It's not a Windows-style maximize button. It's a "fit window to content button". It's being a good neighbor in a multitasking environment. Instead of taking up an entire screen for no reason, the window only takes up the space it requires.

If everyone started out on OS X and then went to Windows, people would be whining that the middle button takes up the entire screen when they don't want it to.
US courts have already ruled that the 5th ammendment does not apply to crypto keys. The court said that it was like requiring someone to hand over the keys to a container, etc.
Flesh it out, take on Richard Morgan. :)
The VS2010 MSVCRT still runs on Windows XP SP2+ as mentioned in your second link.

The VS2012 MSVCRT will not run on XP initially, but a post-RTM patch to bring XP support back was mentioned on the VS blog[1]. So that would only prevent XP support between the VS2012 release and the post-RTM patch, and only if the PHP team upgraded at the first chance.

Oh, certainly the NSA is monitoring a lot and trying to monitor more, but my pedantic side had to call out the "EVERY single thing". :) Thanks for the link though, I had forgotten the details of that case and only vaguely remember hearing about the Obama administration's move to dismiss it. (Which is funny, because presently a common criticism is that Obama keeps blaming his predecessor for everything wrong. He doesn't seem very keen on prosecution...)

It's easy to future-proof your encryption, even in the face of exponential increases in computing power. The biggest danger to encryption systems that rely on integer factoring (i.e. RSA) right now is feasible quantum computing, but there are schemes that don't rely on factoring so there's hope on that front. For the trivial stuff I bother encrypting, I'm more worried about, in increasing order, being given the choice of decrypting something or getting shot or sent to prison for life (fortunately we have some precedent in the US and elsewhere against this), being tortured for a while without knowing why before being asked to decrypt something, and being tortured without having any information but being unable to convince the torturer of that.
US courts have split on the issue.
I don't know how many new logging statements you commit to production code every day, but I can't imagine it averages out to more than one or two. If you can't take the time to phrase them both professionally and meaningfully then you're doing yourself and your team a disservice.
I totally agree with you and congratulations on creating such a widely used and transformative product, I hope that in time biology will also adopt the arXiv model.

I also agree with your point about reproducibility - it is another passion of mine which I have written about here: http://blog.scienceexchange.com/2012/04/the-need-for-reprodu...
Python 101: easy_install or how to create eggs
Amazon used to consistently have the best price compared to the local retail stores (where I live in the US), but in recent years they've been tinkering with dynamic pricing, so if you buy something popular you're often better off checking around.

I can't complain about selection, though. Particularly if you live in an area without boutique stores, Amazon US is likely to have every product you can buy locally.
Facebook automatically publishing Page posts under your name.
Ed Bott: "If you actively share a link, a post, or a photo, you expect that shared item to go out to your friends immediately. In this case, however, the posts are going out under your name because at some point in the past (in some cases in the distant past) you visited a page and clicked Like. [...] One associate whose name was attached to a rabidly right-wing political post said she disagreed vehemently with the sentiment it expressed, and she couldn't imagine why it appeared under her name."
That seems somewhat unfair. First of all, 2006 was different than 2005 in the web 2.0 world, and the breathless tone adopted by a business magazine isn't really Kevin's fault.
Get a personal cert and you can use it natively in Apple Mail, not just for signing but also for encryption. We should be helping friends, family, and colleagues do this.
Yeah, I have found PayPal for all their supposed fraud protections to be quiet useless with preventing chargebacks. As a merchant you are also disadvantaged in that you aren't able to access any BIN/AVS data on the card yourself.
Maybe though given another post I had my doubts.

Thank you I appreciete the feedback. +1 to you for that

Good idea! I've added it as a feature request to the issues page.
I only have one alarm. If it fails I am late. I found out that depending on complex systems work against you.

Once I had three wake up alarms, at different points at the bedroom. Didn't work.

Being late is lame. Suffering its consequences is the best teacher one can have.
Digg Sold To LinkedIn AND The Washington Post And Betaworks
I'm not saying they're only useful there. But we both agree that they're very helpful in understanding a bad codebase. That's because they make bad code easier to handle. Which for some people removes the incentive to clean it up. Basically, they use debuggers as crutches.
Agree on the $9 cheap WiFi module, but it seems not to be FCC certified and that has a strong impact on pricing.
Gary Bernhardt (guy doing that screencast) also does [Destroy All Software][1]. Lot of useful Ruby/Rails videos, done with vim. He's just as fast as this video, if not faster, and he doesn't slow down.

