I personally worked with two of the people who were layed off today, and am friends of friends with others. This isn't a 85% unsurprising day by any means, it's a serious cut back of the support department (worldwide) because management built up too much capacity while the GMs built tools that allowed serious increases in productivity, the biggest of which was essentially automating the process of recovering hacked accounts (I can't begin to describe how many people have their WoW accounts hacked, and recovery used to take hours in the early days).

Enterprise software purchasing is pretty broken from both sides, but the vendors make tons of money because of it and the managers who do the purchasing often don't care.

Part of the problem Alex is seeing (and I've seen) is that the startup/small business segment just isn't that big, and vendors are usually fine with ignoring it and losing out on revenue. I do a lot of stuff on the side and have tried to buy licenses for some enterprise products, and even mid-sized vendors aren't really interested in talking to me. Large vendors like Oracle and IBM are heavily optimized toward selling to big businesses who need a purchasing process to take months and aren't as sensitive to price. The App Store model is 99%+ consumer-oriented.

Unfortunately, a lot of startups and small Enterprise vendors end up recruiting sales and marketing people who have been successful at larger vendors, so the same practices get implemented.

I blame this mostly on purchasing practices that are largely centered around managers mitigating risk. The risk they are most interested in mitigating is the risk that they'll get fired for making (or approving) a bad purchasing decision. Vendors are happy to play along, since it usually means they can make more money out of the deal.

The OCSP is used to ensure that in case of security breach the certificate can be revoked dynamically. If you don't care about the "dynamic" part then you can skip the whole OCSP process all together. Now you are in the same state as you will be with embedding your server cert in the app without the need to "hack" the system.

BTW, nothing prevents you from using your own certs. Just make yourself a CA, add root cert to the app, and implement OCSP on your server (if you care about OCSP). Again, no need to hack it and invent new security protocol. Everything you need is already there.
Lytro Camera Lets You Pick What's Blurry And What's Not
It is for the most part an unfortunate fact that regulators are a stifler of innovation. What has their recent push for SOPA just taught us? If they want to regulate it to truly protect people that is one thing. For example, children need to be protected from predators who would exploit them on the Internet. However,when regulators attempt to regulate out of greed (because their pockets are being laced by Hollywood or some other interest group) they ruin things for everybody.
"overstated", that is.

Banyak penderita insomnia tergantung pada obat tidur dan zat penenang lainnya untuk bisa beristirahat. Semua obat sedatif memiliki potensi untuk menyebabkan ketergantungan psikologis berupa anggapan bahwa mereka tidak dapat tidur tanpa obat tersebut.

Selain faktor depresi, insomnia bisa juga akibat pengaruh minuman keras atau minuman yang banyak mengandung kafein, penggunaan obat tidur atau penenang dalam waktu lama, obat penurun tekanan darah tinggi golongan beta-blocker (seperti atenadol, madolol, dan propanodol), dan bisa juga disebabkan oleh adanya suatu penyakit atau akibat adanya permasalahan psikologis.

The OCSP (certificate revocation check) doesn't have to be done on every SSL setup - the results can be cached for a while.

What is most strange about this article is the assumption that the backend connectivity is coupled to UI interactivity. That is the single worst thing you can do in a mobile app. They should be decoupled as much as possible. In general the user shouldn't even be able to figure out or care that there is latency in the underlying networking.

Of course the one time is when they search for something, but local caching and prediction plus heuristics should help a lot of the time for that. (Of the billions of items on the server, the user is only going to access a tiny subset.)

For the developer types this is a nice presentation (with a nervous presenter?) showing best practises for writing a REST Android app. Pretty much all of the principles apply to iOS and other mobile platforms too where you decouple the user interface from the underlying networking.

I'm in the Seattle area. Suppose I need to go to Los Angeles. Let's consider the alternatives:

1. Fly. There are a plethora of flights on numerous airlines. I've got choices of extras (such as wifi in on the plane), whether I want to be treated like cattle or like dogs, how many stops, what kind of plane.

2. Amtrak. This is going to be the Coast Starlight, so really all you have to pick is your departure time, and what kind of seating you want.

3. Car. If it's winter need to check the weather forecast to see if you are going to need chains. Other than that, all you really have to decide is when to leave and whether you want to take I5 or go for the more scenic route down the 101.

