How To Get Warm IT leads With The Help Of Lead Generation Services
A lead generation services provider can be a very in strengthening your presence in the market, not to mention improving the services and products you offer.
I think it's pretty.
While I'm sure there's still some (possibly even a lot -- it's a big market) opportunity there, Adobe is the 500lb gorilla in the space, and they're trying to capture the low end. It seems like the opportunities in this space for a startup just dropped significantly.
I'm just back from startup weekend: there where at least 5x more "idea guys" than coders. This rate seems to apply
everywhere. There are certainly way less people who can code than people who can have ideas, though someone who has good business ideas is just as hard to find, or usually fits both categories.
Absolutely. This phrase is a distortion of the "liberal education" (that included calculus, biology, chemistry, and physics) provided by universities of the past. From what I can tell, universities used to have a much smaller student/professor ratio, and had a bit more "disciple" in the study of a particular discipline.

Presumably that ended with the G.I. bill, but no one particularly minded because factory jobs were plentiful.

So when baby boomers of yesteryear look back at their college experience, and try and figure out what they got out of it, can they point to stellar education that they use every day? If they majored in Communications, probably not. Do their jobs require collegiate-level knowledge or skills? If they're in marketing or sales, probably not.

So they remember that they smoked their first joint there, and met that one foreign kid from Uzbekistan, and throw in the first awakenings of independent thought that come from living on one's lonesome for the first time, and call it a "cultural experience of self-discovery."

I malign communications and the so-called liberal arts a bit, but that's not completely deserved. If done right, they actually seem about on par with mathematics in terms of usefulness---abstract and useless at first, but a fantastic base for further study, providing that that further study occurs.
You rent music until iTunes shuts down, you rent books until Amazon decides to take them back, now it's heavy software that you only get to keep as long as Adobe says it's OK.

I still occasionally use a copy of Corel Draw/PhotoPaint 11 that came out in 2002. You know what? It works great and does 99% of what I'd use Illustrator/Photoshop for, and I don't have to keep forking money on it. In fact, I expect to be able to use it just as well 10 years from now.

I think Adobe is fighting their biggest competitor here: themselves (like Microsoft and other large software providers). There is little they can keep adding to justify the upgrade, so they are instead making sure you can't hang on to that old copy you're used to.

At least they're charging upfront for the same thing and not messing with the toolbars (ahem ribbon ahem) to claim they've added something worthwhile..
Does this mean Fireworks is dead? I've always preferred it over Photoshop for creating web/clientside assets.

Is it really bad advice? I can't think of a single good software developer I know who chose the field simply out of pragmatics. Any time I've met someone in a field because they felt it was necessary they typically hate what they do are are likewise not very good at it (with some exceptions).

It's incredibly myopic for a people who are passionate about something that also happens be a reasonably well paying profession to tell other people that they shouldn't follow their interests.

If anything I think people get stuck because they don't follow their interests strongly enough.
oh come on with this bs, while you feel so smug about achieving success through hard work, super obvious you got lucky with an early start. your profile shows you learned assembly before you could vote and started writing a nosql database when you were 19. you're a "normal guy" and im the second coming.

While I agree with you to some extend, there also was a student edition of PS for I think around 200bucks, which offered a reasonable alternative and was regularly subject to various discounts.

I think the subscription model may be good for businesses, because they could always be on the latest version without having to go through a new approval process etc.

However, for private users the barrier to entry will generally not be lowered I believe. At least not for the occasional amateur photographer/graphic designer/video guy. Many people buy PS once and are on e.g. version 'CS' and stay there for a rather long time. They might try the new thing out, but can always fall back because they "own" a copy and can use it as they please. People do not think as rational about it, the security to always have a fallback is worth a lot apparently.
There's absolutely no reason to call him/her "autistic" or anything like it. Take that attitude somewhere else.
Implementation of wget in Python
I see your CVS and raise you having to support Word Perfect 5.1 for DOS (from 1989) in 2008 because the President's right-hand woman didn't want to have to learn to use a text editor like SciTE. (And by 'use' I mean open a file, hit a key, and press save.) To top it off, when the pre-millenium desktop exploded, she came down to my office and started screaming at me that I had destroyed the computer.

She also refused to upgrade from Office XP or give up another expired shareware program from the Windows 95 era.

I totally agree with you. Some people will expend a monumental effort to avoid learning anything.

Many video games these days are designed as Skinner Boxes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skinner_box). Drugs have some of the same effects, but their addictive powers are often limited by adverse side effects (e.g. get too drunk, you vomit) and the build up of tolerance (e.g. a heroin addict continually needs bigger doses for the same effect). Since video games play directly on psychological reward centers, they can push a person much farther into a response/reward cycle than drugs can.

