How To Avoid Equidistant HSV Colors
Started typing BASIC from my ZX81 manual because the machine could do little otherwise, moved on to a bit more on the C64 but it really kicked off when I got an Amiga. A lot of games in AMOS and then after weeks of delicate preparation, convinced my parents to buy me a book that was a spin-off of an Amiga mag, it came with the full version of Dice C (£25 was a lot of money for a book for a 14 year old!).

Later I got a C compiler off a PC mag and dabbled with that, moved on to Delphi and then by the time the internet made an appearance in my household I began with the HTML and shortly afterwards Perl and then PHP. It was only at this point that I started learning "properly". I guess partly because it was time and partly because it was the first time I ever had some level of access to best practices, theory and whatnot.
why it doesn't work on my iPhone if it's html5?
Yes you could, I've been experimenting with running a server on arm for a couple of months and its surprisingly capable.

Node works well on arm because of all the effort google make for v8 to run well in Android
Blue-collar? I think he means middle-class white-collar. You're not blue-collar if you're sitting at a desk in an air-conditioned office tapping at keys in a suit, even if you wish you were paid more and want to complain.

There's an automatic conversion to int* when necessary, but the array is nominally a distinct type. This is particularly apparent in C++ where you can do things like instantiate a template from the array type and create a compile-time function to return the number of elements.

Whether "it's expensive" depends entirely on the market. There are markets (developing countries, education) where tripling the total cost of the setup, compared to using a monitor you already have, is significant.

It also seems pretty much bullshit, I opened the page in chrome and the doodle doesn't seem to do anything but link to the "Bob Moog" search in either browser.
Let's talk about Google, then. In addition to having special ways of displaying results for different types of searches (local, geo, weather, shopping, etc.), there are also a lot of different heuristics underlying the search results. It's not just PageRank-and-done, it's many different approaches trying to maintain a uniform level of quality across a variety of niches.

I'll repeat that again: it's not the approach that's homogeneous, it's the quality.

You can see this with Apple, too. Their devices aren't limited to some set number of use-cases, it provides an API and ecosystem for creating new, domain-specific applications. You mention Objective-C in your response, which is kind of missing the point; we're talking about domain-specific applications, not domain-specific languages. LightTable will presumably be very consistent and general at the API level, and uses Clojure, which is a general-purpose language as well.

As for Amazon, their offerings span the entire spectrum from general to domain-specific. You can get an empty VM, but you can also get something like Elastic MapReduce. Amazon will happily develop domain-specific products on top of their platform as long as there's a large enough market.

Finally, look at Rails, which is a framework specifically for creating web apps. It doesn't help me write a new NoSQL server, it doesn't help me write a new AAA video game, it seems to be doing okay all the same. It's used because it's a really effective lever in certain, specific cases. If we can have a development environment which is a similarly large lever across a wide range of cases, how could that ever be a bad thing?

I was assuming the value being optimized for was runway, so a conservative estimate overshoots on probable fully-loaded cost which results in underestimating how long you have until you die. Overestimating how long until you die has more serious consequences from the perspective of, well, everyone involved.

Not a single one works for me, Chrome or not.

I was in a slump. Then I worked on my own project and published it. Something I'd never done before. Almost immediately after I was given a nice contract paid in full up front for what amounted to not even that much work. Shortly after I published something great on github and it got forked a ton of times.

I think you overstate the amount of useful data Facebook has on people. Just to take your example: Facebook may very well know which state I live in, but they definitely don't know whether I'm left handed, for example.

On the other hand, Google might very well know this, if, say, I have searched for left handed golf clubs. Amazon would also know this, if I have bought said clubs through them. Google and Amazon almost certainly also know which state I live in (hell Google might know exactly where I am at any given moment if I have an Android phone).

So really I don't think Facebook is in an enviable position at all compared to companies like Amazon and Google.

"[...] they need to come up with a way to provide a compelling "We manage your online data for you." offering that a majority of their users would pay for"

What data? Dropbox and now Google back up all your files and documents, for FREE, now! How could they compete with this with a free service, let alone a paid one?

And from a privacy standpoint people trust Facebook far less than Google or Dropbox. There is an implicit assumption that anything shared with Facebook will some way or another be shared with one's Facebook friends. (People aren't ignorant of the way Facebook has tried to trick them into accepting more liberal privacy settings over the years.) Facebook would have to work very very hard to change this perception before a data storage service would ever take off.

I know many developers are building proximity/stalking apps but to me this is creepy. However this may well have appeal to help others find hotspots of activities or events.

Good luck.
I'll admit this idea of political-social alienation/separation is a very abstract notion, and usually meritless in terms of immediate practicality. But you've demonstrated the reality of the notion itself: "I have plenty of Politics in my life without it needing every fibre of my life to be infused with it, thank you very much."

The claim is that "politics" as a social activity separate from universal, daily human life is artificial and an accident of modern society. That is, in the Marxian ideal you would never think "politics in my life"—that distinction between "politics" and "my life" would be a meaningless concept, since "politics" would be a nonexistent concept. You are already an inherently social being, and politics is just a particular abstraction of that sociality which seems like a good idea in modern society but prevents an "ideal" society (for many formulations of "ideal").

Think about it this way: when you vote, you are acting socially through politics. When you perform a business transaction, you are acting socially through economics. When you go to work (or leisure) with people of different opinions, you are acting socially in a way that we generally just describe as social. All these things are inherently intertwined, but modern society has done a good job making them seem separate and distinct; it has invented terms to distinguish the first two types of social activity, and has imposed rules on them. The third example doesn't have another word because it isn't consciously regulated by society—there is no abstraction for day-to-day interactions with other people. Thus, a Marxian ideal sees no abstraction for any other types of interactions with other people. They all collapsed into one: there is no politics or economics, which are abstractions of sociality.

