Well it seems like a great idea, yes, but in all reality it may cause some serious problems. What exactly does easily enable root mean? Will it essentially be a one click root built into the OS? Personally, for my Nexus, it takes about 2 minutes to root. All that has to be done is open the command pront/terminal and type a few words. I actually just had to reroot after flashing the 4.0.4 update.zip. I'm actually not too sure this is a great idea.

"Many of you may not give it a second glance, but among all the furor and concern about permissions requested by market apps and privacy, all Custom ROMs (CyanogenMod included) ship with one major security risk — root!"

Most anyone who is willing to root and ROM will be savvy enough to know how to avoid security issues and things like malware in non-market apps. While I believe this is a good idea I am not sure how easily it can be implemented.

Knowing the CM team is pretty good gives me high hopes about this, but I am just curious how they plan on allowing everyone to root easily from within the OS.

Edit: Actually what they are doing makes sense. You don't run Linux as root all day. I am just curious as to how they will easily allow root to be turned on and off.

Well, that is the end of that company. I was involved in a very successful company that was bought by EMC (infra) and I can assure you that as soon as they bought it they forced out the founders, screwed up the support offering, stymied development efforts with layers upon layers of beurocracy (over 9 levels from the top to the bottom in the hrirachu chart - not including "dotted lines"), political appointees over solid engineering decisions and a market based approach. It wasn't just Infra, they did the same thing for nLayers, Smarts, Voyence and a raft of other companies they purchased. Morale was awful and sales didn't go up - they either stalled or went down!
In my case, running my consultancy (call it freelancing if you like). But the work can pretty much be done from anywhere that has reliable connectivity, though this is a privilege whose existence I have hitherto ignored.

The Electric-Car Movement Enters A Quiet, Crucial Phase
What kind of mind game is this comic playing on me (or am I just doing it to myself)?

Reading the following part itself was an epiphany moment:

"...having one epiphany after another, always thinking you've finally figured out whats holding you back and how you can be productive and creative..."

Because I saw myself in that. I thought "Holy crap that's exactly...that's...so true...that's me! That's the problem!"

Then I thought "Damn it, the problem is that exact problem...Right now is just another one of those epiphanies. I need to stop this."

Which led to the thought "But how would I have become aware and known that was the problem if I hadn't had this epiphany?"

So the ultimate question I have for myself is: "Will this epiphany be any different? Maybe it actually can snap you out of the cycle."

So to ensure it isn't just another useless epiphany, I will tape this quote from the comic to my wall: "That cycle of mediocrity isn't due to some obstacle. Its who you are."

Thank you XKCD. You've woken me up.

In my mind, Matlab's (Octave's) array based programming makes sense. This? This does nothing that I expected it to do!

replicate seems to pretty randomly takes a function. Is that an R thing? I think what confuses me most is that there is nothing about this syntax that tells me that "cumprod (rnorm (1000, 1, 0.03))" hasn't already been evaluated! I could not, for the life of me, figure out why replicate didn't just create 100 exact copies. For example, why does replicate(...) evaluate, but the internals don't? This is driving me crazy!
I use Tracker and find it to be a major pain. It's close enough to the tool that I actually need that it's useful, but then it gets opinionated and makes certain things impossible.

I think you have chosen your words poorly because the above reads like you are calling an entire ethnicity disabled.
I disagree with your nitpick: "ingenious" merely means clever, and is much fainter praise than "genius". You probably think "genius" can only be used as a noun since it's use as an adjective is fairly recent (a decade, maybe?). If you insist on a "real" adjective, probably "brilliant" is a better fit.
Honest question: How many Cyanogenmod users don't want their device to be rooted?

Though my friends are anything but representative, I don't know a single one, and I can't imagine anyone who would go through the process of rooting/unlocking/flashing, and then specifically want an unrooted device in the end.

Agree with Chris. Also, how do you define overnight success? Huge traction in first few months? Significant revenues in first year? Or something else? If its building wildly profitable company then I don't think anyone (at least Internet companies) can claim they had overnight success.

