I used to use IntelliJ when I programmed in Java and loved it. I was still learning Java and its ability to show help, check syntax and refactor was excellent. But then I did less Java and more Python and returned to vim. One issue was that I was not only editing code, I was writing documents in LaTex, I was editing large 'data' files (ascii text), I was editing blogs and other notes in Markdown etc. Unfortunately, IntelliJ seems to regard everything as a project and does not make it easy (at least back then) to simply create or edit a file that is not part of a particular project.

Another advantage of vim is that most of the time at work I am working on a PC but editing files on Linux boxes. At home I am on a mac. I know I could run X, but I prefer running Putty, and I enjoy the lightweight nature of just bringing up vim. So, currently, vim is my editor of choice.

Also, I must admit that after 20+ years of using vi/vim, I still make the occasional mode mistake and type 'i' when in insert mode, or ':wq', but vim is still my favourite editor.
>Alright. The re bubble was not big enough to create the crisis - firstly.

The hell it wasn't. All that debt would have been held by somebody. It may not have been bundled up in CDOs, but look what happened to Countrywide - they went under (or, I guess, technically force onto BofA by the government) because they held on to their own paper. Even still the bulk of the writedowns have yet to occur, and the taxpayers will end up picking up the tab for all that garbage the GSEs hoovered up.

>Also it's not political, my dyed in the wool republican finance teacher/boss spoke about how glass steagal was grudgingly useful, before the crisis hit. It isn't a theory propagated during the crisis, it's a theory substantiated by the crisis.

He has no way of knowing that. The problem with economics is it isn't in any way a science. For nearly every position you can take on an issue you'll find respected economists on both sides looking at the same data and drawing different conclusions.

I'm not saying there's no logic in that position, just that the idea the whole problem was Glass-Steagal is only getting a lot of play in the media because it dovetails nicely with "those ebil greedy banksters" talking points on the left.
Congratulations to you and your family.
My understanding was that he got permission from an employee of the store to install the app, and explained what it was for as well.
This will fundamentally change nothing. You are basically using the same (money) tactics as the persons you oppose and therefore part of the problem of the entanglement of money and politics. The fact that you are "justified" or "right" in your political stance doesn't change that.

Real change, I fear, will have to be sought in your elective processes. And it will undoubtedly be a long and painful process.
There's a great post by a redditor that explains how Reddit has become "anti-content": http://www.reddit.com/r/circlebroke/comments/vqy9y/dear_circ...
digg had reached a local maximum prior to v4 that wasn't sufficient for the amount of money they had raised.
The point was more that two iterations of MD5 isn't nearly slow enough. This site claims 5.6G/s on an ATI 5970 (~$400US) card: http://www.golubev.com/hashgpu.htm

So for a 2-iteration password cracker, that's enough to search almost a 48 bit space of passwords in a day. That's enough to check every possible ASCII password of 7 characters or less, and a good heuristic search will probably get you much more than that.
TechCrunch is now disputing the $500,000 price in their coverage[1]

One source close to the negotiations tells us that the price was indeed not $500k, but we haven’t been able to pinpoint an exact price yet.

I'd honestly argue that this is the most important role in the company. As a startup--your company is your product and for or all intents and purposes the product design is the product. Yes, it needs to be supported by a strong, scalable, flexible foundation, but from a user standpoint--design is everything. It will make or break you.
Thank you for that. Awesome share.

If I was to speculate, I'd say that the early Digg audience may have been what ultimately led them down the path to failure. The ranking algorithm on Digg was blatantly rigged to produce a front page with mass-market appeal. Overly nerdy or political submissions rarely made the cut. I suspect that, early on, Digg's leadership decided that allowing users too much control over content would keep Digg in a nerd/leftist niche that couldn't be monetized. A lack of respect for democratic control over the front page ultimately led them to ignore voting rings, gaming, and spammers; and eventually justified handing over control to the marketeers and content farms in Digg v4.

4M monthly uniques that have been downright hostile to any attempt to monetize their traffic. Alexa Rank of 191 with no avenue for actual money.

