Last I checked Squeeze had a fairly straightforward Xen 4.0 package. I did have trouble with dropped packets, but I was doing some pretty complex stuff and it was already fixed upstream.

How exactly are you trying to setup networking? Bridged, routed, NAT on dom0 vs domU?

These two pages might help you, though both are slightly out of date:

EDIT: ZFSonlinux is worth looking into as it's becoming fairly mature and provides the perfect storage for xen instances.

Two Predictions: Wearable Devices and Driverless Cars
Yeah, but I'm sure the first person to find oil spurting out of the ground didn't have to worry about it running out anytime soon. Ingenious peoples cutting down the first tree on Easter Island never saw the trees running out. We a humans tend to underestimate our impact as it scales and grows over time. But as growth goes exponential, industries scale, and population explodes, the story, elapsed over time, changes dramatically. Look how far technology has advanced in 100 years. Who knows what crazy shit will go down in the next 300. A billion kilograms might just be "one truckload" out of hundreds being imported daily. We have no idea how big it could scale.

You're right, it's a metric shit-ton of material to make any difference, but to say we'll never have done that much is just impossible.
Surely the most accurate would be to ask them to solve a problem closely tied to the sort of job they will be doing (doing variations on FizzBuzz under time pressure does give information, but that information may not be entirely relevant to the job).

And the objective should be to establish a level of capability which is acceptable for business purposes, not to try to optimize on intelligence.

Be truthful with yourself about whether you really want the smartest guy possible. The smartest guy sees the boss's (or company's) bullshit and is more likely to say something about it. This makes trouble. The smartest guy may be a "bipolar" type. The smartest guy, with the mind that needs meat to chew, is more liable to implement things in a clever way than one which average joes will be able to maintain and extend easily. You probably don't want the smartest guy because he probably isn't as good on some other dimensions.

What I see in this industry is that we project intelligence onto the people with traits which satisfy our prejudices (typically people with high class/status). Then we filter on this perceived-intelligence with the rationale that we want a company with people who are as smart as possible. The actual effect is at least as much to favor people with high social status and self-promotion ability and physical attractiveness as it is to favor smart people.

Hiring processes are irrational not because nobody can ever work out the right processes, but because we work backwards from unexamined pictures of "the right candidate" to the processes which will select that candidate.

My broader point is that there's a lot of talk surrounding the legal/piracy implications of what this man is doing, and yes, the world is far different now that it was some 70 years ago, but in his era a comparative act to this - if there is one - wouldn't have been met with nearly as much (potential) "controversy" I think. Hollywood used to do quite a lot to show it's support to the armed services/government. (Disney sidelined projects to work on what was essentially free propaganda films among many others)

I am in Delhi (have also lived in San Francisco). Actually in SF, it was easy to remain fit, by just walking 7-8 miles after work with friends up and down the hills.

In Delhi (at least in my part of town), its unsafe to walk/cycle in streets due to bad driving and traffic. better to go to a public park or a gym. So yeah, its the east where rapid urbanization isn't leaving space for a random walk.
> Proving one wrong, doesn't make the other ones wrong. You still have to prove each individual claim (statement within a system of beliefs) to be wrong.

Right. However, as humans are allowed to reason statistically, proving most of the claims of a given religion wrong will make it very unlikely that any of them are all that accurate.

The rest of your post I agree with.
I was in one interview at a local startup where there was a whiteboard in the room, but none of the engineers who interviewed me asked me to touch it; they were satisfied to ask questions of the form “what do you know about Java Foobar Technologies?” After an hour or two, I could feel the whiteboard... looming... blank... silently warning me not to take this job.
Is it actually illegal to hire in the US based on IQ? I mean how is that discriminatory more than any other test for employment? Race, religion, political affiliation, disability are obviously all irrelevant in an IQ test... so in a way, isn't it more equitable?

You make a good point about primadonnas and other potentially toxic personality types with high IQs, but you can screen that too. And I mean, I don't care about IQ. To me, pretty much anybody with talent should be able to come in with something awesome and say "look what I did", and if it's great, then who cares? Hire them. Obviously this isn't an argument for creating a new narrow-minded structure to replace the current one; I'm just talking about prioritizing along the essential lines instead of dancing around the real question. Isn't someone who codes and who can give you a fibonacci sequence in realtime more valuable than someone who codes, but can't? I can't do it, but I'd hire that guy.

To pay a consultant with equity, the company should have an incentive plan. It'll be called something like 2012 [COMPANY NAME] STOCK PLAN and they'll provide you with a copy. The plan matters for securities laws reasons. If they don't have one, it's more their problem than yours, but it'd be nice to know they're doing things legit (because if they're not, it could indicate they're not paying attention to tax issues that impact you - see below). The company's plan will probably have a few different types of instruments they make awards with. I'd assume they'd provide you with restricted stock or restricted stock units (RSUs). The first makes sense if the company has no value, the latter makes sense if they do. I would not want options or any other instrument that only has value based on the increased value of the company, in this case.

