Sure, men in general probably have a greater tendency towards other virtues, but do you really mean to imply that men often lack stuff like "Sociability, "Care", "Empathy" and "Compassion" ?

Didn't a lot of "the big ones" talk about love? I think that encapsulates those values.
The post-IPO "pop" also benefits the giant investment banks that underwrite IPOs; it is essentially a large transfer of wealth from the company to the bank and the bank's best customers, indirected sufficiently so that it's hard to spot.

Whatever you may think of Cuban's caveat emptor stance regarding investor protections, he's right about Facebook's role in the IPO. The CFO's first duty is to the firm, and in this case it appears that Facebook made aggressive decisions to ensure that the IPO benefited them first and foremost. Which, ironically, serves the long-term best interests of outsiders who want a stake in Facebook.

Anecdotally, I have certainly found that although the cost in time may not vary as much as this table would indicate, the cost in stress ramps up even faster. Fixing a bug in production is usually a highly stressful endeavor for all involved. I would love to see a similar table phrased in terms of stress comparing different development methodologies currently in vogue (test and throw it over the wall, CI, automated pushes vs. manual pushes, etc.)
A City is not a Tree - Christopher Alexander
Yeah, at first I was annoyed with the lack of configurability in Gnome 3. But when I discovered you could press the super key and just start typing the name of a program to start it, I found it nicer to use than Gnome 2.

Also, installing plugins for Gnome 3 is really convenient. For example, I didn't like Alt+Tab switching between programs instead of windows, so I installed this: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/15/alternatetab/.

There are still some things that bug me though, like I don't see any way to configure the format of the Date/Time.

GPLv3 and Apache 2.0 are the two most widely used licenses which specifically mention patents. The goal of GPLv3 is (quoting from the license) to "[assure] that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free."

See http://fsfe.org/campaigns/gplv3/patents-and-gplv3.en.html for a long discussion.

The "bright line" isn't always so bright. Consider if a hardware company pays MPEG LA for an MPEG license in order to sell a piece of video hardware based on Linux. The hardware company didn't get the patent, so while they must release the OS source under the GPL, they don't have the right to sublicense.
jasonfried: You write, "this isn’t a traditional investment. We’re not looking to get out, we’re looking to stay in."

I have to disagree with your choice of words: the investment you guys just made is the truly traditional, old-fashioned kind. Consider what John Maynard Keynes wrote about the difference between the way in which professional investors invest in a business, versus the way in which entrepreneurs since time immemorial have committed capital to business endeavors. Most professional investors, Keynes wrote:

are, in fact, largely concerned, not with making superior long-term forecasts
of the probable yield of an investment over its whole life, but with foreseeing
changes in the conventional basis of valuation a short time ahead of the
general public. They are concerned, not with what an investment is really worth
to a man who buys it "for keeps," but with what the market will value it at,
under the influence of mass psychology, three months or a year hence.[1]

Before the advent of financial markets, all investments were made "for keeps" by people looking to "stay in."

Congratulations on making a traditional investment.

PS. FWIW, Keynes accumulated a fortune by investing his own capital during his lifetime.

As a colorblind gamer, I'm always pleased to see an option for colorblind correction in games. It's typically only a problem in competitive games where the team colors might be difficult to tell apart. But I do remember having to enlist help to defeat the last boss of Metroid Prime, who changes colors to indicate what weapon you need to use to damage it.

While this isn't quite on topic, as my suggestion is hardware related, it'd be nice to see some sort of gamepad + mouse hybrid controller. I have a problem with my left hand where I cannot keep buttons held down for long periods of time, such as the traditional WASD movement scheme. I have a feeling that this problem is partially due to excessive game playing, combined with poor guitar technique. This problem of mine pretty much rules out playing online FPS games as aiming with a gamepad puts a person at a severe disadvantage.

Perhaps something designed to be held in the left hand that has an analog stick for movement and a few buttons (almost like half of a controller). That way a person would have the benefits of analog movement and also the precision and speed of a mouse for aiming. Also, it's probably not good in general to keep constant pressure on fingers, so perhaps something like this could reduce the occurrence of RSI. It also might be useful to some people with physical disabilities.

While I have seen two products somewhat similar to this (Logitech and Belkin), they are designed more as a flat keyboard with a small analog joystick -- neither of which I have heard are very good.

Valid point. But my opinion is that you cannot have your whole staff made of the same "category" of people. I guess diversity is not only about race, color or religion, is about people that come from all kinds of backgrounds, I'm "sure" that there isn't one single black guy without a degree that used to live in the bronx there.

I was surprised that Gruber completely ignored the possible penalty to copying, the resulting lawsuits. His football analogy doesn't really stand up because you can't patent the forward pass, or if you could the opposing team runs the risk of having their win vacated if they implement it too.

The lawsuit and Sumsung's (pending appeal) loss is such a huge elephant in the room that by not addressing it, and the similar fate that the other "losers" maybe trying to avoid, I don't think Gruber really said anything of real substance.

Your backhanded compliment is a bit disturbing for being the top comment. I've largely dismissed the complaints about the HN community becoming more negative, largely thinking that mature realism was being mistaken for unwarranted negativity.

However, this comment, along with the negative comments about the uptime of Tindie's blog (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4472348), has me thinking that these complaints of undue negativity are justified.

