But only that of certain social circles. For example, it fails miserably (imho) as a "hacker's language". I suspect the social and technical aspects of a language are inextricably linked.
I tend to disagree. Unified solutions exist on the level of the core language and libs for both lazy evaluation and (pragmatic) functional purity, and the recent discussion around logic programming and pattern dispatch implementation is a beautiful example of how some really smart people are working together towards a common solution, instead of everyone rolling their own.
"a quick Google search did return valid results this time around, particularly that it is for sale on Amazon."

It's kinda amusing that in your quest for more RMS-inspired freedom you came in contact with two of his companies-non-gratae.
That seems like a fair move on AT&T's part and a nice PR opportunity. The article characterizes AT&Ts requirements as "strict" but I disagree. I think it is completely reasonable that they expect you to finish the contract you signed with them and have no outstanding balance.

i think you're mixing several different things together, based on your personal prejudices. by your metric, i'm definitely a B programmer - i am far more passionate about making sure a product is elegantly engineered than about the specific business requirements of that product. all that means, though, is that i need to recognise where my strengths and my limitations lie, and am thereafter a pretty valuable person to have on your team. i'd never try to be a product manager, and i have no ego problems when it comes to working under a lead programmer, or deferring to someone who understands the customer better than i do when arguing over features. i will also make sure that the code that gets checked in not only solves the problem at hand, but is easy to maintain, extend, reuse and integrate into future code (which, at the end of the day, is what elegance is all about).

i also enjoy puzzles, and would probably be one of the people who solved the puzzle in the interview screening test just because it was a fun thing to do. i would never, however, use tricks or puzzles in an actual interview, and my focus is strongly on encouraging the candidate to put his or her best foot forward, and supporting them while they do so. an interview that lets me get a feel for the best the candidate is capable of is far more valuable than seeing who does and doesn't get tripped up by some random trick or either-you-get-it-or-you-don't puzzle.

and finally, i now work at google, and my interview was pretty straightforward algorithm problems - no "how would you move mount fuji" conundrums or random rec.puzzles-style brainteasers. i'm not sure if google actually did use that sort of question at one point, but they certainly didn't last year. (anecdotal evidence, yes, but i had six different interviewers, and surely at least one of them would have trotted out a puzzle if it was still a prevalent practice).

Ask HN: Do Transpeople Need Their Own Y Combinator?
My pitch to YC this round was TCombinator. It`s my first try. TCombinator is YCombinator for transgender founders, with more hand holding, proactive recruiting, and a social good focus. The pain point it solves is that transpeople can find it hard to find work sometimes. It operates on the theory that companies founded by transpeople will hire transpeople in a population proportionate way. It depends on the hypothesis that their exists, in the difference between their proportion of the population and their representation in the set of startup owners, some worthy transgender entrepreneurs with the potential to change everything. TCombinator is needed because YCombinatorexists, and there are no transgender founders blogging about how they were selected in a past round, and my cofounder and I are to only two I know of that applied this round. Theiris no role model or example to hear about to inspire people like me to participate in this startup world. I have other ideas I could have pitched at Transtartup.blogspot.com, and if I had just applied as a ciswoman with the best one and not mentioned my transgenderism or made it a focus of my pitch, I may have been accepted; but my story wouldn't do as much good to the transpeople that read about it, even if I'm not, and the story is just this AskHN post.

To those transpeople that make it this far: I am an escort, and adultfilm actressin Richmond,VA. I wasa software consultant for TCSC before being laid off in October 2010 for being unable to perform the duties I was hired to perform based on "conversations, observations, and joint work". It happened before I could come out as transgender to them, but after people had to have noticed my appearance changing. I've been telling recruiters up front ever since, and it seems like it makes them lose interest in me as a candidate. It's been a hard 17 months since getting my head above water to where I am able to start hacking again, so I intend to hack what almost drowned me. I`ve starved. I`vethought about suicide. If I can try to make things better for us, coming from where I'm coming from at this very moment, please; just try with me. Apply by emailing TCombinatorInc@gmail.com and read more atTCombinator.blogspot.com.

Goodnight World!

What does he actually do on those machines?

