I am sure infrastructure architects or senior sysadmins have their own variations or equivalents of writing code. Like knowing command line usage to the teeth. Making sense of any documentation by just reading man pages, without having to hit Google in dark server rooms.

Or being able to building a Working Linux machine from scratch by compiling the kernel, and installing the utils. Or being able to network and administer a cluster of servers in a data center.

This is vastly different than, a guy who would just draw a block of servers on MS paint and connect them through some lines and then call himself an architect.
To put it bluntly, this guy is being a dick.

> Names of Airbnb reps have been changed.

But not the host's name. A direct link to the host from a high traffic site for everyone to see? Not cool.

I've had hotel bookings cancelled. Airbnb gave the guy a 150 dollar credit! That's pretty good.

> I know this isn't representative of all Airbnb experiences, but I felt my story was worth sharing.

If it's not representative at all (and it isn't, I use Airbnb a lot), what's the point in sharing? Revenge?

Yes! Many commenters here seem to assume he is being hyper-critical of minor details. But to me it reads like someone who legitimately thinks many of these recordings are really sad attempts at playing jazz. I'm not far enough immersed in jazz to be able to tell if I'd agree or not.

But it feels very much like the criticisms I hear all the time in the Irish traditional music scene. I recently listened to a bunch of sound samples from a duo recording by two top Irish musicians. It sounded like two great musicians playing at the same time, rather than an actual duo. The difference was probably all things that someone who wasn't experienced with the field would never notice. For instance, the tiny internal rhythms of the tunes were not syncing up.

My guess is that Davis is hearing things like that in the recordings and legitimately complaining about them, rather than just being hyper-critical. Especially the "What am I supposed to say to that? That’s ridiculous. You see the way they can fuck up music? It’s a mismatch. They don’t complement each other," comment on "Caravan". He sounds really disappointed that three musicians he loves aren't making better music together.

Edited to add: I believe the album in question is Money Jungle. Just listened to a sample from that track. I think I can hear what Davis is talking about, but that might be the power of suggestion. That said, the album as a whole has lots of really favorable reviews on Amazon.com...
You would have to do this enough for it to be statistically significant otherwise it probably just averaged away.

OTOH....once might be seen as smoke-screening, making you more suspicious.
Intraday Tips That Give Positive Results
That's a ridiculously biased comparison - of course tech from the 90s will use less memory and CPU, that was a higher priority in those days. A more relevant question is whether AIR was easier to develop in, or resulted in something that looked better.
Is there a good reason for any country to have spies at all, especially for internal matters?

I feel that spying on other countries (let alone on own citizens) shouldn't exist at all, but it has become accepted by societies as something that the Governments just have to do, to "make their job easier", just like even FBI said recently that they'd prefer if they didn't need to get warrants, because it would make their job easier. Having a democracy and rights for people must be really tough on authorities, or at least that's how they sound.
18 Latin American Tech Hubs You Should Know
This is the most applicable advice I've gotten. I really appreciate it.
Since one person ends up paying the whole thing, it's only fair if the same group of people goes out together frequently, such that there is a reasonable expectation that everyone will end up paying their fair share eventually.

Another downside is the liquidity requirement. To adequately participate, you need to be able to pay for a fairly large number of meals.
" I am a musician myself and I find proof based scientific discussions very claustrophobic at times."

How do you rate the musicians you play with?

I have to make judgements about students and (at this time of year) prospective students in terms of which course and which level to allocate them to.

I imagine that the founders of a startup who are responding to a sudden increase in use/market have to make judgements about their colleagues when scaling up the responsibilties.

The way Davis is making judgements about his peers and the particular recordings shows something about his approach.
TL;DR - This is not splitting the bill, but rather a gamble of paying the entire bill with a probability equal to your share of it.

> The only value add to software development is people who can do software development.

You just described why projects fail. Developers Developers Developers.

Architects? We don't need, we are so smart we integrate everything ourselves. Marketing? Sales? Who needs that, my github repository sells and when it doesn't, there is always oDesk.

And don't get me started over "customers" and "clients".

To cut the sarcasm here, yes, I know that a lot of MBA's and Architects suck. As do a lot of software developers, even if they call themselves agile or know that svm is somehow related to classification.

>more observing the disconnect between the argument ("it doesn't hurt anyone") and the tone ("but DON'T call it stealing!!")

I don't think anyone is claiming it doesn't hurt anyone (if everyone did it... etc), rather protesting against the fact that the copyright maximalist lobby has campaigned, with great success, to conflate two unrelated crimes in people's minds. (I'm not even going to touch the whole 'piracy' thing)
I don't know about you, but I hate seeing people be played for fools.

