I would have to say that as a tech person in general, the blog post would have me avoiding looking for jobs there full stop. Sometimes you find good people who aren't perfect for you but you know will work out. I worked with an engineer who was an exceptional perl/systems developer. I bumped into a former colleague who asked how the other guy was doing and said that he would love to hire him despite the fact he had no experience with his new job's technology as he knew that he would be an asset. This is why saying "You need to have worked on product" or "You need experience in industry X" is very short sighted. In some roles, it's required, in other roles it's an added bonus. Founders, recruiters and hiring managers need to understand the difference.
Receiving Payment As Being A Independent Web Development Company
While website designers brisbane, or small business owner, it’s vitally important to get paid out immediately because most likely anyone don’t have a Scrooge McDuck income rubbish bin to be of assistance. Money can be a tough issue, as well as one reason or another getting paid punctually is something that will always happen, it doesn't matter which team you help.
I like the idea, but have some remarks/questions:

1. I don't understand some of the rules at all, possibly because I haven't read "Style: Toward Clarity and Grace". In particular, the that/which rules seem to detect any that or which after two words. Why?

2. With just the rules that you've implemented and from your example output, it's already very clear that this approach is too crude to be practical. It simply gives too many false positives. For example, of the 5 "smells" found by the a/an rule, 4 are false positives.

To fix this rule, and many others, in a satisfying manner, you'll need to go beyond "knowledge-free" regular expression parsing and add linguistic knowledge to the system (word lists, part of speech tagging, pronunciation, syntactical parsing etc.).

For one example where you'd really need not just annotated word lists but a proper grammar, look at the false positive for the "No serial comma" rule: "In traditional markets, buyers and sellers are responsible for making".

3. I really like the fact that the rules are easily extensible. It might be challenging to maintain that while allowing for the kind of linguistically rich rules proposed above.

4. Even in its current form, the system could do with some indication of weight and/or certainty. Obviously, not all rules are equally important, nor equally reliable. After adding linguistic knowledge, this would become all the more important, since linguistic ambiguity makes many rules probabilistic by definition.

Remixing Reality: Interesting webGL Demo
I'd guess the only 'odd' typing thing I do is that I only use the left side modifier keys. So for modifying a letter that is also typed with the left hand I am used to just simply 'shifting over' my fingers to account for the modifier. Anyone else do this or am I just weird?

I still don't understand the motivation for this project. If you ought to run a windows application, you use windows anyway. If you like to move to an opensource platform, you have to invest in migrating your applications anyway.

I don't get where ReactOS fits in this picture.

also how people can spend their precious time in re-implementing an existing architecture? There's lots of interesting and creative projects to actually build something new.
During primary school I was given some introductory lessons to touch typing, although I didn't learn all the keys, I naturally learnt the positions of all the keys. It was only after I started learning that I realised what the bumps on F and J are for.

Since you should already know the positions of the keys, put your fingers on the home keys and try typing.
I learnt touch typing the right way ... however, I took at least 3-4 years to get here in steps (I first covered the letters area, after I got it right, I got the numbers right and then the braces etc... I am a hardened vi editor user so I had to get the curly brackets too within my "fingertips").

Good luck with your efforts.

I've noticed a pervasive attitude throughout the SF social app community that your app is at a disadvantage if it doesn't use all of the (potentially dirty) tricks that other apps use -- especially in a crowded space. If your app is the only one that doesn't do automatic friend discovery, or post to the Facebook news feed, your growth coefficient is going to suffer. Of course if you're the first to be found out doing these tricks, the backlash can hurt more than it helps. It's a gamble, and although the HN community is (rightly) in uproar, Joe average user likely won't care that his address book was uploaded unless he's explicitly told to be upset about it, or unless someone compromises Path's servers and he's personally hurt by it.
The right way is relative. I was never taught to touchtype, but I end up spending hours every day typing, so it just developed naturally.

Looking at the natural resting place of my fingers, I do use the F and J keys for resting my index fingers, but I'm pretty sure that there are faster ways of touchtyping than the methods I use.
Even if it did it would presumably make them the companies lawyer - not "yours".

They may have an issue if this completely changes the scale, demographics, and therefore the economics of their affiliate program. It's one thing to have and affiliate program for bloggers that may bring dozens or hundreds of interested viewers, vs Pinterest bringing thousands or millions of casual viewers.