I have no idea why somebody in the european parliament would want more than 8 GB of RAM. Apparently he runs Visual Studio inside a VM, but I'm not sure why he does a lot of software development.
"If social norms were fences, [Helen Nissenbaum] said, "any ethical, law-abiding person won't step over the fence." In the absence of data-usage laws or norms [...] some tech companies feel unconstrained about using information in new ways that can seem creepy."

And that's one of the major pain points of 'enforcing' privacy online for users. Together with all the 'global' sets of laws that are needed and need to be enforceable throughout the internet (the EU Data Protection[1] being one of the steps in the right direction), it's painful to see that the legal system can't keep up (once again[2]) with 'the free Internet'.

[1] http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/index_en.htm

[2] It's another side of the spectrum of enforcing laws and norms on the Internet, users paying with their 'personal information' for 'free' services, besides all the anti-piracy efforts of the mpaa and such.
I often wondered if this amount of effort is truly required and if it actually provides results people can relate to. I used Netflix for a while and I find the recommendations to be pretty average for me. Quite possibly it is because I don't tend to rate most movies I watch. I wonder how often that is the case for others though.

More importantly I just don't think you can predict what I want to watch based on factors such as history, ratings, watch times etc. External factors such as mood, recommendation from friend (not on Netflix) and curiosity almost always play a large factor in choose the thing I watch next. These things are not known to Netflix.

As a semi-educated guess I would say that simply providing a listing of popular movies based on ratings/watch times per genre as well as similarity would be enough for most people. It is easier to understand and how many people want to watch something just because it is popular anyway?

I live in Sweden and can tell you that, "My bandwidth is full-duplex 100 Mbit, which is a bit slow by Swedish standards," isn't really true. Sure, fiber is common in certain areas but full-duplex 100 mbit? Not many have it because very few need it. It's far more common to go with your cable provider's offer of 10/1 or 25/1 mbit because that's fast enough.

Avoiding the Microsoft tax, but bought a copy of Windows to run in a VM?

Most universities have full-duplex 100Mbit+, and at those speeds it's not your connection that's the bottleneck, it's the latency of getting your request to the server and the server's available bandwidth. I imagine most routers are smart enough not to completely saturate the pipe with a single user's connection.

Teenager Sells Body Part To Buy iPhone
I do not understand how these two quotes fit together logically:

"For my primary workstation, I’m using a built-from-parts box optimized for silence with a couple of graphics cards. That also allows me to evade the Microsoft Tax"

"Unfortunately, GNU/Linux can still not match Windows in the development department. I use an emulated Windows box with Visual Studio for that"

I am not trolling for RMS's affection. I'm thinking my understanding of MS Tax is not accurate/up-to-date?

DARPA is also just one branch of military research agencies.
He's not in the European Parliament. The Swedish Pirate Party MEPs are Christian Engström and Amelia Andersdotter. Rick gets his salary as assistant to Christian. The current leader of PP, Anna Troberg, is also his assistant/paid staff.
He doesn't seem to complain about it, just subtly bragging about the state of Internet connectivity in Sweden.
Can everyone in the neighborhood (assuming they all use same provider) max out their connections at the same time? AKA Does the upstream provider have that much bandwidth?

"Another important element in Netflix’ personalization is awareness. We want members to be aware of how we are adapting to their tastes. This not only promotes trust in the system, but encourages members to give feedback that will result in better recommendations. A different way of promoting trust with the personalization component is to provide explanations as to why we decide to recommend a given movie or show. We are not recommending it because it suits our business needs, but because it matches the information we have from you: your explicit taste preferences and ratings, your viewing history, or even your friends’ recommendations."

Well, at least they're trying to demonstrate awareness and explain their recommendations, even if they come up short.

Awareness? Am I missing something here because most people I've talked to (several hundred for the record) feel like Netflix recommendations are hit or miss, a black box that plateaus after a while. If anyone can explain to me how Netflix conveys their awareness I'd love to hear it.

Speaking of explanations, sure, showing that I'm being recommended a movie because of some other movies is sometimes helpful, but the rest of the time it just reveals how poorly they understand me. It's can be pretty obvious that the algorithms have no clue why I actually like certain movies, after all, how could they? There are tons of things to like/dislike about any given movie, but when that gets boiled down to 5-stars all that context gets lost. Diminishing returns and noise will keep them from really understanding my tastes with their current system.

