Competitive compensation, benefits, and equity participation
It's weird that you mention that specific point. I was talking to someone about that just the other day during the Bloc course. That bit of advice has really stuck with me since I first read it. +1 on thanks for the resources too Zed, appreciate it.

Most companies already use multiple language, and for good reason as not all languages are suitable in all cases. The idea of having a single language everywhere is nice, but in practice this forces you into substandard solutions in some contexts. This is not a compelling argument for me.

However, if you really do insist on having one language everywhere, you can also compile Clojure down to Javascript using a subset of Clojure called ClojureScript.Unlike Coffeescript, ClojureScript uses Clojure semantics and is not just a different syntax for Javascript.

This doesn't save you from all the odd performance edge cases of Javascript, but at least it gives you conciseness and semantics of Lisp in the one situation where you have no choice of language: the browser.

Actually what I liked most about SASS was the nesting of CSS rules. Since CSS has no inherent structure is can quickly become a mess. SASS stylesheets can mimic the HTML document's structure - which in turn makes finding a rule in a stylesheet so much easier.

The colours and mixins are a total winner too :)
The number of clusters
Very well written post.

However, I found it to be of little value. When fully reading Isaac's post (http://blog.izs.me/post/2353458699/an-open-letter-to-javascr...), it appears to not diverge much from what you've written.

I consider myself a beginner in Javascript and did not find Isaac's post the least condescending. I actually learned a few things and am very glad he took the time to explain how things work. Because honestly, I won't read the ECMAScript spec unless I need to.

I'm actually one of the people who never use semi-colons to terminate statements. That's for personal projects. Where I work, we (as a team) decided to use them. And that's fine, but I prefer not to use them.
Emotion reversed in left-handers' brains
Visually? Finding the missing semi-colon. It should be missing from at most one line out of a hundred, and at the beginning of it, very easy to spot - it's a visible wart, as opposed to looking for a needle in a haystack.
Trivial projets? Perhaps. How many layouts does one need before a project becomes decent-sized? In the several years I've been doing web development professionally, I've changed the colors on a site exactly zero times - it just never comes up. I have wished for variables in CSS from time to time to make things more readable, but really not enough to care about SASS.

In the end I find that if I organize my CSS well, changing things like colors really isn't such a big deal. Like you say. Find/Replace.

Oh well. Either it will pass as a fad or I will one day be forced into the light.
Emoticons/smilies and such do emerged for the very reason you say, disambiguation of things that could be taken out of context in mail form.

Note that this disambiguation does not necessarily mean "making less ambiguous".

A smiley could also mean "make what I say more ambiguous, because I mean it in an ambiguous way (e.g half joking)".

So, it's only disambiguation in a meta-level: making what should be ambiguous more ambiguous, and what should be taken literally more literal.

>Smilies are great for disambiguation, as people have some innate tendency to assume the most negative interpretation of a comment online; look at the culture of manufactured outrage in the U.S. over absurd interpretation of what people say in the public space.

I think "manufactured" is the key word here (that and hypocrisy).

People used to be more vigilant about that kind of hypocrisy, but only if it's by people on the right (i.e a strict republican "man of god" that's caught red-handed with a prostitute, not on the "left", e.g a blog post in the lines of "Booth babes at a tech expo, that is so sexist" by someone who's idea of fun is Hooters).
The difference is that it's a 5 minute thing in ruby with any of the major http libraries. Is libcurl evented? No matter how you slice that cake, it's a lot more than 5 minutes of effort.
awesome. maybe an alternative api would be to allow for something like

fixie.init([".array", "#of .selectors", ".that", ".should", "#be .populated .with .lorem"])

or just a string like

fixie.init(".string, #of .comma .separated .selectors, .that, .should, #be .populated .with .lorem")

I think that would address the class proliferation issue and still be explicit about which dom nodes should be populated. easier to maintain / comment out.
This is a great solution to unobtrusively learn vocabulary while reading the things we're interested in. As others pointed it's weakness is clearly in how it handles sentence structure, but it seems reasonable to accept that it's just going to do one thing really well.

There's only one problem I see with learning vocabulary this way, you need a way to store what you've learned. I thought of one solution, you could drag and drop words into a box linked to your Quizlet (or a similar service) account.

Great Extension. Thanks!

