Very nice, love the idea of sharing this type of graphic with friends on Twitter.

Any plans to integrate data from non-hardware based tracking devices (like Fitbit, Fuelband, etc.) but from other apps like Nike + GPS?
I get around a good chunk of problems with an unlocked jailbroken iPhone 3GS and a service called Family Mobile. Family mobile is a t-mobile service with Walmart branded name. I still have 10$ off per month from being a former employee. It'd normally be $65/2 lines/month.

2 lines, unlimited text and phone, with free 2g data is 55$ a month. Also all "pay SMS" and other scammy services are neutered by the provider unless I explicitly allow them.

I also live at my parents, so in a pinch, I can redirect GVoice to the house landline. It's not the best of solutions, but it does work.

Be aware, you're not watching YouTube and stuff from the speed of connection. However it's awesome for emails and tethering. I can do an amazing amount of work from an eeePC (gifted) and a tethered iPhone, with google services.

The interview went awesomely well. It's for level 2 tech at a university

Its also very unlikely you'll stumble into a windfall founding or working for a startup. Its something some may not want to hear but from a purely financial perspective of startup vs corp, 99% of cases it is always going to be financially better to work for a corp.

If you're working for a startup hopefully you are doing it for better reasons.

Right. But the Clojure compiler is written in Java. See swannodette's comment on my comment. Apparently self-hosting isn't a high priority right now.
If you write it on paper, are you sure it's correct?

Gen X Hits Another Bump in the Road
Makes sense. Better to make more things instead of rewrite the compiler without good cause. I'm just surprised it hasn't happened earlier, since that's the approach many new languages take. But Clojure is pragmatic, so I really shouldn't be surprised.
Girl Talk: http://illegal-art.net/allday/
I also hope for a good solution. I disagree about portability though.

It is awesome to have different dialects of clojure, which are the same wherever possible, and vary only where they have to.

The purpose of a different dialect is to take advantage of a different host vm/language. Enforcing uniformity across all dialects would preclude this.

But my point is, even accounting for variations, having a uniform representation for programming primitives across all these hosts is a huge win.

Its great that I'll be able to play with, take advantage of Lua without learning the details of its language. Instead of learning new syntax and semantics, all I need to know is the precise details of how this clojure dialect is different. This is much easier and more accessible than starting from scratch. I don't want to have to learn these languages in order to use them.

Finally, given the trend towards declarative representation, I expect a lot more than algorithms to be portable. I expect all the clojure dialects will be pretty interoperable from a SOA perspective.
This is great btw. Thanks a lot for sharing!
This is fun. I want to be able to share my mixes though.

..and yet when Oracle's lawyers noted that Schwartz "wasn't talking about Sun's legal position, but rather its business agenda." Schwartz said he was not a lawyer and therefore not an expert in copyright, patents and license agreements. Schwartz also said "I'm there to define our business strategy -- not to write our contracts."

Here's the main thing about his testimony: Schwartz "endorsement" is not a license agreement or a permission to break copyright/patent laws.

Edit:

and if you look at Jonathan's blog post it clearly says in the header "JONATHAN'S BLOG".
...why? This isn't supposed to be the one true rails queueing implementation, just a standard interface to code against. Without it third party libraries have to resort to all sorts of ugly workarounds to push work into the background ... or just not provide that feature. With this in place third party tools can push into the queue without knowing or caring what specific kind of queue you're using.

Bootstrapping and consistency across platforms. The goal of Clojure-in-Clojure is to write the Clojure compiler in as much of Clojure itself as possible. Right now the ClojureScript compiler is actually closer to this goal than the Clojure compiler.

If ClojureScript were ported to the JVM, maybe it would replace the current Clojure compiler as the official implementation. Clojure-in-Clojure would be further along, and implementations across host platforms would share a larger portion of code.
Here's recent mix I really enjoy:

If you do a lot of cooking, it would be a great deal!

These people may not be doing much programming daily, granted. But programming is just the means, not the end: the end is to work with information. And everyone in an office setting works with information. Becoming even a little more efficient with large amounts of information is a great benefit, and only requires a tiny bit of programming aptitude.