I find the attention to detail involved in selecting knots to be a tremendously interesting aspect of sending a physical vehicle to mars, and I find it to be a testament to human specialization and intelligence that there's a whole community of knot experts that can provide so much insight into the knot choices.

I don't know, there may be some truth to it. Based on the information I can gather, it seems Bellard's LTE implementation (linked yesterday) was completed over the course of about a year in his spare time. I don't know many programmers that can keep that kind of pace.

If it encompasses more than just the time of writing code, it becomes even more believable. e.g. A great programmer will take a day to implement the given feature and it will be relatively bug free. An average programmer will take a day to implement the given feature and then it will take another nine to work out the bugs introduced.
Based on my own subjective experience I've found the numbers regarding testing to be suspicious simply because "bugs" are so varied that any specific number would be subjective.

I'd always assumed that these numbers referred to an architectural type of bug where, once made, more code is built upon the bug and so a cascading effect occurs. The more code that relies on the bug, the worse it is to fix because you have to fix all of it's dependent code. In some cases you may need to repair data, or entirely refactor sections of an application.

But there's other bugs that are more "typo" level bugs where obviously the time to fix is exactly the same no matter what phase of development.

I had just always assumed those numbers were a worse-case average to encourage developers to better plan their architecture. In part because the context of code complete is more about planning and estimation.

Though there may not be support for the exact figures, I think the point of them is to not let things pile up and to try to put thought into your design especially at the architectural levels.

Developing software for multiple mobile devices
thanks yeah that was annoying...fixed!
I think it's a bit of both, and varies significantly with the domain.

Quick, how do you write an SMTP server, and what are the challenges of making it scale?

Most developers won't know how, to start with. That's fine - that's besides the issue. So they need to look it up.

Here starts the performance gap, even if you deal with people with the same lack of knowledge of the relevant RFC's.

In my experience, there's a vast difference in developers ability to read even relatively simple specs and ensure they develop something that follows it. I mentioned SMTP because it genuinely is a simple standard compared to many of the alternatives. But it has enough edge cases that you'll have a big gap out of the gate instantly between the people who have a problem mentally picturing what the spec is describing and those that can easily and systematically map it out.

Secondly in this case you'd start to see experience gaps. Even assuming most people won't have written an SMTP server, you will start seeing a gap between a group of developers that at least have in-depth knowledge of part of the domain or type of service. That will account for a very substantial difference.

In this case, understanding on how to write efficient, scalable network services makes the difference between the guy that will do horribly inefficient stuff like read()'ing a byte at a time to get a line from the client (I mention this because the MySQL C client libraries did that for years instead of the vastly more efficient solution of non-blocking larger reads into a temporary buffer to avoid the context-switches, so it's not like this is something that only rent-a-coder's with no experience will do).

Just the gap between those that understand the tradeoffs of context switches and threads vs. processes vs. multiplexing connections will account for a fairly substantial factor in many types of problems like this.

Then comes the thorny issue of queues. Most otherwise relatively competent developers will struggle to get this right in a way that is not either slow or full of race conditions. Most competent developers never have to deal with really optimizing disk-IO. Witness the wildly different approaches and performance in established mail servers to see that doing queueing well is hard, and those are the good ones.

That does not mean they won't be able to figure out how to do it well enough for typical use cases.

(I used this example, because I've written several SMTP servers, and managed teams working on mail software, so it's an area where I know the tradeoffs and problem points particularly well)

Then again, when writing your typical cookie-cutter web app, the difference probably won't be 10x because so much more of the time will be spent mediating stakeholder requests vs. solving hard problems.

How the NYTimes avoided disruption
I fear the problems on this empirical approach are deeper.

The main problem is that software metrics are imprecise and non-objective. Lines of code, functional points, code coverage, counting code paths, ... we can't have a metric that can be accepted by everyone, all of them have big flaws. And the metrics are the basis for any reliable analysis, if we can't trust them we can't trust anything.

The second main problem is that it is very hard to isolate things under examination. How can we analyse TDD without taking into account the developer's grasp of good design (coupling and cohesion), Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control, refactoring techniques and tools, etc?

Software Engineering is a lot harder because it is much more akin to the fuzzy social studies (e.g.: economics, sociology, management) than to hard sciences (e.g.: computing science).
That this person is going to design peripherals is pure speculation on the part of the article's author, and it seems to stem exclusively (looking at the original ad) from this sentence: "Even basic input, the keyboard and mouse, haven’t really changed in any meaningful way over the years."

But yes, there is a lot of speculation, of course.
Non shuffled card deck results in 1.5 million casino loss
I sort of agree with you, and sort of don't. The web and mobile do provide fantastic opportunities for children to play with programming.

However, I don't think the languages we use do. Bear in mind I'm talking about young children here - I believe the best approach is to provide ways to abstract away programming complexities (i.e, typing stuff) in the same way we abstract away other complex subjects.

I'm a huge fan of Scratch, which is developed by the MIT Media Lab and is influenced by Logo (http://scratch.mit.edu/) - it's a visual programming language, but one that's coupled with online sharing to encourage people to engage and respond to programs people have created.
"The post-IPO "pop" also benefits the giant investment banks that underwrite IPOs"

Great oxymoron.

If an IPO "pops" post-IPO, and during a defined period of time the underwriters essentially underwrite, a.k.a. insure, the offering at the prospectus price, the appointed underwriting banks have a capital loss in the transaction. In dozens, if not +100 IPOs, underwriting banks have lost money.
