> Awesome: prototypes

Meh. I still have to write that rant, but javascript's "prototypes" are a boondoggle, they've got nothing to do with Self's prototypes[0] and don't provide anything more than classes do in nice dynamic languages (you can, in fact, do more fucking around with Python's types than with Javascript's prototypes). For all intents and purposes, Javascript's so-called prototypes are shitty single-inheritance classes without the sugar.

> dynamic function scope (not sure if there's a proper name for this)

Not sure what you mean by "dynamic function scope", since you don't seem to like `this` (which is indeed complete garbage, but is sorta dynamically scoped) I'm guessing you mean lexical closures? The part where a nested function has read/write access to bindings created in its outer functions/scopes?

> for now there is a lot we can do with it.

There's also a lot we could do with Fortran and Cobol. That's no bloody excuse.

[0] in Self, prototypes are just the thing you clone to get a basic object, they're just a template. They're not a unit of code reuse or inheritance: that's the job of mixins[1]

[1] which, again, are very different from what you get in JavaScript or Ruby (though Ruby is closer): in Self, a mixin is an object you link to your own via a "parent slot", a special type of slot used for message resolution. When a message is sent to an object, the runtime first checks all of the object's non-parent slots and if there's no match it follows the parent slots recursively to try and find a slot matching the message.

I have no experience of this whatsoever... Didn't RPi do it in a week or so?
If you read the email stream, the CEO wanted to withhold the referral bonus as a punitive measure for a work-related mistake. His subsequent "apology" in the comments tried to unring that bell, instead blaming an "unclear" referral policy for the "misunderstanding". The first act was unethical, the second was egotistical, and both judgements are based on the CEO's own choice of words, not Josh's.
That doesn't make any sense. The rule says 'prior to payment' and the payment doesn't happen until after the new hire is there for 6 months. So if I recommend a friend, then leave 5 months later, I don't get the bonus. How does this mean that I am hiring my replacement?

Why HBO's president panned Internet streaming (and Forbes' linkbait)
Which is what makes RMS so valuable. He does think about things others take for granted, and he raises the alarm if he feels there's something there to be concerned about.

Sure, he raises that alarm early and often (and in an annoying voice), but he's been right more than once about issues nobody else had considered before.
> Now, it’s important to note the reason for all this piracy: lack of access to the show for people who can’t afford, or choose not to purchase, a cable-TV subscription.

Which, for the purpose of watching Game of Thrones, includes everybody who does not live in the US (and the UK for Game of Thrones, since it broadcasts on Sky the day after).

That's roughly 6.6 billion people "without cable access" for the purpose of watching GoT, even taking a third of that to account for people who have high-speed internet access and understand spoken english reasonably well you're still talking about a good 2 billion people who can see the series's hype online and have no way to watch the show legally while it is hyped and they can discuss it with other fans.

Josh didn't do anything wrong. Someone tried to screw him out of some money. He wrote about it on his blog. The problem got solved -- rather efficiently, I might add. Sounds like no lawyers got involved and no taxpayer money had to be wasted in court.

It doesn't really reflect on him one way or another. It's an interesting story, but the only part that has anything to do with hiring him would be to ask him what went wrong with that data loss and how he learned to minimize the chances of something like that happening in the future.

That's what I thought of as well. Twine's, though not as robust, seems a more simple and elegant design. The question I'd like to know is who will take these systems and implement them in applications that have a greater "wow" factor for the consumer. Nest is a great example.

There are so many applications, especially when one considers location sensitivity relative to a phone.
How to get professional web design? | Thoughtfulminds Blog
Hiring of outside professional help to design your website can actually prove to be beneficial to you as they will know the prevailing market trends and will know what is required to catch the attention of online users.
I think that's because learning is all about being in a conducive environment. DBC got the environment part right. Online courses might be structured really well and have the best material, but they still can't provide you 20 people who've put their livelihoods on the line to get through this stuff right beside you.
Absolutely great story and shows off the lifestyle you can achieve outside the city.

However some drawbacks (to compliment the positives of the article):

+ Short Term: While a retreat allows your team to focus and integrate, like all holidays - they end.

+ Talent: You currently recruit in a tech hub city, however eventually your talent leaves and you need to find replacements in the local village. You cannot find anyone as good or as friendly (as they joined the team/party late).

+ Too friendly: You are all new to the place, so you are a little eco system hanging out all the time. The fun will eventually wear off as internal relationships grow/breakdown.