Re-usable assets are not the answer. Procedural generation of assets using re-usable blueprints under creative commons to enable rapid generation of unique variants of an existing object are the answer. Combine this with more powerful editing tools with the ability to mold blueprints together, and the uniqueness, creativity and soul of an artistic vision can be preserved while drastically decreasing development time.
Totally with the author. I think these realisations come with age (they did with me anyway). Not that my time is worth huge money or anything...

There is of course another parameter in the trade-off which the author ignores: optics. Depending on one's position, it may be important to be seen to be frugal. For one thing, as @gfodor says above, 'frugality breeds more frugality' [through the organisation etc.]. For another, I would think that dispensing with frugality inhibits the moral authority of a person in authority who must periodically cut costs, cancel bonuses etc. etc.
Honestly? That's the only way to get a representative demo nowadays. I'm not at all ashamed to say I pirate the shit out of anything that costs more than about $20 to see if they'll fit my needs and run on my system before giving anyone a cent.

The experiences that were made from privatizing Swedish schools were:

* generally worse results and increased inequality

* 5 companies dominate the market, and makes huge profits

* Sweden has fallen from 3rd to 19th on the PISA test in reading.

* huge quality differences between schools

* schools have become a "sorting machine" where motivated parents and pupils choose certain schools and avoid other schools.

* The experience from Sweden, and research from OECD shows that more competition in school does not produce better results.

>facebook has a similar level of information about you and they haven't done much harm with it.

Facebook does not have anywhere near the level of surveillance that the NSA possesses. Please read the article again and do some research on the case. That being said, Facebook does have a lot of information about you. It will remain confidential until CISPA passes, at which point it will be legally beneficial for them to hand over this information to the government.

GNU Screen http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/ also supports multiple users per session, so you can use it for remote pair programming as well. I believe it supports most of the same things as tmux except the vertical splits (although I seem to remember there being a patch to add that). I'm not advocating one over the other, I'm just a long-time, happy screen user who's never taken the time to investigate tmux.
> Interesting, but very Intel-centric, the name of the site should probably reflect that. Anyone doing this stuff for fun would probably have a lot more fun on a 68k or MIPS or ARM.

OSdev is very x86 centric. However, x86_64 is not as bad as you seem to imply. The instruction set is horrible but it's not like you're going to mess with assembly a lot anyway. Memory management units and interrupt controllers, etc are the important bits and they're just fine in x86.

I get a great satisfaction of being able to boot into my toy operating system on the hardware I normally use. And that is an x86. Running inside an emulator or a dev board with dangling wires is not half as fun.
IQ is one of those “look for the keys under the streetlight” things. It's for people who really care about intelligence being something measurable as a decimal number. In every study that isn't a meta-study like this one, the tasks that were measured are available and will tell more of the story.

Our minds are modular, studies measuring ability at precise tasks can improve our understanding of it. I wish people didn't try to make silly sweeping statements on nature vs nurture something that science has to care about.

The only justification for this paper is that it is debunking a book that was originally pseudoscience, but the whole discussion that followed that book is flawed for letting that book set the framing that intelligence boils down to one number.
tmux + iTerm2 are the best things ever (except for the copy/paste issues).
Actually those quotes reflect the same sentiments that I recall were expressed in an interview with OBL that either Time or Newsweek published prior to 9/11. I wish I could find a definite pointer to that issue, to check my recollection.

As a rule, most of history's bad actors -- Hitler, Lenin, bin Laden, G. W. Bush (via PNAC), and others -- have telegraphed exactly what they intend to do, years beforehand. Is it really their fault when nobody cares?

Thanks. Having a look
nice approach and i like the fact that at least something changes in school system since it needs to be improved for sure.

still i dont like schools to earn so much money. teachers and school managers need incentives to provide excellent lessons. but so much money as a profit?

another point is the philosophy of the school.
on the one hand they say that every student can learn at "his own level" but on the other hand they prefer standardization over everything else.

they only want the standardization to be used at the framework, the process side. they dont want every student to learn the same things at the same speed.
still it sounds like a contradiction to me.

with some improvements this could be a very nice approach.
employees should be able to get really big bonusses based on performance. half of the net profit should be used for investments and the other half should be extra tax for the goverment since imo schools should not accumulate huge profit amounts..

