Not very convincing. According to this logic, everyone is a bisexual who wants to have sex with all of their friends, or either need to redefine 'man'/'woman' in this (all?) contexts. Unless assuming essentialism as related to sexuality, which has some problems, such as how to explain the fact that most people are neither entirely heterosexual or homosexual, for example (citation: Kinsey report).

By the way, I would argue that man/woman are more than sexual definitions. They are also social, moral in some religions, biological...

"Sucking the profit" out of an industry is something that happens when you're undercutting everyone on price, driving prices down and reducing overall profits. Apple products arent exactly known for being cheap, so i think it's a stretch to say they're sucking the profit out of the industry; if anything they're conditioning consumers to pay more for a phone than they otherwise would.

They fact they are able to sell a lot of units at those healthy profit margins while competitors struggle to sell cheaper devices at razor thin profit margins (leading to revenue breakdown chart like you linked to) does not lend to them "sucking the profit out of the phone industry", it's them showing everyone else you dont need to peddle cheap crap because customers are happy to pay more for something that doesnt suck.
What is considered a hacking tool? Does it only affect highly automated, single purpose tools which can not be used in any legitimate way, or does it affect things like hexdump or nc?

Also, who makes the distinction? Is it eveluated on a case by case basis by the court or is there a list of "verboten" tools?

I like both, but I often feel that GH tries too hard to be everything to everybody. BB develops a bit slower and as a side-effect the main purpose which is source control doesn't get lost in the works.

I also prefer how BB shows the commit log (with the colorful tree on the left)
then you have our wonderful work place rules which have to go to such extents to keep people away from each other so as not to offend anyone and bring on a lawsuit.

I have worked at places where they asked people not to kiss their spouse goodbye when being dropped off and such. Really. We had two married couples working at the same place and both were told no open signs of affection were permitted. All because it could offend someone else.

The worst was the no flowers office. Glad I was only there six months. Yeah, no flowers, no cards. The only thing allowed were pictures of kids or family photos. Bizarre.

Then you get into those places where if you do go to lunch with someone of the opposite sex people love to have fun with innuendos.

Brilliant. I commend the EU on its harsher stance on cyber security, cracking down on criminal computer usage and protecting the systems crucial to how we live our lives.</sarcasm>

So now we can't use penetration testing tools? I'm sure computer systems will be much more secure without the threat of security testing software, especially since the only threats we know of are from the EU.

Oh wait.
Civil law or not, courts still have (and need) the power to "legislate the gaps" (and similarly, statutes override case law even in common law countries). That has always been the case.

The problem is that there are genuine inventions that do involve software, such as computer-controlled anti-lock braking systems. This has led to the widely accepted doctrine of only "computer programs as such" being exempted from patentability; what is being disputed is what "as such" means and when a software-based invention is more than just a computer program.

As to the relevant statutes, the wording of section 1 of the German patent law (in agreement with article 52 of the European Patent Convention, which exempts "programs for computers") is that "programs for data processing devices" are not patentable, and the more recent BGH decisions really stretch the interpretation of the law to the breaking point of plausibility.
Statically linked in Linux, in Windows the Go runtime and packages are statically linked into the binary, but the binary itself is dynamically linked to kernel32.dll because issuing syscalls directly is not supported.

Why was kernel32.dll rebased when Go doesn't force the rebase is a very good question indeed. I suspect a 3rd party user mode hook, it doesn't even have to be malware, there are legit "security" and monitoring applications that use this technique.

1. The SafeInt class helps detecting integer overflows:

Also, most SafeInt binary operators do not allow for mixing of SafeInts for different integer types.

2. Valgrind helps with detecting use of uninitialized memory.

3. A (rather ugly) solution to prevent accidental use of = rather than == when a constant expression is used, is to make the constant expression the first operand. E.g.:

if (0 = x) // fail!

Report: Police Shoot and Kill 68-Year-Old Man They Were Sent to Help
I actually did find the "nightmare dilemmas" on the site more interesting.

http://www.thebigquestions.com/2012/03/22/another-nightmare/

--------------------------------

--------------------------------

Today’s Dilemma
In front of you are two childless married couples. For some reason, it’s imperative that you kill two of the four people. Your choices are:

A. Kill one randomly chosen member from each couple.
B. Kill both members of a randomly chosen couple.

All four people agree that if they die, they want to be well remembered. Therefore all four ask you, please, to choose A so that anyone who dies will be remembered by a loving spouse.

If you care about the four people in front of you, what should you do?

