, now that I'm getting more into Ruby I think I might rebuild it using Rails and see if I can make it into a more fully featured application, I think there is potential to add in more features similar to what you have mentioned (like being able to associate contact names with a job ad, etc).

On a side note, something I have realized is how fundamentally broken and annoying a lot of companies' job application process is. The sites that make you create an account on some barely working site that looks like it was built in 1995, then force you to basically manually fill out pieces of your resume into various input fields, are rather appalling. It is a good way to filter out the companies that probably wold suck to work for though as you can tell right away how much they care about interfacing with their employees.
The GC doesn't have to scan the entire address space. It starts scanning with GC roots, memory regions known to contain pointers such as stack, heap, and global variables (registered with the GC).
Ok, I still don't understand. I really got into web development around ten years ago, and have been a Firefox since back when Firefox was simply called Mozilla. So I have no experience, developer side or userland, with ActiveX. What were the consequences of ActiveX and how could open source have prevented it?
We (nodejitsu) sponsored NodeSummit, but have no control over nodesummit.com. I have reached out to Charles Beeler (the conference organizer) to make him aware of the issue.
Don't even mention rock climbing in your insurance application. At my last company we got key man insurance on one of the founders. He had done rock climbing in the past and might do it in the future, but it had been 3-4 years. Nonetheless he included it on the list of activities the questionnaire asks about. Next thing you know a simple process was drawn out over months and his premium was higher even than a smoker.
Chasing a nasty bug is fun!

I'm mostly a software design person. Despite that, nothing is more pleasing and fun than to trace problems in a system with which I am unfamiliar. And I'm either extremely lucky or extremely good at it. When asked to help with a sticky problem I can usually steer co-workers to a solution fairly quickly. In a surprising number of instances the "problem" vanishes, never to return (unlike a Heisenbug).

My peers have somewhat ungratefully termed this the "Asshole Effect"!
You should also take a look at the site using IE8 (one of the largest browser segments for general traffic). The articles area is grey-ed out (you can hardly see it).
I'm actually talking about iOS, especially the Apple App Store. Apple is threating to assert touch patents to prevent other vendors from implementing rich touch interfaces in the browser.

Eight years ago one might have called Java one of the most successful open source projects ever. Webkit could easily end up in a similar position. Given Apple's heavy litigation of their opponents, it seems almost inevitable.

So, the game has barely even begun yet. I suggest we revisit in 10 years and see how successful Webkit has been, for Apple, and our broader software community. (Because simply saying it is a success definitely suggests different things to different groups.)

So rootcause is not A, but A && (B || C) && D.

Well, knowingly lying on an insurance application is a crime even if that lie doesn't cost the insurance company anything.
I love this show. I thought the "puppy cakes" product was a little ridiculous.
I really made this to scratch an itch, as I have a Twitter account with 9k+ followers and I wanted to see who the most popular followers were. You can't really do that with Twitter, so I learned a bit about their API and built this service myself.
That was amazing. Thanks!
If possible, see Ries or Blank in person. They're both great presenters and I suspect you can get 75% of what you need just from listening to that and taking good notes.

The book probably has some good worksheets in it, though, so maybe worth it for that.
Totalyl agree. The lack of a module system in JavaScript has been an enormous benefit to the developer community, because it has allowed us to develop idioms that make sense in the context of JavaScript.

Adopting a hard-coded, python-esque module system is a step backwards from what we have now, and I doubt will be used much, if at all -- why give up features that already exist (and will continue to work)?

sigh
There are plenty of W3C standards that WebKit is not willing to support. That's fine. Some of the standards just suck.

There are also plenty that it purposefully implements incorrectly (CSS Selectors, for example). That's a lot less fine.
Well, ActiveX was a proprietary technology developed by Microsoft that only run on Windows, and especially only run on IE. So sites using it were only working with IE.

Webkit and Mozilla being open source means that no single company can control the projects or add a proprietary single-platform exception to them.

Now, a company could FORK Webkit/geecko and add something like ActiveX to it, but the fork wouldn't be part of webkit/geecko project anymore, and we'd still have webkit/geecko proper. For example, Google added NaCL which is something like ActiveX to Chrome, but not to Webkit itself.
True. They've decided to go with the least invasive form of DRM that is typically excepted.

The risk probably depends on your age. I've flown from LAX to Hong Kong and back in business class before, and the flights leave after midnight local time. I found it no trouble to sleep for 12 hours without taking any drugs. No blood clots, no dehydration :)
ATCs along the way don't necessarily need to get the full picture. Each one is responsible for a zone. They have planes about to enter their zone, they route them/land them and then the plane moves out. Not saying they can't easily get the flight plan and figure it out, but they probably wouldn't normally do it.

