This offer also came with verbal assurances that it was just a formality so I should just sign it.

This excuse is common, and is nonsense. If they don't plan to litigate based on it (or hold you to it) (which is what they are verbally telling you), then they would have no problem with you scribblying it out. Their answer to that tells you their intent.

if that's how management treated me while trying to convince me to join their team, god only knows how they would've treated me down the road.

And how would they have treated you down the road if you had signed away all your rights and given them a golden ticket in the NDA?

Baseline for me is, the Titanic was built in 1912 to the standards they had back then (afaik even the insufficient number of live boats was accepted then), SOLAS was aresult of that disaster.

Imagine the Costa Concordia would have been lost not at shore but at high sea, the same result.

What happened in both cases, or is currently happening, is a review design and operating guidelines, which is good. And double-hules are still not common place, even today.

12 Things to Consider when Selecting a Data Center (Infographic)
Idea for a simple mobile game, Gauss Jordan Golf:

- Specify 18 (or a multiple thereof with minor number changes) equations of varying difficulty.

- Allow free choice of standard computer calculated operations, and a give-up button once you reach, say, 5 strokes.

- Keep a highscore.

Could be extended by viewing Gauss Jordan class of problems as a golf course and adding other courses.

The emphasis on a low stroke count as well as removing the obstacle of arithmetic makes the experience more like a game, just like Tao is suggesting. This assumes a low stroke count is a good metric, as well as something necessarily desirable - something that might not be true for all classes of elementary mechanical problems.

Newly Released Tools And Resources For Web Designers And Web Developers
As you already know, I’m releasing an article with new resources and tools once every three weeks cause there are so many good ones that are released that I can’t just ignore them. I saw that slideshow plugins are very popular and you see at least one of these a week being released on the web. Besides these you will find other useful tools in here and I’m sure you’ll use them wisely.
Hanlon's razor. "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
An excellent example of a valuable product that was bootstrapped from the very beginning. It's really a shame that news like this is not more prevalent. We are so accustomed to seeing media highlights of highly glamorized "overnight successes" that we forget that there are plenty of other founders out there who are starting businesses and going through the same struggles and accomplishments.

More importantly, stories like this make it seem that success is within reach and not something achieved only by an elite few with well connected VCs in some well-known startup hub.

Very interesting. I'm also very interested in making bots to automate various web games, in my case casino games.

When I was in college, I came across a gambling strategy for online roulette. I tested it for a few weeks but I gave up on it as it was extremely boring and tedious, even though it seems legitimately profitable. A few years later I heard about bots that automate poker and so on, so I looked at tools that I could use to code up the roulette strategy to play it automatically. I looked into AutoIt and wrote some scripts, but the code ended up being beyond my ability to write, as my knowledge of AutoIt starting out was zero. Even a relatively simple game like roulette (only 37 supposedly random possible outcomes on a European roulette table) ended up having bot logic that was quite complex.

However a few weeks ago I came across this excellent article:

http://active.tutsplus.com/tutorials/workflow/how-to-build-a...

So I looked at re-writing the bot in Python instead. Turns out that writing it in Python is FAR simpler than AutoIt, and the code far simpler to figure out. Even though I had close to zero knowledge of Python starting out (learning Python really quickly by using it to build a real project, rather than learning Python theory first.) Now my bot is about 90% complete, just a couple of steps away from having a working (potentially profitable) bot.

Really cool what you can do in a few weeks in Python from a standing start.
First of all, congratulations to him! Amazing success for 4 months work.

However, the issue with this is, there is no incentive for the cleaners to stay with the company. My ex was with a company very similar to this one, she signed up, but after she knew the clients for a while, she realised she could cut out the middleman and increase her wages substantially. The company tried to hit her with a 900$ bill for lost profit, their reasoning was "how can we stay in business if our workers keep running of with the clients?" (what does that say about the business model?). She convinced her favourite clients to ditch the company, which allowed her to bring in more money and the clients had a cheaper rate. Further clients were found by word of mouth at that point. I think throwing up some ads in the local paper would be cheaper in the long run than lost money from going with a company like this.
I don't need data to back up a commonly held observation - people are influenced by those who they have to answer to. Are you really disputing that?

