"Surely failing to graduate in an environment that places everything on having a paper diploma, including one's own image/self-worth, is more to the point of the suicide."

I can't speak for the parent poster but my criticism of the film is not with the themes, but with the trite way in which they are portrayed. I can't imagine an audience not understanding that this is what the filmmakers intended them to take away from the scene, but I can imagine them being put off by how they went about it.
Any word can be a pejorative if used as such, you hacker.
That's right. It means slower software.

That's not what Agile consultants are selling.
Well the other side of the argument is: since (sexist anti-women culture) then not(sexist anti-men culture).

Clearly you can have a society where both sides discriminate against each other (see a certain country in the Middle East).

That said, bringing up anti-male sexism doesn't minimize anti-female sexism. The fight isn't over who is the bigger victim, but over ending both sides victimhood.
> It's unlikely Comcast would pass on the savings to their customers.

It's not unlikely, actually, the probability is 100% because they just did. Customer's quota didn't change but Xfinity app usage doesn't count against it.
Excellent suggestion - and blatantly obvious in hindsight!

Thank you!

Dustin Curtis is a jerk. But I thought I'd made it clear that I wouldn't have minded this happening even if it had happened to somebody else.

Ultimately, what's valuable about Svtble is where Dustin's capable of taking it, both as a network and as a platform. These spinoffs can't touch that, because they're not Dustin. If Dustin ends up launching a great platform, then the copycats won't be able to touch him. Until he launches anything, however, I see no problem with people seeing his concepts and launching copycats, especially not if they're open-sourcing the clones.

There should be a lot of complementary answers. Here's one.

Go is a fun language to make concise server programs that will run with no surprise (no exception hiding bugs), that you will compile without looking for something else to do during the waiting, that you'll be able to profile easily, that will include foreign libraries easily, and that will run reasonably fast (and they will feel astoundingly fast because you won't have to wait for them to start).

Unless I'm buying something I won't be giving up my payment information. Maybe not all users are as worrisome as me though.

Things that I sometimes give payment info for (but they do not charge right away) is when something is a free trial that converts into a paid subscription after X time.

Otherwise for freemium I'll give my payment info at the time of purchase but for the free part, heck no.

You also have to take into consideration that giving away your credit card info feels like you are making a purchase so even though that may mean the people are more willing to purchase when they do give info it doesn't necessarily mean it is a good idea to require it.

How do you deal with the copyright issues of printing and selling other peoples tweets?
But does it support pull-to-refresh?
No but communication is part of any effective process. Standup is just having everyone say what they accomplished yesterday and what they're planning on doing today. If you're on a team with more than three or four people, it's a useful way to get a quick summary of where everyone's at. Some people are good at letting other people know when they're stuck, but some aren't, and if you've got the latter on your team standup is a good catchall. Most teams, whether they're in software, sales, or sports, have some variation of the standup. Of all the scrum paractices it seems like it should be the least controversial.

I'd be concerned about how this is going to hamper the device. It's processing locally, though it suggested it's through the gpu. It could be a significant drain on battery life. Also, to get accurate weather maps is going to take a lot of data.

Seems like a better approach would be to put the calculation in the cloud or if that's impractical use a sort of crowd cloud by having the calculations be sent back up after they're made on the phone.

I work for NASA in a planetary science organization, so let me say this: cost accounting of space missions is unique to the way NASA/ESA operates. Much of that cost is tied up in things like paying researchers and graduate students to do studies during the decades of time between missions, obscene university overheads, re-inventing the wheel with a new spacecraft design for every mission, prime contractors who attempt to maximize the number of subcontractors and resulting complexity because that awards them points in the selection committee, etc.

Private industry could do it way, way cheaper. SpaceX could probably build and launch 45 Cassini probes for what cost to do Cassini–Huygens.
I think simply viewing this behavior would be sufficient for any competent software engineer to understand the method.

I don't know if I'll be able to go on with that. When I was coding in smalltalk and at the very beginning of java I was happy to use the full power of my speaking language in my programs but I had to give up my accents because most tools were unable to handle them.

