I complete agree with your premise, in what hackers need to support them in a traditional, SF/NYC-style, VC-backed sense, but I disagree with your solution.

The solution isn't to run people through the gauntlet just because you had to run through it. That's the same sort of thing that causes open-source projects to run people out of town because they asked a question wrong.

In Austin, I studied the design and tech community and the problems that both groups have were essentially the same: a comprehensive lack of professional support in all areas. People tend to only hang out with their friends and their coworkers. They don't meet people from other companies. Those companies don't support the local community and don't work together with other companies to share resources and solve problems. There's no community. There's just a bunch of companies functioning as a silo, each with one or two employees who venture out when there's a free beer or a friend at a meetup.

The answer isn't to shake someone until they realize some sort of truth. It's to build that community, the one you don't have right now to support you, for someone else. It's to provide help and be a mentor and give guidance. It's to do the fairy godmother act, the one you no-one did for you, for someone else, and as part of that, to teach people that this is how good, responsible people and companies behave.

What you want is to change the culture. You want to start raising companies that look to all of the local communities and novice developers and talk about the work they're doing and buying them beers and offering them training. It's about building a comprehensive local talent pool through supporting meetups and offering apprenticeships -- not unpaid internships, not regular internships, actual apprenticeships -- so you never lack for qualified candidates in the good times and are always thought well of in the lean times.

It's about reaching out to other companies who use the same technologies and tools as you do and sharing resources, ensuring that future employees of both places have safety nets with each other, and that you never have to reinvent the wheel because you know all of the practices of everyone else using that same tool.

It's about not thinking in terms of zero-sum games and hierarchical advancement. A rising tide lifts all boats, and the money and the power and the experience will come if there's a reason for hackers to show up: a community.

You seem to be missing the point - Blizzard is running out of steam, and the layoffs reflect this fact. Google has an insane number of people who are more or less building castles in the sky, and it essentially never occurs to anyone that there will be mass layoffs. It is hard to get fired. Google does this because they have the $$$ and are wildly imperialistic.

This means Blizzard management is thinking that they're running out of ideas for developing new areas.

This is the beginning of the end for Blizzard, which is fine with me - WoW is basically electronic crack as far as I'm concerned. I know that's narrow, but they're public enemy #1 in terms of habit-forming online behavior.

This is the essence of lifestyle design. Finding the optimal balance between income, free time and mobility. (For me, free time is the most important one by far).

I have a pet theory: after a certain point, salary increases become a proxy for "what is my status in society?". If you don't give a shit about that, or derive your status from something completely different, the need to pursue money in a frantic manner goes away.

6 Important Things Every IT Person Should Know
Most startups also don't have complicated data models or a high enough traffic to justify having a DBA and commit premature optimization by denormalizing data right off the bat to speed up retrieval in your NoSQL DB.

As many have said before, NoSQL is a premature optimization in that all it does is to remove some restrictions in your technology stack to let you move come complexity such as data validation and the ability to easily aggregate data up the stack.

The need for NoSQL is a rich man's problem. When you organize your data like that using the article's techniques, you are going to have to write a lot of very odd looking code and tightly coupled code to do even some basic reporting. E.g when you try to query from the many-to-one direction.

If you are following the Lean Startup methodology at all, you should be aware that being able to measure things is crucial early on when you are trying to reach a business goal. Writing bunch of crazy for loops and map reduce stuff in the application layer isn't exactly easy to write, look at or maintain.
This is not an average Bitcoin "robbery" either.
Yes, and there's one more thing. Instead of making the other person responsible for your lack of understanding, which we all have done at some point, it's better to let them know that you don't understand their approach and let them explain better. Actually about half of the times their idea might be good, but they don't know how to explain it or maybe you can't grasp the whole thing because of a lack of context.

You know, explaining an idea to somebody, from scratch, it's the better way to develop it. If it's stupid they will realize. If it's good they'll get enthusiastic.

In a previous comment I mentioned that this is the tactic that my manager uses, and it works wonderfully: let people talk from the beginning and ask questions later.

Of course, if you end up disagreeing, even though if their idea is good, they'll like that you let them explain and took time to consider
Notice how at the bottom of the article it says this move is very surprising 'in this day in age.' Is that just a cliche or was it that people really were more generous in these situations in years gone by?

I telecommute for a company that uses Skype for everything - we have a company-wide group chat, and separate group chats for developers, marketing, etc. This makes it easy to throw out a quick question or see who's online at any given moment.

"muscle memory" helps here. People only need to refer to the scrap of paper for the first couple of weeks of entering a password.

Then that scrap can be securely stored somewhere else. (eg: In your "in case of death" box if you want people to have access when you die.)
article says they are about to launch a tv show
That's all you can eat, though. I don't have to worry about emptying out DVRs, or programming it in, or (if I'm not a DVR subscriber) waiting for it to air and sitting through an absolute assault of commercials.

Additionally, I simply refuse to watch a PPV movie for $5.00 per on top of paying $50/mo for cable. Most of the channels are absolute garbage (yes, I'm looking at you, "reality" TV) or air the programs I actually want to watch so rarely that I end up not watching them at all.

Netflix is simple: Find/browse movie, check user ratings and synopsis, click play. That's Apple-level magic, and it's worth paying a premium, even if it means paying near what I did with cable.

"Is there a way to secure a bitcoin wallet on a machine someone else has root access to (either your datacenter's staff with physical access, or the people with hypervisor access to the hardware your vm is running on)?"

