Thanks for the post, Eric. I found it very useful. I wasn't aware of Jekyll, so it was great to discover that you could survive just fine in 2012 without a DB. Time to migrate from Wordpress.

As someone who plays Pyro a lot, there are two things to realize: playing (good) Pyro is hard, and pick your fights. Being a melee class, you have to know which battles you can win, and which you can't. So the "hope he's an idiot" approach may work, just judge your opponents before committing to the fight. Know how and when to use your airblast, secondary, and melee.

Yes, it can be rather annoying to play, but in the long run, it gets better. In organized matches, the Pyro is a rather critical part of the team. Both the Engineer and the Medic depend on him/her for their protection. If you get any satisfaction from helping your team, that makes it worth it.
Thanks for the write-up! I am a junior in college who is very interested in that sort of lifestyle when I graduate and finish off my student loans. I'd be happy as a clam if I could find a job or a number of freelance projects that'd allow me to have a decent standard of living abroad while seeing different parts of the world. I have a few questions if you would be so kind to consider.

Are you considering trips anywhere else? How is your Spanish after spending a year in Mexico? What was your relative standard of living like when making money from these projects? Did you go into it with a reasonable "war chest" of savings to live off of while acclimating to the environment? Was it ever a deterrent to potential hirers that you were abroad? What was the coolest part of your experience?

I might have a couple more depending on your answers.
May I make a suggestion? You are asking the wrong crowd of people.

You are asking a group of highly motivated, highly technical people what problems they have at their dayjob. This is the exact reason we have a hundred to-do lists, time-trackers and project management packages.

I'm not saying there is no room to innovate in the "serving other technical people" field. But if you step outside and talk to someone in some totally different field, I imagine you will not only be solving problems but will be doing so in a less competitive, more lucrative environment.

You would be surprised/aghast at how crude of technical solutions many careers put up with on a day-to-day basis.
I agree with you about IBs and large banks. We had some really interesting stuff going on to the extent we were leaders in our field. I wouldn't call CFA lightweight though, I found it hard. It was mainly memorisation of boring, boring, boring stuff. Little motivation == hard.

Certainly if you build Chromium from git/SVN now, the bug is fixed.

Matt Cutts (of Google) replied

> Normally I just comment on webspam stuff and don't diss our competitors, or praise our products, but I feel the need to say that Gdrive is better. It's beautifully simple and it just works.

Maybe it’s just late at night and the ‘tonin is kicking in. I think Matt’s having fun with Dropbox about Google’s yet-unreleased competing product, but what’s the joke?
Why is he grouping JavaScript with the "C-oid languages"? Not even close!
I would like to think that the sentiment of this piece is to move programmers to go and explore more disciplines.

Or to make the point that computer programming is such a powerfull tool that it's a shame to see that a lot of competent programmers are "just programmers" who think of code as an end to itself. Higher levels of manipulation and appreciation are available. Like a car mechanic, stuck with the beauty of the engine and the physics involved, but not the freedom and happiness and excitement of the car runing .
AutoRobot TD - Defend and Defeat IPA Version 8.84
Not sure why this keeps getting downvoted. It's a well known "dirty secret". Just try searching for XML Config Transforms as that's theoretically the clean way of solving this problem. It's only natively supported for certain projects, can be hacked into more via manually editting MSBUILD and CSPROJ files and worst of all, breaks miserably during the Azure deploy as VS simply skips some of MSBUILD files and simply decides to package things from your original source tree as it sees fit. Meaning it completely and utterly fails at the one good thing it can do as it only works in fairly contrived situations.

This means I have to manually edit connection strings, debug settings and more that vary between our local ASP.NET servers, our intranet dev server, our local emulator environment and then debug/prod Azure instances.

If I'm mistaken I would be ecstatic to be corrected. Hell, I'd have paid money out of pocket for a macro/conditional solution for this problem when I was working on this project. Also, if it's just too off-topic, please accept my sincere apologies. I just found it kinda nitpicky to pick on Android for this, although I can sympathize with the author if they're accustomed to more "open" languages and frameworks that are more tool-friendly.
Geoloqi’s Amber Case Wants to Simplify LBS App-making
Good luck to him. He sounds like a good choice. So glad they didn't find some square-jawed empty suit. The fact that he heavily participates in online communities is a very good sign.