Now that (on linux) most tools deal correctly with UTF-8, I try again, at least on programs that I'm sure I won't share with people not understanding French (for example French MMORPG). Time with tell but I don't take this risk at work.
About 90-95% of the bandwidth available 'on the wire' is already being used to deliver Comcast's video service. So if this is the first nail it's been there for an awful long time. The way traditional VOD is delivered (QAMS full of MPEG2 programs) is actually very inefficient. There may be 4-8 QAMS just sitting there inactive if your neighbors aren't watching VOD. The switch to IP delivery eventually will allow Comcast and other MSOs to use their bandwidth more efficiently.

From the customer's perspective nothing really changes. Technically your modem will probably be provisioned differently to support the extra services. So for example if you buy a 50Mbit/sec Internet package and a video package from Comcast your modem would actually be provisioned with multiple service flows -- a 50Mbit/sec for Internet traffic and another 50Mbit/sec reserved for Comcast services. That second 50Mbit/sec service flow allows you to have the same video service functionality as the 2-3Gbit/sec of broadcast video they presently waste 90-95% of their spectrum on. This will be reclaimed for the big general-purpose IP data pipe. Comcast will continue to use some percentage of that pipe for their own services but it will be a much smaller percentage than they use today.

So really everyone wins in the end. IP set tops are cheaper than traditional cable set tops. Consumers get to use Comcast services integrated into devices they already own. Comcast's competitors get a bigger dumb-pipe into people's homes to ride on. I admit it looks bad if you don't understand the technology but it's important to remember the bandwidth crunch that Comcast and other MSOs have is directly related to how they presently deliver their own services. Any effort they make to solve that problem is good for consumers in the end.
Can someone create an iOS app for this please ?
Ask PG/HN: Apply to YC no-idea?
We are a team of two applying to the S12 batch. We have had early success with a web application. We won a major venture competition, got accepted into a couple of high profile incubators (though we didn't enter for various reasons) and managed to get a bunch of users signed up. We have nailed the cool factor of our service, however not the habit forming requirement to make it a huge success. We are considering doing a pivot on our app or abandoning it all together. We have four other projects cued up with varying levels of progress that we believe users will adopt. We just need to validate them.

As a team, we work very well together, can execute and believe we are relatively smart (and modest). We believe the spirit of the no-idea application is to find incredible teams. However, we are concerned that the truncated application doesn't sufficiently allow enough space to articulate the progress we have made on past and current projects.

YC states, "A lot of the startups we accept change their ideas completely, and some of those do really well." We may be at this point right now.

Any thoughts on if we should apply via the no-idea application? Is it a catch all for not only people who have "no-idea" but also if you have an idea you are close to pivoting on/abandoning or if you have several valid ideas? We have both applications ready just in case.
You'd have to be creative with the economy. Nauru is literally made of shit. The phosphate-rich soil has been basically completely mined, so it has very little natural resources. It's very expensive to have humans living on an island with little natural resources. You'd have to be very creative in your business model to make this work. But I imagine that's your point entirely: the business model would be founded on the "benevolent" dictatorship which would have the latitude to create a completely unique economic system that could attract particular types of business ventures.
More than a decade ago I worked in a warehouse with far superior automation than moving pods. Pieces could be picked off 50 foot high shelves and moved to the proper packing stations and loading dock on conveyors. Moving entire shelving units around seems a horrible waste of energy, not to mention floor space (limits on shelving height plus allowance for movement).

The tax becomes part of the spread. The spread is paid (in aggregate) by the participants who take liquidity to participants who add liquidity.

It's not that market-makers and HFTs would not be assessed the tax at all, it is that they would be paid more than enough to cover the tax by the people who cross the spread.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Somebody really just needs to clone Apple's input method on Linux and Windows. Then you don't need to copy and paste — "é" is just one more keystroke than normal "e", option-e-e. This alone solves probably 95% of the international issues I encounter to the satisfaction of everyone involved.