I have also found screen sharing to be way too slow for remote pairing. A good bit of our development is in Visual Studio, though, and I haven't found a good way to remotely share an editor session other than screen share. For our Python/Ruby work I'll definitely try this out, though.
The css selector performance myth
just in case anyone isn't aware of it, wemux https://github.com/zolrath/wemux/ makes paired programming very easy to setup for tmux, many of the 'issues' discussed are also pretty solvable with a bit of googling..

there's various different work arounds.. a recent one I came across was to make sure your vim is compiled with +xterm_clipboard and +clipboard.. then doing "r+ allows you to paste directly from your clipboard using vim rather than relying on whatever your terminal emulator gets up to..

vim --version | grep clipboard to check how your vim was compiled

also, adding the following to ~/.tmux.conf is useful

--------------

#copy tmux paste buffer to clipboard

bind C-c run "tmux show-buffer | xclip -i -selection clipboard"

#copy clipboard to tmux paste buffer and paste tmux paste buffer

bind C-v run "tmux set-buffer --- \"$(xclip -o -selection clipboard)\"; tmux paste-buffer"

This isn't about the left wing or the right wing, it's the authoritarian wing. Jeff Flake, Ron Paul, Justin Amish, Gary Johnson, Rand Paul are all right wing and don't want to see you under the eye or chain.

On the authoritarian left, we have Obama:

- Ordered the killing of US citizens with no due process.

- Signed the National Defence Authorization Act, so now any American, at home or abroad, can be locked up with no trial at Guantanamo.

Many other examples. Not all the right is authoritarian and not all authoritarians are right.

I don't like this approach.

Earlier this year saw some referrals from a hacking forum from a young gentleman petitioning the cracking community to crack our software for him:
http://www.hackforums.net//showthread.php?tid=2148782
(You may have to register to view the thread)

I engaged in conversation with that community briefly and told them a little about us, and asked them what was unfair about our pricing and if they had any better ideas for us.

The response was extremely positive and supportive, and we received some emails with helpful advice about how to protect our program from crackers like themselves.

I've no idea if we got any more sales than we would of otherwise, but we engaged with a community in a respectful manner and it's likely we delayed cracked versions of our software being made freely available.

The problem I see with the OP's method is firstly I would be peeved if I was a legitimate customer and interpreted this post as rewarding bad behaviour.

Secondly as OP has publicly posted this he might actually lose revenue from future customers purposefully entering wrong keys to gain access to the coupon code. If OP redacts this now, customers might be annoyed by this and ask for discounts, or even find alternatives. So it's quite short sighted to post this in my opinion.

Thirdly and possibly most importantly is that it's boiling the company-customer relationship down into a purely financial one. A relationship with a potential customer (no matter what their software ethics are) should be more than that, and it can have unexpected rewards like we experienced.

The message in the OP is disrespectful as well, it's highly accusing (is there any risk legitimate customers could see this?). It's my opinion that these sorts of tactics don't do your company and favours in the long term, although in the short term you might collect a handful more dollars.
I agree.

I generally offer more if I feel I've consumed more - "hey, I had four drinks and you had two, you don't have to pay for me" - but if they insist on splitting evenly I am OK with that.

Same thing if I'm the underconsumer - I don't want to show up at 2230, have a beer, and split a check that's been open since 1700, but if the differences are small then even split is just fine.
"The school demanded a very high level of motivation and discipline. And this makes it problematic, since quite a lot of students at that age were ill prepared to face that."

Cherrypicking of the self motivated ones will reduce the level of motivation and self-discipline seen in the 'safety net' schools. Not good for society as a whole. I worry about this in the UK.
It shouldn't be for moving ones and zeros, but imagine this:

Don't blog on silos
I have noticed some unexpected behaviour in the past with joins vs N+1 selects.

I was using an ORM (hibernate) for a webapp connected to mysql.
When I turned on the query log I found a lot of N+1 Select stuff going on.

I made the joins explicit, expecting a performance gain.
When I tested the performance again, using apache benchmark and also a query profiler I discovered that there was absolutely 0 performance difference between the 2 solutions.
These were with some reasonable sized datasets, ~20k entries across 2 tables.

I guess this is because of some sort of optimisation done at the mysql level.

I guess that my experiment did not take into account running the same set of queries more "spaced out" in time with other different queries (to account for caching etc).

Perhaps though it is possible that ORM designers are aware of these kind of optimisations so don't really worry about these queries as much as might be expected?
This made me smile, but I think Perl is more like Robert Pollard/Guided by Voices. Both seem like kind of a mess to the uninitiated (and even the initiated). Both hit their stride in the mid-90s. And both are still around, remain influential, and are just as productive today, even if they have a lower profile.
Just lifting the curtain will hopefully be enough, if you really need to say anything after doing that...

We are sitting in the theater and the curtains are closed, we are reading the program. The program says "It's okay, nothing is happening behind the curtain." After everyone read their program 99% of the crowd leaves because they think they know enough. Then that 1% is eagerly waiting to see the show. And there are a few people trying to sabotage the place and open the curtains so that the people can see the show. Those curtains are not going to open themselves.
I guess I was thinking mostly about books. A phone makes sense since Amazon sells a lot of content that people consume on their phones, particularly music, and to a lesser extent, movies and books. As a defensive move against Google Play, it makes even more sense.
