well, i suppose that is why a lot of people quit their jobs in the first place.

But if you really MUST stay with the job, get co-founders to help out. But it "might" be difficult finding a passionate co-founder who will understand why you cant quit a mediocre job to focus on YOUR own dream

Taxi Kuala Lumpur
If you are bound for a trip in Malaysia and yet to figure a way how to reach your hotel from the airport, taxis serve as a good resort. You need not worry about getting lost in the city while commuting, as the cab driver can drop you off to your destination. Once you have received your ticket voucher, all you have to do is to wait for the next taxi Kuala Lumpur and present your ticket to the driver.

"That’s a lot of trouble being caused by a two-line function. C may be a small language, but it’s not a simple one."
I disagree. C is very simple. You need to know C is not suppoused to work the same on platform and I guess behaviour you have tested is not defined by standard. I think every good C programmer know when he have to be causious because behaviour may be platform dependent. In matter of fact you did as well. I guess case you've studdied is not common to be used in real code. If so, there is very easy solution:

#if ((char)CHAR_MAX) + 1 > ((char)CHAR_MAX)
/* some code here */
#else
/* some code here */
#endif

There is no problem to me.
Which is of course a thinking error, he meant: "As with all things, the first 90% took the first 90% of the time, and then the remaining 10% took the second 90% of the time.".
I've had all sorts of experiences: fired people who were good but their minds were elsewhere, fired bad people that shouldn't have been hired; I have waited too long to fire someone, and also I have kept people I intended to fire and seen them improve.

Outside of the obvious cases you cite, firing should be the end of a process, not an isolated action. As soon as you start having real doubts about the performance or fitness of an employee, have at least two meetings with them to discuss the issues and create improvement plans and actions, before resorting to firing them. Those meetings are hard to approach correctly, but not as hard as actually firing the person, so please do not wait to have them, and make the most out of them. They will not just benefit the employee (clarifying your expectations of them), but often also yourself (understanding your own mistakes as a manager).

The Warsaw Uprising museum (http://www.1944.pl/) is well worth a visit. For a long time this history was suppressed as it didn't fit in with the prevailing orthodoxy that the Red Army did all the liberating. The existence of the museum is the culmination of many years of work by people like my grandmother, who also took part in the uprising, in preserving the history and pushing for its recognition.

Couldn't the "show of hands" just be genuine interest in knowing about your audience? For example say you give a speech on a similar topic once a year and ask for a show of hands; you can see how responses change over the years. You can even share this with the audience as an interesting side note. "When I used to give these talks 5 years ago almost nobody raised their hands, now it's almost all of you" or whatever the case.
I tried this out because I know a little French and would like to know more.

I was first put off becuase when "Je suis de Anchorage" (which I'm pretty sure is not idiomatic anyway) was expected, "Je suis d'Anchorage" (which is correct within the scope of the already unidiomatic expectations) was not allowed. Granted, French is still in beta.

performance in concurrent tasks (cheap task switch, cheap process spawn, actors model, ...)

scalability - debatable in current state , but rapidly evolving

Yeah, that' true. I speak (better or worse) 5 languages and thinking in each of them is pretty different. :) The most interesting thing i found there are very few words that would have exaclty the same meaning in two different language. For instance, even the simpliest english words like "go" or "cat" doesn't have exact translations in polish. The exception i know are slavic languages, they are very similar to each other. Anyway set of available meanings in laguage has pretty big impact on what we think.
Fixed function is no easier to make safe than shaders so that's a false assumption.

OpenGL ES 1.1 on JavaScript would be a joke. Do you really think JavaScript is up to tens of thousands of

glVertex
glColor
glNormal

calls per model per frame?

The rest of the graphics world left OpenGL 1.x long ago. OpenGL 4.0 has none of the fixed function stuff in it anymore either.

Using fixed function features in 2012 is like using oldskool 80s BASIC with line numbers and no functions as your programming language.

It's time to move on.

You and the article are missing several things, Germany is already one of the most energy efficient industrial country in the world and the regulations are drastically forcing companies and people to save energy. Houses which are built nowadays are nearly passive house and this by law. Also, the German bank for development is giving everybody around 100k€ loan at about 1% to improve the energy efficiency of old and new houses.

Germans are extremely serious about energy use and savings and they know how to do an energy balance. I wish this level of engineering would cross the border to France a bit more often.
OpenGL ES is for "embedded systems" which basically means phones. That means inefficient programming drains the battery. Sure if jwz want's to punish his user's I guess that's his prerogative but it seems like a good decision to provide an API that discourages bad practices.

Basically they decided to get rid of the cruft. OpenGL 1.x was designed in 1992? GPUs fundamentally changed in the mid 2000s and the decisions made for OpenGL 1.x no longer fit.

If you want 1.1 go contribute to this project.

To quote Max Levchin (on #2):

The standard specifies that ++x is equivalent to x+=1, and that the value of an assignment expression like x+=1 is "the value of the left operand after the assignment" (and that "the type of an assignment expression is the type of the left operand").

So, since x is of type char, the expression ++x has type char and its value is the value of x after the assignment, so it must be in the range CHAR_MIN to CHAR_MAX.