I'm not proposing any particular change in modern society that would bring politics "into" your life, merely presenting a way of thinking about politics and sociality that explains why child nutrition (and numerous other social problems) are not also political problems.

"Dont forget to call me, maybe."
Learned Basic from my computer's manual, learned assembly from magazines.

I took some "computer programming" class in high school, but computers were still new-fangled to the faculty and it was entirely self-directed. I used the time to make a game in assembly on the school's Model III. There were PC Jrs for a broader computer literacy class, but I never used those.

In college, I started as a physics major and hence learned Fortran. Dropped out for a couple of years, went back as a CS major. Then was exposed to many things; C, C++, Prolog, Ada. But Pascal was the workhorse of the curriculum.

First job out of college was C (legacy projects) and C++ (new projects). And Visual Basic for some quick and dirty things.

Worked as a programmer for a while. Stopped. Did something else for many years. The last year or so I've been retraining myself. Played with Erlang and Clojure, but nothing serious. Made a couple of toy Android apps with Java. Wrote some simple Atari 2600 things using an emulator. Working through an idea for a site with Python/Django at the moment.

I'd like to work as a programmer again, I think. Or more accurately, I really enjoy being able to build things.

I feel most at home in C++ still, but I find myself using Python to try out ideas more and more as time goes on. Assembly still makes me happy, but I don't really use it for anything.
The comments on the site are ridiculous.

But for a given e, that probability goes to zero as n goes to infinity, or as n goes to infinity, the e required to be within a given delta of 50% gets smaller. In other words, choose your step size in an optimisation. As n gets larger, the chances of it working get smaller. In even moderately large dimensions the step sixe required is so small, you don't make any progress.
Good post, but I'll say this: You are very employable and your concern about lacking a Stanford or MIT degree is laughably misplaced. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that silicon valley start-ups are the entirety of the programming employment world, it is far from the truth.

I enjoy programming. I was a developer working several years for different companies. I partnered in a software company where I was the technical guy.

I lost fun in programming and now I'm a freelance project manager. For programming I didn't had a off switch. When there was a problem to solve I solved it even if it was until 3 in the morning. When having a wife and kids this is not what they expect from a husband or father. As a project manager as soon as I'm home the switch is off.

Lessons learned is that what you do with passion can consume you. Which is not for everyone.
You don't have to go to the Valley if you don't want to. I'm sure that, with a little time spent building and shipping code representing what you're capable of, you'd be perfectly able to find a job writing code in Jacksonville, assuming you're interested in staying.
Reread the suit. She claims he harassed her "over a period of years". But during that period, she slept with him consensually! If you don't see how that detonates Ellen Pao's claim that his advances were unreciprocated (i.e. that they were "harassment"), not sure what to say.

Is "harassment" just "I felt mad at him years later" or is there any precise definition you're working from? Because if you define harassment as "unwanted advances", they objectively weren't unwanted back in 2006.
> I’ve been programming on and off -- mostly off -- since I was 12 years old and I continually find myself in situations where programming is just downright boring to me.

No need to put pressure on yourself. The market is crying out for talented and enthusiastic people. Don't know your job history but imagine if you're willing, there is a job or project out there to keep you motivated.
Nokia handsets were quite functional at the time iPhone appeared. E.g. Python for S60 is older than iPhone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_for_S60). Apple brought a lot of innovations to smartphone market but functionality is not one of them.
Government provided <anything> will never work fine. Because that is always subjected to bureaucracy, processes and averaging. You will always have lowest averaged quality, because things are always subject to costs, bidding and all other kinds of processes involved to maintain sanity during administrative control. And this is considering every body works with honesty. While the fact is with no quality control and regulation it becomes easy to serve bad quality food for some profit in return. Or it can always be worked with bribes.

These sort of things serve a perfect mess for bribe business and other sort of bureaucratic shit.

Also like so many people have mentioned, its not governments job to provide food to your kid. In fact I find it scary that governments run and set school syllabus. Schools and education form perfect weapons for brain washing. Ideally schools must be private run, with regulations.

Work experience doesn't prove anything either. People can lie about their credentials. People can have very easy jobs. People can be hated by all of their coworkers. "I worked at X company for Y years" means exactly nothing to me.

"So here we are. I’m sitting here, with a cigarette in hand (I said slowly), pondering what makes me tick. It’s a weird feeling. You think you know yourself, but the truth is that people lie about how they feel so often that they end up lying to themselves without realizing it. And, maybe, that’s what happened to me. Maybe I’ve been kidding myself all along"

You have been lying to yourself and you are living in denial. That cigarette is killing you. Your health is _everything_, why put it at risk.

Healthier food isn't tasty either. But our brain perceives anything non tasty as unhealthy.

That's where things get messed up. Healthy + tasty food is actually expensive.
Many people implement it wrong. The best programmers know how to check their work, and will be asked during the interview to check.

Who doesn't know that (x + y) / 2 can overflow?

But the people who you really want to filter out have no idea or intuition that a problem can be solved by slicing it into two. That's the key idea behind binary search (and indeed, much of computer science).

"Which is a very good reason that his argument doesn't make sense. Naturalism is silly, as is separating things as "human-created" or "man-made" versus "natural". It all comes out of the same matter of the universe."

And it is part of the human story to use tools/manipulate their environment. However, when you abandon the idea of 'natural' you also loose the reassurance of some kind of limit to our particular random walk. The human journey could lead to our destruction, or to a life among the stars. We have to work on internal evidence and read the data we have effectively.
