Varão para cortina 
Se você está afim de colocar uma boa cortina no seu quarto, saiba que esta é uma grande escolha que compõe uma harmonia entre decoração, organização e privacidade. As cortinas que são mais faceis de se instalar são aquelas que se sustentam em varões, os varões são grandes barras de madeira onde são colocadas as argolas que penduram a cortina.

Invisible rope tug-of-war on the right!
I'm a little surprised Asylum are moaning about this, because their site suggests they've been around for a few years working in the ad world, and this kind of thing happens all the time.

That said, I refuse to believe LB when they say they didn't show the other production houses Asylum's original piece - it would be very unusual in advertising not to.

Right or wrong, Asylum aren't doing themselves any favours...the ad world in London is very insular, more so than the start-up world. Everybody knows everybody, and reputation is really everything (I work on the outskirts of it, so I speak from some experience).
I love things like this. Things that truly encourage people to just build even if it is very basic. It is such a good learning tool!

How Facebook Authentication For Apps Simplifies Secure User Login
Did they try stock Android, or devices with crap custom interfaces made by HTC and Samsung ? frankly, I wouldn't buy anything unless it has stock android, or let me root it and install stock android. I don't want TouchWiz or Sense. Having a bad experience with Android does not necessarily mean that someone hates android, it just means they hate that particular flavor of Android. Hardware manufacturers (Apple is the exception) tend to suck a LOT when it comes to writing software and it's a real pity that Google didn't chose to do the same thing as Microsoft and enforce their stock UI. Thank god for the Nexus line. Google has a really good OS but the worst strategy.

Android used to be inferior to iOS, but I feel that it has not only reached feature parity now, it has actually gotten much better. I used to feel the wow-factor a lot the first few times I handled my iPad, and none of the iOS update ever made me feel that again, on the other hand, Android Jelly Bean on the Nexus 7 has quite a few things that really surprised me, in a good way.

An example : when browsing places like Slashdot, I often had to zoom in to click comments and show those that are hidden because the links are often close together and too tiny to hit with the finger (which means that without zooming in I often hit the wrong one), and then zoom out to read the page at the correct size. It felt like a chore. But when I got my Nexus 7 and browsed places like Slashdot and Reddit (I don't use custom apps for websites), and tried to hit a link without zooming in, I had the pleasant surprise of seeing a zoom popping up with the cluster of links that were on the place where my finger hit, I tap the link I want in the pop up and it automatically disappear and I don't have to manually adjust the zoom of the page. It was the "Link Preview" feature of Google Chrome. Amazing. I will never be able to use another device again, if only because of that one feature, unless someone else copies it (the irony).

I haven't found a single thing I missed from iOS on the Nexus 7 - Jelly Bean, on the other hand, I discovered things I will miss if I were to leave Android (something that will probably never happen).

Feature wise, Android has left iOS in the dust. You may have a subjective preference to iOS's UI but there is no denying that iOS has less features than Android.
That's happened to me in a pitch process. We did designs, the company rejected us, but then opted to use another agency that used one of our ideas. C'est la vie. That's what happens when one does spec work. But we sucked it up and ended up getting other companies anyway.

However at least in this case, Asylum got paid for their work. And I think they do themselves a disservice by airing dirty laundry out because this is just part of the business. LB decided to go with a bigger production company with a proven track record as opposed to rolling the die on Asylum again. Maybe Asylum should've just looked inward about what steps they should take next time around.
I am suggesting that a right of first refusal etc was incorporated into any agreement with LR as a result of negotiation rather than that they felt entitled to it.

Clearly if they were retained to perform services with a specific scope which they subsequently complied with and got paid for, they should not be complaining that the client then did not use their work subsequently. This again assumes their was some form of assignment in place.
is this supposed to be a TIL post ?
It should also be noted, that you're not being encourage to serve static media with your go app. it's more like fastcgi or wsgi. you would have apache or nginx sitting in front of your app listening only on localhost serving dynamic pages only.
Cowboy developer here. A good part of that is the lack of the Date header. The other main difference is the lack of routing (that you are going to do in any real-world application anyway). Also depends on your Cowboy version, the one that uses Ranch (which I'm about to push) got an increase in performance due to the removal of a bottleneck.

> "think of the prestige!"

I don't see how Asylum couldn't get 100% of the prestige out of this.

Imagine the next meeting Asylum could have had with a potential customer.

Potential Customer: What was your last project?

