Mark Zuckerberg and those engineers made this customer service representative a millionaire. She repays them by trashing them in the Wall Street Journal.

There is nothing wrong with something "unrepentantly boyish", anything more than there is something wrong with women's only schools. Working class men don't go around apologizing for doing difficult construction jobs, white collar men need to stop apologizing for doing the difficult programming jobs.

This woman was in customer service. She was lucky to be put on the Facebook rocket ship. So too was Sheryl Sandberg, a nontechnical and obviously ultrapolitical operator, placed on third base as COO yet thinks she hit a triple. Both Losse and Sandberg consider themselves "women in tech". They're not. They're "women on tech", women carried on the backs of real technologists, male and female alike.
I've written a blog post once, dreaming about having a backup of my brain put on S3 and working as a programmer on(in?) a EC2 instance to earn enough money to keep Amazon from (killing?) discontinuing the service for me.
Now I see that this is much closer to reality than I thought.

Interesting how young programmers would compete with a guy who can work 24/7 and have 250 years of professional experience...
I agree that this isn't a copyright issue. If you're operating in California, the 9th Circuit is probably your best bet for holding that your scraping of their data doesn't damage or impair their computer system. But given your other comments, it is unlikely you want to raise the funds or spend the time to battle it out in court.

But there is an another way - let us (all of us) get the Craigslist data for you. You could create a browser plugin that would save craigslist posts a user views, and then upload only those posts to a central database that feeds padmapper. With just 1,000 users you would get most but not all the data you currently are scraping.

This is the same approach used by Recap (https://www.recapthelaw.org/) as a response to the federal government's paywall to access public court filings.
Well seeing as the data can be mined straight through their APIs, (most of the data), its not really that hard to at least get started.

IIRC there was a website, the _____ goblin or so, which monitored every commodity on the auction house of each shard/battlegroup.

Heck, the Poster above saying that the wow economy is simpler than EVE may not be accounting for things like cross server arbitrage, which bring the complexity levels a bit higher.

This is about consumer choice: Motorola clearly does not have any device which effectively competes with the iPhone. Further, allowing Motorola to pick and choose who it competes against (remember, they are arguing that, as the holder of a patent required to implement a standards-compliant device, they get to play gatekeeper for the mobile phone market) is plainly against the interests of the consumer.
Too bad it's iOS >= 5 only.. That basically makes this unusable for me.
It's a destructive process, soooo, you might want to hold out for a while.

Yup, I've seen this as well, way too often. Rather than a function, you get a class, rather than arguments you get constructor parameters, and then the get stuck at what to name the method that actually does anything.

One useful point to take away from this is it helps to have an "adult"[1] in a high level position, to whom sensitive concerns can be brought to and dealt with in a discreet, sober, and careful fashion.

Cerego Labs: A New Platform For Building Better Learning Apps
Pointing to the documentation does not work in this case. The documentation shows the user was not sticking to the function specs, yes, but neither does PHP most of the time. If PHP were a consistent (serious) language, I might see your point. It's not: it generally aims for leniency and minimum (well, small) surprise but doesn't seem to be doing it this time. I think you should make your argument clear.
Interesting article. Some people have questioned what the point of it was. I saw it as this:

A. Enter male to female ratio of 1:50
B. Experience some things that felt wrong/daunting
C. New manager entered scene and "fixed things"

I wonder if the fact the manager (Sheryl Sandberg) was female
made a big impact on the resulting fixes.

Would a different manager have done the same? Possibly not
unless either they thought about it from reading about an
article or having been in a similar position at say Froogle.

Really interesting and I think it brings up the something
that we as people should start doing more. Ask questions
if something seems wrong or potentially off. Even
if we're not a "manager" or not female. To at the very
least try to promote `good`.

