Back when I used to freelance, here is what I learned: you have to fake it til you make it. :)

I got my first clients by cold-calling. He was probably my two hundredth cold-call. Later that week I ended up with a $1,600 check in my pocket, a 50% deposit on a $3,200 contract.

To what extent do you think its possible to change behaviors like this? That is to say, to what extent do you believe people's reaction to this sort of stuff are innate human behaviors and reactions, and how much is learned through interactions to UIs and can be relearned?

And I agree, I don't see how changing the behaviors would make the world a worse place, but I think if you want to make a case for having the entire industry lead users to certain behavior patterns, an argument should be made for why this is actually improving the web, beyond one person's aesthetic preferences.

Given that OAM is a modulation technique, which is a physical-layer tech, nothing above firmware will even know about it. At most software will be able to read/set a flag enabling use, similar to FX/DX on Ethernet.
I am inclined to think 7 inch will be a let down. Not much different from other big phones. A 10 inch is the least. The 7 inch tablet really has to die IMO. I am looking for a tablet and will get one but never a 7inch. My phone is already almost 4 inches. I don't need a mildly bigger phone. I need a nice big screen which is a joy to watch videos or use flipboard on.
I stand corrected. Pcie can be 4pin (same pinage as usb, power and data pairs) if you drop lane, jtag, smbus and intelligent power support
To this, I'd like to add that once you get those first few clients, get very serious about customer service. Expect to take a call any day at any time, and if you can't, always call back the moment you can. Believe it or not, this alone will put you miles ahead of the competition.
Where does the government derive authority to govern interactions where only half take place inside their borders?
Notes From 'My Life In Scientific Advertising'
FYI I'm not freelancing anymore, so no one accuse me of advertising. I just wanted to provide OP with a real life example...
Similarly, I always tell people that I don't get Dutch Elm Disease. Puts a lot of concerns to rest.
Facebook with public anonymity for your listings would solve most of these problems, as well as go a long way to reducing fraud.

How do you figure that 'Apple figured it out a few years sooner than Microsoft did'?

I don't endorse Windows. But for all Windows' brokenness, Microsoft has not claimed invulnerability to viruses and has put a significant amount of effort into improving security from XP to today. The main reason it has had more trouble with malware is that it has been a much more popular platform, meaning that is where all the victims are.
The title of the article clearly states some of the problems this is trying to solve. E.g., "dust-immune".

Also, they claim the heat sink to be relatively quiet (under 30dBa).
According to them, the air gap provides a thermal resistance on the order of 0.02 C/W. The primary resistance is the fin -> ambient air interface.

This device is also very quiet, based on that video. Assuming their goal of 0.05 C/W resistance is reached, it would perform significantly better than the heatsink you're mentioning.
Cookies and birthday cakes are always welcome. Just don't be the only one bringing them in.

It is however, okay to be the person who organizes everybody else to make sure that people get cards and stuff on their birthdays or other big life events.

If organizing the card and gifts when a cow orker's girlfriend had a baby makes me the office dad, then go clean your room, it's a pig sty.
I fixed this. Now you can't send SMS commands.
Key lesson I learned the hard way:

1 good ongoing client is better than 100 one-off projects with different clients.

There's a huge overhead to finding and onboarding a new client/project. Instead find one good ongoing contract, and put all your extra energy into creating a product that can scale.

Freelancing is a dead end road, but you can use it as a tool to bootstrap your own lifestyle business.

A quick search failed me but I am pretty sure my question has been discussing elsewhere, in which case I would appreciate a redirect/summary. Is there a difference between LightTable and Emacs' eval-last-sexp and similar functions? What is LightTable supposed to add? besides support for Clojure.
It's also much less code. It only really works if you don't care about the content of the response, though you could add an onerror handler that would fire on all error cases.
That isn't what natural talent is supposed to be though. You're good at programming Perl probably because you've practiced more, or you care more and thus have thought about it more. Software writing is a skill which you have honed by practice, not naturality.