It's not all about the users.
Zoom tries to remove the scroll bars. It makes the window big enough so that the scroll bars disappear. If there are no scrollbars and the main content just automatically resizes with the window (e.g. in Aperture) it is equivalent to the maximize button.

The biggest problem with that is that developers make it work inconsistently.
Your feedback is well taken. A couple of things (1) Based on our experience, we ran into a lot of empirical evidence that parents don't take the lead in talking to their kids about what they might run into on the Internet (2) The pro-choice argument works well for teens who are well aware of whats out there. Our intent is to protect younger children who might be accidentally exposed to adult content before their parents have had a chance to talk to them about it (or are too young to visit these sites even after such a discussion). Incidentally, the trigger for this idea was when my co-founder saw his 6-year old cousin accidentally viewing an age-inappropriate video on YouTube on an iPad while his parents were away. That's when we looked for solutions for "safe YouTube" out there and were surprised to see how sorry the parental "control" solutions out there were.
ClojureScript's core library has a dependency on Google Closure, and are optimized with knowledge of javascript vms. david nolen said that v8, for example, is blazingly fast at sequential instructions so they take great care to avoid function calls in critical paths.

This article is written on the assumption that if someone can get it free, they won't pay. I find that truly hard to believe. The piracy demographic is usually limited to two groups- people who believe they are beating the system, and people who don't know they're hurting the system.

I think the attitude of the company plays a big role. For instance, music companies won't fund music unless it is guaranteed to produce insane profits. If people know that the company is offering good services at intentionally fair prices, they will be more willing to not cheat the system.

Look at Louis C.K.:
I'm a huge fan of him so I would have bought anyway, but since he cut the cost down to $5, I think many people bought simply because they believed the price was worth the content.

I think piracy is a result of a disconnect between users and creators. The more middle men there are, the less people will care about the people involved. When the writer is appealing to you that hey, please don't steal from me, more people will have a heart about it.
Well, not to be blunt, but going back a 100 years or so gives me records of senators openly complaining that some of their highly esteemed colleagues have been put in their seats by the railway companies or companies dependent on tariff walls.

And it kind of begs the question, why doesn't it ever change? It seems to me that at the end of the day the majority is not dissatisfied enough to do away with election spending, adding pork to bills, the super-pacs etc or to at least alter the elective process in any fundamental way.
I think one of the great things about the Raspi is that it is not competing on being powerful, it's got an community aiming at an accessible and fun experience.
That's why it is important for employees to demand market salary, startup or no.
Reddit is mentioned later in the article.
Personally I wouldn't consider it even remotely controversial that by XBox 360/PS3/Wii standards, the thing is doomed. There is an effectively zero chance that this is going to sell into the tens of millions.

But that's a completely uninteresting observation, really. Who cares? The question is, will they be successful on their own terms. That's probably "profitable" rather than "took over the video game industry". Since they're building on the Android base, their "success" or "failure" won't look like a conventional console. If the entire thing is a miserable failure, games will still be made for it, because there doesn't need to be Ouya-specific games. If the company ships hardware, then blows up, it'll probably still have games coming out for it, if for no other reason than the fact you can probably root it. Conventional consoles don't have that characteristic. It changes things a lot.

No, that new corner restaurant going in downtown probably isn't going to threaten Applebee's... but... so?
The Yahoo one posted yesterday turned out to be a fake claim.
I think he's asking why they haven't bid for a domain name that appears to be dormant.
Indeed. Where's the IP? It's not like there's anything of value in Groupon – customers? no lock in/low switching costs. Vendors? Every small business person I've heard talk about their experience with Groupon has said they'd never use it again.

Facebook IPO Shows Extreme Corruption, McNamee Says
This would only make sense if the sole effect of not shopping at Amazon was to end warehouse jobs. But the alternative to "shop at Amazon" isn't "set my money on fire." If I don't shop at Amazon, I'll either buy the same things somewhere else, or spend the money on something else, or invest it in something else. When you (and I) shift purchases to Amazon, we're voting to take jobs away from [whoever's involved in getting stuff to us via retail] and create jobs for [whoever's involved in getting stuff to us via the internet].