As for the idea that they can and will act as they want - that's obviously not true. For example, what if they decided to sue the other Android licensees as they threatened to do before the acquisition?

Do you think the person who decided to do that would have a great future once the acquisition was completed?

A couple of minor typos, though: You've got extraneous ")"s in the code-blocks under "Local Scope" and "A word of Caution", and I think the one under "very bad idea" needs the last line to be "})();" in place of just "});".

There's already such javascript libraries in existence for WebP (they also do WebM).

http://webpjs.appspot.com/

http://libwebpjs.hohenlimburg.org/vp8/webm-javascript-decode...

(There's also a shortcut in browsers like Firefox that support WebM and not WebP where you can turn a WebP file into a single frame WebM video and display it to canvas).

I would imagine that's a good route for lesser known image and audio formats (possibly even video formats) and backwards compatability but I'm not sure it's currently ideal for most image decoding on the web.

Someone should really try it out and see though, it's probably only a matter of time before things like this start moving into javascript.

I don't think you appreciate what mechanical_fish was trying to communicate.

First off, the comparison to Hitler is not hyperbole or misapplied metaphor. Hitler literally compared the Jews to cancer, please see: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1233707/Hitlers-hatr...

Second, it's not clear to me that you do appreciate mechanical_fish's feelings. His point is that cancer is an outsized, heavy word, and regardless of the author's intent, the word has connotations that neither you nor the author can shake loose from the word.
Maybe I haven't been clear enough.

> Nobody ask Facebook to open-source their algorithm or other fabrication secrets.

No, but Google isn't interested in algorithms. Facebook's main asset are user profiles and Google wants to use them free of charge in order to sell more ads. No sane company is going to share its main asset with other companies, let alone free of charge.

Now Google is playing the "everything should be open" card to make Facebook and Apple look bad and force them to share their main asset. But has Google opened-up their main asset?

Unless they open-up their search algorithm, Google's main asset, they shouldn't be blaming other companies for not being open.

That's why I think Brin is a hypocrite. And user data should be free to roam despite everyone's stance.
How is that the concern? That's not what Google is wanting or arguing for.
Your mother didn't have multiple friends inside Google.

This is the story we hear again and again - you CAN get customer service from Google if you have contacts inside or you can raise a big stink at some forum that Googlers read.
I think this title is not what Brin was saying. He said government, Apple and Facebook are threats to the 'Open Web'. The web and the internet are totally different things.
If anyone ever wonders why Python has the explicit self-variable, this is the answer. If you define a local class inside a method inside a class, you will have two variables called "this" or "self" and it may be practical to refer to both of them. Sometimes you see JavaScript with "var self = this;" or something similar.
That's hysterical. Have you ever clicked it? Yes. Enjoy that 50MB HTML file downloaded.

I would recommend using AutoHotkey instead of AutoIt. I wrote some bots for fun for a few similar games but skipped Bejeweled in favor of (a simpler) alternative called Diamond Dash. The bot could hold its own but it couldn't beat some of my better friends. To squeeze out the extra performance one has to start doing much more complicated things. For example, the blocks in these games rarely appear in fixed coordinates but slide around, explode (and therefore partially occlude other tiles), etc. Recently, this has been turning into a bit of a cat and mouse game with game developers. For example, they started adding noise on top of sprites to throw off very simple methods.

But there is something very fun in developing scripts that moves your mouse around and play for you. I like that game much better :)
Oh I can oblige you there.

Please, explain to me the difference between "following trends blindly" and "learning from older developers' experience"?

Because both of them look remarkably like cargo-culting appeals to authority.

Folks constantly rant about the reinvention of the wheel, but i think they're missing the point. Everyone talks about how wonderful it is that digital and web-based technologies allow for rapid prototyping and failing fast which in turn results in the ability to experiment.

