Edit: I don't think everyone should be downvoting the parent. It's a logical statement from someone outside the field - you see "organs grown in XYZ lab!" all the time in the press.

As a biologist, I can tell you that home-grown organs are waaay more than 15 years away.

Currently, we can grow skin pretty well. Mostly because skin likes to grow and is very simple in structure. We are making progress on growing liver tissue, again because liver cells are particularly robust and the liver is not a strongly organized tissue. It is (mostly) a big blog of heterogeneous cells that does not require complicated geometry and organization.

Anything past those two are wishful thoughts. I'm not discounting the advances that we have made in growing organs. We've done some very cool work, but it is certainly a long way away. Once the basic science is established, it will still take a long time to get widespread medical approval.

Re: "repairing" the brain makes growing an organ look trivial. The difference is like building a house vs repairing CERN's LHC.

I tried it both ways; employer & developer; both work fine on oDesk. Much better than other sites I have tried.

Basic thing is ; don't go for mainstream. You cannot compete on price doing PHP or something like that. If you have something 'niche', you can pretty much ask what you want and get it.
I think your timing is plausible, given what we can do now and 15 years ago. I cant remember how astonished I was when I saw this! [1]

Interesting Episode. But I really don't get it why I should trade the benefits of a real GUI-Editor like MacVIM with crippling myself in the terminal. What's the gain in switching editor- and shell-windows with tmux-Shortcut against using Command-Tab and the (customizable) shortcut for switching tabs in iterm?

The Big Robot Questions
Point: if you want to make nice money on oDesk, offer a niche expertise. I started a small company doing node.js/mongodb/redis and I can pretty much ask what I want. There is no competition. On the other hand, when i'm short handed, it's impossible to find people with these skills on a non-beginner level who are not really insanely expensive, so it's not exactly a highly scalable business ;)
I agree with you and lispm about the complexity of code walking in CL.

This data only reflects the oDesk labor market (which is notoriously a race to the bottom). I would hesitate to draw any other conclusions. However, it would be interesting to see this data broken down by geographic region.
Any evidence that this solves it?
The Constitution does not say how it is to be interpreted, with the Founders expecting it to be interpreted in a pre-existing framework of common law. For instance, this was used by the Supreme Court to establish judicial review, which is not explicitly enumerated in the Constitution. Without those "activist judges" the Supreme Court would be toothless and the Constitution toilet paper.

So those are the "facts of reality", not your libertarian fantasies. As for the rest of your rant I consider it both off-topic and highly uninteresting. Actually, we're off-topic already, so I'll stop here.
VLC is probably illegal in some countries due to the patents applying to a lot of video and audio codecs. If Sourceforge downloads were over an encrypted connection, one could avoid monitoring.

I am of two minds about these draconian attempts to maintain IP laws. Although, I abhor the corporatist position that they need harsher more invasive tools to maintain their IP claims against piracy, the creation of such laws and enforcement tools will push the wider public to understand and perhaps embrace tools that make them free. Free software and practices that enforce one's own privacy and free will might only became widespread when the average citizen understands in a personal way the need for a free and open set of tools for living in an information based culture.
On the other hand, it is only rational to look at the history of oppression and see the harm this pattern of legislation can foster. We should, as educated free individuals collectively speak out and act out against legislation which furthers the trading of freedoms for corporate or personal profit.
Thanks for the feedback. It's really hard to test videos within the framework of the weekend since time is so compressed.

How do government services in the US get away with this? Walmart has computers for people to apply for jobs with sitting in their stores, why can't the government do the same. A kiosk is expensive sure, but can't be impossible...
Fair enough. However, it sounds like you overestimate the experience at other retailers. Waiting in checkout lines is also a bottleneck where one grabs the product off-the-shelf. Lines are typical in popular stores.

For example, a few days before Xmas I spilled beer on my keyboard and had to get a new one ASAP. I drove down to BestBuy, walked back to where all the keyboards were on display, and quickly scanned the shelves. I prefer wired to wireless for the desktop, and quickly found there were only 2 (out of ~15) wired models. They were gaming-oriented with all sorts of cruft, costing ~$80. I glanced around, noticed the Apple product area, walked over and found a simple Apple wired keyboard for $50 (I don't even own a Mac). I spent the next 20min in the checkout line, where the cashier tried to get me to signup for some program(s) of theirs. Not a pleasant experience either.
Agree, it's about the how, not the who.

