This is a good place to start for people uninitiated to the concerns of design. I only wish I had been so concise as an undergrad.

The title however, is a bit unfortunate. It's a touch condescending, something that designers should really try to avoid when trying to impart the importance of their craft on an audience. At all costs avoid any trace of snobbery. (We all know the pronunciation of 'design', for instance.)

More significantly, the article is not so much about how design works as it is about what design does. That's fine as a starting point, but it's precisely the method of design that multidisciplinary teams need to understand to create truly great products. Dieter Rams's principles are a good touchstone for critiquing one's work, but how those qualities are arrived at, i.e. the process, is the bigger issue and the real "how design works".

An article about how the design process can be understood by others and engaged with would be a benefit to the startup community: It's a huge challenge to create the methods and camaraderie that enable developers, designers, and other stakeholders to collaborate and iterate effectively.

It probably does feel different. To him. Please don't blame people for their feelings or force them to over-analyze or rationalize them. We're all human. It would be different if he was writing a scientific paper on the subject, of course.
As another South African, I've actually heard of cases where people have taken companies to task for being passed over based on certain characteristics (like sexual orientation etc.)

The acronym CCMA is thrown around a lot depending on whose conversations you listen to.
The line between media and real life is never really that wide. FWIW, I'm not sure how to feel about this - it seems juvenile and somewhat insensitive, but I have no desire to censor it.

But as a racial minority I'll say that media bleeds into real life plenty often - even in the most liberal, diverse parts of this country I'm either supposed to A) beat someone up with mad kung fu or B) be really good at math and talk nerdy. There's a compounding and cyclical effect in media portrayals of anything - it begets more skewed perceptions which begets more skewed portrayals.

Media and real life reinforce each other - fiction is not consequence-free.

It's easy to sit back and ask everyone to just take the joke in good humor - until you end up on the wrong end of it. I'm not a woman, nor a sex worker, nor someone resembling Larry, but I've seen enough of these issues to know that when complaints like these arise, there's most often a valid rhyme and reason behind it.

How do I prove that I have no control over this thing?

You don't have to prove anything. You've given them the courtesy of letting them know they have the wrong person, that's it. You can't 'cease' or 'desist' from something you're not doing, any more than you are already not doing it.

If they actually sue you after you've let them know you're not the right person, then you can invest more effort into this... and at that point, they'll be the reckless ones for filing a lawsuit on no evidence.

In the meantime, the most you should do -- milk it for some hits via a blog post -- is all you need to do. You've done it.

Consult with lawyers (off the payment clock, free initial consultations) if you'd like to, but there's no need given that Perkins Coie has just sent you a bit of lawyerly puffery in error.
That's a saving of 11.2% comparing an actual cost to an estimated cost; if the estimated cost blew out (which seems to happen a lot in migrations) then the savings could be even bigger.
The awesome thing about Linux is that I got a Unix like system for free (Windows 3.1 was mainstream at that time), and that I can do in Linux whatever I want to do because it is open source. Linux hasn't lost its fascination although I am a bit disappointed about the current misleading too much tablet oriented developments (Gnome 3, Unity).
maybe. The virtual machine makes it possible to develop completely different languages like Scala and compile into Java bytecode. Play does a decent job of rivaling Ruby on Rails in productivity, but it is still Java no Ruby. JRuby?

ah, and as java on the desktop has been dead for a couple of years, I think security holes are a minor issue. We've got firewalls for that!

I spent 2.5 years at home learning. To eat , I took part-time temp jobs. Anything that would keep me at home most of the time, while still enabling me to pay the bills. After that I got a job as a C# developer for a company.

Without any working experience (as a programmer) or paperwork, I knew this was going to be difficult. It turns out that some companies value enthusiasm and the ability to demonstrate you can and will learn fast, as more important. I had both of these on my side, so I got the job.

I did not have a Github profile at the time, but I made sure I showed them a CD with my most notable homebrew work. I would advise a Github profile instead though. Just put everything on there that you feel might be worth it. Even if it doesn't really have any use. It's about the way you write code and go about solving problems that is interesting to the interviewers.

Speaking as someone who develops html and css professionally (among other things), no they aren't programming languages. To call them as such would suggest some sort of logic, which unfortunately isn't present.

It takes maybe two years using them professionally most of your working days to become an expert. Everything after that is monotonous, repetetive drudgery.

Html5 is a disorganised mess and the wonderful css3 is vendor-prefix hell. I know a lot more of both of these languages than a sane person would want to, and I need a new job. The DOM is a handicap. The front-end of the web is broken.
I like your version of the future, and would love to live in it.