You are not alone, though I'm not one, but taking more responsibilities could mean more business trips, etc, which would contradict your list of priorities such as "being with your family more and watch your 1 year old kid grow". Some of my friends have taken a very conscious choice to NOT get promoted.

Another good example is to keep working in the coding, rather than spending more time in people. This is pretty OK in US (assuming you're in), but much less viable in China in general, where most people expects you to be managing people than developing.
Yet another random article perpetuating the concept of the "real coder".

Are there things called "real lawyers"? "Real Doctors"? "Real Falafel makers"?

Coding started as a hobby for most "real coders" and ever since the industry has had a hard on for "real coders" - to the point where if you aren't a "real coder" your ONLY choice of action is to go into project management or sales?

Good god, what a messed up industry we have.
^Z

(no need to quit Vim ;-)
The article starts by listing a couple of problems, at least one of which most software engineers will identify with.

Most of us have sometimes had our ideas turned down and a lot of companies do that for wide variety of reasons - not just to maximize quarterly earnings. Most of us have had our projects cancelled midway and usually the communications may not have been as you would have expected.

These don't make your jobs "crappy". Any company will have to make tradeoffs between the longterm vision and the short term earnings. I think quitting is not a good reaction to any of the above problems.

I would also try to address some of the allegations he makes about a company being "crappy".

Being profitable and stable means a lot of things. They are not a crutch that people hold on to. It means that there are people who are paying for what you make. It means that your team mates are doing a good job of selling what you make. It means that you are made something what people want. For most of us the pay is a small part of the equation on the job satisfaction. If I am making something that is profitable with people that I like and the company is trying its best to provide me some small perks,the low pay may hardly matter.

He also goes on another tangent expressing different frustrations about working in a company namely having "idiots with no technical background ... just because they have an MBA".

There are two different and unrelated points here. Why would someone without a technical background be an idiot? Why wouldn't he be competent to lead a team? Is your company hiring managers solely based on degrees? Does your company hire engineers just because they have a computer science degree? Would you have a person run a team just because he has a technical background?

There are a lot of reasons why people hate their companies. There are a lot of reasons why people love their companies. It is a good thing that the authors is trying to minimize the hateful relationship through your startup. However, he has provided no convincing argument to why some of the things that he listed make the company "mediocre" or "crappy" and why it is worth leaving the company.
Ok. I can see many of those being possible advantages, depending on taste. I find the option of a terminal (rather than a graphical interface) to be a major asset, because then it works with ssh* .

Also, all the people I know using ST are ex-vimmers, and use its vim emulation mode. A data point, I suppose.

And yes, agreed on the open-source-ness, though commercial support does have its advantages.

* I know you can do X forwarding and so on, but, eh.
I've learned to treat spaces as complete context switches. I think I like it better this way (though I know I'm in the minority here).

Space 1: Left Monitor - Chrome (Work profile), Middle Monitor - IDE, Right Monitor - Terminal
Space 2: Left Monitor - Chrome (Personal profile), Middle Monitor - Itunes and Spotify, Right Monitor - Misc. non work stuff.

If I'm working on two projects, each gets its own space and browser window.

This way I can more effectively tune out Personal distractions.
Ask HN: Where is the best place to learn Java?
FB chat to me is basically real-time private messages rather than more traditional instant messaging, but everything I described except securely archiving the history could be done by FB transparently to the user. Of course you can do the work yourself, I just think it would be a nice gesture if FB provided the option to do the work for you, a way for the user to conveniently make sure FB keeps their parsers off the user's chat data. (It could also be extended to other data.) Also with how frequently Amazon prompts me for my password, I don't think users would be incredibly turned off by FB prompting for a password when they start chatting, and their browsers can be made to remember it anyway.
They have been evil for some time, as far as privacy goes. They, more than anyone else, have been behind the push to a post-privacy world. Adding law enforcement hooks is the natural extension of this.
A situation where a debugger helped you understand a great deal has to be a situation where you don't understand what's going on.

I agree a debugger can help you figure out mysteries. But when I find myself using one, I try to ask: how could I have avoided having a mystery in the first place. Common answers: better tests, cleaner code, better design.
I'm not very familiar with US law, but a few moments googling suggests that that's nonsense, and the standard the police must reach to conduct a stop and search in the US, for e.g. weapons ("reasonable suspicion", per Terry v Ohio), is essentially identical to that in the UK ("reasonable grounds for suspecting"). Though the UK statute does cover a slightly wider class of items - e.g. stolen property, rather than just guns as in the US.