+ Networking: The valley offers fantastic opportunities to meet other like minded people. Opportunities are much higher to meet that next co-founder, angel or VC. What are the chances of this on an island?

So, it can work but not forever and offers startups a constructive way of building strong team dynamics and creating tight focus on building their alpha/beta product.
Let me tell you my perspective, which may be interesting. The company Miso has good points about the reason for the program. In the original exchange the points were brought up.

To me, the points were brought up one email too late. The moment the first response was Josh, let me talk to Tim. After you lost our data and caused our entire company to scramble for 3 days, I am hesitant,

I saw this as. "Let me think of how I can not pay you."

Even though the next email was perfectly cogent, it wasn't the first. (The next email read Spoke with Somrat about this. You're right that the trouble that you caused has nothing to do with a referral bonus. However, we only pay bonuses to employees. The bonuses are discretionary and not contractual. You and Miso never signed a contract that mentions bonuses. As a policy, referral bonuses are meant to help build a stronger team based on existing relationships. Employees bringing on employees that they've worked with in the past builds a stronger team. This bonus is not simply about hiring. For example, we don't pay people outside of Miso when they refer us candidates that we hire. Because you are no longer employed by Miso, you are not eligible for this bonus.).

After the first email bringing up something irrelevant that I passed summary judgment on Miso: if you don't pay, everything else is irrelevant, no matter what you think of it's just excuses, since your first excuse was to just say, "Fuck you, I don't need to string you along anymore. Here's the first thing I could think of. You dropped a one week old database on a product we didn't have backups on." Of COURSE that has nothing to do with a referral, except if you're saying, "you know I pull the strings around here and it's my decision to make. I'm not all that happy with you."

Sorry, Miso, you lost in that sentence. The question is only whether you owe the employee a referral bonus you promised. You don't get to do what you promised if you had a good experience with the the guy or not otherwise.

There's this great founder I always have in mind when I read stuff like this. Boy did that guy have a philosophy! I've always thought of drawing a caricature of him sitting down at a restaurant with his wife and looking at the menu, and his wife saying that they really can't afford these prices. So he says, "It's okay honey order whatever you want. There is no way I'm paying for any of this shit."

NASA has a really nice website about orbital debris. They include lots of information and some images of stuff that's survived hits by debris.

One thing I would like to research is the fact that once you map colors into lab space you end up with a point cloud with clusters around the primary colors. the problem then becomes using AI techniques to find the "peaks" in this data, and finding how the results from that step statistically match up to human perception of primary colors. This ends up being a similar problem to signal processing the output from a capacitive touch screen. The processor at a low level simply receives a 2D capacitance image from which it must extract the center points of fingers and their sizes- And there is a broad range of literature to find on this more generalized problem of "peak detection".
I feel like k-means in in Lab color space would lend itself well here too. Either by picking a large k that you then narrow down by picking the highest contrast colors, or instead by running k-means multiple times with different k's until you get an error threshold that is tolerable and results that have a high enough contrast. K-means is also a pretty easy algorithm to understand/implement.

> As an agreement between the employer and employee, the agreement might be interpreted to apply only to active employees, and on resignation vanishes.

The agreement was fulfilled when the referee completed his 6 months, no? At that point it became a debt that the company owed jzhwu, and he only quit a month after. I don't think debts immediately disappear when you quit a company (unless you sign some sort of agreement to that effect). So by default I'd guess that the debt cannot "vanish on resignation".

> Must the company compensate you? It's ambiguous.

It's probably a problem long settled by the courts and labor regulations, actually. Not ambiguous at all.
They did not do the right thing. They only paid because they got caught, and paying was probably in their best interests financially going forward.

I thought facebook already sorts your news stream by 'top stories'. So things like engagements, weddings, birthdays etc go to the top anyway.

Are they appealing to attention seekers or those whose status posts are so utterly boring that they never make the top of the list anyway?
The cable companies would be extremely unhappy about that, and may drop them.
The thing is, buying Apple hardware immediately solves my problem for a long time. I may only have to upgrade the OS (cheaply and painlessly) from time to time.

If MS could offer the same, no problem. Those two days of struggling and the repeat performances to come are way, way more expensive than buying a Mac. My time and the time of my devs is way more valuable than a Mac Mini.
> People end up following a zillion people they don't give a damn about because that's what you have to do if you want to broadcast there.

