"We never waged war against Microsoft over IE7, we simply wanted people to upgrade their web browsers..."

Maybe so, but the splash says "Use a better browser" and lists Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. It would be ridiculous for Microsoft to remove the page from their search results because of this, but at just a glance, and maybe to the untrained user, it could look like the are waging war on IE as a whole, and not just trying to get users to "simply upgrade their browsers."
Ah ha, I'd seen that style being used in a couple of libraries but I wasn't sure which was the more accepted standard. I'll make sure I use that format in the future.

Update for your update:

Aye, I wouldn't normally write so repetitively but I wasn't too sure about the best practice for things like that and I decided to just hash it out so I could play with the data. Thanks for the tips; I'm really keen to improve quickly with Go, as it's very enjoyable.

For just £15 you can take them to small claims court if you're refused a refund, I'm not sure if you should be pursuing CrowdSurge (who are clearly inept) or the concert organiser. Either way, don't settle for less than your money back.
This takes out any or all learning curve for beginners. If we did this it would disrupt the web development industry, think of it like natural selection. Half of why web developers are so great is their resourceful. I just see this as a terrible way to teach people to copy and paste. Creating myspace all over again

So as a summary to the comments above; Function pointers between files isn't bad for performance if we can't do link time optimization. When link time optimization really becomes widely available, it's still not bad? Just the step in the middle that could be affected then? Thinking out loud here, any thoughts on this? I usually opt for structure over performance before profiling proves otherwise, but I still find this to be an interesting topic.

I don't really. I can't remember if I am able to only search music videos from the youtube API or not. I'll check it out now and edit. But right now I basically just search youtube with the song name, artist and album and use the time.
Samsung Galaxy Fit Price and Specifications
What extra sensor? The article talks about them using the compasses that smartphones already have.

And you're wrong, it's a big market. Every large store in the world wants customers to easily find things. Big-box retail has to be over $1 trillion in annual revenue; Walmart alone does upwards of $400 billion a year. Something that slightly increases purchases or customer satisfaction can have a giant impact.

Those places employ millions of people; just letting their own employees find things easily could save a lot of labor time. Ditto for letting employees do something more productive than helping people find things that their phones could lead them to.
> The keyboard is not quite as snappy as the rest of the Nexus 7 experience. It seems to occasionally miss letters, or have to catch up after a series of letters are typed, especially right after waking.

Sorry, that's unacceptable. Small UI hiccups are death by a thousand pinpricks, in my view.

On a related note, I think people vastly underestimate how much UI responsiveness is responsible for Apple's continued success.
7 Experts Predict Google Plus is Here to Stay
The standard is Nelson's Radically elementary probability.

Vovks and Shafer's game-theoretic approach is interesting in that related approaches like bandit models and online learning have recently picked up in popularity.
Microsoft themselves want their users to upgrade to latest browsers (see: http://www.ie6countdown.com/) so the idea that they would take issue with someone else doing this (so much so that they'd remove them from bing) seems a bit.. unlikely.
What's wrong a simple "Okay sir, before you can drive away with your new car you need to pick a password. And before anybody can service the car they'll need your password so please don't forget it, but if you do you can always provide proof of ownership to your nearest dealer and they'll help you reset your password."? That way non-franchise garages can still do repairs, as well.
Common CSRF vulnerability in OAuth2 implementations
Statcounter is a horse shit merchant. It's a bad choice for measuring market share statistics for anything. Let's take a look at this specific case and why it's wrong:

1. A lot of WP devices announce themselves as IE desktop rather than mobile.

2. People in the EU still primarily use them for messaging, email only. I rarely see people "on the web" on their mobile devices.

3. Apps requests do not necessarily count in the statistics and the majority of the time people spend is in apps (WP has native FB, ebay, Twitter apps etc). WP has decent native apps for pretty much everything.

The only thing that matters statistically are sales and retention which are numbers that are not uniformly available for any platform.

A $200 tablet isn't for you. I'm serious: You appear to need expensive hand holding. Get an iPad and contact them all you want.

I'm not trying to defend Google here, but they have only pushed the Nexus 7, thus far, to the tech industry. They have been very clear that it is not shipping for two to three weeks. If you're antsy and impatient about it, desperate to see a number counting down, it isn't for you.

I guess my core point is that there are a lot of us who don't need the expensive hand holding. I pre-ordered right once it became available. And then I forgot about it. They don't bill until it ships, so whenever.
Some decent points there, but misses one key point. The rise of the Bring Your Own Device in the enterprise.

A lot of companies seem to be experimenting with this as an alternative to another round of phone purchases, so the era of the company purchased phone may be coming to an end. All you need is a phone with a good ActiveSync implementation for Exchange integration and you are good to go. Employee like it as they only have to carry one device, Companies like it as it saves them money. It's a rare win/win for both sides.