Actual success rates aren't that important - I think the point can be examined more clearly simply by considering things in their true light: there is a big difference between having money you've got and having money someone has lent you. They may both be money, but one is a credit and one is a debt.

Practically, this is the difference between buying a house with cash or buying it with a mortgage. And that's part of DHH's point - the homeowner who buys their house with a mortgage they can pay only if everything goes right is hardly and barely the owner of their house or destiny.

I'd also add that the successful moon-shot companies don't justify the business model in-and-of-themselves either. An overnight success, beholden to investors with short time frames, that gets pushed to an IPO and into the arms of shareholders with an even shorter timeframe . . . not an attractive recipe in my opinion. Companies built slowly, organically, and personally are capable of more longer-term thinking and risk-taking then entities that more resemble a joint-venture between investors and contract workers glued together mostly by their dream of mutual exits. If everyone is thinking of how they are going to leave, the bonds are by definition very weak.

This is not an indictment of VCs per se - moreso of the short-term pressures that dominate when money is at stake and opportunity costs are forever pressing on the gas pedal.
Mine are mostly in the GOOD category but it's really for me, not the client. Like your clients, my clients trust me. But the benefit of listing the details is I can later go and analyze how much time I spent/wasted on which feature 6 months ago and give them a better idea on whether it will be better to keep trying to fix it or rewrite from scratch.

Having detailed info. also helps with knowing who requested/commissioned which task and when, without having to dig into emails, PM software etc.
The standards body has asked WebKit to do that, in fact.

Apple flat-our refused to ever remove -webkit prefixes that they have once shipped.

Note that no one is complaining about the mere existence of the prefixes; the problem is:

1) The way they're being used by web developers.
2) The fact that some of these properties are not standards-track, with Apple actively refusing to allow them to be standardized.

That's the American-style comic industry; the Japanese one is doing well.

Message from Gabe to Steam Community (Update on 2011 intrusion)
> If Google introduces something like Dart or NaCl, is willing to support standardization of it and even release a free implementation, but other browser vendors don't want to integrate it because they don't like it, that's their problem, not Google's. If that means popular apps become "Works best in Chrome," that is a self-inflicted wound.

I completely disagree.

First, if a technology is really bad for the web, are you saying other browsers should still implement it, just to not suffer the situation where popular apps work best in Chrome? That's bad enough as it is, but those popular apps are likely going to be Google properties - google.com, gmail. That means Google can basically force other browsers to adopt technologies as it sees fit, even if they are bad for the web.

Second, the WebKit situation on mobile exactly shows why this is wrong. If one popular browser adds special features and leaves them there indefinitely, in release versions of the browser - as WebKit does with its special CSS properties, and like Chrome does with NaCl and perhaps soon Dart - then people will develop for those features. If that browser then becomes dominant, those features will become a de-facto standard. Given Chrome's incredibly rapid rise, we should not assume it will not become dominant on the desktop, so this should concern us all.

I don't know what you mean by "planes." All airfoil based aircraft have a limitation on how high they can fly before the air gets too thin for their wings to generate sufficient lift (known as their "operating ceiling").

The only exception to this I know of would be a craft with enough thrust to use power as the source of lift (like the space shuttle).
I've been using org-mode for the last few months to do my time tracking and it has worked out pretty well. You can use "clock tables" to get a report of all of the logged time within a certain window (e.g. february)

I was wondering recently if it is possible to create an annotated version of a pdf presentation.

But in the presentation itself, you only see the slides, not the annotations.

I recently downloaded iTerm2 because I had been hearing this. I can't for the life of me see why anyone thinks it is better than Terminal.

It might just be my usage pattern, which is basically tmux. I was even briefly excited about the so called tmux integration of iTerm2, but it actually made a great tool worthless.
Now I'm interested. Why is it better? I use terminal only to navigate and run commands, no Vim or Emacs. How will iTerm make my life better?

Similar here - I've got a 'day rate' for on site visits - they're whole day (usually multi day) affairs. I have hourly as well, for smaller chunks of time, and I'm generally doing those from home. ATM I've still got a number of smaller projects that will never take up a whole day of work at any one time, so hourly fits those, but I'll probably move toward daily rates for more work in the future. It generally keeps me more focused and more productive on that one client's projects than trying to juggle 3-4 things in one day for 1-3 hours at a stretch.
I disagree that one cannot distinguish between the likely ethics of a bootstrap or VC-funded startup. Logically, when a business has its own customers as the only means of support, there is a greater symbiotic relationship - sustained by age-old notions of fair exchange. I work hard to give my customer what they need so that they continue to sustain my business. A big side effect is ethical behavior.

