To be honest, you are way too generic with what you are calling 'good code'. Its stupid to evaluate 'good code' without a context and a goal. By context, I mean what is the purpose of the code and what were the constraints, and by goal I mean what was the coder trying to optimize (speed, memory, readability, modularity). The way you've phrased this experiment seems pretty dumb without either of these being clearly defined.
OSX, because of its big corporate watchdog, and the separation of the 'GUI' layer and the unix layer, has the cleanest directory structure by far IMO. Most of the times you don't even need a manpage or google to find out how to repair a misbehaving application - just delete its plist in ~/Library/Preferences, possibly also its ../ApplicationSupport directory. The OSX defaults system is so well designed, every time I need to do support on other systems I just ask myself why not every OS works this way. I can understand why Linux is the way it is and I like that too (for other reasons), but it at least shows why the Windows Registry is such a bad idea.

Get a partner to work on it with. Set some times, split up the responsibilities (so you both have to do less) and work on it as much as possible while you can. Your work will motivate each other.
my problem with that "one" directory is that i have to take care specifically to back it up. applications that at least use ~/.cache means i don't have to worry about backing up a bunch of useless stuff.
Slightly pedantic, but you're correct. I meant that he's right that the standard logging library sucks. I guess I think it sucks more than he does, though, becuase I did write my own library.

If anything, in my opinion it's that very speculation coming to life that will do it.

Just some facts for those that don't understand how Metro AG can strong-arm Microsoft into changing their brand name: Metro ows Media Markt ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Markt ) and Saturn ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_(store) ), both of which are huge electronics stores in Europe all the way to Russia. Media Markt is the second largest electronics retailer after Best Buy _worldwide_. Both already have an agreement with Apple about store in store. The worst thing Microsoft could do is piss them off, even if they would win the trademark dispute in court.

Also, it would lead to the strange situation that you could buy "Metro" (the UI) products in a "Metro" store, which could lead to actual confusion.

Could it be that newspaper and subway system that were named Metro are both operating locally so there's no brand confusion while Metro AG has worldwide operations?
I would have liked to see some sort of continuous integration going on. The assets are the winning clip, athlete (name, gender, sport), winning result, and whatever other metadata they need. Once all those are fed in, a build process is automatically triggered which constructs the completed commercial by integrating the clip into an appropriate base commercial (overlaid green screen, audio track), outputting the result on a whiteboard by displaying the first part of the time off-camera using a hand-drawn font (for the "4:05." part in the commercial) and then animating the hand to draw the remaining digits.

Once all is rendered, it triggers an approval process by the agency and then by AT&T/NBC and, 5 minutes later, the commercial goes live. That's how I'd want to do it. Perhaps there is also Olympic committee approval, FCC involvement... who knows what other regulations they need to jump through.
Then you don't sign up... Startups aren't obligated to give us everything we want and they certainly don't owe us anything. I personally don't like signing up for services using my email and I don't like signing up using Facebook... However, I don't expect startups to cater to everyone with a non-majority preference. Either I make some sort of sacrifice to use their free service, or I don't use their free service.

Rocketry is a dual-use technology; it can be used for good (satellites, exploration, science) or for launching explosives around the world. Paints are also a dual-use technology; it can be used for good (art) or evil (it can get you high).

I think plenty of people expected it. Many people have been shouting warnings on the dangers of HFT for years, so I doubt that 'Few Expected' it would all go badly for some wealth destroying Wall St firm some day.
Maybe what was unexpected is that it was the owners of these wealth sucking machine that got burned rather than the 'muppet' retail investors this time.
There's an amazing textbook titled "On Cooking" which is the single most influential resource I've used for learning how to seriously cook.

I have a hard time imaging a world is with a huge crash in education. Does this mean fewer colleges and more students going into trades? Radically lower tuition? Fewer tenured professors, and more adjuncts and visiting professors with three-year contracts?

Speaking of the latter, there is the disruption of online course offerings. These are creeping in from the bottom, replacing introductory lectures, and working their way up. Online classes allow schools to take the already squeezed adjuncts and grad students and pay them even less to help grade/moderate the online variants. Meanwhile eating away at the consensus that education is a series of seminars amongst the wise.

I think there is still a lot of potential in twitter as a platform, specifically for the data they hold. There is a lot of information shared on twitter which previously didn't exist on the internet. It would be shared by people chatting to each other, maybe msning colleagues or emailing links to friends etc. That information suddenly being available is what I think is interesting, and still worthwhile building on.