(It's true that the reasonable ground requirement was removed for certain areas by the Terrorism Act 2000. That provision was held incompatible with Article 8 of the ECHR (our nearest equivalent of your 4th amendment), and has consequently been repealed).

I'd also raise an eyebrow at your implication that the police are generally less prone to misuse of their powers in the US than the UK. I haven't researched it, but my impression was that in practice it's rather the other way round.
It's a tradeoff, actually. I used to use Vimium for following links, but I made this because I feel it's a little more natural than hitting 'f' and then typing an arbitrary code next to the link you're looking at. Instead, you can just type exactly what you see immediately. It's really just a personal preference, I feel.

Plus, DeadMouse usually finds the link within the first two characters, so it's not any more typing than Vimium.
I admit that this is beautifully written, even though I strongly disagree with the premise.
You could say "for all intents and purposes" or "practically".
I supposed you could call China not a 3rd world, but I've been to China, Nepal, and parts of Africa, and a lot of rural China looks like the poor parts of the other two. How people in poverty live in China is still quite a bit below how the impoverished live in western countries
Like gruesom says, you've missed my point entirely.
Isn't the fundamental problem in software patents that patent holders have the option of NOT licensing their patents to infringing parties? Outright ban based on patent infringement is criminal in my view. Collecting rent based on infringement is completely fair, on the other hand.

Exactly, wiggling works well even for links that look like buttons, among other styles of links.

I played with growing and shrinking, but it looks bad because the text loses resolution as it becomes bigger (at least using CSS3 transforms).

Tip well enough that your generosity will be noticed by the staff.

There are advantages to tipping at the 90-th percentile (not a 90% tip!), especially if you are a frequent customer. You will be remembered.

Note, "asshole" has nothing to do with it.
Never assume anything you send online is private. If the service isn't monitoring you, your friends are. And if not your friends, then the people who share your friends' computers, or anyone who comes into possssion of it, have he potential to expose your communications.

And while this has always been the case ever since letter writing, electronic communication is so much easier to parse and distribute and copy on bulk.
Fired isn't the problem. If you're smart and ambitious and believe in public service, you don't want to spend the rest of your life in a basement cubicle re-verifying the presence of the new cover sheet on the TPS reports.
There's usually a lobotomy to be had somewhere between dev and lead. At least, that's been my experience.

This story already been covered I thought. People pick silly passwords, people pick great passwords. Hosts use expoitable systems, passwords leaked. Passwords leaked in clear text indicating no encyrption/hashing or anything approaching the 21st century. Article then goes on to explain how to protect yourself and yet ignores the aspect that you could of changed your password daily and used 200 characters which would require the dexterity of a hamster on ridlin just to be able to type - that it would of made no difference at all as they hosted on a insecure server that was expliotable by a type of expliot that is inexcusable and held them in plain text. Not sure there is much to say realy apart from if it had been RIM then there would be the standard addition of how the company is doomed, but as it's yahoo then non of that is mentioned or even touched upon in any shape or way.

Actually you're right, after re-reading both the submitted link and the comment, I see I misunderstood his comment in regard to the context. Please disregard my last post.
Lion uses versions instead of files (which is its own can of worms). Maintaining support for both sounds like a pain, actually.
My pager agreement is response in under 30 minutes (whether it's log-on or escalation calls), within 1 hour physically of work, and sober. There's no cellular modem, and you have to use the corp laptop to access the VPN to access your machine.

I asked my co-workers on rotation if they were interested in trying to get a cellular modem that we pass around in addition to the pager, but they would rather try to use iPass to get on the wifi somewhere.

Please try to give more notice next time. I can't make this one but would be interested in being notified for future ones - matt@mattmccormick.ca
Good advice, thanks. I've been reading sites like greaterfool.ca and following the RE market in .ca quite closely.

Wife and I agree that we would rent for a while as the rents are quite low compared to mortgages and we would see what happens. Either way, IMO, when mortgages are 2x-3x higher than rents, it doesn't make much fiscal sense to buy.