It's good for stories such as these to circulate as hopefully
it will speed up the dilution of sexist issues we keep
hearing of. And by dilution I mean the hopeful removal of
this problem entirely.
Will Sudan Pull a Mubarak?
No offense, but that comes off as extremely conceited.
No, the argument against injunctive relief was far more complicated and complete than that quote implies. Apple didn't seek relief for loss of royalties, which would give them tangible benefits for injunctive relief. Posner argues that Apple's pursuit of injunctive relief is an attempt at a punitive action in disguise. An "invent around" is trivial in a specific case, and the logistics of forcing of such an invent around would give Apple no benefit other than the punishing of Motorola is the issue.

It might not hurt to give scanning the opinion a try. Call me crazy, but I enjoy reading these things.

Motorola's request for injunctive relief is a different animal than the Apple request at issue in spacestation's comment. The denial of Motorola's request involves their own claim/classification of their patent as necessary for all cell phones and therefore subject to a fairly licensed classification (FRAND.) Posner seems pretty amenable to a mechanical license in that case, but Motorola failed to provide evidence of a fair price for such a mechanism. Further, he suggests Apple has invented around this patent anyway and it isn't actually 'necessary.'
Is there a rock bottom hackernews will reach for leaning on shockingly bad analogies to make a point?
couldn't agree more.
i've tried to write my own scraper in the past to make the search more usable (at least show photos from each post next to the link so that i don't have to click through to every single link to see what pieces are for sale) and i was quickly blocked. keep in mind this was not a public site viewed by 100's of people. it was me making one search worth of individual link requests a couple times. blocked. its craigslist way or nothing.
Larry Ellison's Lanai Island Purchase: What Will Happen To The Island
Oh well nevermind, if craigslist make a lot of money from doing something than I certainly don't want anyone else innovating and taking their business away. We as consumers need to fight for businesses right to never have to compete with anyone else and freeze others out of the market via legal threats.
I would love to have someone talk my ear off about the technology behind google's SOA. I have a little bit of experience in the area and the different solutions people come up with for the problems are fascinating.
It's bad code alright. But I would argue that any code you write in a bad language turns into bad code, no matter how you do it. It might be good enough for your application, so that's fine. But it would be bad nonetheless. And PHP is not a sane language by any measure. So here we have a bad code author dealing with it's bad languague's shortcomings and expecting that they be solved by the very people who created said bad language in the first place. Quite entertaining.
If you complete round two, the bunny still links to the same fibonacci sequence program.

:-( I was hoping for something even more obscure.
Yeah, last startup I worked at was two founders in their 20s with a head of operations who wanted to bang every chick who came in the office. Couldn't exactly make HR complaints to the head of HR when there was no one responsible around. Never working somewhere without a "responsible adult" honestly.
Are you basing your determination from reading Judge Posner's opinion or the tech writer's summary at arstechnica?
Because it's highly beneficial to people that use craigslist, including the people that list properties. Craigslist is only hurting itself!
Somebody like Sheryl sounds scary. The article makes it look like she handles private complaints she agrees with by stealth and doesn't even let the offending parties know the reason they were attacked.

Also when you work in a place that has too many 'adults', they can discount you because of your youth.
I'm calling bull. Contributing to a company's success is NOT the exclusive purchase of programmers, nor (as some appear to conflate it) men who program.

And, to be clear, there is something unambiguously wrong for a male supervisor to roam the workplace trying to push lesser-ranked employees into sexual acts;

worse, for the behavior to go on long enough until SOMEONE (again, by your analysis, a 'woman on tech') thought it was worth fixing. Even if she had to use all that dreaded 'political operations-ing' to make it right.
Companies are not free to do whatever they want. The government compels monopolists to avoid anticompetitive behavior, and even breaks companies up, for examples. The market in this case is a little hard to define, since apartment seekers aren't purchasing the product, so I'm sure it's not actually illegal, but it sure seems to violate the spirit of these laws, which are designed to protect consumers from exactly this kind of behavior.
FWIW Craigslist is a ghost town in Australia and virtually useless for buying & selling the type of stuff I used it for frequently when I lived in California. For example here's the furniture for sale section for Melbourne: http://melbourne.craigslist.com.au/fua/. Seems that in Australia people use Gumtree.com.au or even ebay.com.au for online classifieds.
I have a feeling that a significant legacy mistake is going to keep SVG from wide use for years after it's ready.