It's not about gaining perfection. It's about gaining vocabulary which is the single most important factor in language aquisition. If you pair it with a conversation group you should learn very rapidly indeed.
I am just beginning to learn Japanese, and someone passed along a great site that takes a link to a kanji page and it adds kana to it. There's also a Firefox extension (Rikaichan) that provides kana in a tooltip when you mouse over kanji. Needless to say, this makes it easier.
Wow yeah I was really confused. English is my third language and I can often figure words that I don't know from the context except that in this case I interpreted 'shrinkage' as some kind of a tendency do produce smaller products (electronics get smaller for instance). And I thought ok it seems a large package makes the product more visible on the shelves. Then I thought "ok" actually a large package would be hard to sneak under one's shirt. So it would be good for that as well.
This piece hits on something that as a former teacher it has always been very frustrating for me to not see mentioned in most discussions of online learning: motivation. One of the main things that teachers have to work hardest on in all but the most elite schools is motivating their students. That is very difficult as it is, and doing it without physical proximity it becomes potentially impossible.

It may be that this can be handled, but it needs to be discussed. You can't just gloss over it and talk more about the stuff that is interesting to programmers to implement.
Problems with semi-colons usually arise in object usage. So your solution is very specific.

x = {[
{ id: 1, data: 0 },
{ id: 2, data: 0 }
],
[
{ id: 3, data: 0 },
{ id: 4, data: 0 }
]}
Shrinkage is any loss of product, hence shrinkage of inventory.

Made me wonder how you could prepare for something like this. If you had warning, and a metal box, would throwing all of your electronics in there be good enough to save them?

I'm thinking computer, phone, stuff like that.

Either way, I'm guessing the internet would be down for quite a while. Not to mention what this would do to our electrical infrastructure.

Hmm. I wonder if the fields would strong enough to kill the computers in cars.

This might make for a good near-future apocalyptic scenario. It doesn't sound too scary, but then you start thinking of the possibilities.

Think I'll go make myself a tinfoil hat :D.
Most consistently, I find that light classical (Bach, Brahms, etc.) helps me to focus on my work.

But more interestingly, many days it's as if there is some particular "song of the day" that my mind wants to hear, and if I can determine an adequate song of the day, I can get very focused listening to that one song over and over all day. There doesn't seem to be any particular rhyme or reason to selecting such a song, and I'll poke around in my music library until I find something that works.

Does listening to the same thing over and over hinder creative thinking? For me, I think it enhances it.

It doesn't help me every day, but ever since I first heard it circa 1998, Electric Light Orchestra's "Mr. Blue Sky" has helped me to focus on many occasions. Some of my best work has been done while listening to that song...

Bizarrely, a couple of years ago I was required to do some overnight systems testing, and as I struggled to stay awake, I found myself listening repeatedly to the "Snow Miser" song from the old Rankin & Bass stop-motion Christmas special. I am at a loss to explain why that helped me to focus, or why I even thought to listen to that song in the first place...
Apologies for being cynical, but you can guarantee that things will be 'no longer supported' etc in the future.. purely by the planned obsolescence of the capitalist system.

I work in the book trade and while we may see a shift in 20-30 years - certain things will never disappear - coffee table books, most kids books, drawing books etc. "Mainstream" (whatever that means) authors may become virtually exclusively electronic.

Personally I like to look at my bookshelves and what is there - and enjoy viewing others.
How about a sample standard-style error:

return

b : "bat"
}

The error here has no relation to the commas.
Nice! I added it as an issue just a second after you.

I'll definitely give it a try, though I invite anyone else to send a pull request.
>You clearly haven't read about the clauses apple put in about payments. You can't charge more in the app via apple than you charge outside the app via whatever other payment system you use.

No, I know of that rule. Just jack the price everywhere --if the iPhone is an important market to you, that 30% is a factor you have to take into account in your overall pricing strategy.

The same holds true for all of your competitors, after all. Either they give up the iOS market, or they have to do the same. So it's not like someone has an advantage over you.

( And, I'd say, if it IS an important market to you, well, you don't get to both have all those customers with their credit cards at the ready in a system someone else built out of thin air AND complain that you have to give him a cut).
Apologies for the tone in advance, but I have to call complete and utter bullshit on this one.

It was a man who convinced my father to buy me a computer when I was but 8 years old. It was he who got me interested in all things tech.

It was a 16 year old boy who taught the 11 year old me how to write my first BASIC program, and under whose tutelage, I wrote my first game.

I attended a boarding school run by an institution which was started by a man (Edmund Rice) who devoted his life to education.

It was a man whose book inspired me to take up science at senior secondary school (The man was Carl Sagan, and the book in question was Cosmos).

