On the one hand this is a great result, congratulations to the Polish activists for acting and achieving this!

However I'm a bit sad the protests happened so late and only in Poland. ACTA had been negotiated since 2008, the final draft being leaked online in 2010... Since some members including USA signed already on 1 October 2011, realistically it already was to late to stop it.

Maybe if SOPA had happened 1 year earlier, the spillover activism could have stopped ACTA too? :/

I am Lead Software Engineer for The Motley Fool (http://www.fool.com/press/about.htm) a top US website focused on financial news and advice. I am taking part in an internal development program and one step is to visit other companies. I would like to learn any new practices we might want to try and pass on any we have found particularly helpful. These do not have to be just development processes; we also have a great office culture (http://culture.fool.com/) that we are always looking to improve! I would love to spend a morning, afternoon, or even a full day with you and your team especially if you are really proud of the work you do and the team you do it with. I hope to keep this pretty low key so I don’t impact anyone’s day too greatly.

Our shop is mostly ASP.Net with some old classic ASP thrown in for color. We have web forms, ASP.Net MVC, and all three view engines in play. Our builds and releases are highly automated, mostly done on a one week schedule but we do release as needed. My team has recently started to develop a new site using django, which has been a fun experience learning puppet, buildout, and fabric. I would love to visit with your team if you’re running a larger website on django!

I hope this can be a fun time, I can’t promise any business changing ideas but I can promise a cool Fool baseball cap and lunch! I will be in town a couple days before PyCon (March 5th and 6th)! Please feel free to email me at mgurtzweiler@fool.com to coordinate.

Thanks!

However, a friend of mine would probably love this. He's constantly traveling for work and always looking for people to talk to (in his industry/sphere of interests) because it's so boring. There's plenty of travelling salesmen types out there who want this, so why not let them sit together :)

This is decent advice for companies. And I presume some will follow it "No $EMPLOYEE, it's for your own good that we don't make counter-offers, sorry!".

However they have to follow the other part of the advice: "Have clear and consistent salary guidelines, and regularly give raises to people who are outperforming their pay level. Don’t be a tight-fisted, short-sighted moron."

People do spend a lot of time on the site which might make adds an interesting alternative, but I would rather not muddy up the site with them. Any ideas are very welcome.

I feel people on HN/you are a small percentage of people who use latex and git in that way. I think most latex users backup policy is copying and pasting folders.

My favorite (sub)thread

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=328819

from 1211 says ago described Japan during its "lost decade" in the context of a thread about predictions of a downturn in venture capital funding for start-ups.

"Q: Anyone here lived through the Japan depression care to share their experiences with us?

"A: It was terrible. People were forced to eat raw fish for sustenance. They couldn't get full-sized electronics, so they were forced to make tiny ones. Unable to afford proper entertainment, folks would make do by taking turns to get up and sing songs."

That made me feel a lot less bleak about the recession in the United States, which may now be ending.
It's been a few months since I utilized Magento in a project, but I was very impressed (from a end-user perspective) with its UI/UX and feature set. It's based on the LAMP stack and has a very active community and a variety of plug-ins.

The downsides were that it is a little bloated, and the code isn't extremely well documented or developer friendly.

Of course that was a few releases back, and I'm sure a lot has changed since then, but I would definitely recommend you at least see if it meets your needs.
Perforce just raised their limit on the free version to 20 users and 20 workspaces, it used to be 2 users. We use it at Tinkercad and have been very happy, I used it at Google previously. The price (free) is acceptable for almost any small development organization.

The one point I really disagree on is Linux.

Sure learning Linux will most likely teach you something about the platform on which anything you write will probably be deployed but that's really marginal (IMHO).

You get things done (programming included) by getting all the roadblocks out of your way. Linux is (IMHO) a roadblock. The OP claims it teaches you researching skills by giving you problems everyday you need to find solutions for. This is true in the same way that refusing to buy food of any kind teaches self-sufficiency.

To get things done you need to get in the zone. This means eliminating distractions. Trying to figure out why copy and paste doesn't work (and it turns out that it's because you're using OpenJDK instead of the Sun JDK) very much takes you out of that zone and then wastes time to boot.

This might be more useful later on (maybe) but learning to programming? No way.

To me, the best development platform is OSX. Why? Because it's (BSD) UNIX that is a pleasure to use that (mostly) doesn't have the aforementioned problems. My only real beef is that if you're used to using a program on Linux or Windows the keyboard shortcuts will generally be different on OSX (due to following the OSX conventions).

And as much as people (myself included) like to rag on Windows (in my case: the complexity), the fact is that modern Windows (Win7) is actually a pretty pleasant experience. Some things (eg git) suck but Cygwin can ameliorate a lot of those problems.
It could be great propaganda if the Pirate Bay just did everything themselves. Add the button for any torrents where they know for sure how to send money to the copyright holder, and just send them a cheque in the mail. And of course, make all the revenues public.
This discussion has overlooked the last paragraph of Bram's post, which is that counteroffers are a non-solution when the manager has already failed. Don't give counteroffers, because you should avoiding do situations where your employees get competitive offers from outside. There are good ways (money, respect, excitement) and evil (sweatshop campuses) to achieve that
Assuming the other terms of the deal are fine, you should accept both offers.

More money will always help. Revenue will appear and grow more slowly than you hope.

There's no reasonable way to calculate expenses because to do so, you need to accurately predict how your team & business will develop for the next 18 months, which can't really be done.

Just take whatever you can get on reasonable terms and move on with building the company.

Because Spotify and other all-you-can-eat music subscription services are no more likely to earn you a decent living as an artist than the shenanigans the labels have been pulling with advances on exorbitantly priced production and distribution services for decades.