However in my present, every ninety seconds, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted. Tens of thousands of girls and women are trafficked for sex, and one out of 3 women are sexually assaulted in their lifetime.

Our society is fucked up around sex. It's not LSL's fault, but it certainly isn't helping.

It pisses me off that someone is trying to raise 500 thousand dollars to put LSL on an iphone. Is it their right? Yes. But it pisses me off.
The bash shell, as of v4.1, can syslog every command, if you enable it at compile time. Very useful, we use it on all our prod boxes. Take all the other shells off the system and it becomes much harder for a hax0r not to leave an audit trail.
The real problem with CSRF vulnerabilities is that in most organisations, they're nobody's responsibility. The architects, designers and developers all think that security is someone else's problem. Like much security engineering, it's not that hard to design around but it does take a level of skill.

One of the reasons that companies don't bother with fixing their development process is that they can pass on the impact to the end user. If someone renamed your Heroku instance, that's your problem more than Heroku's. Sure they need to fix it, but if the numbers are small enough then it's worth the customer service cost to them whereas your site is gone until it's discovered.
Is not having a policy that reduces the risk of interviewers intentionally or subconsciously discriminating against someone who is LGBT exactly the type of thing you would expect from an LGBT-friendly company?
What could Facebook (or Facebook's lawyers) possibly have to gain from this? I also think once they realize their mistake they'll drop the whole thing.

Oh, they sleep quite well: it's nice work, if you can get it.

The workload is incredibly low, and the hardest task is to find something new to do this year at the Christmas party. Because of huge legal responsibilities nobody will actually pay attention to, the salary is fairly good as well. Since the policies you enact are all drawn in accordance with (and full knowledge by) upper management, you can't be held personally accountable of anything anyway, so when/if shit hits the fan, the company will cover you with all the power of their legal team.

The rest is all corporate doublespeak, not unlike what you'll experience in any other managerial job. I bet you met at least one direct superior, in your life, who told you he was on your side vs the company/upper management; chances are that he was being as honest as any HR personnel will ever be.
I wish he had made this more clear in the actual original post. Unless I'm missing something, there was no indication of this being a parable.

My first program was at MIT in 1960. I didn't like FORTRAN (note: all caps required), so stayed out of computing until the late 60s. Then it was (macro) assembly language, Lisp (1980), C, Objective C (80's), C++, Scheme, Standard Meta Language 90, Miranda, Hugs, OCaml, Standard Meta Language 97, Haskell 98 and now working on Haskell 2010.

I don't know about "feels", unless he has some serious synesthesia issues, but it's far from unheard of to be able to see it.

Speaking from personal experience, I have two data points to contribute. I have been able to see a flicker quite clearly from my peripheral vision coming from an LED christmas light fixture. I remember this clearly as it was so distracting that I had to reposition my body during the conversation to face away from it entirely. In another instance, it was noticeably irritating the first few minutes I ever sat in front of a television in Europe (being used to the higher refresh rate in the US).
Late follow up: sure, many non-software startups are elsewhere, especially in Cambridge (I used to work for a biotech startup in Cam.) Software / web startups seem to be predominantly in London though. (Maybe the London ones are just noisier?)
Either do it yourself using the urllib and re modules or use BeautifulSoup as is already suggested.
I would use urllib/re because that way you will learn more about Python I think (and about reg.ex).
I'm actually a little confused. You list some very negative things, which I strongly deplore, and then you say it "isn't LSL's fault, but it certainly isn't helping". Those are, indeed, very negative things! But...

A lot of things can be described as not being at fault, but not helping reduce the number sexual assaults in America. Apple pie. The Toyota corporation. Cows. Vegetarians. The colour blue. If LSL really isn't at fault, as you say, then why is it problematic that it isn't helping? Just because it has sexual content? I don't understand. Doesn't your criticism apply to, well...almost everything in life? (But especially almost every PG or higher rates movie and a huge number of television shows? Most of which have vastly higher budgets?)

(There's also, of course, the question of whether this is even a useful avenue of attack. There is some - confusing and contradictory, admittedly - evidence that violent games reduce violent crime, and pornography reduces sexual assaults. We have a lot of experience trying to repress basic human nature, and we have very little evidence that it ever works.)

Edit @rogerbruan: I've certainly been accused of being overly literal before. :) Still...

