How many of your bosses were assholes?

Asshole wise I think Jobs might have been on the gentler side than some I've worked for.

Ever worked in a bank for a trading desk or a trader? That trader will make Jobs look like father christmas.

Bezos, the old bill gates, jobs,Steve balmier, marissa Mayer, all of my bosses except 2, Bloomberg, - all mutherfucking ahole bosses. Hell During my first stint, I sucked at it too. Don't single out jobs here.

The Only one who has grown up is Gates. In my mind Gates beats all these guys fr the amazing foundation he as created and how he has reinvented himself completely and the vigorous passion with which he is helping humanity.

I never thought I'd defend gates-I hae windows mre than anyone I know.

The following is from a hellbanned user, but damned good info so I'm reposting it:

Groupon actually has substantially changed their payout terms, from their 10-Q http://investor.groupon.com/financials.cfm

> Our current merchant partner arrangements are structured as either a redemption payment model or a fixed payment model defined as follows:

> Redemption payment model - Under our redemption merchant partner payment model, we collect payments at the time our customers purchase Groupons and make payments to most of our merchant partners at a subsequent date. We utilize this model in most of our international operations as it conforms with the local market practice. Using this payment model, merchant partners are not paid until the customer redeems the Groupon that has been purchased. If a customer does not redeem the Groupon under this payment model, we retain all of the gross billings for the Groupon purchase. The redemption model generally improves our overall cash flow because we do not pay our merchant partners until the customer redeems the Groupon.

> Fixed payment model - Under our fixed merchant partner payment model, we pay our merchant partners in installments over a period of generally sixty days
If I undestood well what you are trying to say, your comment about jquery and css is a bit worrying, because it implies you think jquery is a visual effects library, while it's much more than that and by avoiding it you are probably just missing the point of using it. DOM manipulation fax exceeds stuff that is considered a cool effect you can replicate with css3. Maybe you just worded it badly, but even if, it still doesn't look good.

The above can be one reason why you probably missed some internships, but nothing is lost. If you want to progress you should refocus a bit on acquiring more general knowledge about, well, how sausage is made, and from there take a path towards the stuff you really want to do. I'm not implying you don't know any of this, just saying that "My strongest suits are CSS3, HTML, JS" isn't a great selling point for a hire, and from my personal experience with people I had to work with on projects, coders that market themselves as 'html/css guys' aren't really that great at actually helping me build websites. Why, you ask? Because working strictly on decorating front-end doesn't give you the experience of how products are developped in the long term, and it really narrows your point of view on about what you should expect to happen in the process (I'd have some horror stories to share, but that's not the point right now). Second, if I asked you why you used mongo or redis, and why you don't know sql, would you know how to answer so I don't think you just grabbed the latest tech of the week popularity contest winner? Maybe you would, but you should get my point by now - your description of the stuff you can do is weak.

You will have more success when you'll be able to convince with certain truthfulness that you know the basics of how web software works, how certain technologies interact with each other, that you have experience with tools, and that you'll be a helpful pair of hands willing to learn and not an obstacle - selling as a css magician just doesn't do that. To get experience, you probably need that awesome internship, but to get that internship, you have to convince your employee that you have done your homework.

Before you are a rails-sinatra-ruby-mongo-redis-jquery programmer who prefers tech A over tech B because X and Y, you are a programmer. Are you? If yes, tell it. If not, start working on being one.

> My current internship is working exclusively with these

Tell them you'd like to expand your experience. Ask them to move you to work a bit closer to the backend guys if it's possible. Even if it doesn't happen right now, they will know you want to progress and not just sit there.

Are you saying that the assembly line work that Ford studied was a complex cognitive task? Not according to the people who did it - in fact a major reason cited for quitting was that the work was so boring!

Luckily that type of work has been pretty much replaced by robots today.

Assembly line work is exhausting - very exhausting. However you can continue to do it while your brain is shot. This contrasts with programming where you simply usefully can't work on many problems unless you're in good enough shape to keep the necessary state in your head.

And an incidental note about your dad. Driving involves a lot of complex visual recognition and situational awareness of a constantly changing environment. We do not think of this as a complex cognitive task because we're wired to do it without even being aware of doing so. But when you look on a brain scan, huge parts of your brain light up and are working. This is real mental effort being made, and it is no surprise that you get tired after constantly doing it for long enough.

When using mail most people don't want to let know when they read a mail. I do for instance because it hurts my privacy. If the notification was delayed so that the sender doesn't have the precise time when I red the mail, it could reduce the problem. Though in other context, like intra-work, beeing able to know when someone opened a mail might be of value for both ends.

Add to the equation the spammers who would be delighted to know if their mail was red.

Provide a Kindle alternative without spending any money
Don't worry, I am convinced that checkbox does absolutely nothing, enabled or not. I just moved within Austin, and I didn't hack the form. I selected the option for supplying my own modem because it was available, and the technician was still blindsided when he saw my modem.