Some (many?) programs will need to adjust their terms for this practice, or they may face one of those Groupon-like situations where a family bakery needs to serve 100k muffins, at a loss, in a weekend.
Yes. Swedish Dvorak variation. Das Keyboard III. Lots of programming and time on IRC.

Did not touch type when using QWERTY. Switched and learn it correctly. On the flip side, I have no idea where the keys are located if I try to do hunt-and-peck typing now.
Mavis Beacon was the only game on my home computer when I was a child. I'm a little 'freestyle' at times, but in general I use the correct fingers.

Surviving a Hack

With the flash-game finger frenzy (http://www.gimme5games.com/play-game/finger-frenzy-world) I can type the alphabet in under 3 seconds, without using the "right way"
I can touch-type "the right way" when I write text, but I cannot do it while programming. The link is broken when I have to use a lot of punctuation, parentheses and other strange signs the language of choice needs, as most of them should be pressed by the small finger of the right hand. I can press them without looking using other fingers, but it's not that fast.
I was expecting an interesting nugget of info. Too many companies employ someone to do something vague because they like the person. It rarely works out and then someone has to deal with the fallout. As loads of others have said, that was a relatively cheap lesson. People pay hundreds of times that amount to learn things sometimes.
I switched two Dvorak two years ago and forced myself to touch type by buying a blank keyboard (HHKB2). The beginning was very frustrating, but it has payed of!
I tend to believe that in the short/mid future consumer hardware will mostly consist of SSD or similiar solid state forms of memory. Abandoning spinning disks and relying on much faster, smaller and more reliable memory seems so much more promising than hard disks.
First computer when 10 years old in 1982.
First year of typing in school, typed 70 WPM with three fingers in each hand.
Second year of typing in school, typed 95 WPM with touch typing properly.
Third year of typing in school, typed 130 WPM with typing properly.

I'm still 130+ WPM today. On strictly word typing tests I can hit over 160 but I don't think that counts for much.

I've kind of picked up this habit in recent months after buying a Macbook. I use my Windows machine's keyboard and mouse to control my Macbook via Synergy. Unfortunately, the right shift key doesn't register over Synergy on the Mac. :-/
This looks like an incredibly useful app.
I type in a strange fashion: I hover my fingers over the home keys, but never let them touch unless I am depressing a key, and I only use my pinkies for the shift and enter keys. I make surprisingly few mistakes, especially considering that I don't look at the keyboard when I am typing. I also feel that I am able to type as fast as someone who uses the correct technique.

I would suggest that you only use the Mavis Beacon method as a guide; you need to work out what you are comfortable with. Just because touch-typing is considered 'best practise' doesn't make it right for everybody.
I touch type. It's the result of almost 30 years behind a keyboard but I don't think what I do is the "right" way
This isn't antivirus software, it's PcAnywhere.
Truthfully, I don't think 'proper' touchtyping is necessary, per se. I type without looking at the keys, but I only use - I think - three or four fingers of each hand, tops. No doubt proper touchtyping would be more natural for me had I learnt it from the beginning, but I haven't, and trying the proper way hurts my hands after a few hours. I'm able to keep up 100wpm with ease just by having typed a lot in my life. I don't think I'll ever need to type faster than that. Thus, I don't see a reason to learn to touchtype.

Also, I've always disliked those exercises where you have to type jj ff jj ff jj ff jjf jfj ffj fff fjf etc. etc. One of the reasons I can type fast is because I like to hold complete sentences (or blocks of text) in my head and then WHAM it all in on my keyboard. With these exercises, there is no such link, and I have to look at each specific character on my screen. It annoys the crap out of me.

I'm with Steve Yegge: if you can't touch-type, your productivity will remain stuck under a pretty hard ceiling.

I learned to touch-type on a basic mechanic typewriter in the late 80s -- no electricity whatsoever, you had to hit the keys very hard to make it work. The teacher was an old style professional typist; she was almost able to hear each mistake (in a class of 20 people).

There was a huge screen at the end of the classroom that showed a keybord; when the teacher would say "A" she would lit the letter up at the same time. She made us type bizarre and unnatural sequences of letters just to practice some fingers. It was quite funny at times, but I don't think I ever saw her smile.

