And surely you can understand why I'd want to keep my real account private, given porn's reputation?
Well yes, but then, you're the one who's screwed, through no fault of your own, and have fun talking to the bank getting them to reverse those fees.

This is not a hypothetical scenario - here's one recent event: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Warhammer-Online-MMORPG,101...
Some of us use laptops and need as much storage in them as possible.
That's not a solution. That's a disgrace.
Alan Kay’s observation is that any time a field grows faster than education, it becomes a pop culture. The “problem” with PL is exactly that: The use of programming languages grows faster than education about programming languages, so it’s a pop culture. It’s a lot like music, really. Is there research into music? Absolutely. Is there innovation in music coming out of universities? Absolutely. Does this have any effect on the top ten iTunes singles? Nope, or at least, not directly.

Music (even “classical” music) is a pop culture, just like programming. Music is also a science with a body of knowledge and well-formed theories. But it’s a pop culture. Just like programming languages.
Pair Programming Considered Harmful?
Sure.

PHP's "deep thought" was that in the context of building dynamic web pages, perhaps it made sense to embed a scripting language into HTML itself -- instead of calling out to an external program. There's an example of the initial idea being responsible for much of PHP's enduring success.

And here's an anecdote that explains how it was (lack of) readability in significant indentation that led to Python getting its colon:

> In 1978, in a design session in a mansion in Jabłonna (Poland),
> Robert Dewar, Peter King, Jack Schwartz and Lambert were
> comparing various alternative proposed syntaxes for B, by
> comparing (buggy) bubble sort implementations written down in
> each alternative. Since they couldn't agree, Robert Dewar's wife
> was called from her room and asked for her opinion, like a

> she remarked: "You mean, in the line where it says: 'FOR i ... ',
> that it has to be done for the lines that follow; not just for
> that line?!" And here the scientists realized that the

> at the end of that line.

I'm putting my savings under my mattress if they try to charge me more than $10/month for a checking account.

The fact that they charge anything at all seems ludicrous to me. Particularly when I don't use it for months at a time.

Python class-level variables are tricky
There's a longitudinal problem as well, in that most of the interesting aspects of productivity improvements come over longer time scales, with large projects and people who have already gotten up to speed on them. Those are extremely difficult/expensive to do controlled studies with. Medicine does them, but 5-year studies in medicine are quite expensive, logistically complex, and have a lot of institutional support because it's considered so important to run them. In HCI, user studies are typically of a shorter length, like A/B-testing one UI paradigm versus another in 30-minute user sessions. Applied to PLs, it's feasible to do user studies looking at learning curves, but much less feasible to answer how Haskell compares to C++ on a large project. Instead, like in economics, the best you can do often ends up being to look for "natural experiments" where almost-comparable things happened in different languages, and try to compare them.

A few software-engineering researchers have told me that that's one major reason that recent "tools" type SE-research happens outside academia: if someone in academia had invented git, it's not clear how they would design a user study to evaluate it, especially within the constraints of, say, a PhD thesis timescale/budget. The typical/simple study design is you recruit N participants, randomly assign N/2 to your tool and N/2 to the control tool, have them perform a task, and then try to show with p<0.05 that the group using your tool did better than control. But in this case, the "perform a task" step has to be non-trivial, and it tends not to be feasible to recruit people to participate in a random study that involves them developing serious software over several years, which would be the equivalent of the kinds of randomized studies that are done with medical devices.

I don't actually find the case-study-based approach particularly bad. Start from cases that are awkward or error-prone to handle in a language (either constructed or derived from data about real-world errors), and propose a solution that captures the underlying computation more directly, or in a more checkable way, etc. There are other areas that make progress in that manner; for example, symbolic logic develops with a case-study and counter-example-driven methodology, where someone will propose a case that either can't be represented in Logic X, or at least can't easily be represented, or maybe produces incorrect inferences when encoded in the obvious way, and this will drive development of a Logic X'.
Yes - they used Vanilla Forums (http://vanillaforums.org/)
I personally don't feel that this is a reason for concern (very very small chance but yes it is possible). But there is a faster way anyway, cutting out web server not responding etc.

So in any case if you wanted to lessen that chance you could query any public nameserver, assuming you can trust that nameserver.

In a command window, using nslookup as an example, the process would be (using google public dns server but you can use anything that's the point):

nslookup

> server 8.8.8.8

Default server: 8.8.8.8

Address: 8.8.8.8#53

> skymarshal.com

Server:	8.8.8.8

Address:	8.8.8.8#53

Non-authoritative answer:

Name:	skymarshal.com

Address: 208.91.197.26 (comment: name taken!)

> skymarshalxyz.com

Server:	8.8.8.8

Address:	8.8.8.8#53

server can't find skymarshalxyz.com: NXDOMAIN

> www.skymarkshalxyz.com (I made this up)

Server:	8.8.8.8

Address:	8.8.8.8#53

server can't find www.skymarkshalxyz.com: NXDOMAIN

> exit

"can't find" - name might be available - we have determined it's not resolving. Could be a dns issue of course but it's a good first step.

