That seems like a bad idea. TeX doesn't allow separation between markup and presentation very well. Something like DocBook[1] with a presentation engine like XSLT might be better, if it wasn't for the verbosity of the XML source.

Isn't it easier to just stick the bare wires into the socket with matches?

There used to be a 1970s government training film showing you how.

I am a big fan of mechanical key switches; blank keys are partially a gimmick but also can be a useful tool to force you to touch type. I use a Filco tenkeyless board with cherry blue switches and blank key caps today and am very happy with it.

I have a Das Ultimate in the closet but overall I didn't like it. The usb controller was flakey and occasionally froze or doubled key strokes, hopefully they have fixed this issue but it was just too much. Other than that, it has a glossy finish that shows dirt and smudges too much and the size is overwhelming; I like to keep my trackpad close to the right side of the keyboard and having the number pad on that side meant a long movement.

You put this much better than I did.

The risk I see with hiring someone who lists their MBTI on their CV so prominently is that one day I'm going to ask them to do something, or work with someone, or communicate in a certain way about something, and they'll claim they can't or won't, based on that.
Correct. I was pointing out to the parent comment that the earth pin isn't used to form the usual circuit.

Actually, you can get started on Creative Cloud immediately (I did with CS6...just an online signup and confirmation through email), and in any case you can use the software for 30 days without a serial number.

Not saying Adobe support is great though. I had a nightmare experience some years back: my CS3 had license issues after installing trial CS4, and the good folks in India insisted I was ineligible to use my CS3! It was the single worst customer support experience for me EVER. A subsequent follow-up call resolved it easily though, so it's only a few bad apples IMO.
The emptying out of Detroit is contained almost entirely within the low-density residential neighborhoods. The downtown area stubbornly clings on in large part because density makes it easier to serve with new business and core infrastructure.

Low density is what made the emptying so contagious and the costs so unsustainable. Low density requires continual growth to pay for the long utility runs and the long service routes for everything from busses to police patrols to trash pickup. And because service erodes as buildings empty, more buildings empty. And when the remaining 20 or 30% of your population is scattered, it's very hard to introduce new businesses or retrench old ones to serve them. The erosion is almost impossible to contain without Flint-style abandoning of large swaths of area and relocation programs for anyone who remains. (Detroit has been trying similar, but it's expensive and slow.)

I don't know much about SF and the valley and I'll refrain from commenting there. But you guys know demonstrably nothing about Detroit and you may want to follow the example.
So then the question is, how can we tell what is a smear campaign, and what isn't?

Personally, I don't care overly much, as I care more about wikileaks than about Assange. However, I realise that many people will not be able to separate the two.

This story ( http://liberalconspiracy.org/2011/03/01/assange-goes-off-dee... ) - I read the original print copy, is what convinced me Assange at least seems to be becoming unstable (perhaps understandable), as I generally trust Private Eye (which is a British political magazine).
I am guessing he is American, they HATE Assange with a vengeance, saying he put soldiers lives at risk by publishing the truth. Right... Given that it was Memorial Day, emotions might be running higher still.

MBTI and the MBTI test are two different things although often confused as one.

If you want to be scientific, then a more accurate statement is:

The MBTI test, may have weak validity and precision across all it's dichotomies.

Albeit even this matter seems to be contended.

"CPP Inc., the publisher of the MBTI instrument, calls it "the world's most widely used personality assessment",with as many as two million assessments administered annually. The CPP and other proponents state that the indicator meets or exceeds the reliability of other psychological instruments and cite reports of individual behavior. Some studies have found strong support for construct validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability, although variation was observed. However, some academic psychologists have criticized the MBTI instrument, claiming that it "lacks convincing validity data". Some studies have shown the statistical validity and reliability to be low. The use of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator as a predictor of job success has not been supported in studies,[15][16] and its use for this purpose is expressly discouraged in the Manual.[17]"