You can think of it like learning to touch-type: invaluable even if you only do typing tangentially to your real job.
The idea that we would make disposable drink containers out of aluminum would have been crazy in most of the 1800s, when aluminum cost as much as silver.
That's always annoyed me: sure, XML can be heavyweight but if we're going to use it we should at least get the benefits.

Naturally that line of reasoning didn't get very far with the “maintainers” of an internal purported-SSO system with a SOAP endpoint which crashed on non-ASCII data or SQL special characters in the submitted username / password values.

My view on clojurescript to javascript that implementation has significant benefits mostly if targetting mature javascript library (such as dojo toolkit or others)

I do not think it is support right now but would be nice to be able to do things like

(use '[clojurescript-contrib.dojo_wrap :only (dojox.grid dojox.coolwidget)])

and the same for future Lua or other backends, however, I am not sure how the proposed modularisation will make this work.
I think it is better to think of the LHC as a global scientific instrument that just happens to be located in Switzerland. I think it's culturally beneficial for science to be freed from nationalist impulses and become a joint enterprise of the world. As we learn more about the universe, the scale and expense of the leading edge of science will increase to the point that only global participation can afford (if we're not there already).

Interestingly enough, I find ads in my own language (russian) way more ridiculous than similar ads in english (not that I often see either). So it is possible that you are looking at objectively more ridiculous ads.

A similar effect happens with code -- any language with syntax localized to russian looks funny to me.

I believe that these errors are so common they represent a Cognitive bias on the part of programmers. At some point every developer wants to execute a one line command and have the system "do something". If they cannot get that one line, then they have two options. - Wrap up more abstraction code, until one line executes (the SOAP solution), or think deeply about what you are trying to do and take things away until one line is clear and obvious (The REST solution)
No, I would not say that.

Internet Explorer is the default on Windows because Microsoft makes it, not because it's the best option for a default.

Bash is the default because it's the best shell to be used as a default. Nobody is twisting the arm of any distribution, but they set it as the default anyway. There's a reason for that.
You are welcome. Really looking forward to test the product though. Do you intend to take on Intelius and Companies like that? Is that your goal?

I'm also a big fan of SomaFM for background music, although which stream I go for varies depending on my mood. I've found Cliqhop better when feeling tired, and Beat Blender more suitable when feeling fidgety.

Another favourite of mine is [http://kohina.com/] -- I definitely find old-school game music helps me focus. Perhaps it's conditioning from the hours on end spent sat in front of an Atari ST in my youth...

Absolutely agreed. All I know is I will COMPLETELY lose my mind if I'm still working for somebody else (as a contractor or employee) in 5 years; his advice to stick with the paying job while figuring out what you want doesn't address what to do when your repeated conclusion after all the thinking is: "work for myself, build out my ideas".

The only way to deal with this conclusion is to act: to go out there and experience working for yourself, and test your instincts and savy against reality. I don't care whether my projects succeed or fail at this point; I'm just happy I'm focused on exploring my potential and my desires.

I still have the day job, for security and capital, and I have only chosen to pursue ideas that DO impact people's lives (otherwise why would people use it?); none of this stuff is mutually exclusive!
17 years ago, when I got my second Internet account with my ISP, I filled in these 3 names for my choice of email address on their paper signup form.

Some people didn't get one main aspect of his point which is the 'tricking' part where he publicly committed himself to his daily work output goal.

I guess two problems with that are A) I am unfortunately not that "gullible" as far as believing that there will really be dire consequences if I don't produce a certain amount and B) as far as I know there is no public for me who would care if I suddenly declared that I was going to produce one new feature every day no matter what or whatever. I have no twitter followers and no one ever really read my blogs and generally posts on sites like reddit are autobanned. The closest I could do would be to go on Facebook and almost everyone on there is family. They would probably react the way they usually do to my Facebook posts which is "wow, I forgot that guy was on Facebook? He is so weird" with an addition of "who cares".