Why am I ranting? Because I want to be understood but Netflix and other personalization services still feel so damn impersonal. It's frustrating.

Anyways, we're working on a solution, sign up for our alpha at http://tagbax.com or comment/vote to tell me how right/wrong I am. Thanks for reading.
Oh yeah, seems I misread that. Time for coffee :)

I guess the original question still remains the same
From the notes: "by late 1998, the NASDAQ was at about 1400—just 400 points higher than it was in August ’95. "

A 40% increase in a stock index in ~3 years is an amazingly huge bull market and the sense of frothiness was everywhere at the time. In general, telescoping the "bubble" to 18 months doesn't make sense to me -- the craziness really started with the Netscape IPO. But it was a hockey stick and so those 28 months of the curve look particularly crazy.
If we could somehow get laws on the books that forbade the worst bits of what big business are trying to ram through, perhaps.

In the US, for instance, I guess this would be something like a constitutional amendment protecting internet traffic as free speech, or forbidding the government from enforcing copyright as a criminal offence (I'm not convinced it shouldn't be dealt with in the civil courts)...

... or maybe even just enforcing more openness in the procedures by which legislation is written, so it's far easier for the public/press to see "oh look, this proposal massively favours <supercorp>, who just happen to be throwing money at the primary sponsor WELL ISN'T THAT INTERESTING".

Not that that sort of thing is ever gonna happen. There's no incentive for the legislators to do so, and plenty for them not to.
The MS tax refers to the near impossibility to get a Desktop PC without Windows preinstalled. Sounds like he's not fundamentally opposed to paying money to MS, just wants to do it on his own terms.
The symptom here is the way how, every so often, you run across comments saying "The DOM sucks, browsers should standardise and ship jQuery". But jQuery doesn't solve every problem and might not age gracefully. The obvious response is to go in the other direction, and have all the layout code specified by the page.

I don't know how you can gradually introduce this, though. Maybe a new doctype? UI toolkits for <canvas>?

When you buy a computer with Windows on it, you also pay for the OEM license. When you build one yourself you can run a pirated version of Windows at no extra cost.

Seeing as he works for the Pirate Party, I don't think it's a stretch to assume he got his copies of Windows and Visual studio off The Pirate Bay.

Good news.
"Unfortunately, GNU/Linux can still not match Windows in the development department."

I just don't get that.
No, the provider wouldn't have the bandwidth, which is why the fine print always says that they only guarantee up to x/y mbit.
SQL Database Recovery Software
SQL database recovery software allows the user to recover corrupt, damaged or inaccessible SQL database after repairing it within 2-3 steps. Try it today.
On the other hand I have experienced that the blobs are actually the problem.

For example fglrx fails very often to wake up the graphics card in my notebook. The open source radeon driver never had that problem.

People implementing power saving seem to often complain about buggy ACPI implementations.
Is this email legit? Did any action come from it? I don't know. But I wouldn't be surprised.
http://antitrust.slated.org/www.iowaconsumercase.org/011607/...

fglrx's xrandr support kind of works, but is shaky with the virtual size set to a minimum and if not set high manually needs to restart X every time one wants to set a higher resolution on a secondary screen.
The open source radeon driver on the other hand has beautifully working xrandr support.
Nvidia's blob... Well, the proprietary twinview doesn't support rotating single screens and when I watch videos of presentations I see mostly people trying to get nvidia-settings to set the correct resolution on the projector.

The microsoft documents you speak of, are these in the proprietary, undocumented, closed formats or the new, questionably standardized, overly complex, formats?
I personally think that it is microsoft's intention that you need to buy their product to be fully "compatible" with their document format and that's what they get.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standardization_of_Office_Open_...

I don't know about you but the presentations I see around here in the university are mostly with open source intel drivers (which I have not seen failing in that regard yet) and a PDF viewer showing the presentation made with the latex beamer class. I fortunately don't have to give many presentations but for some I do have used LibreOffice Impress and I was quite satisfied. Sure, it was quite buggy some time ago but it has improved much.