Probably not, _maybe_ trusted computing could help[1]. But it might secure enough if you had a special piece of hardware that stored the bitcoin-key and did all the signing operations. I believe things like these exists for Certifications and other signing-keys. I doubt VeriSign stores their root certificates on just-another-box :)

[1] In theory, TC could "anchor" your data to the hardware chip on the motherboard, and breaking it would require physical tampering.

Except that you can't. 5k is above 'discretionary spending' for a drone, but not worth it to convene meetings with upper management, fly in sales people, do an extensive demo/feasibility study, etc. Spolsky wrote a post about it years ago, and I generally found it's true. There is a gap between 'cheap' and 'expensive' for which it's hard to justify the sales expenses. While doing 1M deal is excruciatingly painful, it's not 200 times more painful than doing 5k deals, so in the end I prefer the one 1M.

As someone who is ADHD (though not sure to what extent i.e. mild vs severe), I completed my Computer Science degree and was less determined than you were. In that respect, you will be fine. Everyone goes through this and feels overwhelmed by the workload, but you will make it through. I developed non-medicated ways to cope (e.g. will make sure I have a lot of alone time for my brain to recharge, put EVERYTHING on a to do list right when I think about it so I don't forget, do small tasks immediately also so you don't forget, etc). You will find a way that works for you in time, so don't worry about that. Overall, I found that my interest in CS was overshadowed by other interests given what is probably a shared tendency to come up with lots of ideas, be creative, etc. I feel like there is a lot of pressure for people capable of completing engineering coursework to study engineering and take engineering jobs (especially since coding is hot right now), but I encourage you to really take a look at what your strengths are and what you love to do. Maybe you'll find that it's CS, but if it's not that's okay too. College is primarily a time to learn about yourself and what works for you. It may seem tough in the short run, but you'll make it through a stronger person. Good luck!

Good points. I guess it really depends what one considers immutable and mutable... Is an immutable list/tuple that contains mutable structures, a mutable or immutable object?

The second issue, happens everytime you try to put a mutable object into a hashtable. I get bit by this issue quite often in python. In my opinion, there should be a default toMutable method that would make mutable objects immutable, and the map would then store the immutable version. That way, you could store e.g. Python lists in dicts, and have them compared by equality.

One of the hacked exchanges said they'd reimburse their clients, so I guess they'll buy roughly the amount that was stolen.
It’s great advice. When somebody is talking, people are very rarely listening. They’re waiting to speak or preparing their next argument. By doing that, you don’t hear what the other person is saying and more often than not misinterpret what they are saying.

It’s a skill I’m still learning and it’s a combination of patience, humility (I’m not always right) and a desire to learn (other people will know more and have better ideas than me).

"every time you call a library or do IO you have to manually deal with conversions.." (from the blog post)

This is certainly not true for libraries; Only done that to workaround faults in other "systems"[1].

For IO, you don't have to "manually deal with conversion". But you do have to, if you want to do it correctly, tell it what encodings the files you're going to read are. But you do this once for all IO.

There's a reason for this, and it has nothing to do with the language: You can't detect encodings. So, you either standardize on one encoding to rule them all or supply it when doing IO. To be honest, I seldom do it the "correct" way, and it works fine most of the time.

[1] E.g., the DB table had one encoding, but the data was actually stored using another one.

Edit: Just for the record, dealing with this can be a pain in Perl. Keeping things backwards-compatible means everything is not as streamlined as it could be. But at least it works (I'm looking at you PHP ;)
So you are saying that you can not use cloud hosting for anything serious? Even if they don't keep cash around, most web apps might lose a lot of value by being hacked. user data stolen, reputation lost and so on. So according to you, the cloud is only for worthless toy projects.
I concur that diet and general physical well-being, as well as social interactions, do indeed matter very much, and apparently heavily influence in often not obvious ways our mood and outlook.
Speaking as a straight male:

Surround yourself with beautiful women; it's hard to get sad around beautiful women. I'm no stranger to the darkness, and I know that in some environments, I feel everyday, just as you do.

Force a change, go somewhere else. I found SV to be beautiful, but how long can you really stay in a male-dominated atmosphere, and still stay sane/happy? I know this sounds really shallow, but pause for a moment and think about it. Regardless of what's logical, sometimes you need to surrender to your base instincts - especially when you're dealing with illogical, irrational emotions.
A few ways. One way is that once employees receive a bonus, they will probably eventually register it as compensation. Then they will expect it. Then you there will be future employees that might expect it or feel bad that they missed it. etc etc

Especially the tip about Immediate window (CTRL + D,CTRL + I) is pure gold. You can access all the commands (i.e. everything that can have a keyboard shortcut, it has Intellisense (after first letter) and you can define aliases:

then pressing >p will open the attaching dialog

With the CTRL + , (comma) for the navigation window these are some really cool features I didn't know VS2010 had. And I only got to know about them because of VS2011 launch getting closer

I really can't stand AppleInsider. Their articles are constantly written this way. What does Oracle's patent suit against Android or the Dart VM have to do at all with Apple's improvements to their JavaScript engine?

>Google's efforts to leverage Chrome to push its own preferred technologies rather than open standards has also occured with its own WebM video codec (as opposed to H.264) and a prioritization of Adobe's Flash (over HTML5) for delivering video and interactivity, particularly as a differentiating feature of its Android mobile platform.

I seriously don't even know what to say to any of that, especially the Flash bit. I can't tell if I should be attributing this to malice or stupidity. I think I've flagged two things ever, and this will be the third.