While I do not oppose creating a world where everyone can aspire to his or her goals without significant obstacles, I cannot abide such denigration of a gender, be it male, female or otherwise.
Generically speaking, people are easily distracted by the human voice. Therefore anything that has no vocals should lead to less distraction and more focus. This doesn't affect ability, only focus.

Personally, I go for breakbeat, old skool trance (Germanic Trance circa 1990-96), Experimental Techno.
I think "Stop. Listen the nature." is quite possibly the best adaptation of the "my hair is a bird, your argument is invalid" meme to tech arguments.

Seriously, this is a gem.
An epub file is just a zip archive containing HTML files and a manifest. You could probably get away with just epub and something to unzip them with.

I'm assuming that HTML renderers will be around for a while, though. If you're feeling paranoid, throw in a copy of lynx or a quick script to strip out all of the tags :).

A Mighty Bloodless Substitute for Work
And it being charged 10 or 13 dollars a month doesn't make much difference, if it offers a compelling service.

Software and service prices seem mostly arbitrary to me anyway.

How else Aperture went from $300 to $100, Lightroom the same, BBEdit shed 70% of it's price in one day, etc etc... Same, why was iWork a $99 package and now it's 3 components are $10 each on the Mac App Store?

I like the idea in your Edit. If you manage that, you're on a winner. I'm not technically astute enough to have a serious opinion, but intuitively, it makes sense that a dev environment (particularly using tools like VIM and TMUX) isn't far away from what Heroku is already doing with virtual machines. People are always bunging on about how to develop using an iPad - that's clearly the way to do it.

Don't agree on the plateau so far as dev tools are concerned. Would be surprised if you haven't come across Bret Victor's ideas (http://vimeo.com/36579366). In my view, implementing those principles could really change how things are done. Can't wait to see what he comes up with over the next few years.

As to solving the core problem for now: the only solution is to just be really opinionated so far as beginners are concerned. Reasonable minds can differ on textmate/vim etc, but just showing students how to setup one solid set of tools on windows or mac (and more importantly, explaining it) would be a hell of alot more than is already out there. :)

Show HN: A philosopher's quandry
You're standing on the edge of a cliff, scared and shivering. The thought of looking into the abyss is terrifying, you feel you would rather court death. Your only refuge, behind you, are the things you engage yourself in which seem to turn to ashes in your mouth no sooner you touch them to your lips. At least you can smile while you engage yourself -- everyone else looks like they're having fun, right?

You will keep going back because in that world, you reign supreme. In the lands of the blind, the one-eyed is king -- even if they're all steeped in darkness. Nobody knows you're a fake except you, yourself, and then, only in moments of deep and pensive introspection, which are fewer and farther apart as the noise from outside becomes louder and louder, drowning out any hope of useful insight.

Sometimes you wake up after living for weeks and weeks in a pattern -- realise it, and, finding no way out, just go back to doing it again.

What you fail to realise is that this angst, this feeling of non-fulfilment MUST be addressed. To suppress it is to court insanity, death even. You are a philosopher and now you must seek to actualise that as a way of life, rather than the petty intellectual game you have treated it as all along.

What am I doing?

Why am I doing this?

The questions, asked, evaporate into their own unanswered silence.

This is where I have been, this is where I am...sometimes. If you can relate...

> The best practice is that password data should be stored as a salted hash, so if the database is compromised, the original password can't be retrieved.

The best practice is to use a purpose-built password algorithm like bcrypt. Algorithms like SHA1 and MD5 are designed to run fast; even with salts they can be cracked by massively parallel hardware like a room full of GPUz.

I've seen similar extensions for Firefox for years - one or two that replace words on webpages with Mandarin/Japanese translations (and I think even allows you to replace only the ones you have on a wordlist - meaning that you can choose to revise words via browsing). I've always meant to use those extensions but never got around to.

Guess I won't be using this one since I don't use Chrome (I still find it a surprise to discover that most web developers actually use Chrome and not Firefox).
Yep. I used to love this IM, but it got so bloated, so quickly that I quickly stopped using it. Now I use Google Talk. Reminds me of my old MSN :)

> Give me a ballpark estimate for how many reads per second you can achieve from that tree.

Isn't that going to depend on a heck of a lot more than just the RAM latency? Like, for example, how much locality the data has and how big the caches are?

I love this low-level stuff, but I think it's pretty hard to estimate performance of anything from first principles on today's highly complex architectures. There is just too much interplay of confounding factors.