It may seem surprising, but hopefully logical, that you become an "investor" for securities laws purposes when receiving equity awards. It won't hurt to think like an investor. You might ask the company whether they've done any external valuations, and do your own diligence to ascribe some value to the company. You'll also want to get a sense of what the company's plan is and how/when they anticipate exiting, so you actually get something for that equity. You can defer to VC's judgment on liquidation concerns if the companies are VC backed, since that trajectory is typically pointed towards an exit. Ultimately, the value of your share of equity over the time you'll spend working for the company, adjusted for the time-value of money and risk you'll never get to liquidate might help you get out of the current mindset, though maybe it'll often yield the same conclusion.

As I mentioned above, there are big tax issues in all of this. If the company (uses the wrong)/(misuses an) instrument, you can be personally liable for a lot of money, without ever having received any cash to pay the burden. If you get stock, you've received property for services which constitutes income in the US (IRC Section 83(a)). If that stock has no value, you're fine, but need to make an 83(b) election if it vests. If the stock does have value, you need to use an instrument that defers your recognition of income until you have the ability to liquidate (RSUs can do this) or be paid in a combination of equity + cash to offset the tax burden.

Hope this helps you decide whether you want to invest in these clients.

UP Singapore: Where People and Ideas Rise to the Occasion
I think you are thinking of "change the world" in the "topple bad governments, empower the meek, help make this world a utopia" type of way. Evernote is changing the world.

If you make 30 million people's lives just a tad bit easier, then yes, you've changed the world. If you've caused other companies to take note and copy your business strategy/idea and THEY make people's lives easier, then yes you've changed the world.

Yes, he's rich, but I think he's saying that was a side effect of purer motivations. If you're in it to be rich, then you're in it for the wrong reasons. If you're in it create an amazing product and be impactful on a stranger's life, then you're in it for the right reasons.

Engineering vs. Building a Great Product
I don't know how it is with most interviewers, but for interviews that I do: If you don't know a term, just ask. I'm more interested in whether you're familiar with the concept and can apply it than whether you know the appropriate term. Chances are that you're familiar with the concept already and are just not familiar with the name.

If you're in the interview room, I'm not so concerned about book learning and knowing facts, but whether you have the correct amount of knowledge to do the job and the ability to apply it.

Agreed. TIOBE is only a part of gauging a language's popularity. TIOBE looks at the results of search engines regardless of the recency of the search results. So older languages will obviously have more sticking power. I like to look at current job offerings, google trends, and book trends along with TIOBE when gauging a language's popularity.
I entirely agree with raganwald's point point: language trivia is useless. I'd go further and say if someone knows actually knows C, and has a grasp of using OO in a way that's not painful for others working with them (prefer composition over inheritance, etc...), they can learn C++ on the job. If they know all C++ trivia, but lack a strong knowledge of either C, or good OO, they can do harm to a code base.

However, this isn't to distract from importance of using explicit and copy assignment. Here's a public service announcement: really, if your C++ class has a constructor that takes one argument, please use explicit.

Additionally, please disable copy constructor and assignment operator, unless you actually implement them yourself. Here's a free macro for you, courtesy of Google's C++ style guide:

#define DISALLOW_COPY_AND_ASSIGN(TypeName) \
TypeName(const TypeName&); \
void operator=(const TypeName&)

class MyClass {

private:
DISALLOW_COPY_AND_ASSIGN(MyClass);
};

I will thank you for this.
This is probably a direct consequence of the fact that XML (unlike S-expressions, or JSON) fails to be self-describing. See [PDF]: http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/wadler/papers/xml-essence/xml-...
Can't say I can name a company that has happened to. Do you have any examples in mind?

Here are a couple of ideas.

If you ask users how to make X better they will suggest incremental changes to X. When you phrase the question "How do we improve the current solution to a problem" you rarely get a different solution. You quite often get an incremental improvement to the solution. Notice how you have quit focusing on the problem, and started focusing on your solution? It rather binds what you are willing to consider in the future.

The second is doing whatever your customers want is even worse than design by committee, it is design by a committee that doesn't interact or have the same general goals. A Feature set should provide a clear an concise vision. Committees rarely have that, and random people suggesting things certainly don't.
> If you make 30 million people's lives just a tad bit easier, then yes, you've changed the world.

By that reasoning, if I kick a rock on the street and it shifts 10 feet to the left, I've changed the world too.