While I'm sure Windows Phone will work well in this environment, it doesn't help much unless consumers start buying the phones in the first place.
I think this is just some random technical glitch that has de-ranked them for some reason at an awkward time, along the lines of Google accidentally marking a legit website as spammy, sending it way down the results. Can it really be proved that this was done directly in response to the IE7 tax? What would the point be anyway? Maybe the storm of incoming links about the IE7 news accidentally got identified as linkfarming somehow?
1) This is not a network attack, so the internet is largely irrelevant.

Security protocols that can be used on two points on the Internet can also be used between two pieces of hardware, like a programmer/diagnostic tool and an embedded computer.
Neither "kogan" nor "kogan.com" return the website for me.
Personally i didn't like freelancing from home all that much.. i did it for 3 years but overall you feel quite lonely sitting at home most of the day without coworkers to talk to.
Work life/private life gets really mixed up and sitting around in your undies until noon wasnt really all that exciting after a while. Be careful to not isolate yourself too much!
I love freelancing, but today i share an office with other freelancers and try to separate work/private life more clearly. Made me happier, YMMV
Object-Oriented JavaScript: How the prototype works
Could you explain how it's more like a triple store with a time parameter?

My previous explanation already papered over a ton of fundamental differences in order to make a somewhat understandable generalization, but I can't make the jump to triple-store from my understanding of Datomic.

I basically see it as "just a single-writer many-reader distributed fully persistent data-structure."
Not very impressive for people who work with data sets often and probably have tools like SAS or Excel, but good to know it exists as a free alternative.
ha. It's so hard to find domain names. No one else has ever said sounds like Testicles but I can see it. I thought it was a decent name though. And I know, does not look the best. I am hoping to meet some web designers :)

Does Devops have a Culture Problem?
Well I'm glad my water supplier filters that, and I'm glad my electricity provider filters out spikes. While I personally don't want my ISP anywhere near my ip packets, the average person just wants to pay for Internet from an ISP and feel like the ISP is in some way providing more that just data. As the Internet evolves into a utility like water and electricity, more regulation, oversight and consumer protections are inevitable.
Indeed.

Without wanting to gush too much, but NT is a wonderful piece of technology. It's orders of magnitude better than anything else on the market without a doubt for any application.

The bit people have the "hate problem" with is the Win32 subsystem that is chucked on top of it.
Computer vision seems like the logical solution to this problem.
Yes, I agree, it's about facilitating run-time configuration and testing. Not sure I agree with the increasing of code complexity though. Maybe there's an aspect of code complexity that increases with dependency injection. I personally feel that code complexity more correlates with explicit branches, something that I usually eliminate using DI or polymorphism.
And yeah, any way of writing code has it's downsides and upsides, just a matter of finding balance.
I would guess they would have to use the accelerometers and gyros on the phone to get a plane curve, along which they would then have the gradient and could match against a stored database.
Every phone using the app can contribute to your map data. If you combine magnetic data plus wifi data plus user behavior data, I expect you'd be able to continue to provide good 3D data to users.

I'd bet the hard part is getting building owners to update things regularly. Who's going to remember to change the map when the grocery store moves the cereal from aisle 2 to aisle 7?
This is what we're doing. WP works very well in this environment already and the handsets are dirt cheap.
Indeed. Just buy the thing from Amazon when it comes out.
Atlanta, GA, Fulltime

Software Developer for Complex Web Applications (Atlanta)

Emcien develops four products wrapped around a patented pattern-detection algorithm. Using the basic concept of detecting nodes and arcs, these applications solve problems in manufacturing, retail, and law enforcement. This computation, plus big datasets, create some complicated problems. Our software engineering team takes algorithms from our research team and embeds them into Ruby on Rails web applications which are hosted on the Amazon Elastic Cloud.

We are looking for more developers to join our team. If you mastered the concepts behind web development and have experience dealing with the web stack, Emcien is willing to train you in Ruby on Rails. This position is an excellent opportunity for anyone who wants to make the transition from Java, .NET, Python, Php, or oCaml.

Since we are a small, delta-force team of developers, each team member dives into a variety of code. Although you do not have to be an expert in each of these areas, this position will expose you to CoffeeScript, MySql, Amazon RDS, SASS, HAML, Backbone.js, and several other technologies. This means that your skills will advance with the latest ideas and innovations in web development.

One of my lads teachers has being saying "practice makes perfect" and he's repeating it ... i counter that it's not true, it "makes better".

A counter idiom is "excellence is good enough".

Striving for perfection can be destructive.
There are also many website design concepts floating around both as simple images or HTML templates. You could use these (with the permission of the author/artist) to sidestep the design section.

It apparently needs the user to move to get a position lock.

This will not work well with the typical use case: user is in a shopping mall, needs to go to the bathroom, wonders where the closest one is and where he is, stops walking, opens his phone and starts the app.

Expected outcome: the app says "toilets are 50 meters to the right".