--------------------------------

Argument 1. For goodness’s sake, they’ve told you what to do. If you care about them, of course you should respect their wishes. Choose A.

Argument 2.Once the killings are over, Option A leaves two grieving spouses, whereas Option B leaves one relieved couple. Surely two dead plus two happy is better than two dead plus two sad. Choose B.

Which argument do you buy? And what’s wrong with the other one?

--------------------------------
This type of legislation clearly stems from ignorance and a lack of understanding. It infuriates me that people can make judgements like this without actually understanding what they are making judgements on.

Impressive but the controls really let it down. Moving around made me feel sea sick with the room spinning everywhere. The cursor needs to be fixed to the centre of the screen (as in traditional fps's) and not have some sort of momentum whereby you continue spinning round when you're facing the direction you want.

Aside from that it looks really nice!
Obviously, a single founder gets more when and if a payday happens. Most startups fail, however. If attracting a co-founder increases the odds of success it is surely worth it. The article points out that you can also attract a co-founder in return for a smaller stake after you get traction. This could be the best of both worlds, unless it leads to envy and friction within the team.

I used to use 'perfectionist' as my bad trait in interviews. (Apparently a lot of people try this, though. I didn't know that.)

And I actually think it is bad, if left unchecked. But I also think that laziness is the same way. Unchecked, it's horrible. Kept in check, it makes sure you do the minimum work needed to get something done.

Combine the 2 traits and you get things done properly with the minimum work needed.

So maybe there aren't any bad traits, only traits that aren't being kept in check?

I don't think it's that difficult and not even that different between industries because it's all relative to what is possible. Both 3D shooter games and quant traders always needed to be in about the same place on the technology curve in order to succeed economically.

You could compare the hardware requirements of today's best selling 3D shooter games to the hardware requirements of the original Doom. One hours worth of game play uses x CPU instructions, y kWh of energy and earns the maker of the game z dollars. You could do something similar to compare today's best quant trading desks to those of 10 or 15 years ago.

Actually you could just as well ignore CPU instructions entirely and just compute dollars earned per kWh for a few computing heavy industries. Obviously that's very crude and there are lots of missing variables but I don't think it's meaningless.
How does that not affect every OS ever?
I think the 'passion' bit is wrong. It's no needed, and it's not always helpful.

Go to any game dev forum and you'll find a ton of passionate posts by people who have designed a game but don't have any skills and can't make it. Except for a few of them, they aren't funneling that passion into anything that gets the job done. They're just begging other people to do it for them.

Yes it is because PAE doesn't change the address space of processes. PAE let's you use more physical memory, the address space of each process is still the same, because 2^32 is still 2^32 with PAE.
Good co-founders you take on where and when you can until you have all the skills you need to make your team complete.

Compensation should be relative to value added rather than relative to time-to-get-on-board. That's because typically both sides know the value contributed and if one side tries to slant the division in their favour this will inevitably lead to trouble down the road.

Start-ups are fragile, if you build in tensions right at the beginning you'll get that back when you need it least.

For instance, during negotiations about an acquisition your key co-founder that you successfully screwed over during the founding days now has you over a barrel. After all he/she has very little to lose and you will stand to lose a lot. You could of course try to take care of that in your articles of incorporation and your shareholder agreements but you can't actually force someone to perform unless they are willing.

Keeping your goals aligned is good for everybody and fairly sharing a much larger pie is the best way to have the story end happily.

"After you gain traction" is sufficiently vague that I don't think that is a good criterion. Better would be that you would take into account the amount of capital already sunk and the risk that you perceive at the moment of joining. Lots of traction can actually mean more risk rather than less.
Nothing to do with the problem.

I love the phrase, "Better done than done better." It's suitable for many situations in life.

In the last few months, I've been running my life off a weekly task list that includes both my personal and business tasks and objectives. I build the task list each Monday morning based on goals I set out at the beginning of the year (such as improve my Chinese, for a personal goal, or get software license signed, as a business goal.) This has definitely pushed me to complete many tasks that could have easily just not gotten done.

That said, I think he paints a binary picture of people who are either go-getters who act now to achieve their goals vs. dreamers who never get anything done. In my experience, these are two ends of a spectrum, where it's important to move back-and-forth between each end to achieve goals and objectives.

By the way, he has a wonderful point about "The Go-Getter loves what he does (and delegates the rest)" I am way too guilty of doing it all myself, when I should instead spend a little bit of money to have other people do things for me that are not key to what I want.