I do hope he has a delicate touch though. It's surprisingly easy to set off communities if you come in guns blazing. It would not be difficult to replicate the The Great Digg Rebelling of 2010.

Probably the best thing to do would be to win over the community by making very small and uncontroversial improvements. Nothing that is self-serving. UI improvements, better search, nicer notifications, etc.

Increasing revenue would be easy to do but very risky if it involves any new forms of advertising. I hope they can push that one off a bit or come up with something users don't find objectionable (which will be tough).

Reddit has grown so large with only very minor improvements over the years. It would be a shame to have someone "fix" what ain't broke.

The resolution is kind of awkward for moving watching no? There's no 1:1 mapping of source pixel to hardware pixel, so you're going to get some filtering regardless. But, a step up regardless. The current iPad screen is downright painful to look at once you've been spoiled by high-DPI screens.

> "although I think it's high time they up the flash storage at this point. 64GB doesn't go that far at Full HD."

I actually don't think this is a big issue. It would seem to me that Apple is moving slowly towards the Amazon model - cloud-based content provision of everything. It used to be that you'd have to download giant files to a "mothership" computer, then pipe it over USB to your mobile device, but with iCloud and now downloading your movies over the air, this seems positively archaic.
Yeah, the author made a point of noting "this" could be in a register or the stack, but that to me just says "C". The functions moving around wouldn't necessarily mean it is written by hand, though. There just needs to be some rules governing the system and we don't know what those rules are (yet).

I would just be very surprised if this is anything other than some convention developed on top of C.
Where does "confused some foreigners" equal "laughing at foreigners"?
Do you have a specific startup idea? If you do, you could use some of the money you earn and something like elance.com / crowdspring.com to get a Minimal Viable Product up and running. Then you can start testing it out, while still keeping your job. If things are working out, take the plunge, if not, you won't go broke.

If you don't have a specific idea, you could go to hacker meetups, colleges and find groups of people with an idea and a team and join them. Offering to do some work and pay for food, servers etc. - I could sure use someone like that right now ;)

Finally if you already have 4-6 years of a similar role under your belt then you can probably move back into a similar role anytime you wish. But if not, you probably need the years on your resume in case you want back in.

Moral of the story - it's not a binary decision, you can be doing both at the same time.
Come on guys, exercise your imaginative centers a bit. Rainbows are bright, colorful, playful, remind you of sunny days out at the park with your friends. It's not a huge stretch.

By the way, any Emacker who shares my skepticism of the value of the traditional Emacs practice of having special indentation amounts for certain special forms and who prefers a slightly more regular/boring indentation style can get the TAB key to reflect that skepticism/preference with (setq lisp-indent-offset 2) and (setq lisp-body-indent 2) (or (setq lisp-indent-offset 4) and (setq lisp-body-indent 4) or such).

Am I the only person in the world who likes Maven? I am a hipster Ruby on Rails dev by day (the type who should loathe Maven), but in a past job I had to use Maven, and I really like how various details about the project (name, version, dependencies) are well defined. Writing plugins isn't easy to get started, but once over the initial hurdle, it's nice to have those things specified.

Comparing to Rake, I'm currently trying to create a rake task to create a custom package (non-gem). I don't even get a project name for free. I've got to ask the user to pass in the name (or a Gemspec object perhaps).

Is the objection to the mass of XML? Or to Maven itself? I can understand the former, but I really think Maven is a well engineered system...

Samsung replies to TIM COOK's keynote about the Android Tabs with

"What can the Note do that the iPad cannot? The Note can: view and work with two apps at the same time; cut-and-paste content between two apps side-by-side; take notes in one app while viewing content in another app; and edit and write with high levels of precision thanks to the S-Pen. The new iPad does none of these. Samsung also brags about the Note's lighter and thinner form factor, USB device support, and expandable storage options"
$1800 will get you only a 1 bedroom in Cole Valley these days - and not even a nice one. Tech Bubble 2.0 and all that. Anything on the east side of the city is through the roof, really, especially if it's a nice neighborhood like Cole Valley or Duboce. Moreover, as soon as Facebook goes IPO everyone expects alllll the Noe Valley homes to get bought up by the new millionare types.