If the app now tells the user "I have no idea where you are. Please walk in a random direction in a straight line for 20 meters and I will try to find out, then tell you where you are and where the closest toilets are, which means that you might have walked in the wrong direction to begin with", the user is not really happy.
The way they can do this legally is fair use:

Programmers outright refuse to organize. Lawyers, like any other professional organization, are highly organized which impacts rates.

You can start coding for hire right out of high school, if you've done the right prep work. It takes ~7 years before you can start practicing law.

I would argue that at least 50% of programmers out there are not 'highly-skilled professionals,' being neither highly skilled nor professional.

IIRC, XP will only ever go as high as IE7 or IE8. Vista will only go as high as IE9. Anyone hanging around on those operating systems, will need to look outside of Microsoft for a more up-to-date browser.

>I've shipped code written in Haskell and I deeply understand the huge pain in the arse it is to use in production for applications that are not toys.

And yet plenty of people (myself included) are using haskell for real world, production, non-toy applications all the time. So either all of us people using it are mentally ill and just imagining up non-existent production haskell code, or your experience reflects your ability, not the language's capabilities.
At my current client, I did! I went from 5 days to 3 days a week, split pretty much how I wanted. I've since gone back to 5 days, thinking that I might as well earn all I can from the contract before it's up, as I like the work and it's a good rate
That true. They could've simply linked to the IE9 download page.

But I think MS's algorithm would have de-ranked the site because any IR algorithm considers the content of the page too - if the web page served to IE users is about redirecting to browser download pages, their crawler (which may identify itself as IE) might not consider it to be the best result about 'Kogan'.
All he has to do is give a rough impression of his sample (so we can guess how representative his impression is of the whole!), and say that every part of India he saw was overflowing with trash, or whatever.

Instead he went out of his way to emphasize that he was speaking about the entire country. All of it.

I'm not Indian, and I still found it offensive enough that I didn't even get through the entire article. I got the impression straight off that he simply went to Agra -- Agra of all places! One of the top tourist destinations in the world, and of course thus one of the top spots for people who feed on tourists -- and his travel on the route to Agra plus time in a hostel in New Delhi was the bulk of his experience.

Blargh. I've spent all of a few months total of my life traveling in India at different times, including Agra, and though I'd never want to return to Agra in particular, already my overall impression didn't match up well with his.

I'll leave people with more experience to battle over the details, but this was more than just someone omitting "I think" in front of everything they write.

Edit: the other dead giveaway that he didn't get around much is that he talked about "the Indian culture", and Indian people, as if India were small and homogenous enough that you could make useful summaries about the single Indian culture. Again, there are lots of people here who can address this better than I, but the traits he talks about vary greatly and noticeably by general region.
Indeed, I agree. Those all fall under the umbrella I gave. But those are all particular subject areas that many people can go through their career without touching.
I've never had that experience with anyone.
Interesting that it comes up in DDG, which I thought was partially backed by Bing. They augment the results quite a bit, though, so not terribly surprising.

Also, I made myself sad when I typed "kogan.com" into the address bar to test DDG and was shocked when the actual web site came up. Didn't think that one through...

What would disprove evolution?
I'm asking because I'm in the process of writing my own lisp->c compiler:

Are you forced to use as environment like:

typedef struct environment {
struct environment *up;
int num_bindings;
value_t *bindings [0];
} environment_t;

Or would it be possible to have a dynamic vector as your environment (so that you get O(1) lookup) at the cost of making constructing closures more costly (as you'd have to copy the bindings)?
It's not keyless entry, it's the electronic keys used for push-to-start (which is also an unavoidable option, but it's one I like).
What sort of comments do you add? Mine are usually of two varieties - either explaining a pixel value (width + border + margin), or adding a short note about why I did something unconventional (two pixels removed so FireFox doesn't flow to the next line). In either case, someone learning CSS wouldn't be hugely benefitted by them, since I don't make the comments all that verbose.

That said, I usually don't minify my CSS anyway. I was just wondering if there are any significant cases where comments would make a huge difference to someone who is learning CSS.
Actually not a bad idea. You could also hash the salt and use it everywhere instead of the user's ID - anonymize the user from their own data. (If you used the password hash, you would just have to remember to update it everywhere on password changes - and of course use a hash of the hash so you didn't give away which hash was used.)

For instance, let's say I was UserID 123 which had a FK to a table of bookmarks or history and normally it would be easy to link that user to personable data such as Cancer, Job searches, Pr0n, etc. Now instead, you have a lot of these bookmarks pointing to a hash that was used in the initial user login and not directly linked in the database.

Typically in highly sensitive databases you hash out a new "ID" entirely and reference that. Then you provide a different service and database entirely that correlates two different identities when you need identification. This is similar to how PCI requirements for credit cards store the actual numbers elsewhere and use a token against the system for consumption.
I was there too and don't believe that the problem was with the ticketing system. They overestimated the maximum capacity. The Swamp 81/Numbers stage was massively popular and had a max capacity of 700... for an event with 15,000 attendees.

Indians, because they were forced out of their beloved Work-Land, i.e the West, to move back to India.
