Do you think Brown v. Board is one of the cases SCOTUS got wrong? Genuinely curious.

I'm not yummyfajitas nor am I speaking for him.

I believe he's looking for a principle somewhere that links people's moral outrage and the law. People either have their principles or they have the law. If people are having an argument about what is moral the law is irrelevant, if they're having an argument about what is moral the law is irrelevant.

A consistent argument would be either legal or moral. Any argument that treats the law as having moral weight is assigning some kind of quasi-sacred status to it.

Either the PATRIOT Act is legal therefore it is right is an argument that has some weight however tiny XOR it doesn't.

Why do you think

But it's not just "the Supreme Court decided it and thus it is so" (although when push comes to shove...). It's also that the SCOTUS decisions are a hint book to arguments like this.

They're just some political appointees who're mostly very, very smart. The important bit is the political appointees though. If you just assume Republican appointees vote Republican and Democrats Democrat on any given policy position you don't go far wrong. What moral weight can that have?

I breezed through the PDF on the HTM Cortical Learning Algorithms and there's nothing new since the 80s -- over-fitting is still a problem. Perhaps there's an implicit assumption that because learning is online, over-fitting doesn't happen or isn't important.

Since you bring up Hollywood, there is another theory that might help explain it.

With the rise of movies then TV, you had more people seeing men on screen without hats. Why? Because it's difficult to properly light a man's face while he is wearing a hat. The lights must be somewhat above the actors, so a hat causes a shadow across his face. If you want to see the man's face, then he can't wear a hat on camera. So, once you have the trend setters removing hats, then people get more used to the idea of seeing a man's head sans chapeau. News anchors still dress nicely in suits, so they would still be somewhat formal, even without the hat.

If this were the case, it would probably start to show the decline of hats earlier than the rise of automobiles, in the 1930's or so, so this theory could be tested separately from the rise of the automobile.
Funny you should say that. I'm currently working on a browser-based game where one has a choice of hairstyles and hats for one's avatar. Getting those two to play together caused us quite a few (heh) headaches, and required additional complexity to deal with.
Buddhist monks and the pursuit of a career are to me a weird match, but an inversion of values is not an uncommon marketing approach. As for the design: it's not consistent enough just yet, do you know what you want? Right now you're mixing smooth and pixelated in a weird way. The font for "Get started with your resume" clashes with the enormous Open Sans.

Why don't plan-subsidized prices count? As long as we're comparing iPhones on plans, I see no reason not to count them. The article compared the $0/$99 iPhones on a plan to $0/$99 Androids on a plan.

I think you have a valid point about segmenting only the upper end of the market though. Apple has always catered more to the upper end than anything else, but it works for them. Segmenting this end of the market is still a very lucrative proposition for them. Also, the fact that the top selling smartphone in the US is the iPhone meaning they're currently able to cater to the whole of the smartphone market very effectively, not just the upper end.

I agree this isn't a good strategy when the 3rd world countries start going strong on smartphones, but that doesn't mean it's not a good strategy now. Perhaps when that happens they will fundamentally have to shift their focus from catering only to the upper end of the market to a broader one, but I don't think that will happen soon enough for them to change their strategy now.

It's a great first web app! I can only see you getting better from this point on. Sadly I don't see enough value for me to go pro, who do you think is your main target audience?
Probably because most consumer 'infrastructure' devices have razor-thin margins. This has two consequences: the vendor doesn't spend any time tweaking it, and second, the CPU is too puny to run all the packets through; they go instead through a hardware packet accelerator. It may be able to do the same thing, but not by configuring 'tc'.

This is also why openwrt only runs sensibly (if at all) on the more expensive boxes.
But nothing beats, LaTex!
CGI scripts have much of PHPs simplicity. You can just drop in a executable file, and depending bit on server configuration, it will just run. With Python a basic hello world would look something like this:

#!/usr/bin/python

print "Content-type: text/plain"
print ""
print "Hello World!"

So 3 lines of "boilerplate", and then you can do anything you want. No extra packages to install or languages to learn. No frameworks necessary.

edit: just as an example of minimal hello world in WSGI:

def application(environ, start_response):
start_response('200 OK', [('Content-type', 'text/plain')])
yield 'Hello World!'

also doesn't need any extra python packages or frameworks. but configuring web server to handle wsgi is bit more involved than cgi.