Facebook isn't about broadcasting. Use twitter if you want to broadcast. Facebook is about sharing things with your genuine real friends and family.

Asymmetrical following just leads to twitter - lots of celebrity "broadcasters" and lots of silent followers. Rather than real two way conversation.
I can't see how any of this can really be all that good. Sure they might be able to whip up a quick ruby script and write some OOP code. Is that all the value a programmer is? I think not. Higher education teaches you about how computers work. I've taken classes on the fundamentals of computers, from the lowest level (transistors) to writing programs in machine language, assembly & C. I understand how using a set of logically complete instructions, I can build ANY computer system. From there I understand how C, and C++ works and I've gotten massive dose of Java, OOP, Polymorphism, inheritance, abstraction, recursion, memory management, heaps, stack, memory allocation, algorithms, analysis of algorithms, and not to mention 2.5 years of continual programming experience both through academic work and internships. Next semester I'll be learning about Mobile application development, more on C++, Operating Systems, threading and multicore application development. Just a small snapshot of what it takes to become a great programmer.

These "code schools" are great for one thing. Wasting money. These classes cannot replace the rigor of my education; especially when working 25 hours a week and going to school full-time, taking classes that require minimum 15 hours each of homework outside of class. Soon these companies will see how they have wasted money on recruiting the top "code monkeys" instead of recruiting real Computer Scientists. #end rant

At the core it is always about your product

I never disagreed on this point. Ideas are important too, but ideas only act as a multiplicator of value, so good execution by itself doesn't provide enough value and ideas without execution are meaningless.

What difference does it make? Jobs didn't
make his name as an engineer

That's not what matters here, and yes it makes a difference.

To be able to come up with ideas, to be able to have a vision, to be able to have taste, to be able to drive a product, you do have to have an educated mind in that domain, you do need to know what is possible, you do need to be able to do the job yourself if you need to, even if you're not that good as an engineer.

How can you come up with ideas otherwise? And the proof is simple really. Every great idea that revolutionized our world, from electricity, to personal computers, to the Internet, to search engines, to the smartphone you're carrying, everything has come from minds of individuals that know their basics.

Ideas and vision don't come out of thin air. It is often said that a university's purpose shouldn't be to prepare you for real life jobs, but rather to expand your horizons on what's possible and I believe so too.

This is why I consider people with MBAs, but with no technical education, to be basically worthless in startups (and I'm not talking about degrees here, self-taught is good enough). So you have an idea, great for you, however you have to prove that either you know what you're talking about, or have a proven track record of successful implementations of your ideas that worked. This attitude is just meritocracy in action.

Also, I see a lot of resentment here, with people getting offended by this attitude of programmers towards business-types. But we aren't the ones that started it, it was the business types that wanted to turn us into stupid and replaceable assembly lines. Ask the developers in the games industry how they get treated. Well you get what you sow.

Classic CPU Meter Gadget for Windows 7 PC
Interesing to read this and all the replies.
And it got me thinking. Part of what has been a great learning experience for me is the "detective work" that I had to do to understand why. That involved a lot of googling, but it paid of and made me more hungry for knowledge. And when I try to code things on my own it has helped me to survive the debugging.
So perhaps part of the problem also is the student. When did we start expecting that one webpage would gives all the answers?
And basically, people who would've otherwise paid that "token fee" instead pirates. The tubes get clogged up either way (after all, if they oversubscribe capacity, it will come back to bite them one way or another).

All i m saying, and i think most people agree, is that their cost/benefit/profit analysis of the situation hinges on the false assumption that consumers have no way of obtaining the content in their own way (via piracy or waht not). and this is increasingly not the case.

I don't buy books. I like to read, but I never finish a book before I get bored of it, so I don't buy books.

I would gladly pay for half a book after I'm done reading the half that i read, but stores don't sell me half a book, for half the price.

So instead, I borrow the book from my friend, read half of it, and then return it. The store doesn't get any income from me at all.

You have to look at the outcomes though - these guys now have jobs and will be working alongside people who studied for 3+ years to get to the same place ... that's fairly incredible.

This just goes to show you don't understand compilers.

All languages require runtimes, even C. The thing is that C as high level assembler it is, uses the operating system as its runtime.

The C language is also part of Objective-C, in a similar vein as C++ also supports most of the C89 features with small exceptions.

So it is possible to have the Objective-C runtime compiled using the C subset of Objective-C. This is known as compiler bootstrapping.