And then they turn around and criticize people for experimenting accusing them of not learning from their elders or whatever. Learning is a process. You learn by doing. Even if you have to rediscover what other folks have discovered in the past.

I'm not following it, but doesn't it work as advertised? what's the disappointment then?
I really like the fact the the code is shrinking. It's refreshing to be able to read and understand all of the source code that your apps are using.

There are a few changes that worry me:

* req.get() instead of req.header() - 'get' is an ambiguous word here, might be confused with req.params(). I'd keep the overloaded req.header() just dropping the `defaultValue` parameter

* res.render(404, 'not here') doesn't work anymore. res.statusCode goes against the rest of the 'minimal' api like res.xhr and res.type

* removal of layout/partials (but curious to see what will come out of it)
Yeah, I don't mean driverless cars as personal property would be limited. Rather driverless cars as a service will likely be regulated much like taxis are now. Corporations owning the cars and transporting people for money, that will be regulated and restricted.
Hmmm... that's an interesting (and scary) point. I wonder if it would make sense, from the business owner's perspective, to shuffle the employees around between clients to decrease the chances of this?

It's not related to newLISP in any way, even core language is significantly different. dfsch has only lexical scoping (I'm not entirely convinced of which way to add dynamic scoping to scheme is best) while IIRC newLISP has only dynamic.

And as for documentation: writing documentation sucks :) Originally I thought that doc-strings and automatic generation will take care of most work, but it simply isn't so.

HTML generation (and XML parsing, I tried to use NetSurf's HTML5 parser too, but then gave up) is inspired by S-XML ( http://okmij.org/ftp/Scheme/SXML.html) but with the grammar of structure modified to reflect that dfsch has packages (node names are strings instead of symbols) and for convenience (node names can be keywords, attributes can be specified without '(@ ...)'). My long-term idea is to write set of DOM-like generic functions to manipulate this structure but I haven't yet got to do it.

There's another caveat. Just look at what happened to textmate, it was closed source many of us paid for it. The author decided to rebuild everything and we didn't get any real update for like three or four years. And yet we couldn't do anything about it. And yet it didn't met the community expectations.

Seriously, building a code editor is a massive amount of work, having it open means you'll find someone to help if you don't have a massive company like microsoft behind you.

A good read, but a little disappointing that it didn't touch on the (function(...) {...}).bind(this) approach to passing the parent "this" context down the function tree, preferring instead to use an extra variable in the form of "_this".
I was under the impression that Wavelets were something of a dead-end. As far as I picked it up the wavelets need to be tuned for your output. People have tuned them for great PSNR output but not for SSIM or other perceptual outputs so you get output that is blurry sometimes even compared with JPEG. I'm not sure if this is a fundamental problem with the technique, or just something that's currently impracticable compared with less elegant but working alternatives.

There's more here (though it's talking about video issues too): http://x264dev.multimedia.cx/archives/317
I'm not sure I understand your point. I was just trying to point out what I think is obvious to a lot of founders but was missing from the article: right now both Facebook and Apple offer a much better distribution channel than Google for products and services that compete on merit and word-of-mouth.

As long as Google is putting sites with no word-of-mouth or inbound links on its front page and positioning itself as a champion of the imperiled developer, I don't see what is wrong with developers pointing out that Facebook and Apple are in fact more supportive. There are much greater and more opaque barriers to getting traffic from Google than from either Apple or Facebook.

If Google wants a healthier Internet, it should figure out how it is contributing and retarding the dynamism of the sector. As is, this piece is feel-good self-puffery and Sergey and the Guardian deserve to be called out on it.
remember that all those "other servies" that google provides were not developed by google. they were all acquisitions.

google is first and foremost the googlebot. aggressive crawling is their business. it's the core of the company.
This goes well beyond tech reporting. I've had very respected news organizations attempt to do much the same shenanigans on issues with rather more import than our inside baseball usually has.