Asylum: We built the commercial for the Ronald McDonald Foundation. They liked it so much that they re-shot it frame by frame using better equipment. You can see here in this side-by-side comparison how all of our ideas stayed in effect and the second company simply came in and did some minor detail changes.

Asylum are still in the position of the -idea guys- which makes them valuable. At least it did before they decided to slam one of their customers over the internet.
I'm pretty sure any request for right of first refusal would just be shot straight down. Bear in mind ultimately LB doesn't own the work: their client does. LB is one link in a big long outsourcing chain, which is basically how most advertising for large corporations works. You have one big agency at the top, which farms out work to smaller agencies, etc etc.
So, how do these two statements jibe and form part of an sort of coherent argument?

Some other guys had an idea, received validation from two potential clients, raised funding, hired a lot of people, built a product and discovered nobody really wants to pay for it.

Why does it feel like the lean startup movement has given a lot of people the license to produce crap?

The lean startup principles are pretty much specifically against going out, raising funding, hiring a lot of people, and then building something nobody wants. The whole point of Customer Development is to not do all of that until you've validated the market for whatever it is you are proposing to build.

And then you have this statement:

On the other side you have teams producing amazing products. Take for example the Pebble smart watch, the DoubleRobotics telepresence robots, Appfog free PaaS hosting, SmugMug photo hosting, SixthSense or any random project on Kickstarter.

Where the author seems infatuated with a list of products with no commentary whatsoever on whether or not they are successful in the market. You can produce a great product and still fail to have a successful business. So what point is this article really trying to make?

If you’re in a startup looking forward to your next pivot, please just stop. The world doesn’t need another way for consumers to connect with merchants or an app that adds double rainbows to blurry pictures.

And again, we have to sentences that have absolutely no connection to one another.

This article comes off as a mish-mash of interesting thoughts, jumbled together, when the author's point seems to reduce to "work on big, world changing ideas. Where's my flying car?" And that's not a bad sentiment, but this article just seems to ramble all over the place to get there.

No... we could already do that with higher-order functions. We're going backwards here, please read the previous comments, specifically from ajuc.

As stated, a higher order function gives you all of these features already. (The discriminator function I suggested would just return a bool to indicate whether or not error recovery should occuur, which is handled at the call site, in the appropriate context, with the appropriate stack).

All Condition Handling brings to the table is the ability to omit passing the callback around. All the other features were already there.

Edit: mschaef's comment confirms this.
I see idiocracy only in failure to understand, that "common people" have different priorities form you, nerds. And for them security is priority.

When your argument rests on the premise that "common people care more about security than nerds", maybe you should reconsider it.

While I understand the creative spirit isn't always normal, I'd guess the OP is saying if you can't think of a real problem to solve then don't put your (valuable) energy and time into crap.
Producing something meaningful or awesome doesn't solve any of the problems the author describes. Plenty of people build outstanding things that nobody will pay for or care about. Building something "great" doesn't guarantee anything.

Sounds like the author is advocating "if you build it they will come", which only works in Iowa if you are hallucinating about dead baseball players and abducting James Earl Jones.

Pronghorn Antelopes, on the other hand, can maintain speeds of 60 mph for miles at a time. "If the Cheetah and pronghorn were running side by side, and if the track was longer than a quarter of a mile, the pronghorn would win it, no contest," Carmi Penny, director of collections at the San Diego zoo says. While cheetahs have flexible spines which allow their legs to spend more time pushing off the ground, antelopes have long thin limbs that allow them to run both fast and economically. These legs, paired with tremendous aerobic capacity, are what allow the antelopes to outrun most predators. When you get to long distances, the antelopes can sustain 30 mph for about an hour.

I agree. It matches the submissions guidelines too:

If the original title begins with a number or number + gratuitous adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."

As Google customer I wish there were more strong professionals at Google who like legacy maintenance.

Today I received email from Google AdSense about change in their system. The only important part of the change was not even mentioned in that email: AdSese lost my payment information (alongside with all other AdSense users I assume) so I have to re-setup payment information again.

Strong team would be able to preserve customers' payment information during system upgrade, but it wasn't the case today.
I wrote this level on my Ubuntu laptop. I was inspired by the idea of TCP idle scans (http://nmap.org/book/idlescan.html), and spent a lot of time trying to find other ways to do connection counting before I realized that this worked. One thing I really like about it is that in contrast to other levels, this one isn't so much a bug in the code, but instead the interaction between your code and something three abstraction layers down the stack. But it turns out that a lot of real-world security is that. Ultimately, we ended up with a pretty good distribution of solvers (the dropoff between each level is basically linear), which I think is a good sign for our difficulty curve.