Also, its easier to write one article a day than it is to say push a major feature per day. Also it is easier to measure and break off writing goals than software goals.

I don't have a problem doing work every day, but I do feel like some days are vastly more productive than others. Not sure what goal I could have per day other than X amount of hours of actual work.
I love it too; much easier to find features I don't use regularly.

Fair or not, I feel like people who complain about it today (years after it launched) are just announcing, "I'm bad at adapting."
If a patient with the last name of "Mouse" ever checks in to the hospital where I work, I have doubts about whether any of his labs will be performed.

Thanks for participating in the discussion. I completely understand what you are talking about regarding attracting engineers. It's so crazy currently in Silicon Valley!

I am not saying that you should not be ambitious. It's just that I see so many people boasting huge vision with no traction at all. As you can see in the email above, TheFacebook was indeed a hot website with amazing traction. Their ambition (social graph, platform, etc...) came later, and so many times entrepreneurs think that they need to have the big vision first when their MVP is not used at all.

In the case of Ark, I believe that you have a very interesting product, and that being where you are right now is a very interesting position. I wish you all the success in the world to bring that to fruition and be able to get the traction you need to go to the next level. Good luck! I would love to have coffee with you and hear more about it if you are in the city!
"You can't win if you don't play" isn't any less true with the lottery, you're just looking at much worse odds than other, more preferable, situations.
That's great information. Why hasn't this happened in the US as well?
This enrages me. Unequal application of law is an injustice to everyone. How can teenagers be bankrupted and have their future damaged by sharing a few MP3s via P2P yet this guy can bootleg 300,000 current release movies and the industry hardly flinches? This guy gets a free pass because he's old? Because he's supporting US troops? Bullshit.

When kids can have their future ruined because their situation doesn't "warm your heart" and this guy can bootleg for 5 years you know the system is broken.

Note: I'm not defending USA's IP laws. They are very, very broken.
> Here in Los Angeles it is not too uncommon to see people crossing a street

I live in SM and work in West LA. Most of the crosswalks simply don't have lights. Not even the ones in the ground that flash yellow. If you don't go for it, you'll never cross because there's no reason for anyone to stop.

"Feminized" (and I disagree with this characterization because - have you met any females in latin or european countries? Quite assertive.) men would just stand there, waiting for traffic to stop. I see that here a lot from clueless people.

Locals like me just charge into traffic on foot, consequences be damned. I just walk in front of a 50MPH vehicle and stare them down and dare them to run me over. Hasn't happened yet. Try it some time, that's livin' ;)

"Gabe Newell — Of all the people at this company who aren’t your boss, Gabe is the MOST not your boss, if you get what we’re saying."

Could you try phrasing your question a little more specific? I have trouble making sense of what you're getting at.
Or building an open source tool that individual users could use to manage raw storage in an S3 fashion. Its an interesting idea.
Tahoe-LAFS[1] is a storage system that works similarly. It splits data into n fragments, of which any k fragments are enough to restore the data. This leads to a replication factor of only DATA_SIZE/k*n, while you can still lose n-k pieces without data loss. Additionally all data is encrypted, signed and optionally deduplicated.

One of the authors of Tahoe-LAFS started a company that ported the whole system over to cloud storage providers.[2] It's still in alpha, but it's definitly worth a look if you want secure, encrypted storage without relying on a single cloud provider.

Beam forming trades more computation (which uses less power than you'd think thanks to dedicated hardware) for much less broadcast power. Also, 1 Gbps is only achievable with multiple channels combined. If a phone only uses one band, it would take a lot less power, drop your theoretical throughput to 250 Mbps (which IMHO is still overkill for a phone), and keep all the other advantages of the new spec.
My ex husband was a "jr." I still get credit card offers for my first name last name jr. I also once had a really nutty phone discussion with a marketer where I tried to flippantly make the point that I can't be a junior since I got married and thus no longer have the same last name as my mother. They didn't seem to get it.

I thought I would escape my name issues by marrying. No dice. I thought I would escape them by going by my more common middle name. It doesn't help as much as I hoped. It's like a curse.

But at least I don't own a cat.