"The question was deemed to be offtopic for StackOverflow,"

I've stopped using stackoverflow as a contributor, the moderators are really overzealous. Legit questions are killed way too easily, without any real recourse to explain or rephrase. Meta doesn't help because the same people are moderating both, and quickly end discussion there too.

It's really sad because the platform is great.

They're not altogether useless. They keep the sun off your face and neck, which can be very useful in some climates. In Australia, where I live, a hat is now a compulsory part of every school child's uniform, and they are expected to be worn in the playground, because we have very high rates of skin cancer here. I don't know if that will translate into adult fashion or not. It might be too early to tell.

I suspect watches may diminish but will always be around because they signal status in a way that hats don't.

See, I actually like that. Here in the US, I'm annoyed when I have change because it's essentially of no use to me. Furthermore, if I can't find something like a tip jar nearby, I'm stuck with it.

When I'm in Canada, I don't mind having change in my pocket because there's a fairly good chance that the change will add up to a substantial sum of money that I can use when you consider how often you get loonies and toonies. My feelings on the subject seem sort of irrational to me though so YMMV :p

I tried it out - very nice work! I really like the design of the landing page. A few comments...

LinkedIn doesn't seem like a great reason to "Go Pro" since I've likely already copied all of my info from LinkedIn just to try it out in the first place. However, the other features, such as analytics and additional templates are awesome additions that I might want after I try it. If I were you, I would seriously consider baking in LinkedIn support to lower the friction for new users and then upsell them with the other features.

You should allow creation of the resume in smaller chunks and save as you go. I get very nervous when I have to type more than a few sentences in an unsaved document.

I don't really need a big description box for every skill I want to list. Actually, I'd rather just list them all (LinkedIn does this).

My profile page says "Howdy Trevor.rundell", which I assume it pulled off my email address. You should just pull my first and last name off of my resume instead.

You should definitely allow users to create their own short URL (/r/trun is a lot better than /r/bejeya). Maybe this is a Pro feature.
I've understood that FizzBuzz is the lowest possible requirement for any programming job. It's a trivial programming exercise that doesn't require experience in algorithmic theory or mathematics. It's like going to the driving test and being asked to start the car: anyone who wouldn't know how to do that is likely highly incapable of passing the actual test.

Now, the astonishing issue, for me, is that there apparently are huge loads of people applying for programming positions who actually fail FizzBuzz. In effect, it's akin to applying for the position of a bus driver "coz I once travelled on a bus". I don't get that but apparently it does happen often enough to warrant FizzBuzz.
It's worth remembering the Golden Rule before addressing a room.
i worked on .net before it was .net. we didn't have a name for the runtime, we (a very large we) just forked the J++ compiler and started hacking, calling the J++ language "COOL", for Common Object Oriented Language. For a long time the runtime was only usable by building executable files with the "jvc" compiler but compiled C#. We started a VB fork that compiled to the "clr". Yet still no name. At the end of the day it was purely a marketing decision.
Canada has a $2 coin. When I'm up there, I find myself using it a lot; an important thing in denominations is not whether each is a set multiple of the previous one, but whether the various denominations easily combine to produce common totals. So, for example, with $1, $2 and $5 denominations it's easy to produce pretty much any amount up to $20; then $20 and $10 make it easy to produce anything up to $100. And for anything more than $100 it's likely you're using a card or a check anyway.
2 is a completely separate concern. It's best to do all your error handling at once, at the beginning of the function, rather than mixing it in with your algorithmic code. But that style has nothing to do with whether you throw exceptions or return error codes; you can return error codes early, and you can throw exceptions in the middle of your algorithmic code.

On the other side of things, if you're calling functions you expect to handle errors, wrapping that up in a try/catch block is no less messy than checking the validity of your objects as you receive them from those function calls.
This is a fantastic idea, but possibly the worst implementation possible. Black backgrounds and flash went out with the 90s (well, early 00s). Then you get to the magazine, and the typography is awful! Go out and buy Linux Format instead.

They posted about their infrastructure and mad dash to scale during the launch weeks. http://code.zynga.com/2012/04/scale-something-how-draw-somet...

