As a Quora user this seems to be a big setback for the company. Charlie has always been more engaged in actually using the product and interfacing with the community. Adam has picked it up a bit lately, but their stats below show who was more engaged with the product.

Charlie: Users They Follow - 3474, Topics - 578, Questions - 1240, Answers - 1524, Edits - 36951

Adam: Users They Follow - 587, Topics - 338, Questions - 890, Answers - 848, Edits - 24374

This could certainly just be a result of their focus at the company, but it is interesting.
I didn't make it to the conference but I've met the organizers. They also run the climatecolab: http://www.climatecolab.org

For the coming year they're going to host winning presentations at MIT and bring in investors.

As someone who is currently forced to use Moodle to build courses, I honestly say I'd rather just build the thing with HTML and Javascript rather than a web-based interface.

Speaking of which, what tool would you suggest instead of Moodle?
I'm not looking at this very deeply (on phone), but I think this does not make a good landing page. My impression of the copy is "sync what queues?" I have a Netflix queue; I don't want to have another one that needs to be synced with it. It sounds like it's creating a problem I don't have. There's nothing that explains the benefits of GoodFilms to people who aren't already users (like the front page does). Netflix already shows me "new" and "popular" films, which is not very useful anyway.

I suggest that if a user is not logged in, show something that focuses on what makes GoodFilms useful and that you can use your NetFlix queue on it instead of having to make another one. You can just say that you can browse on-Netflix films specifically; taking up a bunch or screen real estate with what amounts to an example of that does not explain it any better.
Ask HN: Who's hiring?
Full disclosure: I've just exited from an 8yr partnership in another business. We ended up having differing visions and values, and it was decided it was best for us to separate.

As a result i've lost my income stream and need to find some freelance work very quick.

I would say I work best in Digital Marketing; i use that as an umbrella term for things like Web Analytics, Social Media, Conversion Optimisation.

Also, although i've only done this in short bursts so far, i'd be interested in working in Project Management capacity to get development work completed. I'm not a developer myself, but have a working knowledge of programming.
> Does it really work?

Yes, CBT does really work. There is plenty of very good evidence to show the effectiveness of CBT.

You've taken a very brief example sentence, demolished it, and used that to dismiss an effective therapy.

The fact that you don't appear to understand CBT, nor know much about it, hasn't stopped you dismissing out of hand as bad advice.

I think it was mostly the design of FB's mobile web app that was bad, not that it was made in HTML5. It was too heavy and didn't optimize well to the iPhone screen size.
One thing to consider is that most code that gets written is not built to be highly testable. This makes testing harder to the point that "it's not worth it". If you optimize your coding style for testability, writing tests is faster and easier.

The problem is, writing testable code requires more thought up front not just about individual objects and methods, but also the overall architecture of your project. If your code is highly tied to an ORM or framework, then it's going to suck to test.

Also, not every language is equally easy to test. For example, Ruby has an obsessive culture around testing, so they have a lot of fantastic testing tools and the language itself makes things like mocking pretty easy. PHP by comparison doesn't value testing as much as Ruby does. The testing tools are worse and there are fewer of them. Also, due to the lack of monkey patching, you have to write your PHP code with dependency injection and testability in mind from day one for it to be highly testable.

In short, testing is a useful thing, but most code isn't written to support it and many languages and frameworks and patterns encourage you to write unpleasant to test code. If code is hard to test, programmers won't write tests unless their job requires it.
One thing I would love to have is the ability to "hide" movies.

Often when I'm looking for movies to watch, I'll go through the process of looking it up on RT, if what I see there makes the decision that it's some direct to DVD crap, then I want to hide it forever.

In Netflix I've had to resort to giving movies 1 star ratings, but I'd love it if a site would just allow me to HIDE things, because sometimes I also just want to hide a good movie that I don't want to rewatch.

>"I really think it's hard to believe journalists these days, especially if the stories are unheard of and outrageous."

You really think piss-poor working conditions in Second-World factories are "unheard of and outrageous"? It's been going on for centuries. Sure, this story was impeccably timed, and I'm sure there are liberties taken here and there, but that's because running a magazine/newspaper is a business. That doesn't provide carte blanche to deny that there is truth behind the writing. I think it's a dangerous precedent when the populace begins to say, "you can't believe the media". In fact, I'm sure that there are terrible governments around the world that would love the population to think that way.