Back in the day, building a twitter client may have seemed reasonable but ultimately turned out to to be 'snatching coins from in front of a steamroller'. I think if you're building something which is a replacement or improvement on the twitter browser UI you're clearly taking a risk. I don't know that other uses of the data they hold are such a risk. Obviously I could be wrong but for me it's at least on the opposite end of the risk spectrum from twitter clients.

4x4 cars are famous for their qualities like fuel consumption and engine capacity. If you intend to drive off road or save a lot of time then a 4x4 would be a better option for you. There are many automotive portals where you can find the lot of information about 4x4 vehicles.

No, I plan on employing the same system that Tahoe does: I will optionally incorporate a random convergence secret. This effectively disables the deduplication properties, but provides a defense against these two attacks. This convergence secret can be added to the end of every capability token, or optionally omitted (in which case I use zeroes). So you have two options: allow deduplication but be susceptible to the confirmation of file attack/learn the remaining information attack, or more security but with duplication.

Cryptographically this feeds in as a salt/initialization vector to HKDF along with the entire plaintext. HKDF is then used to generate a key and iv for use with AES

So then we're back to the previous comment: what does IE have anything to do with this? If your browser crashes because of a misbehaving script... I'm not saying you're using IE, but you're surely not using a browser that fits your needs. Chrome simply crashes the tab, and Firefox hangs for a few seconds until it asks if you want to stop the script.

What you're looking for is browser sandboxing, and it exists.
Congrats tptacek.

Besides being very happy for you, I'm now very happy for myself, for listening to your advice during the last half-year of starting my own consulting business.

So congratulations, and I hope you have a lot of fun with your new friends at sibling companies! Much deserved!
Not for Facebook, no. I won't take it for free. However, I think that maybe you have a germ of an idea.

The thing is, what is important about a social network? the other people on the network. If you had a quality filter on that network, sure, I'd pay a buck.

Some people would even argue that the buck /is/ a quality filter... to some extent, it is, if you use that dollar to verify the identity of the user in question. (I mean, this is important more on professional networks, like linkedin) but yeah, in some contexts? that'd be great.

but, if you mean "can facebook make money from charging people a buck a year?" my guess is "probably not." - it would have to be a niche network.
Making everyone pay isn't a solution, it's a business plan.

When I go out to a loud club I can still communicate and no one comes around telling me it's against the club rules to try to.

The Olympics would be nothing without our ability to communicate about them. IMHO that's one of the biggest failings of NBC this year. They're doing a horrible job of communicating the Olympics. Opening up the communication channels just brings more interest, more coverage and more excitement.

Not allowing your name to be used is quite normal. Company I know doesn't allow other companies to show that they have that company as a customer.

Reason for that is branding. The other company is basically advertising using the name of another company. That is a big no. It is sort of saying "company X buys from us, so you should too".
Regarding the video quality, they do stream some games in HD. As far as I know, it's still a minority of games at this point though.

While its completely within Dribbbles right to not cater for Spec work, and might make complete sense. I really dislike and disagree with the indignation surrounding spec work and propogated by things like NO!SPEC.

Spec work doesnt harm the creative industry, the fact is a lot of clients just want cheap decent looking logos / website designs, and there are a lot of designers that are willing to do the work even with a risk of not getting paid, likely because they are inexperienced and have a hard time finding standard paid contracts. Designers get experience, some money and an opportunity to grow into a career they are interested in, the client gets a reasonable quality product at a cheap price and low risk to them.

Nobody forces designers to take on spec work, as long as the structure of the work / payment is clear to both the designer and the client then they are both willingly taking it on.

I agree this will be the problem with service-like spaced repetition software like Memrise. They will start off with beginner examples and then totally drop off once you transition into intermediate.

My opinion is that SRS must be ingrained with your own interests. Additionally, the base decks on Memrise don't use further flash card techniques other than Q/A or word/definition. Cloze deletion cards come to mind when memorizing things much easier.

This is one of the problems. The framework is good, but content usually isn't. Content in SRS is really hard because language learning should collide with interests in order to feed the fuel.

More dedicated SRS users will just move to something more portable to create their content more easily/personally and beginners eventually drop off.

More than likely, but it is understandable that nobody would want to be associated with what microsoft is pushing out as a UI.

I also wonder though that it is this late stage that perhaps Metro AG is not that big of a global brand that the only confusion would be non existant. Especialy as there business appears as unrelated as any paper or tube train.

Still its PR for Metro AG and given the late stage maybe some potentual pay off from Microsoft, why else leave it until now.
Outside of startups and operations, college degrees still seem to be pretty mandatory, and even more so outside the US.