Grooveshark app for Android removed from Google Play once again
I've been at Google for about 7 years now and i really dislike what it is today compared to what it was back then. But that said, i still haven't quit because it's so much better than so many other places. Most people i know who quit either went to Facebook (either for the pre-ipo options or because it's apparently easier to launch things there) or to do their own thing. If you have to have a boss and work in a large organization then despite its many, many failings (for they are legion), Google is still by far the best option in software engineering. And the pay and perks are pretty good.

Also, if you are a new grad who like engineering, all of this is pointless irrelevance. If Google makes you an offer shut up and take it for at least 2 years. Even if the project you get is like stabbing yourself in the eye repeatedly, just reading the code in the core google libraries and figuring out why systems are designed the way they are and talking to random people will up your software engineer game much, much, much more than any other place. Talent here is not as uniformly spread as it used to be, but when you find it, the quality of people here will blow your mind. And if you get to work with them, you will up your game even more.

I work at Google, and I think it's great. Keep in mind that there are many, many different projects and groups at Google, and so the explicit set of things that you might work on will vary a lot. However, people can also transfer between projects after a year or two, so there is also plenty of opportunities to find cool work that you are passionate about.

As far as the "cog in a big machine" that people have talked about, it all depends on what you are comparing it against. Speaking as someone who worked at Big Blue for 8 years, people who are complaining about Google employees being a "cog in a big machine" have no idea what they are talking about. Compared to working at 10 person startup where you have no idea if the company will be able to pay your salary six months from now, but where you can have a huge outsized impact on the product, sure. But if you compare how many users will get impacted by your work at Google, compared to at a typical startup, impact is also relative and it all depends on what you are comparing against.

So if you want the adrenaline rush of working at a startup, Google will definitely not be for you. But if you want to work at a company which will very likely be around for a very long time, and where you can have a huge impact, Google is a really good place to be. I'm certainly very happy to be there.

And the biggest reason why I love working at Google? Nearly everyone I meet at Google are amazingly smart, and great to work with, both from a social and a professional point of view. Trust me, this is not necessarily true at many other companies....

(And as far as "shitty legacy maintenance" is concerned, I work in the same department as michaelochurch used to work in, and my team --- the production kernel team --- just recently finished rebasing the Linux kernel which runs in all of the machines in Google's Data Centers to the 3.3 Linux kernel from upstream. So for a month or two, I was a very well paid patch monkey. But then again, it's very careful, exacting work that requires quite a bit more analysis and deep understanding of the code that you might think --- and any mistakes could impact users all over the world. Personally, I found it very satisfying, and at the end of it, we had paid down a lot of technical debt and it will make future engineering work on the kernel a whole lot easier. And now, after taking a week in San Diego to attend the Kernel Summit, and the Linux Plumber's Conference, I'm going to take a week of vacation in Santa Fe, and then I'll be back to making file system and storage better for Google and for Linux.)
It's probably relative at this point. I have some friends who've switched in and out of Google, and while it may not have the same sort of luster it had before, they all seem to agree that it's better than where they used to work, or where they work now.
> If you need a typesafe, generic sorted set with strict efficiency needs

When people ask for things like this, I can't help to think that what they want is not generic at all, they want something very specific to the problem they are solving, in those cases just writing custom data structures is the way to go in any language anyway.

It is the way it has been done in C for decades too.

> Japan and South Korea have an incredibly poor relationship

That's a overly simplistic. The relationship between Japan and Korea is very complicated. They have a long history together, and a lot of culture in common.

There are certain issues over which there is conflict, and certain classes of people within each country that beat the nationalist drums harder than average, but there's also a lot of mutual admiration, especially among the young. The antagonism won't die down anytime soon, but I'd say the trend is definitely downwards.

Not an ex-Googler, but I would ask if "cool" is a metric that you should use as a decision point for choosing whether or not you are accepting any job.

Here are some things that you might want to ask yourself during the decision making process:

* Did I meet my future coworkers? Did my gut have any red flags about any of them?

* Did the prospective work I'm applying for interest me?

* Did the work environment / culture of the team I'm going working with appeal to me? Work environments and subcultures can vary wildly by department in large companies, so sometimes the company's overall reputation may not be representative of the sub-environment you're being recruited into.

* If "career path" is important to me, does the company offer that for the position I'm being recruited for?

* Will I learn anything by being there?

* Does the overall structure and the way the company works fit in with what I'm used to? This is highly personal - what fits one person may not fit another.