I think you're misunderstanding the purpose of the terseness of mathematics. The point is to convey the important concepts as cleanly as possible, assuming your reader has a certain level of prerequisite knowledge. The same can be said about code: you assume your reader has a certain level of understanding of the domain that you're modelling through code. The terseness is a virtue, in the sense that only the critical bits of new information need be conveyed. All the prerequisite knowledge is hidden behind abstractions that the reader should be familiar with. Math, and code, is cryptic if one doesn't have the prerequisite knowledge, but this is by design.
I hope more people realize this. What the rich have more of beyond a threshold is power not objects. If you take the "stuff they own" and give it to the poor, each person on this planet will get very little. They will become a little more freer from the tyranny of the rich and their whims and fancies... but it is unlikely that their standard of living will improve at all. We need to have more energy and resources to actually improve the conditions of the masses. Just moving the money around will not get us there. Things like dematerialization: "Turning Gramaphones into iPods into a feature on a tablet" is an example. Elimination of books and paper is another. Education is slowly moving in that direction. To learn something, the student needs to spend time and effort.... not gobs of money to buy a piece of paper. Medicines cost pennies to produce. We spend an inordiante amount of human effort to discover them. If we get better at this, we can spend a lot lesser on health-care. Such changes bring huge improvements. If you need to work only 3 days a week. You save 40% on travel. Earn less and spend less. You will have lesser traffic woes too. Parents could participate more in the education of their kids and take better care of the elderly. Asking people to mine with spoons instead of shovels so that they can all be busy is silly. Jobs are a milder version of slavery for most people. Let us liberate the planet from this as much as possible. But if people had to switch to a 3 day work week, we need to ensure that the quality of life should not drop but improve by doing so.
Had I said "all people are the same and think the same way", this would be an interesting and almost appropriate response.

As an answer to "putting your MBTI result on your CV like it's relevant and you think it offers some kind of insight is bad", it's a little weird.
They have procured programmable logic chips (FPGA) with the feature that the configuration data that defines the function on powerup can be encrypted/signed.

The configuration is commonly stored in a small serial eeprom (tiny 8-pin chip) and automatically read when the FPGA powers up. The content of this chip is often called "bitstream", this configuration eeprom/flash is sometimes also internal to the FPGA.

The key this configuration is encrypted with is supposed to be stored securely inside the FPGA, but they managed to extract it using undocumented commands on the "debug port" (JTAG) that the vendor explicitly claimed did not exist.

Note: This is an interface that normally is not easily accessible from the outside, but sometimes connected to a microcontroller to update the FPGA configuration.

Theoretically someone who gets access ("normal" computer backdoor over the network) to such a device might be able to re-program the chip thereby causing malfunction or add a flaw deliberately. The second scenario would be to decrypt the configuration information, "decompile" it and learn about secret algorithms or functions.
My blank apple keyboard: http://www.flickr.com/photos/deadsunrise/4338226640/in/photo...

It took me about 3 hours to sand all the keys.
Forced touch-typing really is a useful learning mechanism. I have this experience, and I notice it seems to be true for most people: I know most common keys, but am not aware of the positions of less-common ones even if they are more important. I always look down, for example, when I type a backtick (`) - probably in part because it's in different places on the keyboards on my two laptops and on my own Happy Hacking II (which I love dearly.) "Stop looking at it" isn't as intuitive or simple as it sounds; in practice, I have a feeling pretty much all of us look at the keyboard sometimes, even if we don't realize it.
Montreal is also thriving, creative and dynamic in ways few Canadian cities are. Its got an actual art scene, which is pretty rare for Canada. Its great food, decent mass transit, and fun neighbourhoods.

It may be falling down and overrun with student protesters but at least it is not the never ending soulless sprawl that is Toronto.
Could you explain how these relate to the Meyer-Briggs test?
Too bad about the gloss on the new Das. I have an older one (second-gen I think) and it has a matte finish. If I could somehow remove the logo and the Num/Caps/Scroll lock icons without messing up the matte finish I would :)
I went through the process of helping someone attempt to get license codes for the 32 bit, CS 4-ish versions of some programs that are included, for compatibility with older systems, with the CS 5.5 Suite -- it says so right on the tin that they are included, and the installation programs for them are right there on the DVD's.