That article is exactly patio11's point--the state trooper in the article spent a year and a half pulling up to 80 hour workweeks to learn iOS. His husband is also technical.
while these horrible boss threads are always enjoyable (hey, scott adams' career is built on it), how about switching perspective for a moment.

the majority of programmers are employees.

what makes a horrible employee?

- disregard of communication etiquette. you're running late on something, a meeting, a task, anything - say it, write it, text it early, and loud enough for your boss to hear. a manager needs that info to counter-steer.

- in the same vein, the non-ability of constructive criticism. don't just think 'this won't work' but continue to work on it anyhow. communicate it, in plain language, with reasons. want to be excellent? provide an alternative.

- play politics. try to brown-nose. etc. hint: your manager likely became one because he/she is good at politics. can see through your attempts and gets easily annoyed by it.

as a manager you need to protect your team from bad apples. the no-assholes rule applies, but as programmers tend to have anti-social behaviors it is harder to apply. is the behavior of the employee destroying the productivity of others? is his/her productivity high enough to compensate? a rockstar programmer might be worth putting up with.

managing people is hard. and you can't learn it like you can with programming. no theoretical studies help, no tutorials, no forums. no stackexchange to quickly solve a problem. that's why a lot of managers suck - cause they are on their own. or as Peter Drucker put it, there are only a few possibilities to learn true management skills out there - the army being the biggest of them, followed by the boy scouts. think about that and what it means for modern organizations.
Fireworks is still listed as part of the suite (as is Flash).
I wonder why he didn't mention Netflix or Hulu or any other such service at all in that entire post.
> It's incredibly myopic for a people who are passionate about something that also happens be a reasonably well paying profession to tell other people that they shouldn't follow their interests.

Amen.
Almost all the programmers I know (myself included) chose it as a career choice primarily because they found it interesting, not because the money was good. It just so turned out that what I (and probably a lot of other people here) wanted to do because they liked it also turns out to be a great career choice. We of all trades are the ones who should definitely not be telling people they need to make the tradeoff between doing something they love and something that will get them a job just because we happen to work in the intersection of both. That I get paid well to do something I love is truly amazing luck, and I (and, it seems, a good portion of the industry) tend to forget that all too often.

Which Programming Language Should I Learn?
Well, that's exactly why VCs don't invest in competing companies.
They are comparable in the sense that a new Stanford CS grad might conceivably be deciding between working in cancer research or cat picture startups.

Your overall point about funding is correct, but typically the very best students and researchers don't have trouble finding funding. Thus the problem is how to attract the very best students away from Wall Street and cat picture startups, and stories like Instagram don't help with that.
It might be more insightful to build one yourself.
according to an analysis of nearly 2 billion
cellphone calls and almost half a billion text

It's a really interesting study, but I question their method. Why didn't they interview people directly?

Maybe mothers value all their children equally, but their daughters are simply more talkative.
I suppose I should clarify: people generally interpret "do what interests you" as "study what you think you will enjoy studying" when they should really be asking themselves what they will enjoy doing as a career.

Social anthropology was interesting to study, but at some point I realized that actually embarking on a career as a social anthropologist would have been terrible for me. I like learning about different cultures, not studying a few scientifically. I can do that as an amateur.

When I sat down to decide what to do instead, I thought, a) I like making ASP pages for our newspaper, b) you can go into a lot of fields with a CS degree, and c) there is a clear path for making a tangible impact on society. It turns out, that was pretty sound reasoning (despite ASP pages being entirely different from CS): I've worked at Microsoft, in computational biology, and now at a publishing startup. I've never lacked for engagement (except toward the end of my time at MSFT), and the problems I'm able to solve in our economy are a larger part of that than the practice of the discipline itself.
that being said, this article holds a different opinion. http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2012/04/why_you_wont_get_breakthroug...
The upgrade is usually $200 or less. So $20 a month is way more expensive than it is now. Assuming I upgrade every 2 years that's $200 to upgrade outright or $480 at $20 a month.
Photoshop upgrades usually cost <$200, and most people I know skip versions. I think at best Adobe has shipped a version each 18mo (sometimes 2 years).