I fail to imagine how I would spend 15 minutes "fucking around with my operating system".
I simply "ctrl+r" the relevant xrandr command from my shell history (something like "xrandr --output LVDS --preferred --output HDMI-0 --preferred --right-of LVDS --rotate normal") - if you don't like the command line, just use a simple gui like arandr - and start the presentation. That takes a few seconds... Maybe you can elaborate?

What are you saving $300 for? Try listening to a presentation from Richard Stallman. You may have heard of him... He speaks about that topic.

Getting rid of unions just sounds like a recipe for abuse. Management simply cannot be trusted to treat employees fairly.
It really depends on the programming language. I'd loathe using Windows when programming C.
Definitely not, I mean, even web hosts and colocation centers will oversell their bandwidth.

That said, I ran a internet radio station + free image host node on my residential connection and was pushing a few TB/mo up and never got any complaints. And BitTorrent is obviously quite popular in Sweden so I'm sure there's a bunch of seeding going on.
The article unnecessarily conflates two separate pieces of the bureaucracy.

The first is management of inputs - work rules, prescribed teaching methods, etc. The second is management of outputs - measurement of student performance and penalties/rewards for teachers who harm/improve this.

The first can certainly be scrapped at the global level (though of course experimentation should continue at lower levels). The second, not so much.

By analogy to programming, it would be silly to hire a programmer and tell him to use Eclipse and make sure all work is performed between 9AM and 6PM. On the other hand, it would be moronic not to give him a detailed description of what you actually want him to build, and put a clause in the contract tying his pay to his product meeting the specs.
I've been on 100 mbit/s for a couple of years and I'd consider upgrading to 1000 mbit/s if it was full-duplex.
Actually, most routers usually don't care who is sending how much traffic..
I've never had a Facebook account (nor do I want one), but I want to ask the Facebook users out there something: Why do any of you put up with this crap? Whats in it for you? What does Facebook do that email, RSS subscriptions to blogs, phone calls, talking to people face to face, et al, can't do?
It's actually really interesting he feels the need to point that out. Possibly because the /g/ and /prog/ boards have such a fascination with him (perhaps deservedly). Stallman has famously called /g/ full of "inane comments" [1] - and I remember someone venturing far enough outside of /prog/ to mail another idol, Gerald Sussman, who said that such fandoms were "unscientific and ultimately destructive", which was very funny at the time.

4chan is a simple enough website that (a) it would perform well on his Leemote, and (b) he probably wouldn't be threatened by e.g. non-free javascript, since there basically isn't any. I think it highlights the way 4chan is "heard and not seen" that RMS refers to "accounts", of which of course there are none, and curious again he uses the gender-inspecific "it" as if the account itself has an identity as a person, let alone any identity at all.

Of course, things like this [2] (possibly NSFW) probably have a very strong influence on his opinion of 4chan.

I'd be surprised of most people chose cable over fiber - everyone I know choses to download TV after it airs in America instead of paying comhem 500 kr/mo for shows that are 2 years out of date.

But true, while 100/100 Mbit is commonly an option in big cities (when I looked for an apartment in Malmö a few years ago, all the ones I looked at had 100M-1Gbit), I'm sure most people go for the cheaper 100/10 option, since most people aren't uploading anything. One friend has 250/50, which seems like a good compromise.
I traveled to Romania and Turkey last week, and airports in both countries required me to remove my iPad from my backpack after I had put it through the X-Ray machine and put it through separately (I also had a laptop that I had already removed). Of course, my iPhone was in my backpack and they didn't ask me to remove that. So maybe international screen sizes vary from the US?

The "metric system of security theater"?
For me it's simple: my non-techie friends do not have blogs, provide RSS feeds, send a lot of e-mails, or hang out on Jabber/Google Chat. Second, you could reasonably call and meet your best friends face-to-face regularly, but doing that would be unmanageable for the wider group of friends.

Or in other words, I use Facebook to keep track of / stay in touch with friends (efficiently). I dislike Facebook's policies and apps as much as the next person here, but unfortunately, Facebook is the place where the majority of people are compared to other networks.
Am I missing something? I don't even know who the guy is, and I was joking in my comment above. I am a gun nut myself, member of IPSC...