Thanks for the heads up!
Thanks to HN Notify (http://hnnotify.com/) I know what your post said before you edited. :P Knowing that, I'm sure you're aware of all kinds of crazy NSA crap others aren't, so thanks for flashing your credentials; as I said in another comment, I was pretty much just being pedantic about the "EVERYTHING".
Oh c'mon. Does HN have the capacity to not be critical 24/7? The guy is clearly competent at his job, there is no need to nitpick.

Let he who has never written a frustrated, nonsense, print statement throw the first stone, if you will.

Applause! You brought a tear to my eye. After living a luxuriant Apple-only lifestyle I've had to start supporting PCs again. Re-entering the Junkspace that is Windows has been punishing.

UI completely untouched since 1995. Thickets of new dialog boxes. Incredibly thick layers of shovelware. Grotesque artwork. Limitations that come out of nowhere that require Windows Pro Premium Whatever. IE toolbar/BHO hell. The printer thing alone, sweet Jesus. I literally gave up trying to share a single USB printer to two other workstations over the LAN. It's so unnecessarily difficult it's unreal.

The Mac-o-verse has the same volume of pain, punishment, and failure as the Windows platform, but it usually tends to cluster on the outside of the possibility space. Their failings aren't sitting there in plain view waiting for you to stub your toe.

I'm not sure why people need to start coding at 8 or 9 to be a star coder. I've seen many people who started in college and have become excellent coders.
But didn't they make it their responsibility the minute they began screening messages with the intent of reporting crimes? Selective enforcement whether by choice or mistake isn't an option they can choose here.
And criminal legalities aside, I would be more concerned about the civil litigation from the victim or victim's family. Facebook pledged to prevent crime against its users, witnessed evidence that a crime would take place, and then failed to act. Tell me no one would go after Facebook's deep pockets in this situation given they could have reasonably prevented whatever crime took place, even if it meant reporting it to the proper authorities.
It may just be professional paranoia talking, but I can't see how this doesn't release them from some sort of liability in a worst-case scenario.
Bao Tong: In the Current System, I’d Be Corrupt Too
"real editor"? As opposed to what?
I have two, the company accidently sent 2, when we ordered 1. Boss bought me 1 to play with for fun.
"I’d gotten next-day Saturday service for free. I have no idea how Amazon made any money on my order (the whole bill was less than $30) but several people on Twitter told me that they’ve experienced similarly delightful service."

I've got news for you- they didn't make any money on your order. Amazon is profitable but has razor-thin margins on the whole. They take losses on several markets, including Prime, gambling that the entire seamless, low-cost user experience will cause enough people to spend enough money to push them over the edge of profitability.

I for one have serious doubts about whether what the author describes (based to a large extent on pure speculation) would be a profitable business model. It's one thing to keep huge amounts of inventory in centralized locations and ship items out across the country over the course of days. It's quite another to stock all that inventory redundantly throughout every state. So if I want to buy a specific pair of shoes that I can't find at Foot Locker, is Amazon going to stock 50 pairs on the off-chance that somebody down the street is going to buy them? Probably not.

In fact, the USPS runs a similar business model. One would then logically think (if this article is any indicator) that UPS and FedEx would go belly-up. I mean after all, if I can distribute mail to somebody's house for $0.50 in a day, how could UPS and FedEx compete with that? The reality is just the opposite. UPS and FedEx enjoy such enormous margins when compared to the USPS, that they want no part of the markets in which the USPS operates and it's too late for the USPS to compete with UPS and FedEx on parcels and important packages. I don't agree with the author's prediction at all.
Mostly that it is close to Vancouver and Seattle, has really nice weather for .ca and Vancouver Island is an outdoor playland for someone like me.

I'm also a person who likes smaller places, but need to be close to an international airport (for work) so Victoria has that going for it.

My wife is a GP and likes to be in smaller communities so she can connect with the people more, so that is playing in her mind.

And we have kids and don't really want to raise them in a "city". That, and the schools in Victoria seem to be really good...and they have a good French immersion school. Our kids speak French, but neither my wife or I can properly teach them to read or write...so we wanted to send them to French school until about 8th grade.
Normally I agree that negative feedback isn't useful, but I feel a certain protective outrage at the idea of a journeyman developer reading this and taking it at face value.

People who sit at a computer and don't move for five hours are not role models. And it's sad that in 40 years of development, the author feels the need to repeat baseless stereotypes and jaded opinions.
Moreover, you have, in your head, the log message that should be written.

At the time of writing the code, you're hopefully thinking through "how could this fail?"

There's your log message.