I'm a big believer in capitalism and globalization, so I think that, net, having these factories in China is beneficial. But I also don't disclaim that they are probably horrible, unhealthy places to work. How much responsibility is Apple's, and how much is China's is the important question.

>If you're going to trash my /tmp with gigantic files please don't. Really

I write statistical programs that often generate temporary intermediate files of multiple GB size, which need to persist at the end of runs for trouble-shooting, partial re-runs etc. i.e. the software shouldn't delete them when it's finished, but they don't need to be kept long term. I kept forgetting to delete them when I finished a session and my disks kept filling up, so I decided to use /tmp and let the OS manage the space.
Is there a better way to manage large tmp files than this that I'm missing?
You know, actual luminaries in our field are also against them. I've seen UNIX programming gods among men dismiss them. It's not like it's a clear cut issue.

For some things like libraries and such, there are absolutely needed, but unit testing everything and especially TDD are stupid.

To be frank, they mostly sound like some Java EE-like monstrosity that for some bizarro reason caught on with the hip crowd too. I'd put them out there with FactoryOfFactory and XML documentation...
Oh, i hope they revert this change!

The big trouble for me would be "Everyone must now be careful never to store a file in /tmp that might grow large".
I often use /tmp for all kinds of temporary storage. Be it a small text file or a GB big tar file.
To me, this is natural and positive.

Why is that? I find a lot of anti-immigration feelings stem from the incorrect belief that jobs are like a natural resource that can run out. I say, as long as someone's not a criminal or has some unfortunate lethal transmittable disease let everyone that wants to immigrate do so.

Moving across the world to a different country, leaving everyone and everything you know to start in a foreign culture and language is a pain in the butt. The people who are so driven and motivated they're willing to endure that in order to find work are the kind of people you'd want in your country.

Apple may be Foxconn's biggest customer but this isn't just Foxconn and it isn't just China.

Put this in the perspective it really needs - what percentage of Asia's comparable manufacturing output do you think Apple accounts for?

And now consider that it's not just Asia, it's countries all over South and Central America and Eastern Europe.

A friend of mine used to be a town planner and part of his job was getting planning permission for new McDonald's sites. When you're pitching to the relevant authorities in the UK, you're under no obligation to reveal who your customer is, just the basic nature of the business (in this case fast food restaurant). But, he said, they would often hint (in a deniable manner obviously) that they were representing Burger King because McDonald's had such a bad reputation.

That reputation while largely deserved, distinguished them only from what we'd want them to be like, not from their competitors. Any fast food chain on that scale at a corporate level is largely indistinguishable from McDonald's - it's how they remain competitive.

But McDonalds' rep meant that they got the kicking so people would rather have a (morally identical) Burger King in their town. Cosmetically a win perhaps, in reality nothing got any better anywhere.

What I'm saying in a very roundabout way, if you boycott Apple, if all you do is move your custom to another organisation who are no better, you've made close to no difference at all. If this really bothers you, then you probably need to look further afield for your next smartphone or PC or tablet than the next big player.
There's an alternative interpretation here: that the heights of human achievement are not available "cleanly."

Truth be told, there's a lot of doping in other fields. I've hung around startuppers, scientists, and med students who heavily use racetams, modafinil, amphetamine, B12 megadosing, "stack" diets, and massive amounts of caffeine. Musicians and artists use psychedelic drugs to artificially enter hyper-creative states. Isn't that a form of doping? Would we have most of the music we have if there were no THC, psilocybin, or LSD?

And doping is just augmentation. A bicycle itself is an augmentation. Shoes and special clothing are augmentations. The list goes on.

A race where runners run almost naked and are strictly limited to a straight diet would be interesting in itself, but it would not achieve anywhere near Olympic performance numbers.

I'm not necessarily saying that doping in sports is good, per se. If the rules don't allow it in your event, you are cheating in your particular sport. (There are no such rules for startups, science, or music.) What I'm really getting at here is that there is another issue, and that the overall issue is more morally complex than "honest and clean" vs "doped."

I also know that doping can destroy your health. Those modafinil/amphetamine stackers in the startup world might be shortening their life spans. LSD and psilocybin can make you go nuts. Steroids can cause cancer, heart disease, and mood disorders. But what if that's the price for exceeding the records?

For me:

If I haven't seen a film, telling me how many times I'll want to watch it isn't particularly useful (instead of just a normal rating).