My biggest problem with Daisey? The fact that the only thing he gains from his fabrications is self-aggrandizement.

So many of the things he claims to have seen aren't in essence untrue: hexane poisoning did happen, he just didn't meet (and tell a true story) about how. Underage workers do exist, but I think it is less than clear whether Daisy met any of them. Terrible abuses resulting in lasting, terrible physical damage (or death) clearly are occurring, but Daisey isn't the one uncovering them, he isn't the heroic reporter interviewing the victims to reveal their plight.

When Daisey defends his work, he's really defending himself as the champion of the oppressed. This, I think, is really about his ego, not about the plight of any abused Chinese worker.

As someone who left Dublin for SF recently:

1. Actually, Ireland isn't too bad for this. You're much much more likely to head "at least you tried" than anything else.

2. No. The tech community is tiny, though so is Dublin. But no, there are few meetups, and they're poorly attended. A well attended meetup might be 30 people, but that's rare. There are more conferences starting, and some cool ones too, like FunConf and the Dublin Web Summit, which can hold their own with the sort of thing you get in SV. But they are rare - there might be 5 worth going to a year.

3. Yes. There is a bit of a migration to Ireland for tech. That said, nerd are more likely to go to Berlin or London, and probably even Paris. So, maybe.

I don't know the NY tech scene, but I would estimate the Irish tech scene to be maybe 1% of the size of what I see in the valley.
That is curious. (I see the same on my iPad.)
Yea. I've got it logging when a person wins a round, now. I was thinking though, maybe I should only log consecutive wins, otherwise it'd just be the person who plays the most. Consecutive wins might keep the leader board empty, though. :P

I can't give any advice other than the obvious, keep your skills sharp and never stop looking for work. If your parents can't help you financially, ask them to help you look for work and let you know if they hear of anything. Breaking into the programming industry is extremely difficult, but you have not failed as long as you keep trying.

On that note, if anyone in the Sonoma-Marin-Napa area is hiring entry-level coders or IT staff, I'm looking for work.
I haven't been able to stop thinking about that XKCD comic since I read it. It's equal parts depressing and motivating.
If you raise enough money to hire Irish people in Ireland, they will give you a visa, guaranteed. Talk to Enterprise Ireland.
Exactly. s long as Apple isn't heavy-handed with certificate revocations or denying new certs, then it's pretty much business as usual (with added security).

I made the point before, and it parallels the move by Firefox, Chrome and other browsers to heavily warn on non-registered self-signed certs. As an intranet web app maintainer, it was a right pain to deal with the situation. Eventually we setup our CA and it was all good.

It would be nice if we had more than just one signature authority supported by this option.

I'm really just pretty panicked. And although i haven't interviewed tons of places for programming jobs recently, the few that i have either ended up choosing another candidate or just left the position open, which hasn't done much for my self-esteem. :-/

Other than that maybe we can just get together after this personal crisis is over? I'm really not overstating things and don't have much energy for casual get-togethers right now. That's not to say I wouldn't enjoy meeting up at a later date, so don't take this the wrong way! I appreciate the offer of support.

I don't want to be down on Ireland, but it is not a great place to do a startup, though it is a great place and I miss it. I left Ireland to move to SF for the tech scene.

The tech scene there is tiny, and is completely dwarfed by Silicon Valley. That's changing sure, but it has a long long long way to go before it could be considered "the best place in the world".

It does have cheap talent going for it. But it has basically zero VC (look at where Irish companies go to raise, it's not Ireland).

I would say, at best, Ireland can now be considered a "not bad" place to do a startup, but suggesting its the best is lunacy, it's not even the best in Europe (hint: probably Berlin).
Thank you this is very helpful.
Honest question here: Why would I use this product instead of Apple's free "Find My iPhone"?
Thanks, I don't know HN as much as I thought I did :(
We had a similar experience with an app last year. Submitted, rejected for small reasons, submitted again, no word for four weeks despite constant attempts to contact Apple, then a phone call. Turns out they also have some rules they don't publish. I asked for their explanation in writing and they were unwilling to give it so I had to go to my Board of Directors with nothing to show for why the app was not approved for weeks. Had to rip out a huge part of it and recode over a two week 18 hour day madness before being approved in 20 minutes after submission (they do help out when you bend over).