Part of what I'm responding to here is, your argument seems to boil down to: "it's OK for me to benefit from these people's suffering, because they aren't being physically forced to do it, so I must be doing them a favor." That's letting yourself off far too lightly. Our standards for which businesses we encourage should be higher than "do they have to physically compel their workers to show up" -- unless that really is the best we can ask for.
I wonder if everyone realizes that the money OUYA has "Committed" isnt really committed yet, you can go into your kickstarter account and remove your pledge any time before the time is up. It's a bet and a risky one at that, dependent on the betting confidence of thousands of other people.
"Fire!" has nothing to do with the speech, and everything to do with the induced actions. The first amendment is also a terrible example, as it foolishly says 'congress shall make no law', and thus has little meaning to begin with. An actual example is how civilians are prohibited automatic weapons but meanwhile they're standard issue to individuals in the military. People would like to think USG is bound by logical rules and so invent complexities to cloud their understanding, but the fundamental truth is that a straightforward, simplistic reading of the Bill of Rights shows that it has little bearing on modern society.

As to copying, the problem lies in trying to restrict the flow of information between two consensual parties based on some notion of third party control. This arises from privacy (that you're trying to assert would not exist). As actual policing of private copying is impossible, we end up with selective enforcement based on bad luck or personal vendettas, which is immoral. Reality should drive the model, not vice versa.
Not only is that not "no different", it's not even close. Nobody expects that if you stare at them, photos of them will start appearing on a web server as part of an art exhibition (or in any tangible form other than a person's memory, for that matter).
D3.js + Backbone.js Intro / Crash Course
About doing what you really want and getting an income: sometime they don't mix well.

Right now, I am just building projects on whatever I felt like doing. Some are no doubt, useful to everybody else. However, the rest may be just be interesting only to me or solve a problem that is unique only to me.

Do I know where I will get my money? No clues. However, it been a blast for me, personally. I learn a few tech such as meteor.js and how to develop chrome extensions, although I really want greybeard knowledge(algorithms, debugging, and other core skills), not the latest fad.

Ouya reminds me of that open-source smartphone project everyone got excited about a few years ago, Openmoko, before everyone also realized that it's extremely expensive and difficult to put together a modern smartphone, and that openness isn't compelling enough to make people tough it out with a half-baked device.
>Think of any reason why you’re tolerating your current job and ask any prospective employer to beat it.

What about a great team, reasonable hours, lack of red tape, and flexibility in technical choices? All reasons I love my current job and things I don't think a potential employer would give an honest answer about anyway. That's the biggest friction, for me at least.

It jumps out at me, the same consistent misspellings or grammar errors do. Os I wouldn't say I struggle with them, but they are certainly an annoying distraction.
For rhetorical effect, `:wq` is right. But in the real world, `:x` is the better choice.
He always seems a bit sleezy though, you seen that episode of screensavers where he is telling about this website that he found (not founded) on the internet called Digg.
Products have lifecycles. One of the states is the milking state, where you minimize investment in that product to maximize profit (put another way, the incremental value of new work is less than or equal to zero). Anybody would be stupid to continue dumping money in those.

The problem is that state occurs right before product death. If you aren't investing that milk money somewhere new, your company is in a death spiral, regardless of how much money there is coming in today.

So if your company is only milking and not investing, then, yes, leave, immediately. Personally, I've not seen that happen often, but I have seen it.

Yardsale - Mobile Marketplace, Seeking iOS/Rails Engineers (YC S11)
We’re a small team of developers rethinking the way people buy and sell things locally. We're well funded, our users love what we're building, and we do too.

We're a rails/iOS shop, seeking an iOS specialist or hardcore generalist. We're looking for individuals who:

- Above all, learn quickly

- Have a strong understanding of everything from optimized PostgreSQL to performance hacking UIWebViews

- Seek out the latest in tooling, iOS open source or clang features

This is a key technical hire, with significant equity and lots of room to influence the strategic direction of the company. The best fit will probably be someone hoping to be a technical founder in their next role.