It was an optional course that didn't give any credit and that you had to pay for (the rest of my education was free, as this took place in France). Best investment I ever made.
When I'm programming I've never managed to touch-type. Maybe it's because of signs and parenthesis and such. It really sucks to not being fast when you have a lot of code to write and not enough time.
> So the Go runtime doesn't automagically transform blocking system calls into non-blocking calls, but if one goroutine is waiting for I/O, other goroutines can run in the meantime.

But when using Go's standard file.read or socket.write, what you get is I/O multiplexing of goroutines (with epoll or kqueue) in the runtime.

Naturally, if you call a C library from Go that uses unix read or write and executes a blocking system call, that cannot be magically intercepted by the Go runtime.

Flat 15% Discount on Oracle and SAP mailing lists Offer Closes On Feb 10th
i retrained myself to touch-type when i was 16.

only thing it took was forcing myself to not type any other way, no matter how slow i ended up being. within a month or two i was typing at my previous speed.
(and continued to improve from there. these days i type faster than almost anyone who isn't training for competitions)

no tutorials, guides, books, teachers needed. just do it.

ps: yes, those two months are painful. try getting into a heated argument on irc and losing because you can't type fast enough. don't break your touch-typing-only rule. just try hard to type faster the right way! that's where the motivation comes from ;)
Gotchas in ehcache

Very misleading headline. There is nothing in here that can validate the claim made in the title. First this is not storage this is just changing magnetism ( only from 0 to 1 ) using a lazer. Also there is no way to read it as of yet without a scanning electron microscope.
Yes. But remember, tape was displaced from the mainstream, but lives on in professional backups. There will still be lots of profitable applications for spinning disk.
"I'm with you on the communication issue. After all, no one is 100% introverted. That term has also become misunderstood and misused."

Yet you still seem to think that introversion and communication skills have something to do with each other ('after all ---'). I don't think this is true. The fundamental difference between introversion and extraversion appears to be how people 'spend' energy and how they 'gain' energy.

For example, I'm probably as introverted as they come. Yet in social situations I seem like an 'extraverted' person, because when I'm with people, I like to talk quite a bit, have some social chatter, all that stuff. But this can tire me. And then there are months when I don't go out and socialize, simply because I'm tired and like to be alone with my thoughts. None of this has much to do with skills of any kind.

Ask HN: How to filter Android apps for phone only
Hi all!
What's the best practice to filter an android application for phone-only use?

android:xlargescreen directive doesn't work (for new phones like prime), and the same is for maxSdkVersion (ics is higher than gingerbread).

So how do you would fix this? thanks!
All the comments on this thread agree that the proposed tax rule sucks, so they prefer the existing capital gains tax rules. But there is a third option which I think would be the best.

There is clearly a problem with the current capital gains tax rules because it favours people who hold their shares over those that trade frequently, even when the rate of return is the same.

For example, suppose I have two trading strategies: Strategy A buys shares and holds them for 20 years. Strategy B buys shares but trades them once a year for 20 years. Also assume that both strategies produce an annual capital gain of 10%. With the current capital gains rules, Strategy A pays far less tax overall than Strategy B - distorting the market and leading to inefficiencies.

So here's my proposal: make the capital gain percentage a function of the duration of the investment and the average rate of return. For example:

If your investment return was 10% over 1 year your capital gain tax is 15%

If your investment return averaged 10% over 3 years your capital gain tax is 16.23%

If your investment return averaged 10% over 20 years your capital gain tax is 28.21%

If your investment return was 20% over 1 year your tax capital gain is 15%

If your investment return averaged 20% over 3 years your capital gain tax is 15.94%

If your investment return averaged 20% over 20 years your capital gain tax is 21.30%

etc...

Ok, it's not the simplest tax rule, but it would greatly reduce the distortion of the current capital gain tax system.

I learned to touch-type on an ergonomic keyboard (in Dvorak no less), and when I use a normal keyboard it tends to feel uncomfortable because my wrists are positioned at a smaller angle.

So I'm in the odd situation that I both "sloppily" touch type in Qwerty on normal keyboards, so I can keep my hands at a comfortable angle, but faced with an ergonomic keyboard I can switch to Dvorak and touch-type.

> To clarify, node already has parallelized I/O threads. The only thing that isn't parallelized is the JS-land code.

But Node.js runs only in a single native thread, right? So it's single threaded I/O multiplexing using epoll/kqueue and the thread calls JS callbacks when some I/O takes place. In C or C++ you could run n native threads serving m sockets using a single "reactor".