I don't know why you can't score A's at math though. It makes no sense to me as to why you can help others get good grades but can't get good grades yourself. It probably means you lack the hours applying through repetitive practice.
Of course, fitting this into a laptop would be problematic as well.
Nice work, Chris! I can't wait to start learning Clojure with it.
Doesn't CAPTCHA help transcribe old books? What does this do?
Here's what the information architect component of a recent project at my firm involved for a major non-profit organization that needed to redesign a site that had not been touched since 2007:

1 - Document and structure the current site map in all its depth and unorganized glory. With over 50+ sections, 75 contributors, and 150,000+ pages, this content inventory was vital to communicate to the client what the current site architecture looked liked.

2 - Consolidate the architecture of the site. We began by overlaying analytics data on the site map to figure out the most popular sections and pages. This led to a series of conversations and recommendations on what to cut and why.

3 - We coupled the analytics data with user research and business requirements to come up with a new site map/site architecture [1]. This site map included renaming wholesale sections, adding new sections to the site based on what users want, and in general, making sure we were as logical as the client would allow us when designing the new site map.

4 - Once the initial site map was put together, we validated this by using TreeJack, a great IA and wayfinding testing tool. Read more about TreeJack on their site to learn what and why this tool is useful.[2]

5 - We iterated on the site map based on TreeJack findings

6 - Once the initial site map and labeling were locked down, then we began discussions on page archetypes and templates. At no point did we sketch or draw UI designs. These discussions were all about the purpose of each section, the user goals they'd satisfy, and what type of content may live on each page.

7 - Once we had the archetypes down and some agreement on the number of sections and templates, then we moved to the wireframing and UI sketching phase.

Obviously, this is just 1 example, and is by no means thorough. But, you'll hopefully realize that the role of an "IA" is absolutely vital for complex projects.

When it comes to building web applications, the IA work we do is different, the artifacts we create are different, but the end goal is still the same, and attempt to organize, simplify, and improve usability.

My experience with exactly this case, internationalization, is that it's best left as late as possible. Precisely because it is a cross-cutting concern, putting it in early on means changing it time and again as the rest of your codebase changes; better to do it when you know what your core code looks like.
Did you try it? For example "Internationalization" becomes "Iｎｔèｒｎáｔìｏｎàｌïｚâｔｉòｎ". If your code did anything bad to the unicode (eg decided codepoints are one byte, stripped high bit) then it would be very obvious.

For my testing I also go to the wikipedia home page and copy the text in the middle of the page which lists how many articles there are in various languages. This is great because it uses a wide variety of code points, including ones greater than 0xffff.
Ah yes, but the article claims that Dalvik has a poor gc.

Could you use this same technology to create an issue page e.g., SOPA and connect voters to their politicians?

This isn't a marketing thing or trying to lock other distributions out, it's about having a simple platform that people can make applications on without having to drink from a firehose.

You are wrong. After getting a special number ( 1-800-288-2020) i was able to order dsl from att without a landline contract and phone taxes from California. Nothing.

Catch is, the advertised price of $25/mo for 6mbps only last one year, and you have to sign up for two years, paying $55/mo on the second.

Still beats paying $40 all around for the crappy cable latency i get here (at One block from the att repeater building!)

I think they exist, but most of them know how unwelcome they are and they keep their mouths shut.

Edit: That came off not sounding how I meant it to. I really mean they keep quiet on various political issues because they know they're underrepresented and will get torn to pieces. I don't think it's actually a hostile, unwelcoming environment otherwise.
I guess the problem with Perl 6 is that it's more of a "fork" than an "increment". Thus, Perl 5.16 (and beyond!).

I met the IA at CSX who is responsible for building their positive train control system mandated after the CSX 8888 incident. We sat next to each other often on our commute from Marine barracks in Okinawa to the planning center for Fukushima. Sounds like trying to design something roughly as complex as designing an automobile, with plenty of prior art in metallurgy, materials, and basic machinery (bearings, screws), but having never seen a vehicle with 4 wheels before.