It's ridiculously easy to get stuff done without any process when you work on your own and the projects are small enough for that. You don't even need to be very good to succeed in such a scenario.

Cowboy programmers are those who extrapolate from that and believe that teams efforts can work the same way, and who think that process causes only inefficiencies rather than preventing much larger ones.

But for a team to work effectively, you need structure, you need process. Even if the team members are very good, they can get completely lost without process. If they are not completely antisocial, they will come up with some sort of process themselves, but it's not automatically going to be a very effective one (and that has nothing to do with their programming skills). The point of agile is to try and minimize process while still enabling teams to work effectively. And it has absolutely nothing to do with "eschewing individual thought". Quite exactly the opposite, really. But of course there's no concept that can can't be perverted into its opposite by a sufficiently point-haired idiot.
I'm ignoring the core issue here but I just want to say:

SEALAND IS AWESOME

The location and structure itself I mean. What a sweet pad that'd be. Sure, it makes no sense from an economical standpoint. Or if you value safety. Or any logical reason really. But it's awesome.

That is all.
Would you have the same opinion about the PMI and the ecosystem built to support PMP certifications?
This needs QR codes for the links in tweets ;).
Nice work!
It depends.

For instance "No true Scotsman is born in Tuscany to Romanian parents and has never ventured west of Florence" isn't an instance of the fallacy because it truly does violate what it means to be a Scotsman.

Similarly, no true agile team would, say, agree to a single 6-month "sprint" at the end of which they will deliver the end product to a customer who has never seen it before, based only on a set of specs drawn up by an analyst.

And yet corporate shops that do similar absurd, not-within-the-common-idea-of-agile things will routinely label themselves as agile shops.
That only shows that the edits have been roughly the same quality of time, what I'm saying is that edits of the same quality are now judged much more harshly than they used to be. For example six or seven years ago if you wrote something that was true but unsourced, or else the citation was formatted incorrectly, the text would generally be left up and a higher level editor would get around to hunting down the proper citation eventually. But today these kind of edits would get instantly reverted, even though they create value. The issue is that because so much of Wikipedia is already properly cited, adding new text that is correct but not properly cited temporarily lowers the overall quality of the encyclopedia even though it would ultimately create value if left up and fixed, so essentially what we have now is one of those game theory failures.

This really isn't that hard to figure out and all they'd have to do is slightly tweak the design to fix it, so I don't really see why they're having so much trouble on this one.
Looks good from the pics but on my iPhone it makes the website impossible to use. Scrolling and pinch to zoom doesn't work.
> I would offer 50.000k$ to every citizen to abdicate authority trough democratic process and move off the island (or possibly stay and work for me).

History teaches us that there will always be hold-outs and that the most effective way to achieve this goal is through brute force. This is how the U.S. base in Diego Garcia came to be. The islanders who lived there were forcibly deported from their homes in the 1970s by the British who owned the islands.

What the Hell Is Kanye's Insane Tech Start Up?
bzip2 compresses significantly better than gzip (I typically see a delta of between 10% and 30% in filesize) but it comes at a significant cost: compressing/decompressing the same file generally takes many times longer. xz compresses even better but takes even longer.

Also, some web servers (or at least Apache) will serve gzipped static content automagically if it finds a matching gzipped file. For example, if you have /var/www/html/foobar.css.gz, it will serve the contents of that file directly when the client requests http://example.com/foobar.css. So if you're running a stock Apache configuration, there's no reason not to just run gzip on all of your static assets and get lower bandwidth bills right away.

Well, if you mean "Programming is a process" to include techniques of effective collaboration, then agile is part of programming.

Claiming that people who try to define methods to do that better "don't know a fucking thing about programming" is A) a non-sequitur and B) indicates that you don't collaborate well, period.

No, Cowboy is not a compliment. It means a hard worker who takes the shortest path to the greatest output of code that doesn't fulfill requirements and which nobody else can maintain.