Methods evolve, and truly good design is as much about resource efficiency and user experience as it is interaction dynamics and look and feel.

Today, if our most iconic, beautiful buildings required, like the pyramids, 25,000 laborers hand-stacking mud-brick over a 20-year period, that would be bad design. If our intra-city train systems ran above-ground, powered by steam, that would be bad design.

It's not Graphic Designers who are ruining anything, just as it's not Teachers who are ruining public education. It's bad Designers using inefficient methods.
Correct on all accounts. You will still need to query the database at least for the parent object being rendered. The time saved is shaved off from the rendering time.

Apple's OS X Mountain Lion: The Macs that will be left behind
Apple hasn't yet released its official list of Macs that won't get support for Mountain Lion and company officials weren't available for comment on the matter on Friday morning. But in releasing its developer preview of the new operating system Thursday, an intrepid programmer did some digging and shared with the Apple-centric blog TUAW a list of machines that, as ArsTechnica puts it, are getting "voted off the Mountain Lion island."
Yes, but not rates being charged for using the listed skill.

As to the dreaded axis values: I think your chart, in this context, does exaggerate the variation in hourly wage by skill. At first glance, almost all your data points are between $25 and $35. Clojure hourly wage is around $31 per hour from the interactive chart. Your lowest hourly wage for a skill, haml, is $25.90. This simply is not much of a difference and your chart should make that clear.

I like your article. It is interesting, and I appreciate your efforts to take this data and provide some value out of it to the community.

I think we need to be more conservative in drawing any conclusions out of this data though.
Interesting, yesterday I moved to a local caching DNS server (much faster and more reliable than what isp provided), however I forgot to set it to run at start up, first thing I do today is try to get to my gmail account, everything is working ok then I try to enter another site, dns lookup error, then I remembered I had named turned off, which means that chrome may have hardcoded google sites ip addresses or is caching them (which is less probable the other site didn't work).

Actually, both your solution and theirs are not O(1). Theirs is n^2, while yours is n lg n due to the use of a sort function. The best way to do this would simply be to find the largest element, ignore that element and find the largest element again, which is O(n).

The point of the post is that the syntax for writing html is getting better (just using 'html' as a doctype is great). But in terms of application, there is none.

If you want to write a web site/service and you want to support more users than just your friends, you have to do things right to support older browsers (and IE) and this means things like including all of the tags that FF/Chrome are automatically adding.
It would be cool to see how well you could make a Godson-3A run JS, some of their instructions designed to help virtualization could help (I guess).

A bit random that this showed up today, was just thinking about MIPS. Partially SGI nostalgia, and partially about the new Loongson/Godson-3B chips and their fancy vector units.
I'm pretty should that was the point.
There are many niche skill sets out there where the demand far exceeds the currently supply, and as such hourly rates from $100/hour (lower level) to $200+/hour (architect level) are quite common and you really can pick your job/location/work from home, etc... The trick is finding one, and learning it quickly/well.

I've often thought about grabbing a bunch of folks with a similar relevant skill set, investing 6-12 months in training them, and then running a hugely profitable consulting company for a while. The problem being it's hard to prevent people from hanging out for your 12 months of training, and then jumping ship to do their own thing afterward...
Overall Assessment canon EOS-50D Computerized Single Get in touch with Reflex
There's a mis-match between the terms "well-designed" and "looks beautiful." I find many sites that look gorgeous, but I can't find what I want, and can't make them do what I need. So I leave. They fail the basic requirement that they meet the needs of me, a potential customer.

But I'm also finding increasingly that I feel like my face is being pushed through mush. Everything seems soft, or rounded, or pastel, or otherwise character-free. This button is blended, that panel is graduated. It's all free of any kind of personality.

It's mush.

And so many times it's slow to load, slow to render, unusable on anything other than the huge screen size used by the "designer," and I still can't find what I want.

Whose fault is that? Maybe it's not the graphic designer's fault, but it's certainly making the web an unpleasant, unrewarding, and sometimes downright frustrating experience.

But it looks gorgeous.
> But I still don't see how something like this could be anything but a net positive.