Doing with a browser can give you MORE of a false positive. DNS could respond with an address but the site could be down. Of course getting no response to DNS doesn't ALWAYS mean the domain is available but it's generally fairly accurate. At that point you would do a whois to confirm.

You can write a shell script of course to automate this from the command line.

You're right that a framework that should provide mobile compatible animations should have a website that is itself mobile-friendly.

However the page itself doesn't seem to use any of the frameworks it is promoting, and doesn't seem to do a lot of demonstrating as of yet. The full site is apparently coming soon though...
You wouldn't say, "a two armed person pulled a knife on me!" because two arms is the norm, outside of, perhaps, prosthetic clinics. So, I assume that "black" and "girl" are perceived as exceptional enough by the speaker to warrant mention.

Personally, I'm more concerned with the tone and context. My extended family insists they aren't racist, despite spitting out the word 'black' as if it were stinging their tongue. Also, they like to casually mentioning how much they dislike the "beady yellow eyes" of Indians (maybe), and integrate the n-word regularly into their humor.
Point being, no amount of money can replace time spent off work with your family. What are you going to do, pay your spouse and children as an alternative to actually eating dinner with them? Only replacement time can make up for that sacrifice.
How To Get More Youtube Subscribers
So you’ve started your very own Youtube channel filled with videos and you’re ready to share them with the world. However, you find it difficult to grow a following. No matter what your into (online marketing, entertainment, news, etc) You need subscribers for your channel or it has no value. Luckily, there are easy ways to effectively get more followers on Youtube that you probably haven’t tried, and this article has a list of them

An SSD for your OS and a larger HD for storage aren't mutually exclusive.
There is a big difference between using someone's photo without their permission in the work you are creating versus publicly bookmarking their photo.

And you can do either of those methods via deep-linking or copying. Even if use A doesn't copy it's still wrong. But I don't think many people will argue that use B is wrong if it doesn't copy.

You can always go back to school. Taking some time out on a startup where you're trusted and valued is rarely a bad move.

You should play the school card as a negotiating point, though. I'm usually very upfront in negotiations and would simply say "Look, I've got a lot of pressure to finish school. I totally believe in this company and am willing to put school off in order to join full-time, but you need to come up with a compensation package that makes that worth my while. My priority is on long-term compensation so I'm fine with a super-low hourly wage of $15 per hour in exchange for equity. What can you offer me?"

As I was reading through this, I couldn't help feel that I would want all of these things on my home laptop/desktop. These are nice features for a computer that gets used for an hour or two, once a day, for personal reasons.

I'm not bashing on Apple (believe me, that's not my intention). Apple is in the consumer market. Due to their success and the "cool" factor, they're being thrown into the enterprise or productivity market without really understanding it. Apple's culture doesn't care if changing something makes it harder to edit a 150 page Keynote presentation, because the customers Apple wants aren't going to be making more than a 10 page Keynote, maybe for a class.

Just because OSX is Unix doesn't mean they want the Unix crowd. Just because it all works well and is relatively secure doesn't mean they want the business crowd. I don't think they're intentionally shutting out the productivity market but rather that it never crosses their minds when they're deep in something cool and new.

Apple wants to be in your home, playing your iTunes to every device you own. Apple wants to be in your startup <2years old. Enterprise is hard, and is sure as hell isn't cool. Yet power users and productivity-minded folks seem to blame Apple for not doing well in a market Apple doesn't want.
I find it a bit amusing that someone on this site, where so much of the content is about optimization and business models, is acting so morally offended by the concept of price differentiation.

Most of the money from online purchases go to the label.
The only person who knows enough info to make this decision is you; as a university student myself, I understand your dilemma.

I will say that the fact that you're only making $9/hour at a company that's supposedly about to go big is a huge red flag. If you've made as many contributions as you say you have, then there's something very wrong. Either you have failed to negotiate fair compensation for yourself, or the company is banking that you will continue to break your back for the chance to go big.

The last time I made $9/hour was hauling bags of salt at a retail warehouse selling pools. If I were you, I'd go back to school. $9/hour is not only unsustainable, but a serious red flag regarding how the company views their relationship with you.

Seriously?

As I sit here, I have over 4TB of external storage hooked up to my MacBook Pro already, another 2TB standing by, and a few TB more available over my gigabit LAN, but when I'm not at my desk, where exactly do you think all that storage is? Floating weightlessly beside my head ready to jump into action at a moment's notice?

You want me to have to pull out and hook up an external drive in Starbucks or a conference room or wherever?

What do you want me to do when I don't have that option, and instead have to wait around for that critical video, or virtual machine, or whatever, to copy off my external HDD onto my tiny, overpriced internal SSD on which it may not even fit? Even just managing the placement of files and keeping track of which versions are current or not is a pain in the ass, but what do you want me to do when I have 30 seconds to copy 40GB?