EDIT: more analogies

* Bic pens have changed the world

* Toilet paper has changed the world

* Shoes have changed the world

> On a few smaller, more regular examples like richards, I did measure the performance. It is not great, even taking into account that it has no JIT so far. Running pypy-stm with one thread is roughly 5 times slower than running a regular PyPy with no JIT (it used to be better in previous versions, but they didn't have any GC; nevertheless, I need to investigate).

Oy. Armin is hopeful that STM will become for concurrency what garbage collection is for memory management. I'm really hopeful he's right. While I know there's still lots of work to be done, that kind of speed hit is, however, discouraging :(

I came here to post exactly this. I don't know what's happening, maybe it has always happened, but these days I get more easily pissed when someone's trouble could be solved just by reading a book... People: blog posts are nice and all, but for god sake, just read a book. Especially when there is a good, almost universally agreed upon, such book.

I think it's unbelievable that people want to learn about a subject but can't be bothered to read a book about it. This leads to flawed learning at the foundational level, and then avoidable surprises when years (yes, years...) down the road people discover some "unexpected" behavior they should have learned about at the very beginning of the learning journey.

In ye good olden days, when people came to a forum with a stupid question that could be easily solved if the person asking would just bother to read the manual, they used to get a polite RTFM...

Maybe we should start saying RAFB when stuff like that is posted.

Yes probably.

It's all a continuum. Saying pre-req: "enjoyment of beer" is basically "No muslims". Having a lot of social functions depend on beer could be an issue. Imagine the high power workplaces of the past (and now I'm sure) where business decisions were made in the strip club, which women would feel uncomfortable in. Something like that for muslims could be consured as a weak form of sectarianism, and potentially make the employer somewhat liable.
I agree with the story. To interview, you don't turn little details into big questions. You turn big questions into little details.

Interviews are lossy compression of a career, experience, and brain shape, over a noisy channel of whiteboards and human speech. The best you can hope is that your interviewer will recognize the larger pattern.

BUT. There is limited time in an interview, so we try to scry nuances like a soothsayer with a pile of sheep guts. Every detail gets magnified.

Examples:

"You chose to return an error code instead of throwing an exception." Is this an optimization, or have you spent a lot of time on system programming?

"I see a couple of fenceposting errors." Is it nerves or do you not have the right shape of the problem in your head?

"You passed some bookkeeping information in a recursive call that should take care of itself." Do you not understand recursion, or are you misremembering something cool about accumulators and tail recursion?

"You chose to use inheritance instead of composition." Have you ever had to extend or maintain such a design, or did you read about it in a book?

"You used template metaprogramming." Are you a misunderstood genius or do you delight in writing unmaintainable constructs from the dark corners of C++ into production?

"You chose to use Perl but don't know what a hash is." Do you have any questions for me?
I'm going to be canceling my subscription to the Economist. I've always liked their approach to many issues--“follow the money” is always good advice in journalism.

But this is a case where not only did they ignore the substantive details of the press event (Diamandis and Anderson made clear the economic case was based more on in-space use of extracted resources and the birth on Earth of new industrial techniques using once-scarce platinum group metals, and Lewicki explained in sufficient detail how they would achieve order-of-magnitude cost adjustments compared with the NASA model), but they also made truly juvenile mistakes in their economic analysis:

About $4 billion per year is spent on platinum for industrial uses. So if you're sitting on a mountain of platinum you can hope for $4bn/yr revenue for a larger amount of platinum at lower cost (given that's how much industry is willing to spend on the metal), or realistically a value lower or higher based on the the expected demand response to price. Platinum is primarily used in the auto industry, jewelry, and electronics. General motors is not going to sell more product because catalytic converters cost a few hundred dollars less, but jewelers might and the electronics industry certainly would. Either way, approx $4 billion per annum is nothing to sneeze at, and only one part of their revenue model.

This is an industry I know a lot about, which makes me wonder how accurate their journalism is in other areas where I usually just take their word...
Mike, no that's ok. Thanks again for offering your help, really do appreciate it.
i would say to you that this is as much a question of ethics as branding -- do you want your brand to be linked to something negative? my feeling is also if you see this connection as negative you'll carry that feeling out with you and it will hurt you over the long term. i'm also guessing that you're making a classic entrepreneur starting mistake of falling in love with the name of a domain rather than focusing on a product that's great
Kicking a rock on the street is different than the other examples you gave in that the directly measured impact is minimal.

It is possible that it could cause major change (in a butterfly effect kind of way), but usually it would be hard to measure and predict.

But if you kick a rock and a few days later that rock ends up causing an accident of an "important" person you did in fact "change the world" by kicking that rock.

IMO, the other things that you mentioned have changed the world.