The student will construct their own knowledge of programming by some learning process. This tool has an effect on that process, as has every tool. It could, for example, let some students construct an understanding of a variable that makes it harder to start learning about, say, memoization in dynamic programming. (This is just an conjectured example, mind)

I don't say it will, and I do have to say that the visualization given is quite nice and sound. But because we, as experienced programmers, like a tool because it visualizes how we think about programming and program execution, that does not mean that this is transferable in a similar way to novice programmers. As a high school computer science teacher I have been growing more and more worried about so called anti-didactic inversion in programming education. Especially at lower levels of education.

In programming education, we often use professional programming tools with professional programming languages and professional measures of programming quality. When students are learning to become professional programmers, this is a good idea. But is it as good an idea for teaching programming to those who do not want to become professional programmers. Or for those who are learning programming as a basic skill (like math, language, etc)?

Bash doesn't actually handle the syntax highlighting in those cases, it's all done by the interpreter itself. You'll need to either modify your interpreter through a plugin or replace it. For Python, check out bpython [1]. If you don't mind using a graphical program for your interactive REPL, check out DreamPie [2] or the newish GUI version of ipython [3], which is a bit of a bear to install, unfortunately. I don't think the command-line version of ipython supports syntax highlighting, but I'd love to be wrong about that. I'm not really qualified to talk about Standard ML as my experience with it have been primarily in Emacs rather than the REPL.

Well nobody read every newsgroup, did they?

A virtual reel can have thousands of stops. 99% of those can map to the same physical space. That's the magic of Telnaes.

A typical PAR sheet is mentioned in the study two leaps above, but that's just reverse-engineering the math. Understanding virtual reels helps look at it from the designer's direction.

The invention of "bonus games" that play when a certain reel combination was hit also changed the math drastically. A lot of companies that were locked out of virtual reels by IGT's ownership of the Telnaes patent used this technique to offer similar payout structures.
If designers are to blame at all, it's as much the fault of clients that won't back down when asking the designers to add more and more to every page.

That was my impression as well. The rates are from the lower end of the pool, people with general experience and no deep expertise.

I have worked off and on for many years as a contractor working on high-end database scalability and performance issues as well as parallel algorithm design. While the rates fluctuated with the market and how much I liked the project, I was always charging well above $100/hr even for terms that ran several months.

A lot of it has to do with who your customers are. If you are working on the design of a system that will be moving $250M per year if it performs correctly, spending an extra $100k to hire a deep expert in the design of such systems is below the noise floor. You might be a "database scalability consultant" but you are not fishing in the same pool as most of the people that claim similar labels for themselves.

Hacking group- Indishell leader gets arrested
Agreed. These toy-features are especially bitter when you look at how little bash the language has evolved in the past decade.

Pretty much every system out there drags a significant baggage of shell-scripts along. Yet there's been barely any improvement on the arcanest of all syntaxes. We keep on painstakingly reinventing ever the same control structures (half-broken lockfile mechanisms, retry loops, miserable support for pid/pgroups, awkward subprocess/fd handling etc. etc.) because for some reason nobody bothers to finally bake them into the shell.

It's become so bad that most teams seem to resort to using a different scripting language for complex tasks nowadays. But that comes with its own hairball of problems and imho the de-facto shell-scripting language simply should not fall behind its own problem domain so far that the preferred approach becomes to not use it.
Thanks jacquesm and gregpilling I appreciate all the advice you have given me!

Death is a medical failure, just like our inability to cure herpes is a medical failure. That there's no way to overcome the failure yet does not imply that it is not a failure.

Using this tool, a student would get a visceral sense for what the stack and heap are, from experience (even if nobody had mentioned those words before). e.g. "Pointers point at stuff on the heap."

Teachers and students have been drawing pictures like this on the blackboard, or on paper, for a long time. Many experienced programmers visualize these pictures in their imagination (unless they're implementing a familiar pattern). That can be tedious and error-prone. Why not let the computer show you what it's doing?

Many debuggers already show some of what this tool does, but I've never seen one quite like this.

Can you give an example of a "more complex programming structure" where this would be detrimental to understanding?
In the cases of Flash and Java, possibly also trying to disclaim responsibility.