It doesn't talk about current problems, but it may be possible to extrapolate. Still, with user counts going down, scaling problems should be a thing of the past.
So, if they ended up buying an android phone, does that really count as a mistake? After all, they didnt really want an iPhone, they wanted a smartphone, and that is what they got.

Identifying competent programmers is hard as long as you try to quantify it. You don't make decisions based on rational facts that come from a rational process, as nobody does. In the end, the decision comes from a feeling that we so hard try to belittle.

The rational mind can make a "decision", like "this candidate passed all our interviews and qualifies on paper: that means we can hire him". But the true decision of hiring someone is more like a "to engage or not to engage ourselves with this guy, in a joint (work) life together and into the future". Conversely, you can just decide to nominally hire people but never back it up on a personal, human level.

The process of hiring is golden as a negative filter: you want to weed out people who factually aren't up to it. But there's no positive filter that you can unilaterally apply. In the end, you just have to let yourself "know" who to hire because there's nothing else you can do.
No worries. It is a big decision, so you definitely want multiple perspectives. Are you in a position where you can't take a year or two off from school, or perhaps longer, to see where things with this job take you? I know scholarships and financial aid can sometimes leave you with your hands tied, but if this is not the case you might want to consider a leave of absence.

Plenty of people leave school and finish their degrees later on (sometimes much later), so you shouldn't feel bad about leaving it on hold for now, especially since you've got a job lined up.
"Getting back to Apple, right now you can go out and “buy” the flagship iPhone that was originally released 3 years ago for $0 (or the one released 2 years ago for $99) -OR- you can get an entry-level Phantek Astroglide which inexplicably runs Android 2.2, looks like a Hummer, & has 3 hours of battery life."

Are those like real prices, or are they contracts? I hate when people quote prices that are actually tied to some kind of contracts. It doesn't make any sense to compare those numbers.

(I always get my phone and contract separately)
And the nickel too. Round everything to the nearest 10 cents.

Personally I don't use any coins at all - I don't carry them. If I get them as change (i.e. I was forced to use cash), I'll pay them at the next transaction then pay the rest using a credit card.

I only want bills - coins are too heavy and cumbersome to carry.

Then again I hardly use cash either, and frequently don't carry it.
I guess there can be so many different plans, and I have no idea what kind of plans do you have in US. It makes more sense comparing the actual device prices than some plans.

because plan-subsidized prices depend on the negotiator, i suppose?

the network company i am currently with offers a plan for the iphone/android cellphones too. i can get the Samsung Galaxy Note or HTC One X for the same price/same contract as an iPhone 4.

I am not sure i would say "inexplicably runs Android 2.2, looks like a Hummer, & has 3 hours of battery life" about either the Samsung Galaxy Note or the HTC One X.

edit: and since i pay around EUR 6,00 per month for my mobile telecommunication needs (EUR 4,00 for internet, rest for voice, EUR 0,00 for text), I am not sure I care about plan-subsidized phones either (unless they are attached to a EUR 5,00 plan).
Congratulations on marrying the interview process to a single question. I hope that question is very close to the core competency you are hiring for.
Great idea! Like the nice clean design, keeps the message prominent. Is it supported by all browsers?
To minimize the number of coins and bills people carry, denominations should grow geometrically. Then no one has to carry more than one of each denomination.

1 dollar, 2 dollars, 4 dollars, 8 dollars, and so on until you have as high a denomination as you want.

half dollar, quarter dollar, eighth dollar, and so on until you have as low a denomination as you want.

The mint can make any denomination a bill or a coin. When inflation makes one too small to care about, you can stop making it; if you want, at the same time you can increment at which denominations you stop making coins and start making bills.

If inflation makes your bill/coin boundary something weird, like 32 dollars, you might want to create 1 new_dollar = 32 dollars and start again. If your inflation is growing so fast you have to keep devaluing... well, that's another problem.

EDIT (to bazzargh's comment): this scheme doesn't obviate stores needing spare coins and bills to make change. If Alice and Bob both have ($1, $4) here or ($1, $5) in old scheme, in neither case can Alice pay Bob $2. I could be missing something, but the new scheme seems no worse than the old in this regard.