But you can still get a good 2BR in the Inner Sunset or the Inner Richmond / north of the Panhandle (near USF) for the low-to-mid $2000s, and it will easily be five times as big as this place. You can do even better in the outer mission or Ocean View / Taraval (near CCSF), and quite fine in the southwestern corner by the main UCSF campus. Mission Bay students have it a little harder if they're not in on-campus housing - perhaps somewhere in the Bayview? Of course, Mission Bay campus is a short walk from the Caltrain depot, as well, and the transfer to a streetcar from BART is doable.

I still suspect that apartment is for PARTYING PARTYING every night and living the Bohemian lifestyle where you're mostly in your place to sleep and occasionally study. Their parents are paying for it. The price premium is because "we can easily sell this to the rich parents who are only in town a short period of time".
At Bloomberg, we provide the same live vessel position via the BMAP function on the terminal mainly so that oil / natural gas traders can monitor and speculate commodities flows based on ship traffic and reported contents of ships. Someone posted a screenshot on this Quora question:

It is definitely fun to play around with. Similar tools are provided to slice/dice the data to look at all the vessels which match particular criteria.

Similarly, all the data for positions of critical infrastructure (refineries, oil pipelines, power plants, etc) are provided as well as live storm tracking information so traders can determine if natural disasters will affect particular sectors or companies.
Minor nitpick: I think for is a special case of while more than while is a special case of for.

Shutterstock's Github Repo of Dirty, Foul and Otherwise Bad Words
On the first letter of the invite code entry fields, I see a box character, as if there's a character that I don't have on my system.

I took a look, and I saw a whole bunch of this in the CSS:

.first:before{
content:"\e04c"
}

.last:before{
content:"\e04d"
}

.fullscreen:before{
content:"\e04e"
}

.fullscreen_alt:before{
content:"\e04f"
}

.fullscreen_exit:before{
content:"\e050"
}

.fullscreen_exit_alt:before{
content:"\e051"
}

.equalizer:before{
content:"\e052"
}

I wonder why they're adding a bunch of private use area character in the CSS? It's not like there's a custom font on the page that uses those characters. The only thing it can do is cause problems for people, like me, who must have some font on their system that covers one of those characters.

LSD is also known for it's use in treating migraines (about a 1/4 of a recreational dose is effective). I used to keep a supply for this purpose as I was unable to afford the prescription drugs that provide me relief. Unfortunately, LSD carries such a heavy penalty that I no longer do this and usually just shut myself in a dark room for a day or two when I get migraines. I'm lucky that I get them very rarely as opposed to those that get them monthly or even weekly.

I remember a short blurb in a Cary Grant [auto?]biography about his use of the drug in therapy and how it changed his life and perspective for the better.

It bothers me that a drug like this is so demonized that its possible therapeutic values are almost completely ignored. I know that there are some researchers still doing work in the area, but they are very few due to the huge legal obstacles at the federal levels.

I see this as just one more area where prohibition has harmed us. It's so sad that science has become subject to government after so many hundreds of years working to free it from the yoke of religion.

Edit: BTW, LSD is listed as a Schedule I drug (the most serious according to US law) and is listed with other such threats as MDMA, heroin, and mankind's worst enemy: Marijuana. It also carries a life sentence in federal prison upon a second trafficking offense.

I wonder how many of those alcoholics moved on to psychedelics after treatment :)

You guys are downvoting me, but at the time addiction and alcoholism were considered separate phenomenon. Psychedelics being new, nobody predicted the 1970s and burnt out hippies, thus the study doesn't seem to take into account alcoholics becoming drug addicts.

As others have mentioned, no, the costs in Japan are far lower than this. You could get a place twice as big for the same money, at a very central location, in a brand new building.

Hell, you could get a bigger place for much LESS. My friend just rented a brand new place in Shibuya for 95000 a month, with beautiful interior, entryway, super-modern shower/bath, gas range, ample space for a proper washing machine, and the main living space is separated from everything else by a heavy door. The whole building is built from such heavy concrete that there is no worry about bothering/being bothered by the neighbors.

This is utterly standard. I hope some day soon the US figures out how to build similarly awesome but affordable buildings.

Good point if you've grown up around addicts you'll know that it's VERY common for them to simply substitute one drug for another.

In the lucky cases they substitute meth with alcohol, tobacco and coffee but I could totally picture someone going for cannabis, LSD instead of alcohol.

Essentially, it's a psychological thing and it's rarely about the substance itself. LSD is just a replacement for the god experience.

However I'd take this opportunity to recommend the documentary Ibogaine - A rite of passage.