No, I don't mean IE. I mean Photoshop. When every problem looks like a stack of raster layers... well, among other things, vector graphics aren't going to easily come out of that.

OTOH: maybe SVG will help pull us out of the unfortunate accident of history that's meant that Photoshop is used for web layout, but I'd bet we'll see convoluted export procedures before we say a wholesale shift to vector tools....at least, that's the historical pattern.
Perhaps it was not like this when PHP was created, but it surely has been for a long while now: Idiots are now PHP's target audience be it by design or by its own faults. So if Rasmus Lerdorf still maintains PHP then he should not get angry by the kind of users he chose and/or deserves.
Khan Academy should hire that person.

Typical of Authoritarian regime that is very worried about popular unrest. As Mao has said, "Power flows from the barrel of a gun".
I must admit that I'm surprised $.browser is going to disappear in 1.9, not because removing it is a bad thing, but because of the number of scripts that is going to break. Current jQuery UI, Bootstrap etc all use $.browser. There is presumably plenty of time before 1.9 for library authors to address this, but I can certainly see a lot of breakage coming.
Cool... And please excuse my tone, as after re-reading I realize it might have sounded negative. I just honestly didn't know if there was a use case I was missing.

There are many screencasts available on the net, paid and free. The best ones happen to be free.

Drew Neil's screencasts at http://vimcasts.org/ are laser-cut, focused and short. Each video is about one or two specific use-case so you don't get overwhelmed by dozens of "cryptic" commands. The production value is amazing (not in the Michael Bay meaning of the word).

Derek Wyatt's Vim Tutorial Videos at http://www.derekwyatt.org/vim/vim-tutorial-videos/ are the opposite: messy, lighthearted, funny, hysterical and packed with gold nuggets. You'll probably need to watch them a few times if you really want to extract practical knowledge.

Peepcode has three Vim-related screencasts but I think they are really bad, specially the "Play-by-Play" one.

Yes. Vim is not a weekend project. There's no way you can reach your previous level of productivity in one weekend or two.

May I suggest you, based on my own experience, to not install any plugin and not copy someone else .vimrc? Play around with $ vimtutor, exercise on random files (not on serious stuff), read the help (:help<Enter>), watch a bunch of screencasts to get the feel of what it's all about.

After the weekend is over you will either be craving for more or be disgusted.

Consider both outcomes as a succes and move on to the next step.
Ugh...python packaging, it makes my head hurt every time I have to figure out how it works again. This is something that Ruby got very right, how could Python be such a mess?

Wow. Is this the attitude that people in SV usually have/tolerate towards women? No wonder there are so many complaints. Somehow 'doing difficult programming jobs' entitles you to act shabbily towards women? And somehow she needs to be thankful for all this? Wow, just wow.
There was the ACM Turing 100 conferences last week, but you had to register a while ago. It was a really great celebration, with interventions by a lot of Turing prices (Don Knuth, Vint Cerf, etc.).

Honestly when it comes to the subject of women's issues in frat boy tech cultures I've seen people on this site post (and vote up) some stupid f'ing shit, but you may have just won the triple crown with this absolute sexist entilted load of crap. I love how you ended it with "male and female" just so you could feel a bit better about yourself in the morning.

I liked the two whackos interviewing one another:

BF: They offered me at one point the job of Finance Minister of Japan.
DW: Finance minister of Japan. Right.
BF: They also, believe it or not, offered me General Electric and General Motors.
DW: Like you would be the CEO, or something?
BF: Yeah, and I guess the chief shareholder. The problem, of course,
is I had to go along with their plan to kill four billion people.

