Exactly. It's sad that HP appears to operate by sniffing out extremely short-term opportunities instead of laying the groundwork for anything vaguely long-term. Or, rather, they lay the groundwork then rip it up, lay the groundwork then rip it up.

This reeks of desperation.
This is just wrong and needs to die and go away. It's probably fun to read for the 1st minute.
I would love to know more about this two pass migration strategy.
I suggest you go find some nearby open wifi in use, spy on some people, then tell them what you've found and see how they react to it. Report back when you're done... If you can....
Why not? Is there a difference in the actual chip? I thought it was just a trimming of the plastic around the chip.

Yeah, putting the slatted frame directly on the floor is just a spleen of mine. Also I didn't want to spend any money on, what people call a "bed", because it doesn't improve comfort. (But can indeed be useful for storage.)
This is the security equivalent of having a giant flashing neon sign saying, "the door is unlocked, please come steal my stuff." That is to say, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who cares to look, so there's no reason to try to hide it, even temporarily.
Do you have specific knowledge of Apple and Foxconn's relationship? Tooling costs are routinely passed from suppliers to finished goods makers.

I assume they depend on macros to do so? That changes the game. Hans Boehm has an excellent paper on this issue titled "Threads Cannot be Imlemented as a Library": http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2004/HPL-2004-209.pdf That paper was published in PLDI (http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1065042).

His arguments have much to do with what the compiler doesn't know, which could potentially be solved with macros.
I'm fairly lucky in that my work gives me a new phone about every year. So far I haven't had to pay for it, even though I've been using it for more than a year.

I'm not sure how that works with their "login" stuff, though, since I'd get a new IMEI with each new phone, but it just seems to work and the contact list is still there...

Personally, I'd always assumed there was no security at all and it just worked off your phone number. Certainly, I never treated any of it as in any way secure.
if you're programming for the web, give it a Go.
I think they are a bit more than just a reseller.
Given the second requirement was to "use Go", I think Go was the right choice for that project.
well no. that only works if the people can buy.
Any possible mechanism, algorithm, or feature with an explanation that can be reasonably expressed using the English language.
Probably not. Go is still in its infancy and not especially well-supported. If pyparsing is solving your problems well, stick with it. Python is great.

Of course if speed is important, you should ditch CPython anyway.
Well, I have to say... replication related issues like this are why I/we are now using a Galera backed DB cluster. No need to worry about which server is active/passive. You can technically have them all live all the time. In our case we have two live and one failover that only gets accessed by backup scripts and some maintenance tasks.

Once we got the kinks worked out it has been performing amazingly! Wonder if GitHub looked into this kind of a setup before selecting the cluster they did.
Very interesting! Thanks.

The idea comes from 10 years of working with them as an external vendor. I see all sorts (but especially Python and C++) on prop desks, but mostly C# in other areas (integration, data management etc.) That being said, nearly all of my experience is in front office trading and asset management, primarily in listed instruments, with little on OTCs, and nothing on payment processing, 'core banking' or the kind of stuff that spans the entire organisation.

It sounds like Haskell has found a niche at Standard Chartered doing perhaps just that. What are those two banks you mentioned doing with their Haskell code?

I think you can upload the ppt and tell them which slides you want them to re-do. But I hear you. You probably want all slides to fit together and have a common theme or something. Maybe they should have a separate price for changing the overall theme of the ppt?
It delights me to see how much polish Stripe put on everything they do. This is a basic feature, sure, but it seems as though it's been implemented extremely well. Even their blog announcement is extremely well-designed.

Stripe's attention to detail seems to permeate everything they do - from their homepage graphics to clear documentation. It's difficult not to compare this to PayPal, whose recent, much-trumpeted "redesign" only amounted to updating the front-facing portions of the site. It remains to be seen whether Stripe can keep this up as they scale, but it seems as though they've developed a great internal company culture that should give them a good shot at it.
If I spend twice as much at McDonalds, I'm spending less money somewhere else.

But if that doubling in money spent is solely due to wage increases on the service side, then those people are going to spend it somewhere else, probably somewhere locally.

even if the minimum wage increase "works", it's a transfer from someone else. A tax, as it were, but an opaque one.

Minimum wage is not a tax, it is a regulated minimum on cost of labour, primarily to protect against people being taken advantage of when they are desperate.

If you really believe that the minimum wage has almost no negative effects, why not raise it to $100.