4. Bus. Take the train. The train is about 15% slower, but the accommodations are better, and it costs less.

Of these, flying is the only one where I need help to reasonably arrange things. I can book the train in a few minutes on the Amtrak site. For the car all I need to do is toss my junk in the car, put the destination into the TomTom, and go. If I do decide on the bus for some unfathomable reason, it's a few minutes on the Greyhound site to book my trip.

Actually, people still say that sociology, and other social "sciences" are not science. You're assuming that the scientific method is science, but its more than that. Many modern fields of endeavor call themselves sciences mostly because of the success of science. They only superficially emulate science. This includes Computer Science, which is really mathematics and engineering.

Major cities probably all have them, but the US has a large number of smaller non-hub airports that feed into the hubs, and I know that at least some don't have them. In fact, I've only experienced them once, at SFO. When traveling TRI -> ATL -> LHR and returning via Detroit this summer, I experienced none.

So if you don't mind spending an extra $150 per trip and running from the far ends of the airport where the feeders dock, you can still avoid the them, at least for now..

Wow, i don't think you have framework issue i think you have more of a architecture design issue.

Not sure why you can break you app into smaller parts? compartmentalize your design, that way you solve a lot of problems.

Regarding the part where you say "document everything". I'm assuming you come from a mid-sized company standpoint where there is more than 1 person working on the app. I might be wrong but I think documenting everything from the start is counterproductive.

Well, that was dull, and the reviewer didn't seem to know much about Windows (e.g. "only show Desktop on screen 1/2").
I also imagine that Louis C.Ks audience is of a particular demographic where this may work (think relatively Internet savvy & intelligent , middle class 21-40 year old white people with disposable income).

Although there are annual licences sold within this range (nearly all of our contracts are). Companies grok SaaS, whereas they probably wouldn'y have in 2004.

I've heard Mathematica praised before, but not in precisely those terms - I was under the impression it was more a DSL for mathematics. Can you give a few examples of things it can do that put it that far along the power curve relative to Python/Ruby?
Feynman is talking there about things which call themselves science but do not actually correctly follow the scientific method. The distinction between "the scientific method" and "science" is meaningless, and the claim that CS does not qualify as a science because it only deals with something manmade is little more than elitism.
I thought it was refering to Southeast Asia in general. In countries like Indonesia or Myanmar the average pay of CEOs of small companies might be quite low, especially if non-software ventures are included.

Another possibility is that's the monthly salary. I lived in Asia for many years and people's salary was typically quoted by month, not by year.

Can you clarify your meaning here? I fail to see how sequestering n random server components inside a vm, or vms, is more statefull than doing the same on your workstation.

I was looking for something like this today, but I'm not sure you're quite there. What I want is to be able to import all my RSS feeds (you should be doing that already), and have them cross-referenced/weighted with whats hot on my Reddit/Facebook/G+/Twitter feeds, and also recommend new stuff to me. Also, never show me anything twice.

Actually -- what makes your site different that an RSS reader (besides looking nice)?
So you have 64-bit integer keys and 64-bit integer values, and you need to store these key-value pairs such that you get good lookups from key to list of values and from value to list of keys?

How often are you updating? What is reading from this data structure? What's the query structure?

If you're adding lots of records often, I'd go for a B+tree. There's also a trie (and a B-trie), if your keys share lots of common prefixes.

If you are making consecutive queries, then you'd do well to take advantage of what pages are in L1 and L2 cache, but if you're randomly picking things, that's less important.

You need to consider what threat you are defending against.

Before credit cards were popular, it was common for aircraft passengers to be armed with handguns and carrying a lot of cash -- yet there were few incidents. Think about that.

An organization planning an operation against any nation-state relays on secrecy and anonymity to function, period. That is what random screenings will help combat.

The current TSA regime is really trying to stop crazy people. I believe there is some documentation to establish that they are somewhat successful at that too. The problem with the TSA approach is that they are too big to be competent at what they do, and the near universal contempt that they are held in hurts that mission -- even deranged people hunk the TSA is dumb.
I'm sure bittorrent & private trackers is better for the discerning pirate, however napster was far more accessible.