Think real world, not some bizarre happyland where those ports on the side of your laptop mean you can do anything with it anywhere.
On the one hand, yes in technical terms it is republishing. On the other hand, they could deep-link the photo.

The intent is to cache the photo. Pinterest could disable caching and still work.

But a standard hollywood movie is not already available online to be linked to. If you upload it you become primary hosting, not a caching layer.

This seems to be the case with lots of software now. e.g., I can't run Thunderbird 3 on a machine without SSD.
Makes me think it may be time for a career change if this is what the industry is coming to.
I do agree with you. Hard drives are slow and ancient technology.

However, I do agree with the other people commenting. SSDs shouldn't be a requirement for a desktop. An OS can have all the fancy features in the world, but there shouldn't be any reason for a computer to use all your resources for an OS-level operation. I've been waiting for the day when a OS can boot itself then trickle in the rest of the startup features in a way to minimize the impact on performance. Windows does a lot of maintenance in the background when you're not using it, causing a lot of people to complain that "Windows is using 4GB of RAM just for itself!" But when another program requests that memory or that CPU time, Windows gives it up and delays whatever it was doing. Why can't this be universal, and why can't it apply to booting the OS as well?
Engineer to manager
I'm kind of surprised by all of the nay-saying. I'm sure a fair number of my TODO or FIXME comments involve things that are, in fact, tractable. To check myself, I just grepped through some in-development code, and the following TODOs sure seem approachable:

TODO: Add "busy" indicator while waiting.
TODO: Ensure that :foo_url and :bar_url parse.
TODO: Assemble absolute URL based on :foo_url if :bar_url is relative.
TODO: Verify that this is one of the user's foos.
TODO: Use protocol relative address in production.
TODO: Dynamically set hostname based on environment.
TODO: Document these; especially their options!

I mean, sure, I should fix them. And I will. But I haven't gotten around to it yet.
It would have been nicer still if they had helped to patch the holes in WebKit after showing their demo.

I also feel that Apple is stepping away from power users more and more. Most of the new features in Lion make it more consumer friendly, easy to use, like all the other iProducts.

As a poweruser i dont like this. I dont like how Lion breaks Dual Monitor usage with apps in fullscreen, i dont like how a quad core MBP is nearly unusable due to insane noise and heat when utilized with more than just webbrowsing and listening to itunes and a couple of other small anoyances like the whole merging of iOS back into OSX and the more and more closed eco system.
However, if you want to be able to develop software for this interesting market and those consumers, you have to use their products.
Overall Apple still has the best experience but its heading in a very consumer/casual user oriented direction.
Looks nice but I tend to read comments and not the page/story linked to when am on a mobile device reading the site.

Because they aren't.
Maybe we need a standard on what TODO or FIXME is meant for. Personally (as a non-professional coder) I put TODOs out there to remind myself or someone else what I have planned for the future. TODO contains everything that I will do very soon but haven't gotten around to doing yet.

Has Apple not mastered the oh so tricky technology of "two harddrives inside of one computer" then?
It would seem that, even though these languages weren't made from soup to nuts in academia, they mostly incorporated ideas therefrom; for instance, Ruby and (eventually) Python got closures that had been pioneered by Scheme. There's still plenty of valuable work to be done trying out ideas that will eventually be incorporated and popularized elsewhere.

And of course, there are still languages like Haskell that have carved out a nice niche, despite their recent vintage and academic roots.
No I didn't. I authorized a charge of $14.99/month, spending in your own words "money I had".
Very cool. We've just started implementing OLAP cube type caching using sorted sets in Redis and the speed gains are impressive. Checking this out now.
So many of the articles are about business model optimization because it's not the primary nature of hackers - they need to be reminded. The major difference is that the businesses here are new and the market and product are uncertain (inherently complex); Internet access, by definition, is a solved commodity.
No, I can't. For the moment, I need that optical drive rather badly. In the future, I won't even have the option, as Apple is highly likely to eliminate it entirely in the next few iterations.
Save us Washington! Save us!

But they are asking Washington to NOT do anything. This isn't a bailout.
Articles like this always miss the point. You're not Apple's audience. You sound like you need to get a Linux box. Apple is all about a unified entertainment experienced (check), beautiful design (check), and making things simple for the user (check check double check). Programmers aren't users. They're programmers. While we sit here and bitch over the choices in Lion which I myself also hate to a degree we forget that almost every other computer user on earth is lucky if they can even find the power button. Hang out with techies long enough and you start to believe every user is just like you. You're a minority, pal. Apple isn't going downhill but you may have outgrown them. I don't like Lion either but I can't say it's Apple's big mistake, I know better.
This is a good idea. You have to speak with them and let them know about your troubles. Otherwise you get more and more dissatisfied and more tension might built up.