There's fairly obvious reasons for not trying to raise the minimum wage above the average wage. Claiming there should be a minimum is not the same as saying that it can be set to ridiculous values with no negative effects, as you very well know.

Either you believe your theory or you don't.

Personally I doubt that you really believe the tripe you are coming out with.
What else would I use? I've been writing tons of go code for nearly three years now. I get fast, concurrent, parallel code in very little time.

I was pretty much production-ready with seriesly in two weeks by myself (though I'm starting to get contributions from other users). Last night, I closed my last open issue "bulk interface" by making an optional memcached binary protocol interface with custom packets for database selection and streaming data in.

Today, I started a new project with a new guy, and got some pretty impressive internal demos working after a couple hours of work.

I get lots of things done fast and reliably. This doesn't happen as much for me in other languages. I went into more details in the follow-up post where I described how I built seriesly (and keep in mind, I wrote this after it had only been alive for two weeks): http://dustin.github.com/2012/09/13/inside-seriesly.html
What I find frightening though is that the notion of public isn't black and white. I can totally see a judge considering something posted online only to your friends to be public. How public does something have to be to be considered public? Visible to a few friends? All your friends? Friends and co-workers? I imagine that the nuance of privacy controls would be lost and anything visible by parties besides those the posting was intended for could be considered public. For example, if I post a message to my timeline for all my Facebook contacts to see, but I really only intended to be for my family, then is that to be considered public since I didn't go through the trouble of shielding that post from anyone but my family?

Many tax code simplifications amount to tax increases, and some of the best of those are hard to sell to the middle class, e.g. eliminating home mortgage deduction. And taxes on capital gains should be higher.
The pid provider is for probing calls and returns of userspace functions (the fbt provider serves a similar role for kernel functions). The closest things to this functionality would be the syscall and mach_trap providers. For the scheduling information that trace gives you, you could also use the DTrace sched provider. There are lots of events that trace captures that don't have any DTrace analogue, e.g. the CPU power state events.

DTrace is better for setting up targeted scripts that probe a relatively small number of events, especially when the precise events you want to capture depend on dynamic conditions, or for cases where you need backtraces. If you just want a firehose to analyze later, trace is better and has lower overhead. DTrace is also handy because of the builtin aggregation, which often saves you from having to write an awk or perl script to analyze trace output.

Whether a job is "slave labor" has absolutely nothing to do with what the job pays. If you are not forced to do the job, you are not a slave.
As a designer:

- Your site's design doesn't make me feel confident in wanting to work with you.

- That 'Become a Designer' form field is way too long. I'm not filling out a dating profile. You should be able to determine my ambition to work with you based on my reply alone, and you should be able to determine the quality of my work by my Dribbble and portfolios alone. All of the rest is just fluff.

- You don't mention the guaranteed rate?

- '..co-founded 99designs..' Ahh, I see. I'm done here.
I'd love to see citations on clang bugs that persist without good reason (e.g. clang's adhering more closely to a standard, or refuses to implement a rarely used gcc extension).
Perhaps you could expand on that?

If you pay for Dropbox what exactly are you paying for? Software to communicate with S3?

I'll accept that the software (python+rsync+an icon) is arguably "value added", but for the paying Dropbox user, what they are getting is still S3 storage.

Choosing the wrong copy editor will cost you credibility and customers. (There are two glaring errors in this sentence.) If it would look bad in a presentation, it looks bad for a presentation service site.
I know that they have to be apologetic like this, but the simple fact is that GitHub's uptime is fantastic.

I run http://CircleCi.com, and so we have upwards of 10,000 interactions with GitHub per day, whether API calls, clones, pulls, webhooks, etc. A seriously seriously small number of them fail. They know what they're doing, and they do a great job.
Almost every item in the FAQ has grammatical errors in it. With no portfolio, fixing these would go a long ways to establishing more credibility -- especially when the product you are selling is polish.

Y Combinator and similar accelerators for causing excessive valuations in the companies they mentor

Its the investors that "cause the valuation", though. While this may seem pedantic, its not. The Author of the quote, is an investor. And this is a deflection. At worst, he's saying Y combinator is now a brand, like Gucci or Apple. And that this is causing handbag or laptop prices to rise because of the brand is attached.

It dismisses, prematurely, the possibility that the brand has or adds value.

Ironically, most of the value in brands is search/selection efficiency. It seems a bunch of them are paying a premium to not do legwork, discovery, and etc. Odd, then that the critique is directed outwards.
Oh, OK. They should make that clear. There might be something we can do then.