As for the rule.....basically, unless you are the New York Times, you are not allowed to use their recurring subscription payment model. It's "public" per se, but they don't let anyone use it unless you are a massive publishing company and fit into their preferred business model.
Audacity is a great free tool in the arsenal of a budding musician and transcriber. You can slow down tracks without changing pitch to try to understand what notes are being played.

Coupled with Reaper, also free if you're a big cheapo, somewhat analogously to the WinRar model, you get so much great functionality for so little.
It is possible they could have fast tracked anything that was an update with the word "retina" in the description. As important as it is for app developers to be ready for a new product I'm sure apple even more so wants apps to look as good as possible on a new product.

> Most anyone who is willing to root and ROM will be savvy enough to know how to avoid security issues and things like malware in non-market apps.

Based on nearly every thread I've read on xda-developers forums, I'd put my money on the fact that most users are just savvy enough to copy-paste directions, and the moment something goes wrong the only recourse is to jump to the internet and hope someone else has figured it out already. I have plenty of friends that don't have the slightest clue as to what root actually means or what sudo or su do with rooted Android phones running CM.

Hell, the Rooting scene is one of the shadiest scenes I've ever seen. Have you seen how many links are on xda-developers that point to random binaries on mediafire.com? Half those binaries are completely open source, with the majority being distributed with the Android SDK, as in, there is no reason it needs to be distributed as a binary, but most users don't know how to compile it anyways, so it comes in the easiest unsigned format without sha/md5 sums. The other half are kernel modules to install or binaries you execute as root on your phone. I wouldn't touch a random kernel module from mediafire.com on my desktop or servers, but since it's going into my phone, it's somehow safe? How is installing that any different than installing a non-market malware app?
Actually, I've written tests for half of that problem: Parsing ABC text into an internal format. That is a very clear problem and one just needs a representative set of input files (I now have around 500 of them -- the tests still run in less than a minute.

> and i'm not sure why comparing three digits rather than two is so much more difficult. can you expand on your logic there?

Really only because it defies what people are used to. I really shouldn't have referred to that third number as the "minor version number", perhaps "the bugfix version number" would have been more appropriate, as that's what people (broadly speaking) expect it to stand for.

I acknowledge that there are arguments to be made for both viewpoints. However, I don't think that the risk of slightly delaying adoption of Python 3k due to concerns of a "compatibility hole" with Python 3.2 are worth introducing even more version chaos into the Python ecosystem. (You could just as easily argue that this move would prevent version chaos by eradicating the compatibility hole, but there will always those people who will forever be stuck on 3.2.old, for whatever reason.) I could be wrong! But regardless of what I think, the fact that the preceding argument can even be raised seems to indicate that it would be politically untenable for the Python devteam to suggest such a course of action. As far as they're concerned, Py3k adoption is progressing at a reasonable pace (though clearly not as smoothly as they'd hoped).
I'm just guessing, but I'm not actually sure that Amazon is that worried about pricing against dedicated hosting. I think they provide a lot of added value on top of just ram, bandwidth and processor. Not everyone needs or wants it, but I don't think you should discount it.

Use a pencil and paper. Make a column for each variable. As the values change, record the new value in a new row. That will get you through the test questions as long as you read the code correctly.

Think about what could cause loops to behave in unexpected ways. Consider off-by-one loop errors like >= where > was needed and vice versa, or a loop condition being assignment (x=y where y is nonzero, so it resolves to true) instead of testing for equality (x == y). Write code for long enough and you will make these errors yourself and debug them so you will become very good at recognizing them. Also be aware of the break, continue, return, and finally keywords.