So Photoshop "upgraders" have paid $10/mo in the past, and this is just $5 if you skip versions. $20 is quite a bit more. But I guess it's cheaper for the first year, so maybe new users will like that.
Don't you understand the sheer beauty of the undefined behavior? It is not the beauty of a great painting, it's the beauty of the winter mountain: shining, tantalizing, with the stability of a marble on a needle and ready to take your life at the lightest sneeze.
My bet is more like 12-18 months... but, I'll say this much – the sooner it happens, the better it is for the industry. If there's enough time for the general public to get caught up in the run-up, it's going to be an even bigger fall with a longer recovery.

A bit of realism now would save us from pain down the road.
Are you suggesting people build alternatives to the Adobe suite? That's not something a startup can just do, there are alternatives that have been around for 5+ years and do not come close to the power of the Adobe suite, for anyone to compete they'll need to be better than all the current free alternatives which isn't something someone can do with 6 months of work.

There is definitely room for someone to compete with Adobe, but whether anyone ever can is what matters, there's a reason Photoshop is so widely used when there are free alternatives.
I feel like every PayPal article I've ever read has discussed them having double standards, holding money meant for charity for no apparent reason, and making people smash antique violins.

Why are they still a player in the market?
I agree on the better guidance, but I don't think steering people away from these degrees is completely correct either. Anthropology, English, and Women's Studies can lead to tremendously rewarding careers (if not monetarily, at least professionally)...but! BUT! YOU WILL NEED AN ADVANCED DEGREE!

Honestly, I think a lot of good would be accomplished by simply abolishing Bachelors degrees in subjects like these. You want to enter school to study anthropology? Great. Get ready to work your ass off for the next 8-12 years (and then struggle through the world of post-doc appointments and tenure track for the next 9-15 years after that). Oh, suddenly that doesn't sound so appealing? Well then, lets see what other major you might pick that will give you marketable skills after 4-5 years.

What a wonderful adventure! My favorite of all the recent HN posts.

This is the true spirit of hacking:

> So, this stumped me for a while. I decided I needed to get to know fonts better, so I built a simple web app to view the lines, curves and control points present in the fonts I had. On this basis, I started to consider the ways the features (vertices, curves, stems, serifs etc) might be matched up between fonts. However, this was a rabbit hole I might never get to the bottom of - particularly when considering some of the more unusual varieties of font. Perhaps there was a simpler idea that was evading me.

Of course, now what I'd like to see is the source code to generate the "average" font on a different machine. It would be interesting (for me at least!) to see the average font from a font designer's machine - or someone who collects different monospaced fonts - or my own machine.

I suppose it's not so much "source code" as it is a bunch of manual steps - but would be interesting to know more about those steps, maybe even enough to repeat them.

I've had a similar experience several times as well.

There's a real disconnect when you are chewed out for having wasted company time on improving a process and it is still used years after you have quit the company. (I actually managed to replace about 20 hours of my work week with several scripts that took two or three minutes to run. The best part is that I also did the same for a project manager - and he would regularly get bored web surfing and come and ask if I ever needed any help.)

Speaking English and french as foreign languages (germen being the mother language), I can largely agree with the OP, from my experience. While it's hard to explain why it is like that, for me it takes out some cultural biases you most of the time have when you think in your own language (profiency in said foreign language required).
Wow! At first I thought Adobe had jumped into the browser market. That would be interesting.

He actually made no claim whatsoever about the downvoting habits of libertarians. You seem to be inferring the claim from that he thinks that libertarians must be the opposite of those who downvote them. That inference has no basis in this thread.

You are making similar assumptions about the sentence you quote. He only makes claims about the downvoters ideologies, with no reference to libertarians' ideologies. Even if he does think something idiotic like that libertarianism is not an ideology, which I doubt, he had the sense to keep it out of this conversation.

This is practically the definition of the straw man fallacy.

If it's become common enough that Nielsen must also now report DVR views when they are reporting television ratings, then a significant chunk of the world is using DVR. It's why the networks don't treat shows with high DVR ratings the same way they treat shows with high live ratings: because DVR viewers skip commercials.

I remember when all the Stargate shows were cancelled. It was often pointed out that the DVR audience was still quite strong. So why did Syfy had to cancel? Because the DVR audience doesn't make them any money, and because the DVR audience is not in their live audience that does make them money. SG-1 went for ten seasons, but even SG-1 started losing the live audience to DVR.

And sure, you can say that a sci-fi show will have a more technologically oriented crowd, but it's telling that even the daytime soaps have been affected to the point that some of them, which have run for decades, have also been cancelled. Their audience didn't disappear. In fact, in an economy with slow job creation, their possible audience probably grew. But technology also changed, and now they could watch one soap on NBC and record the other on CBS. Well, they previously could at least, not anymore, since many soaps have been cancelled.