The process was atrocious. Each phone call essentially started from scratch. One time, I actually got a U.S. representative, and while they were more coherent, ultimately they were no more help, insisting I go back into the other support "flow", which dumped my right back into an Indian (I'm assuming) support center.

It took a fucking month. By which point, the person's original deadline and need had passed.

At the end, I was explaining to the support staff what they needed to do. I finally got someone with a bit of initiative, and after they went to their manager once and received the wrong information, I convinced them to make a second attempt, again with my clarification.

These "managers" have access to a system that generates keys. All the manager had to do was look up and generate the right kind of key. Which they finally found, after my strong insistence and detailed description.

This was one of many support center "managers" consulted by staff during multiple calls, none of whom had a fucking clue about their own product.

If they had, and had demonstrated any motivation, let alone initiative, this month of purgatory would have been reduced to one 10 minute support call.

You can see why they "need" to shift support overseas. It must be the only way they can afford endless hours of utterly useless support staff time.

Fuck Adobe. I'm generally reserved on HN. But these bozos really deserve the outrage.

P.S. I've nothing against overseas (for me) staff. The staff were consistently polite and patient on the phone. They were just utterly untrained and unempowered to solve the problem. (The "managers", OTOH, were in front of the fucking key generation system. They merely had to actually identify the right product and generate a key for it.)
I thought we were all trained touch-typists?

How on Earth would we work if we didn't? That'd be like having a workstation with 256MB of ram.

Again - I don't get it. If you look at the keyboard ever, you're Doing It Wrong.

If you don't look at the keyboard, then it doesn't matter if there are letters on it or not.

Buying hardware is not the solution to "I don't know how to touch type".
3G is never meant for Live Traffic. There are latency issues and packet losses being wireless. There is no proper QOS guarantees on top of the Wireless Stack.

Ah-hah, cheers :)
Buying new. I needed Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects for a ~12 month project. Buying each individually would have been more expensive than the suite.

Even if I decide to keep the subscription after the project is over, paying just $400 more over 6 years for the benefit of amortizing my business expenses, not having to worry about being out of date, and not having to predict ahead of time which tools I will need in the future (e.g. if I had purchased the Web Suite a year ago, I wouldn't get After Effects) is totally worth it (to me).
Check out Geekhack.org or Deskthority.net. You may be able to find a keyboard from a member that's in your country or someone willing to act as a forwarding service.
I hope they planned for this. Hinging an entire business on the decision of a 3rd party is Russian roulette.
Intellectual property is much more about controlling revenue streams. That's really the whole point. There are plenty of microchips sold with things turned off. Phone systems with half the box unused. Same with copy machines.

Entertainment is pretty much all marketing. Remember people typically pay for something that they need. Typically with music and movies until you market it to them they don't need it. Marketing is complex. Regioning allows a company to control the hype build up before a release. It can focus it resources on different regions at different times. It can also use the free hype generated by a release in it's primary market(was once very popular with video games from Japan to the US) to hype the other markets before releasing there.

The point of all of this is that all it matters is that they make another .01 doing it this way.
In this case, where donations would happen with one tap, I think it is sensible for Apple to require breaking the UX so as to avoid unintended donations by the users, or malicious implementation by the developers.
Cherry MX Blue switches are similar in feel to the Model M style buckling spring switches but have I think a slightly shorter travel and require a little less force. Cherry MX Brown switches have a lighter touch and less of a click when the switch activates.

Probably you need to try them out for a while to decide which keys work best for you.

I used a Unicomp keyboard happily for a few years but am most comfortable with an MX Blue keyboard now.
I always hesitate a little bit when I open a pdf, specially when it is one on malware
Yes, but not just that.

If the company I am applying to bases their solutions on Microsoft products, odds are I am not the right fit for their open position, and somewhere on HR or in my task to find a job there has been an error.
When I was about 15, I painted over my key caps with a few coats of acrylic paint to create a blank keyboard, with the same idea - a forcing function to learn to touch-type. It especially prevents you from subconsciously looking down for the occasional key, e.g. the rarer symbol keys.