The original comment said that LSL isn't at fault. You're saying that it is a part of problem. I'm not sure how to square those two ideas. Either LSL fosters sexism, rape culture, and sexual assaults, or it doesn't. If it does, then it's at least partly at fault for these ills, and if it's not, then it's not bad for society, right? Still, I think you're broadly right: The original commenter was trying to blame LSL, and just phrased it oddly.

You can "feel" AC - not the power but the sounds that it creates inside devices. There is a resident "hum" from most mains AC devices, particularly energy bulbs, linear tranformers, CRTs, switch mode power supplies, heating, appliances etc.

I'm taking my karma in my hands, but...

I find it disturbing how close minded and parochial you are. I live in a liberal Western democracy. Several years ago our female Prime Minister pushed through laws completely legalizing prostitution. It's just a job; maybe not a very nice job, but a fairly high paying one. They pay tax, are protected by police, and have to follow health and safety laws. And given our generous welfare net, nobody is ever even forced into prostitution to eat.

Do you think getting a haircut at a barbershop is consensual? If so, then what's the difference?

Your idea of prostitution is filtered through the lens of your own experiences. In America and other repressed countries, it's probably a good idea to assume that prostitution is not consensual; there is indeed coercion and violence, which is absolutely inexcusable and disgusting. But America is not the world, and you need to drop the rediculous sweeping universal statements.

Factions!
I started in FORTRAN at MIT in 1960 and now prefer Haskell, OCaml, Ur/Web and SML97. Along the way, I picked up several (macro) assembly languages, wrote some DSLs, and dabbled in Objective-C before C++ became available. Since Haskell can now be as fast as or faster than C, I see no reason to go back.
Speaking from a management point of view, it's not about the financial cost. It's the fact that the company needs to get your job done still. Do you hire someone else? If you do, you need to deal with issues such as headcount, budget, what to do with them when you return.

Look at it from another perspective. If given the choice between 2 equal candidates and you choose the one that's not about to take "leave". It's not discrimination, it's purely you making the best choice for getting the job done. One person is going to start the job right away, one is basically say "hang on, I'll start that in x months".
If the op isn't, does it matter? Not actively fighting something is not the same as agreeing to it. Does the fact that the op doesn't fight for human rights in Africa make them unable to fight for anything else?

The examples given in the article linked explain this pretty well actually...

For example, lets say you want Ctrl + C to quit the program (bare with me, very simple example), and you have a select() call. So you set up your signal handlers, and then start filling the required structures for the select() call, before select() is called though you receive a SIGINT, your signal handler simply sets a global flag that is checked when select() returns (with errno == EINTR). So now the flag is set, the handler has done its job, and select() gets called and your program now starts waiting on file descriptors.

What you really wanted to happen is that the program would see the flag, clean up nicely and quit. Now the user has to send a second Ctrl + C to interrupt the select() syscall and to have the code executed that checks for errno == EINTR and the global flag that was set in the signal handler.

This is but a simple example of a race condition that can exist. The SIGALRM example given by the other HN user is also an excellent example of when things can go awry when not intentioned, and unless you program your signal handlers with that in mind you may get results you weren't expecting.
When trying to point out the inappropriateness of a touchy situation to someone, I try to lighten the mood with a joke. If you can target the joke to engage their "but that's ridiculous!" response, it will help them to realize that's how their question made you feel.

Something like "I tell you what, I'll give you half the answer to that question if you give me half of your salary after you get hired...". Of course, its entirely possible for someone to take that the wrong way, and just assume you are being a jerk.

Feeding a troll ... may not be my smartest move yet.

Yes, signalfd() is wonderful and nice, but it makes it a pain in the behind to port your software. If you need to use signals and do it in an event loop of some sort take a look at libev which abstracts away the OS and handles it in the best way possible depending on the system it is run on.

Not only that, but libev will make use of epoll/kqueue/select/poll as required on the OS it is running on, so you get easier portability with the various different event mechanisms that do exist across systems.

Hey Alan - I know your spirits are down a bit right now, but this post has a very depressing and desperate undertone. You've gone through a lot and times are rough. I completely understand. While that may urge me (and others) to help you, I'm sure you don't want feelings of pity and desperation to be associated with your game.

You used so many words telling us how we can help you that you neglected to share the most important thing (and biggest selling point): how awesome your game is and how much enjoyment we will derive from playing it. In fact, you mentioned almost nothing about the game itself. You went on and on about the importance of moving up in a list and gaining momentum, but most of us have not the slightest clue of what your game is about.

Just some food for thought. Best of luck and I look forward to some followup posts.