To top it off, this was a transfer, so it should not have been news that I brought the modem from my previous apartment, especially given that I selected the checkbox confirming this. While holding the modem he brought along to install, the technician informed me that I also had a modem attached to my account supplied by them three years ago, and asked where it was. I was not paying for a modem that was listed on my account for three years--I verified this. Laughable account auditing on their part (that should be automated), no loss for me, and neither party has any idea where that modem wandered off to.

The technician was pleasant and the installation only took a few minutes, so I count myself lucky. Overall, though, it was incredibly sloppy and didn't exactly inspire confidence.

Par for the course, I suppose, because three years ago they goofed up my work order by never completing the scheduling process, but confirming the time and date of the appointment with me. Then, after apologizing, they scheduled the new work order another two weeks out.
How is your "do not respond before" implemented? Does it sleep? Or busy-wait? Either is basically detectable because it affects (or doesn't) the performance of everything else on the machine (such as pings, other web requests, SSH login, etc).

But yes. Every layer you add (maybe) makes it a bit harder for an attacker. You simply can't stop a dedicated attacker, reasonably speaking.

"Do not respond before" would at least make an attacker have to use a (somewhat) less reliable second channel to find out. Expensive, but it would do you a bit of good against casual attackers.

Beyond that, you can't really block unless you block all the channels -- i.e. add a "do not respond before" to everything, not even just web requests.

Also, when you say "do not respond before" is a header, I assume you mean set by your reverse proxy before the back en handles it. Clearly setting that from the client won't do you any good at all :-)
I think the keywords are that SDN makes these things easier, cheaper and more manageable by abstracting it out of the network hardware and into the software, specifically virtualized software. That is why VMWare sees a good fit in Nicira.
Some of the secret details are in my theme: https://github.com/davvid/oh-my-zsh/blob/davvid/themes/davvi...

ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_DIRTY=""
ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_CLEAN=""

which lets it avoid expensive checks that my prompt doesn't need (it already shows that info elsewhere).

The real big win is that I export `POST_1_7_2_GIT=1` in `~/.zshrc` and the tweaks I made teach the git plugin to use `--ignore-submodule=dirty` when calling `git status`, which makes a huge difference.

I haven't caught up with oh-my-zsh in a bit; if there's a good place for me to rebase onto and do a new pull request I will. Does anybody know who the real oh-my-zsh maintainer is these days?
That was what I observed when working at EA (I was actually part of the EA Spouse settlement so this kind of comes home).

Probably 10-20% of the people on the dev team just loved it. They couldn't get enough. That includes engineers and artists. They could work from 9am to 11pm for months.

But then management expects 100% of people to be like that. And there's peer pressure not to let down your coworkers. But in reality some people just have more stamina, and can get more done with the incremental hour, while for others it was just clocking time and being a zombie.

I definitely couldn't get much more done in all those late nights, although it in part it has to do with the fact that there was some sort of "schedule". If you know that you can take a day or 2 off whenever you want, you're likely to have more stamina for a 16 hour bender.

Anyway, there is so much human variation in other things; it doesn't surprise me at all that it's true for how many hours you can productively work in a day. I would bet startup founders need that stamina, although I'm sure there are many more components to success.

IOS Privacy Monitoring App Clueful Booted from App Store
Twitter uses Scala for most backend stuff...
Actually no. Like most things it takes a while for the market to correct.

The quantity of crap produced is large, it begins to swell and what emerges is a discrimination filter. Be it review magazines, web sites, or even word of mouth. Take a look at computer games, initially people were putting out what seemed like lunar lander clones in BASIC and selling them on the Apple II and becoming zillionaires. And a lot of crap followed in little baggies. Sometimes there were gems like Ultima, but a lot of times there was crap. And to filter through the crap came user groups and other communication venues where the goal was to not bother with the crap but buy the 'good stuff'.

The total crap fell by the wayside and the cost of entry got higher because you needed talent a few production points to make it past the crap filter. Lots of magazines made a ton of money being crap filters. PC Gamer was one of my favorites at the time. The market matured and you got the 'studio' system and even higher production values. Some people made it big in computer games but it required actual talent or at least a decent idea.

The 'AppStore' as an environment for software delivery has been around 5 years. We're in the Microsoft Flight Simulator 1.0 era relative to that. The arguments were the same "You can't make any money selling games, its too hard, no one buys them, the market is illusory." But the reality was that the market was developing, and during development early movers get an advantage but they don't necessarily win or even complete the race.

People have needs that can be filled by applications running on their phone/tablet that would serve them better than a similar application running on a laptop. Selling applications that can solve those problems can support a development team working on the problem. There are multiple ways to monetize now that didn't exist before. Solve a need, get paid. But understand that some great ideas solve no problems and are thus not convertible into cash.