It didn't hurt that I was using Dvorak layout - the alphabetic keys would be misleading in any case. I chose Dvorak for similar reasons, so that looking would not give any benefit. (I type about 110wpm.)

There's no need for Americans to know which pin is live. (The correct answer is "both", by the way.)

Americans who do DIY electronics / electrical systems all know that black is hot and white is neutral, bare or green is ground. Plugs come with cables, so there is no need to know which pin is which, and I'm not sure what the benefit of rewiring a plug is except in the very rare case that the plug is damaged.

For the record, the bigger prong is neutral, which is exactly what you'd expect.

> Flip the problem around: If your interviewer asked you for your MBTI type, would you think that was a good sign?

No, that would not be a good sign, point taken, although I'm not sure it's that bad when you mention it as an applicant. The relevance for me was describing what kind of guy I think I am (somewhat of an introvert), but maybe I should downplay it or leave it out completely.
As a designer (which I know you are not) this resume is a bit of a visual mess. Font sizes are all over the place, color blocking is sloppy and unclear and the visuals overlap the text in several places. It also doesn't adapt to mobile devices well.

Pick 2 or three font sizes and cascade them.

Pick one serif and one san serif font.

Pick a base text color one accent color for your section headers.

Clearly separate your text from your visuals.

Use some bold within body text.

Break longer text up.

Shorten the entire resume to focus on only your best work, provide an appendix at the end for your full list.

I built a clear and simple adaptive resume I made a few years back here:

A note for readers who might think this type of resume could help land a job in a traditional company (AMZN, GOOG, MSFT, and any other software company, large and small, who employs recruiters).

Know your customer. Your customer is the recruiter.

A typical recruiter spends less than a minute looking at a resume. Much less than a minute in some cases. This presentation makes it impossible for the reader to skim and get the salient point of why you might match the requirements of a particular position.

The only reason a recruiter would actually read this type of resume is if you were a referral. Otherwise, the recruiter will skip to the next resume on their stack.

That's either a pretty silly troll or you haven't travelled much outside of affluent Western Europe. I've also been to most of those cities and can only say, if you think they're "stifled by pollution" then your first 10 minutes in Beijing are going to be rather eye-opening (or is that eye-watering).

Back then TCP was the best mainstream choice. Using UDP would have looked good due to its message orientation. But its limited message size, lack of re-ordering and congestion control would have disqualified it almost directly. TCP then looks better, since it has reliability, re-ordering and rate control. You only need to change the streaming functionality for senfing messages. This they did by using one TCP connection per message. What they missed, however, was that connections are expensive in TCP. There are a lot of handshakes and TCP probes a lot before opening the throttle, something you notice when downloading a big file. Throwing away connections like that is a waste. Ideally, you would want one connection per server and reuse it for multiple requests. This was done in HTTP 2.0, where connection:keep-alive was introduced. But TCP still has significant overhead and a slow rate control mechanism. It also does not allow multiple concurrent requests in the same connection. These problems are addressed by SCTP, which is really a great fit for HTTP and awesome in general. It is also message oriented. SPDY is another similar alternative, which is less general than SCTP.

But the point I was trying to make is that TCP was intentionally crippled by HTTP to acheive REST. Then people hack the restrictions of TCP and declare a new invention.
The fallacy here is that machines “replace” humans. They don’t. They can displace humans from jobs, but the humans don’t disappear. The humans still exist and can still do all the things humans can do, including find ways to create value that other humans are willing to pay for.

Horses, however, cannot. When horses are displaced from their “jobs,” they don’t have the option of finding other ways to create value for humans.

Any causal model that ignores this distinction between humans and other ‘biological entities,’ entities which just happen to play a supporting role in human society, is a model we can expect to make poor predictions about the future of humanity.
This looks cool, but they have a massive problem: nobody wants to learn how to use a keyboard again. The only people they are going to be able to sell this to are a few geeks. The general public will find the idea of a keyboard you can't see too scary.