I was very happy that the School of Engineering allowed me to avoid humanities classes. I didn't much care for them. This was a common attitude among my classmates.
I like Sci-Fi and sometimes I fantasize with a world where brains have become (non-self-conscious) processing power connected to a big terminal; with such a vast amount of analytic power that you can brute-force 100 billions of passwords in one second and where you can focus the abstract thinking (aka creativity) of all the brains into one specific problem; leading to a lot of new discoveries.
At that time there was no way to put a pin in the settings to stop purchasing... at least with the current os version that was on the phone.
Leiningen probably has its root from Maven, which IMHO the killer tool for Java. I've done .NET, a bit of Python, and RoR development/toying/experimentation in the past, and you need Bundler+Rake+RubyGem (at least) to emulate the core (important) feature of Maven.
I don't know about you, but I have had down periods in my life, when I wasn't actually producing anything of value. If we actually used a barter economy then I would starve, or be reduced to sweating in a field growing plants. But since we live in a world where money is transferrable and credit is obtainable, I can weather those periods just fine and live in a decent house with air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter.

The best evidence that people really like to have transferrable currencies is that they develop independently in just about every market in the world. For example, ancient Africans used Cowry shells. Players of the videogame Diablo 2 used a particular ring, the Stone of Jordan.

While there's certainly fraud and even systemic failure at times, it's hard not to appreciate all that liberal economics has done for our quality of life.
Kika's analogy is also incorrect. What PadMapper does is takes a picture of information like a book, recipe, source code, etc. and then posts it on the Internet so that people can consume the information without going to Craigslist's website.

This is without the permission of Craigslist or of the original submitter or the content.

Tech people I know generally agree that patents and copyright stifle innovation.

Do you not know any "tech people" who are fond of the GPL? It relies on copyright to function. The same goes for enforcing the attribution requirement with Creative Commons.

There are a lot of things I would like to see changed in both copyright and patent law. I am a proponent of a "thin copyright" similar to that proposed by Siva Vaidyanathan, and I believe that software patents do not fit into the current system at all. I think eliminating the legal recognition of intellectual property entirely, however, would be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

It's easy to miss the point with the bearkskin rug thing. It's worth spelling out: a workplace which tolerates sexual harassment (senior supervisor known to proposition all the women at the company), or forces its female employees to go through backchannels to deal with sex-driven workplace hostility?

It's less that the 'employees weren't nice people' and more that this employee was powerless to reign in patterns of offensive/illegal/errant behavior.

Still it wouldn't be so necessary to focus on, _except_ for all the crap being thrown in here to accept/defend it.

Replying to myself - but thinking about it further, there is something a little ironic about the result of removing $.browser in that testing for certain behaviour can in fact increase code size in libraries. For example testing the rendering behaviour of how scrollbar width is added to containers (simplifying the problem somewhat) is something we know happens in IE6/7, which is a nice easy line of jQuery at the moment, but actually testing for it will introduce more code into libraries which can no longer use these properties.

I still don't think it is a bad thing to remove $.browser since it does encourage good code practice, but there is a lovely irony that to decrease code size in jQuery core, plug-ins will likely need to have increase their size.
Maybe they should have done this in 2001 when the classified market collapsed and newsprint prices skyrocketed?

I was there for the first collapse.

Amazon's experience was a natural fit for PaaS systems. Amazon moved to a service oriented architecture years ago. And that meant that individual teams were responsible for the deployment of their services on hardware. That led to the creation of automation that made that sort of thing easy. Being able to add or remove servers from a deployment group, being able to press a button and push out a build to an entire cluster of machines simultaneously, that sort of thing. Amazon took their experience building those internal tools and built a similar set of systems and tools (AWS) that would be suitable for both internal use and for selling as a service to the public. And it's done well on both of those fronts, AWS has been successful and amazon internally has migrated a significant amount of their back-end services and website front-end hosting to AWS.

The thing with round rect buttons is not that they're irreconcilably ugly, but that they're only meant to be used in pinstriped table views. It's rare to see them used correctly anymore since pinstripes are dead as a popular design style in third-party apps. (The original Tweetie 2 was a notable exception.)

Instead they just get used because they're the only freely placable styled button in Interface Builder.