Until you can talk to your computer and it can figure out what you want and synthesize a solution on the fly, there will be a market for 'apps.' Give it another 5 - 10 years before you write it off.
That is the point of the discussion. Could you explain ?
People always work for money. Otherwise it's a hobby.

People may be motivated to stay longer/leave earlier based on other factors. But money will.always be the main drive. Even if you're starring your startup...

No one really makes much money on interest anymore. Currently interest rates for short term cash holdings are very, very low everywhere you could park money. It's more about cashflow for Groupon versus actually making money on the float.

> I can't help but read this with a pinch of salt. Yes, it's fascinating that these gorillas have learned this new behavior and are passing it down. And I think almost everyone wants to see endangered species protected. Yet I can't help but feel there is something quite pretentious about all this. We sit here cheering on the destruction of these traps, when in all likely-hood there are people who depend on them for sustenance. And really it's rather disingenuous to call the people setting these traps "poachers". Normally when you think of poachers you think of thuggish killers only in it for a profit. But even in this article, which to me appears quite biased, they admit that the traps are set by local bush-meat hunters. What they do might technically be illegal (though those laws likely only exist because of Western pressure), but to them it's just a way of life. I know Diane Fossey had trouble with the locals when she first showed up and started dismantling traps. I seem to remember from an Adam Curtis documentary that they even killed a couple gorillas just to spite her. But I don't think they have a complete disregard for the natural world that surrounds them. They just hold their own survival/advancement in higher regard. And who are we to really judge that, given that most Western affluence came at the expense of vast ecological destruction.

Maybe I am reading this wrong but I am getting a sense that you think Africa is filled with "noble savages" who are getting corrupted by western influences. Having grown up in Africa, let me hasten to assure you that there are enough Africans who care a lot about making sure that their beautiful flora and fauna is protected for future generations. Simultaneously it is Human nature that there will be people who either out of desperation or malice wish to kill and plunder wildlife. I don't buy the way of life argument when one gets to use sophisticated weaponry (guns may or may not be used in this case but there are enough cases where guns are used to wipe out wildlife) to plunder the wealth of the country. I hate to use a straw man here but I could very well use the same reasoning to argue that one shouldn't interfere in the Hutus vs Tutsi's war because tribal strife has been going on for centuries.

> And imagine what it must be like for these people to see some foreigners come in and spend tons of money and energy on saving gorillas and basically treat you as the enemy. I'd probably be thinking, why the hell aren't they helping me instead, is my life worth less than a gorillas to them?

> But hopefully while we cheer on the survival of the gorillas, we should also spare a thought for the survival of the local humans as well. This article certainly didn't. In fact it pretty much cast them as the villains who were heroically thwarted by a couple brave young gorillas.

You are arguing a false dichotomy here. Helping people by pouring money into Africa hasn't exactly been useful. The entire clothing industry in Africa is hosed because some wise people had the bright idea of donating a ton of used clothes there. Same with the agricultural industry where local farmers can't compete with "free aid".

I have to give this guy credit for trying. Not my bag but best of luck to him.
What do you think herds of corporate Java/C# programmers do with their auto complete/intellisense laden IDE's? That is nothing short of coding equivalent of assembly line work.

Do you actually know what assembly line work is?

You have power screw driver, an endless line of doors coming towards you, and an endless supply of screws also coming towards you. Pick up screw, place in hole, push on it with your screw driver. Repeat. There is no variation, only endless repetition.

It is a little known fact that the assembly line was originally inspired by a disassembly line. Specifically disassembling dead animals from whole bodies to specific cuts of meat in a meatpacker's plant. The body is coming towards you, whack off the leg, toss in that basket over there. Repeat.

The fact that different popups have different associated messages makes even the most routine coding infinitely more varied than an assembly line.

Try this. Spend an hour typing out:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
...

That will give you a taste of how boring an assembly line is. (But not really, the task you're being asked to do there is more complex than the repetitive task than what an assembly line worker in Ford's day would be asked to do. Unless, of course, you cut and paste instead of typing.)
Exactly because the dictatorial aspect can as much backfire as it can succeed. Remember Jobs had his fair share of successes and failures, its that the successes were mostly accumulated up towards the recent part of his life thus making him look more successful than he probably was.
Any reads you suggest? I am fascinated by the idea of opening a restaurant.
I think the main difference is engagement vs grinding. Take gaming for example. How many hours can you sink into that? My personal experience was that I could go pretty hard at it with very little sleep (I know, i know) and still be quite effective. I get the same way when im hacking away at something i love. Right now, im trying to put together a JS debugger for vim. Its 3am here and I can just keep on going.

Now, the same cant be said about writing TPS reports.
When EMC'ers get nervous, they get mean. I'd be more worried about them meddling in VMware's affairs. They've done this before when they shoved a whole bunch of software products onto VMware that they didn't want.