Yardsale is based in San Francisco's mission district. If you'd like to hear more please send your github profile or something you've built to jobs@getyardsale.com, or visit us at https://www.getyardsale.com
Figuratively speaking.
"The overwhelming majority of the businesses on Groupon are failing."

To use your own words: "This is insulting and frankly, just bullshit." I would love for you to find a non-anecdotal study which shows that most (>50%) of businesses on Groupon are failing.

"Now it's 99% failing businesses."
Ahh...now I know you're just being hyperbolic.
It's just not true. Not for everyone. I've worked with people in the past who would shine in a new role, and I keep telling them to quit their job and move on to something better. But I've also worked with people who think they're good programmers but really aren't, and those people should thank the lord with both hands that they got the job they have now.
OS X is the least usable of the desktops I worked on for a longer period of time (Gnome 2 and Windows XP). Mostly because of clunky and slow way of app switching and poor window managment. Unfortunately, "modern" desktops like Gnome 3, Unity or Metro are even worse.

Because most people's experience with Windows is through the cheapest keyboards, trackpads, motherboards, and displays Dell/HP could buy in bulk and deliver to Best Buy that week. When people talk about Windows, they're talking about 5-year-old beater Inspirons or 16-character HP one-of-three-hundred-identical-laptops-with-different-model-numbers-of-the-week, not EliteBooks, and almost certainly not ThinkPads. When people talk about Macs, they're talking about the Macbook Air, Macbook Pro, or maybe Mac Mini.

As far as software, as someone who supports Windows 7 on a daily basis: I have never spent more than 5 minutes on network printing with Macs. I have rarely spent less than three hours on network printing with Windows. Let's talk about the fact that it's 2012 and when I right-click a printer, I get to choose "printing preferences," "printer properties," and "properties." It may seem silly, but this stuff matters. You shouldn't have to hire the neighbor kid just to use your printer.

Additionally, manufacturers override Microsoft's decent (if clunky) WiFi interface and force you to use poorly designed taskbar-based apps, to the point where smart but non-tech-savvy people can't figure out how to connect to the Internet at a coffee shop. It's often impossible to avoid the concept of "location profiles," "networks" (Home? Business? Work? What the hell gives you the right to open a dialog over my work just because I plugged in an ethernet cable?). On my Mac I go to the Airport dropdown next to the volume control, pick from the available SSIDs, and it's done. Ethernet silently gets DHCP and connects. Details are there if I want them in ipconfig and System Preferences, but I hardly ever do. There certainly isn't crap in my taskbar running stupid 3fps animations and demanding my attention every few minutes. I have never been startled by the audio "Virus database has been updated" coming out of nowhere on a Mac, but this was a daily occurrence for Avast users.

How about "Windows is checking for a solution to the problem"? How about UAC dialogs that silently open behind my current window, so my Install Wizard appears to hang when it's actually just waiting for me to click ok?

Full screen is not basically like Maximize; Maximize is basically like Maximize. Full screen hides the chrome. I would compare it to F11 in Firefox. You don't have to use it; I do appreciate having Spotify and Mail full screen on alterate Spaces, so I can three-finger swipe to quickly read an email or change the song and then three-finger swipe back without altering my primary workpace, but I almost never fullscreen Chrome.

There are things I don't like. I hate that OSX reopens all my windows after I log back in; I don't use Xcode but I understand it's pretty buggy. Still, reports of Lion's transformation to iOS are vastly overblown.
First owners of Ouya will be the people who paid 100$ for it, on kickstarter, up front.

Those people will have near-zero interest in pirating games for the sake of not paying. And that's who the first generation of Ouya users will be made of.
It's attention-grabbing, which is good. Confusing though, which may not be.

You don't really compete vs Groupon either, as you're rewarding existing customers rather than fishing for new ones.

DailyDealMaker? Indycoupon? Rewardr?

It was definitely not fake; I know a few people who were on the leaked Yahoo Voices list.

Fabulous post. Thanks for writing.

One point it misses though is to test your backup strategy often. When you scale fast things break very often and it's good to be in practice of restoring from backups every now and then.