I also see that "Iｎｔèｒｎáｔìｏｎàｌïｚâｔｉòｎ" breaks in the middle, instead of considering it a word. Is that correct? It may be important for checking your layout. There are also no Asian scripts, nor taller / shorter characters that might overlap if your line spacing is too small.

if every conventional heatsink in the US was replaced with a Sandia Cooler, the country would use 7% less electricity. For the most part, these savings would come from air conditioning and refrigeration systems

How does that work? Is the same amount of heat not being expelled from the chip into the room? Does transferring the heat with a smaller fan somehow make it smaller heat?

When I freelanced I got 100% of my work from referrals. My simple marketing strategy was to:

Finish every project on time.
Finish every project on budget.
Answer all email within an hour (sent during the day).

When you do that, your clients love you and talk about you.

Start with a low hourly rate. When you reach 40 hours booked every week, double your rate. You will loose about half of your clients, but still be making the same amount. If you are good, you will fill it up again. Double it again. Continue with your comfort level.

Perhaps there is a happy medium somewhere between these extremes, though.

What constitutes a GPU "core" is anything but well defined. Heck, people argue about whether the FX-8150 has 8 or 4 cores, but if we were to use NVidia's methodology we'd probably call it 16 or 32 cores. Who knows how Apple counts "cores" in their GPUs.

Awesome - reminds me of that maze screensaver that came with Windows 95/98.
I was guilty, for a time, of flinging 'CAP' around. Matters are, I believe, both simpler and far more complex.

Here's the simplest way I can imagine a scenario. This is very similar to what my company deals with all the time.

Given two, network distant data centers. Requests can land on either datacenter. A request can be a PUT or a GET.

We deal with phone calls, so we have to provide an exceptionally reliable and consistent service.

The problem: a PUT lands in datacenter A. All subsequent GETs have to be consistent with this PUT. Even if they land in datacenter B.

The rest of the problem: datacenters have to be able to function independently. This means that we can't block a PUT while it sync's to the other datacenter. The other datacenter might be down, or there might be some network delay, or whatever.

In my mind, it's simply impossible to have complete consistency and complete reliability when the redundant pieces are WAN connected.(1) One can only approach and approximate this, with more and more hardware, circuits and development complexity.

Is my assertion incorrect? I'm unclear if HyperDex helps me with this problem.

By the way, I'm pretty excited about this product overall. If I wasn't in catch-up mode at work, I'd be hammering out a proof of concept project on it right away. It seems pretty compelling.

And thanks for this offering!

1) I believe a 'thick client' can, almost, solve this problem. Consider some Javascript web app. It can be developed to transparently handle various network partition situations. More or less. But many of our requests allow absolutely no code on the client side. They are standard REST calls.
Not easily. There are a few rare instances where they could cause an error during compilation of code that compiled fine for .net 1.1, and some problems with using tlbimp. I don't think it caused previously compiled code to break though.

In garbage collected languages you really need to keep track of how much garbage you create. I've seen too many examples of people creating objects they really don't need in loops when they could recycle a single one for the entire procedure.

The tea party started out as a libertarian movement. It is no longer. In particular, support for the following positions is typical[0] of tea party politicians:

Drug prohibition, interventionist foreign policy, restrictions on pornography, constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, banning homosexuals in the military, increased domestic surveillance.

All of these positions are in direct conflict with libertarianism and seem typical of American conservatives prior to the formation of the tea party movement.

[0] These seem to me to be typical, though I didn't conduct a survey. To help compile the list, I used http://www.ontheissues.org/senate/Marco_Rubio.htm

> This means classes with a better implementation can just override Count() and suffer none of the problems of the extension method approach.

Instance methods are bound before extension methods, if someone provides an implementation of Count() in a subclass it'll be invoked instead (provided your reference is typed appropriately). More narrow extension methods are bound before general ones, so you can even "override" within extension methods.

Scala has some neat stuff, but it's not Java 8 so I don't see how it's relevant.

> Btw, C# has some limited form of implicits, too, but I haven't seen any serious usage of them for a while.

C# has implicit conversion operators you can define, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/z5z9kes2(v=vs.100).a... . You'd better have a really good reason for defining one though, silent conversions are generally frowned upon.