I agree with you that if you only get an EROI of 6.5, that's in itself just barely worth it. But to be fair, things are changing really fast. The United States has just added import taxes on Chinese solar panels, to prop up the US solar industry, from 30 to 250 percent depending on the manufacturer. This seems to me a really obvious sign that solar cells are getting a _lot_ cheaper. This might or might not change the energy question, but the economic viability of solar cells is getting better. Can't find the source on this, but I read somewhere that the newest Chinese solar panels are clearly economically viable even without subsidies.

The role of a manager is not to determine the fire-worthiness of current employees. Putting employees in front of a firing squad on a regular basis and having "half-fired" employees working in a state of limbo would murder company morale.

Any good employee would be out the door as soon as they were handed a "second chance". They would use that chance just long enough to find a better job, if they didn't quit outright. Truly "bad" employees would likely stick around (lack of motivation to move, inability to move, spite, etc) and wreak havoc on your business.

Firing is sometimes a business decision, sometimes due to someone actually doing harm to your business but often the last in a series of management failures. It's a last resort but if you've reached that point just get it over with.
Every problem has a solution which is simple, elegant, and doesn't work. This is it.

You misunderstand my point about length. I'm completely aware that there are plenty of APIs that have been supported far longer than Win<anything>. That's not what I'm talking about.

What I'm wondering is this: Has there ever been an API with a longer deprecation period than Win16? Remember, Microsoft announced the deprecation in 1995 (IIRC), but it didn't start to bite until 64-bit Windows mattered (you could draw the line at some server versions, Vista, or, as I do, at Windows 7). No matter how you slice it, that's a long time.
Ask HN: is HTML5 ready to takeover LaTeX in academic publishing?
Being a Ph.D. student and an HTML5 enthusiast, I have been thinking about this matter for a while; I am now turning the question to you as I haven't been able to find a convincing answer yet.

HTML5 is the lingua franca of web, it is lightweight, easy to modify, presentation is separated from content (i.e. the same article could be published on conferences, journals, websites without recompiling the code, by just changing the CSS, and the appearance would fit nicely in the media), has support for math, images (most raster and vector formats) video, audio, links, tables, extensive support for typography and can be consumed on almost every device on Earth. So, apart from the obvious inertia, why hasn't HTML5 superseded LaTeX in academic publishing yet? What's the key feature that is still missing? Also, how a mass switch from LaTeX to HTML5 would affect academic publishing?

Have your say.
Sometimes the right person to fire is one who doesn't compensate for management's shortcomings.
Apple developers need to sign a NDA with the creation of an developer account. These videos are under NDA cause it is beta software and confidential. This is the reason why you need an account to watch those videos.

BUT even if they weren't under NDA this is totally ok! Going to the conference would have cost you minimum 1 week time and >1500$. You get all of this for free after only four days the conference happened. The only thing they ask for is an account and you are complaining about this? I will never understand such attitude!
I'm pretty sure Siri would react similarly if you asked it about 9/11 or D-Day. It's a helpful personal assistant, not an encyclopedia, and I haven't seen any Apple ads mentioning that you can ask it about specific events in history.

The directions thing is curious, I'll give you that, but then again, it might just be because of the dev beta.

>I don't see this happening at many (or any) companies

It's exactly how the process works in the UK, at least below executive levels. Not least because it's the easiest way to obtain the proof of incompetence required to demonstrate that the firing was done fairly.
Yes, I am aware - it is an interesting project. However, it's a couple of steps farther away from JavaScript than I would want to work with.

Modern GPUs have to put the vertices in vram before they can render them.

That means immediate mode emulation is effectively this

everyframe:
a) copy all vertices from user code to some cpu buffer
b) at draw time, copy cpu buffer to vram
c) ask GPU to draw

steps A and B are very expensive CPU wise as well as waste memory.

vs OpenGL ES 2.0

init time:
put vertices in vram

I don't think I'm so much deflecting the question as much as just highlighting that Github is a special case, so one should take extra care when translating their insights and lessons to one's business.

Github is a product for geeks (few of those take off), build by a founder team consisting exclusively of uber-geeks, with the exact right timing (wasn't possible before, and someone else would have done git hosting later - and did, but less well), in a winner-takes-all market (which, to be fair to them, they engineered - source code hosting didn't use to be a winner-takes-all market, but github's social features made it so). Moreover, Github lent itself very well to a viral spread model (doesn't work in most cases, and is hard to bolt on to an unsuitable product), and so had less need for sales efforts than most B2B products.

I'm not putting down Github's team (they executed brilliantly), or even the lessons that they garnered - those are worthwhile lessons to pay attention to and learn from. However, be careful when translating those to your startup, which is probably a very different beast and may crash and burn if you just apply Github's lessons directly!

Firings often come down to differences in expectations. Sometimes those differences arise due to communication failures by both the manager and the employee. I don't see "second chances" as "half firings". I see it as an opportunity to reset expectations appropriately, and if there are still differences, then action must be taken.
Sorry to hear that.

Just because people are over you in an organization doesn't mean they are wise and mature. Of course, if you are in the position to hire and fire then you get to make reality to some extent because you have more power. The employee has to pretend the boss knew what they were doing even afterward on penalty of being blackballed. It's not so easy to get an employer blackballed because somebody else always needs the money. And the culture says that a complaining employee is a liability, and if someone was fired or not hired then there is probably a good reason not to hire them.

Hiring and firing are just another job, and they are done by the same smart, average and stupid people doing other jobs. Let's not pretend that these decisions only ever depend on sound, objective calls completely grounded in consideration of facts and business.