You simply typed in what you wanted, waited for the search to finish and clicked to download rather than found an indexing site, selected a torrent based on "seeds" and "peers" and then worried about things like magnet links.

Many people who are not tech savvy and want to pirate either get their friends to do it for them or are still using kazaa and friends.

Does anyone know of a good alternative to ab or httperf for load testing high-performance HTTP servers? With httperf I can't see to coax more than ~25,000 requests/sec out of my framework built on Jetty, but ab can easily do > 45,000 req/s. Both seem to be limited by the load generator, not the server.
<3 both of them. Bootstrap made me 2x productive at front end stuff.
/agree. It doesn't cost anything to _not_ be an asshole.
we're a type s corp, so it's a flow-through entity. at the end of the year we distributed remaining profits based upon equal ownership (things have changed as we've grown). he worked off commission only to begin with and i drew a small salary once we had revenue.

but...i was in college and my salary requirements were low. the sales guy? my dad who had another job at the time (sales at: apple, sun microsystems, hitachi datasystems, etc).

i think that's not a bad bootstrapping model though. if you're both employed, you can both take commission and built it part time until you can jump ship and do it full time.

but the question i hear you saying is - "where am i gonna find a sales guy?" you and i are techies at heart and probably have mostly techie (non sales type) friends.

like everything else, sales isn't a great mystery but it's good to find an experienced person. couple ways to find people, and i had a recruiter recently give me some advice that i'll pass on to you.

linkedin is the new recruitment tool. start looking for some sales guys that already work for companies that have the kind of sales guys you want, and get a hold of them (not sure if you need a premium linkedin for that or not). there's also professional networking events around, but i find that those tend to be about measure whose dick is bigger versus making meaningful relationships.

which city are you in? look up startup networking stuff. i hear all the time about people who want to find a technical co-founder. annoyingly large amounts. and on projects i usually wouldn't invest any time in.
None of those things just automatically happen once a project is open sourced. The project has to be respected, known about, and generally desired. And if you've got those things, then you will probably be successful with your project, whether it's open source or not.

If you have a choice between seeing a movie today for $x or waiting a couple of years and seeing it for free and legally, what would you take?

The legal part is important , because there would be a good business model in simply taking all of the copyright expired works and creating a download/streaming website for it all and charging basically for the bandwidth and easy UI, not to mention that every TV manufacturer would want to integrate this.

That would be a massive library of stuff, far more than you could watch or listen to in your lifetime, would you really be worried about seeing the newest blockbuster the day it came out?
Think about it. A loss of 3 million subscribers at $15/mo is a loss of $45,000,000 in revenue over the course of 12 months.
Simple, everything would become SaaS and while it would not technically be copyright; all the code would be holed up in a maximum security datacentre somewhere.

The Box: How The Shipping Container Made The World Smaller And The World Economy Bigger - Marc Levinson.

There are so many facets to this book. It's the story of Malcom McLean's drive to make containerisation a reality. It's a history of the global economy since WWII. It goes into detail about labour relations on the docks and about how changes in shipping change the fortunes of cities.

One stand out chapter details the logistics of getting military materiel into Vietnam before and after containerisation and then McLean's idea that there was no point bringing all those empty boxes back - might as well stop off at Japan and pick up some transistor radios.

This book is well worth your time.
Only one of those things is a good thing.
US shuts down Canadian gambling site with Verisign's help
sure. first of all, if you're a cs major (like me) it's doubtful that you'll have the right domain knowledge.

in my case, my father and family friend approached me and asked if i could build something. our co-founder said "all the software in this (hr technology) industry sucked". can i build xyz? over a long period of time, i did.

so my general trick would be - find people who are in completely opposite industries as you are right now. doing totally different, non-technical work. often times they're consultants that are reselling other companies products. and they know - since they've been implementing products and speaking to customers on a daily basis - where the customer pain points are.

hope that helps. it only happened for me once, so it's hard to replicate, but i hope you get the chance.

Thing was I didn't have a computer capable of running Win95 at the time, and even then convincing my parents to drop $100 on that plus the requisite hardware upgrade was pretty tricky.

Then this and that happened, we got the new computer with 95, and then upgraded it to 98. Ah, those were the days :)