The entities most capable of unfair or exploitative behavior are those who no longer need value that relationship to their customer. Yes, in one case this applies to companies close to failure - no matter their funding source. But as noted elsewhere, the acceptance of investor money adds many layers and new definitions to what 'failure' is.

Failure is no longer just 'going out of business' - it morphs to mean things like not having hit a number, not having made money fast enough, being pushed out of a job because people have lost faith in you, etc. The options for failure proliferate in an investor-funded corporation.

It's that same irony when a Fortune 500 firm makes a nice profit but the stock tanks because they didn't make as much as someone thought they should. Profit = success in the natural world; but somehow it gets turned around to equal failure - oftentimes costing real people their real jobs and costing companies real value of their shares that they could use to conduct real business.

So, as investor-funded companies are allowed only a small number of ways to define success, they are always closer to failure, and are forever more aware of the benefits of unethical behavior - especially when that behavior is so well-shielded by the corporate veil.
Not anymore! I'm adding it to my brute-force dictionary.
First, you determine the rule. Then you determine whether it ought to be enforced.

While you might be right that the authorities won't take on the criminal case, you and your friend are wrong about the question of whether this is a criminal offense under the law. It's at least a colorable case of intentional infringement in a commercial setting.
Have the Audacity to Build
So I started a blog ... about learning how to code
Developers are ambitious. We want to build better apps now not in 6 years time when the W3C have finally moved on this or that issue. Right now webkit is enabling developers so it wins. Supporting every browser is either economically not viable or not possible without sacrificing features. If mobile firefox wants to compete it needs to step up. If developers are voting with their feet and actually using webkit features in the wild then they are defacto standards. Firefox better pull its finger out or it will die.

I don't believe it's that easy, which is why it's not solved yet
I'm sort of the same way and I think I've narrowed down the cause to be either choice fatigue and/or perfectionism. With a bug, the problem is "it's broke", the solution is "fix it". I don't have to think about languages, frameworks, APIs, code style/structure/efficiency/maintainability, etc. It's already in place and it's just not doing exactly what is expected, usually in some relatively minor way. With a new feature, or worse, project, the options are endless. From "Should I use a stack I'm comfortable with or use this opportunity to learn a new technology?" to "Should I completely rethink how a user enters information into a computer or just use a text box?".

> Tcl's pretty cool, and I think it could have kept going interesting places if things hadn't fallen apart in some critical ways.

Hey David, nice to see you again :)

With respect (as always) I don't get what you're talking about. You've written over the years that Tcl suffered from a marketing problem. No question. The rest of your anti(?) Tcl writings seem to make allusions to problems, but never really express what the problem _is_. I'd love to spend some with discussing this with you (email perhaps, or in quiet irc space?).

When I describe Tcl, I start similarly to you (Tcl's pretty cool...) and build on that, rather than detracting from it. Tcl is _fun_ like nothing else I've played with, has a brilliant C API, is incredibly dynamic, etc., etc.

Even despite the apparent lack of popularity, it's _still_ everywhere. Expect for system administation and job scheduling, etc,. Tcl in Cisco iOS, Tcl in F5 Network appliances, A10 appliances, driving Git gitk, embedded in Python to drive Tkinter, and a scripting/GUI interface for R, CSound, Vtk, ns-2 network simulator...

Tcl needs positive stories and it's successes pointed out, not "It could have been cool, but it's not". Regardless of where it sits in a popularity contest, Tcl is awesome, time-tested, rock solid... and _still_ improving.

Best,

When you automate things you eliminate jobs. That is the key factor. Are you eliminating someone's work? Can they still be retrained? Greed is making money by directly disrupting someone's livelihood.

If technology creates new sectors of the economy by providing insight it is beneficial.

Happiness is a construct and subjective. One might say happiness is going to a newly gentrified section of town and buying shoes made in Italy, another person my say that's crazy and prefer to keep rents low in town so local cobblers can afford to make basic shoes.

The best definition is to ask people what they want, but usually people try to tell people what they should want.

Nah, without evidence I propose that it's simply that smoking is so common, allowances are made.

Im not agreeing or disagreeing either - thenerd side of me feels then same way - "smart people should be able to se this is our best option" - the zen side of me says there is ia much bigger picture at stake, one i am not currently involved in , and its also not a decision i am personally faced with right now, so im sort of wasting my time even writing this post, right?

Zen version: is any discussion here going to have an impact on large scale nuclear policy at this point in time, one way or the other? If not, it is a pontless avenue of discussion, we can all go focus on something more important to us individually, whatever that is. right?