I wasn't the one doing the market research, but they could have been thinking as developing countries grow economically their people are more likely to buy higher end phones. More people buying smart phones = more money in the market.

Platforms like iOS have network effects (i.e. App Store). Also people with a $500 iTunes library is less likely to buy another phone. These factors could be ways that make it harder to enter the smart phone market later on as other market players become more entrenched.

Unless you're extremely poor, spending twice as much at McDonald's won't affect you (and, consequently economy) in any way but it'll affect people working at McDonald's.

Even if the total amount of money in the economy is fixed, the distribution of that money among people matters a great deal to the health of economy which is something your simplistic argument doesn't address.

In the most extreme example if one uber-rich person has almost all of the money and the rest of the country has just enough to buy food, it doesn't matter how much money that uber-rich person has - the economy will be in the shitters because uber-rich person only needs one house, one car, can eat out only in one restaurant per night etc. but if no-one else can afford a car, the cars will not be made (it's too expensive to make just one car).

If there are millions of people that are only one millionth as wealthy as our uber-rich person but wealthy enough to afford a car, a house, a tv set etc., the economy can develop - if there's market for million cars, someone has to be employed to make those cars, tv sets, serve food to those millions of people and a virtuous cycle develops where people employed to create things and services for wealthy people become wealthy themselves.

So the question is: is raising minimum wage creates more over-all wealth (by transferring more money from rich people who have excess of it) or less over-all wealth (by making services of poor people too expensive for rich people).

I don't know what the answer is but you certainly haven't proven that 20% rise of McDonald's prices would cause McDonald's collapse because of massive "I make my own sandwich" movement. Even if that was purely a matter of price (and not, say, convenience of getting a hamburger and fries in few minutes in the middle of San Francisco), McDonald would probably beat you regardless of what minimum wage is due to massive economies of scale, not to mention that making your own sandwich is like using Linux: it's only free if your time is worth nothing.

Or they have other tools that they feel are as good or better. e.g. Instruments, clang, dtrace. Valgrind is powerful, and it would be nice if it was perfectly supported on OS X, but it's not the end-all-be-all of runtime analysis and profiling.

And have you hit any issues with gdb that can be attributed to Apple's negligence? I think Apple's investment in clang, lldb and lld demonstrate they feel it's worth investing time and resources in having outstanding low-level development tools.

This Is Already The Third Biggest Year In The History Of Venture Capital
"... The general background, necessary reading for basically all of us: ..."

I've been following the Uniloc case for more than 3 years now. [0] This case has a long history. It has it's roots in Ric Richardson being ripped off by Microsoft from '97 onwards. Ric sued Microsoft in 2003 but he'd demoed the software in question to MS in 1993. [1]

Uniloc was once a startup.

"Ric and I were at a music expo one day and we
had our own software that we had the rights to
publish in Australia and we were wondering how
to get this piece of music software into, straight
to people’s hands, because we couldn’t afford a
stand at this thing. We were a very small company
working out of Ric’s lounge room basically.
At the time, software piracy was a major problem. We
had to come up with some way to allow people to copy
software from person to person - but still end up
getting paid for it." [2]

That's how it started: An idea, little money, some hacking. While patenting software technology might not be mine or others taste, it allowed a small company in the tech-backwaters to profit & survive to build new things. That is what the tech business in the US is all
about.

These numbers don't 'jive' to me. The iPhone5 has the touch panel built into the screen yet the category for "Touchscreen/Cover Glass" is actually higher on the iPhone 5 implying the glass on the 5 is actually more expensive than both the glass and the touch panel on the 4s ($7.50 vs $6.50). Compare that to the iSuppli BOM which had the iPhone 4s touch panel alone at $14 and the glass doesn't even make it on the major cost driver list.
If Github hasn't gotten their custom HA solution right, will you?

Digging into their fix, they disabled automatic failover -- so all DB failures will now require manual intervention. While addressing this particular (erroneous) failover condition, it does raise minimum down time for true failures. Also, their mysql replicant's misconfiguration upon switching masters is also tied to their (stopgap) approach to preventing the hot failover. So, the second problem was due to a mis-use/misunderstanding of maintenance-mode.

How is it possible that the slave could be pointed at the wrong master and have nobody notice for a day? What is the checklist to confirm that failover has occurred correctly?

There is also lesson to be learned in the fact that their status page had scaling issues due to db connection limits. Static files are the most dependable!