Spotify may well be providing significant revenue to the labels, but as Derek Webb pointed out, it's a raw deal that devalues music in general with little upside to anyone in the industry (http://derekwebb.tumblr.com/post/13503899950/giving-it-away-...).

Now sure, maybe labels have been overpricing music with $20 CDs and they're ripe for disruption. But at the same time, why should artists be keen on trading in their overpaid RIAA-type management for a handful of small tech startups with no credible upside (how viral would you have to go to earn a million dollars?). The fact that Spotify is consumer-friendly means very little to a starving artist. If I were a musician I certainly wouldn't be buying into that system. Instead I'd be tolerating piracy and doing what I could to differentiate myself in the high-value channels (ie. people buying music).

Yes, people will pay.

Its way beyond a thought experiment, its been proved. Proved to the tune of $1m.

This whole debate is over now.

Louis CK showed the planet exactly how it should be done, and no one seems to have noticed, cared or learned the lessons. And he is a comedian who doesn't even know how torrents work! (Also, a damn fine comedian) No one has any excuse now. Right product, right price, easy to get and keep. Simple.

He sold his "DVD" on line for $5, £3.40 ish in my UK money. Normally that would be £10 or more here. Dont know how much a new DVD would cost in the US. Louis made $1m in 12 days. The full break down of that is on his site. (He roughly divided the money evenly 4 ways: staff bonus, costs, charity and Louis. LCK actually too slightly less than 25%.)

What these media companies are desperate to support is that difference of £6.60 going to big old businesses for absolutely nothing what so ever. We idiots just give them that money. Louis on the other hand made good money, none went to the scavengers, and he is a happy bunny. We all got a great product for what I reckon is a very fair price, and Louis got a great pay cheque. I imagine the government will also get a load of tax too.

So, why is this still an issue? Why are governments still trying to criminalise their citizens to protect a dying business model? Its like propping up the asbestos industry by arresting people with breathing problems. (yeah, I know, but ...)

I suppose its because government make a huge amount of tax out of this, and many people are employed doing what turns out to be redundant jobs. Louis CK's model takes most of that away. Oooops.

Frankly, the US gov, above all, is supporting and enforcing what amounts to old style socialism by the back door, but now using state threats and power to force it on its citizens. Rather then using public money to create and prop up jobs, and a tax merry go round, they use the cheaper and easier legal system to prop up inefficient flabby tax and job creating and maintenance schemes. Or Hollywood as its more commonly known. But the money comes directly from the consumer. Its a tax. Brilliant scam.

See it for what it is people. It would be more honest for the government to create a Hollywood tax for every one to pay.

What is sad is that thousands of people will have their lives ruined by all this. Families destroyed, people in jail and ruined. The US authorities actually extradite people like they are terrorists for these "crimes". What's next, rendition for people who live in countries who don't bow to American threats? All this so Hollywood types can cream off a profit.

How is this not the biggest scandal of the 21st century? There is something very, very wrong here. It is sickening.

Is this really what artists what? I doubt Louis CK does.

Hope that wasn't to much of a rant... :)

Ask HN: JavaScript Dev Tools
I'm an experienced developer who is really interested in JavaScript frameworks such as Node.js, Backbone, and client side stuff such as Sencha.

However, I'm struggling with them, which I think is because I haven't found the right tooling or a setup that suits my workflow.

On my Java, Rails and C++ projects, I'm equally as happy in emacs as I am in a richer IDE, but this combination of loosely typed JavaScript and poorly documented framework APIs based around massively nested maps means I can barely get a page of moderately complexity to even parse.

When I get past that, my debugger consists of alert().

What am I missing in order to be able to effectively work with JavaScript? Would you recommend any particular APIs, Frameworks, Articles etc to get started?

The Secret of 73 and 137 
Let’s have a game.

For this trick, secretly write 73 on a piece of paper, fold it up, and give to an unsuspecting friend.

Now have your friend select a four-digit number whatever (say, 3125) and enter it twice into a calculator. (31253125)
Announce that the number is divisible by 137 and have him verify it on his calculator.
Next, announce that he can now divide by his original four-digit number. After he has done so, dramatically command him to look at your prediction on the paper. It will match his calculator display: 73!

This reminds me of a Fredric Brown short story I can't remember the name of in which an entity travelling through the galaxies encounters a planet upon which consciousnesses are, surprisingly, encased in finite bits of matter. There is matter, and there is consciousness, but never had this entity seen the two in some combination.

I don't know if there's a real "who came first" in speculative fiction, but I often think Brown's ideas were truly innovative. For instance, in his 1954 (very) short story "Answer", we see the basis for Skynet, and I've been as yet unable to find an earlier instance of this idea. http://www.alteich.com/oldsite/answer.htm
Learn only one thing at a time, and console.log instead of alert. I like Chrome's JS console. I code in a generic text editor with highlighting but no code completion. If you can't get your code to even parse correctly then it's a problem with writing too much code between runs, not the tools.

At the end of the day, Backbone.js and Ember.js are two tools, with two different philosophies that leads to a different set of features that are good for different things. That may appear to be a vague statement, but that's pretty much the case here.

Ember.js is a better tool out of the box for a narrower range of problems because it comes with a bit more features that solve some common annoyances that wycats found with backbone.js. Backbone.js is a better tool for a wider range of use cases precisely because it prescribes less in areas where you will find that a pre described way of doing things will get you into trouble.

From what I understand, if you are trying to make an advanced website with rich interactivity, ember.js may be the better choice for you, and if you are trying to create a full-blown web app, the flexibility of backbone.js will give you just what you need and get out of your way when you need something else. YMMV

Disclaimer: I've been using backbone since late 2009.