If I have seen a film, I'll have my own personal opinion on how much I want to see it again.
For high school, maybe, but even the simple charts and graphs in Excel are visually pleasing. In openoffice, or even google docs, they're hideous and usually unworkable.
pg doesn't sleep; he waits.
This is the approach that I take with my personal projects; I firmly believe quickcheck style testing is a huge improvement over manually writing out individual test cases. Do you tend to find, as I do, that when you write you code to be testable using randomized testing that it tends to look more functional? (I'm referring to the paradigm rather than the opposite of dysfunctional)
Why does this post have so many points?
There's no debate about testing stateless functions. I think the debate is in whether the ledger reflects a cost benefit of spending all the time mocking up different functionalities in order to test stateful components or components with external dependencies. Since these are hard to calculate ahead of time, it really does become a question of engineering culture and time to market.
>This is exactly google's strategy with android, except that it doesn't involve users buying content. Google makes money when you use the internet. They win whether you use an iPad or a Nexus or a Kindle, Apple only wins if you buy an iPad.

Well, it's not the same at all.

For one, Google wins a minuscule amount of money if you use the internet. Amazon probably makes more off selling 1 (ONE) Kindle book than Google makes from you using their search engine all year around on their tablet.

Second, noone buys those other tablets (apart from iPad/Kindle). The numbers are 1/10 the iPad numbers and less.

Third, Google doesn't even win when people use Kindle Fire, despite it being Android. IIRC, Amazon switched the search engine to Bing.

>Google makes money when you use the internet. They win whether you use an iPad or a Nexus or a Kindle, Apple only wins if you buy an iPad.

And how does that work for Google vs Apple revenue/profits so far?

How to Keep Your Anchor Text Linking Natural
Assuming you're current on OS updates, swipe down from above the top of the screen to view the Notification Center. You can configure what shows up there via Settings:Notifications. Apple's original UI for presenting notifications was kind of terrible, the new way is better, and the new way was probably inspired by the android way to do it.

Interactive Lockscreen: seems like a miss. People with jailbroken iPhones or who have installed certain hacky third-party apps (eg, an app called "Lock Screen Weather") get an interactive lockscreen - otherwise the only thing from Apple that seems vaguely related is the "swipe up for photos" shortcut.

Social Network: Apple added "twitter integration" with iOS5, but you wouldn't notice that unless you use twitter. If you do, the main thing that changed was that you no longer have to log into twitter explicitly all the time, and there is a "tweet" option added to various app panels. It's not a particularly significant feature and it's questionable whether "copied from Android" is a fair characterization.

If he's been pitched on anything more frightening than that, I'd really like to know what.
Depends on your use case and how much of that complexity you wish to manage

In your case, what could work is having the new run use the same file names as the old run, or coming up with a rotation schedule (so you would keep the latest N runs)

But if having them on /tmp as it is working for you, great, no need to complicate things.

There are also speed considerations, if you're using these files as actual intermediate storage (as opposed to a log/debug dump) it may be interesting to have them written to a different disk (like an SSD)
>For me TDD is doing the exact opposite. It bores me to tears, which really brings down my edge.

That.

It takes all the fun out of using a dynamic language. You might as well go back to a static typing and write LESS tests for obvious things...
Frank Comments From Zuckerberg
> but the problem is you have to believe what you keep telling yourself and that's hard.

Well, no. You just have to start by believing less strongly your original negative thought.

Situation: "I failed this test".

Hot thought: "I'm stupid".

Belief in hot thought: 80%

Emotion: Shame

Evidence to challenge hot thought: "I passed the test last month with an 'A'"; "I do better than many of my peers at testing"

Alternative theories: "I didn't work hard enough. And I spent a lot of time with the wrong section of the book." "The teacher is new and inexperienced. I have as much evidence that they made a mistake as I have for me being stupid, so maybe they did make mistakes in grading."

New belief in hot thought: 50%

So, you're not trying to convince yourself that these other theories are correct. You're just trying to make the negative thoughts you have less strong, less over-bearing, less destructive.

It's an iterative process too - the first times you interrupt your thoughts you lessen the severity of the negative thinking, and then you begin to strengthen the possibility of the alternatives, and then it starts happening automatically.

It's fine to have some negative thinking. But that negative thinking should be based on reality, and should not interfere with your ability to live a day to day life. People with depression are not thinking negative thoughts like "I'm a bit thick, I should learn more about $SOMETHING". They're thinking "I am hopeless. I am worthless. I can't learn more about $SOMETHING because I'm stupid and there's no point in even trying."

Once negative thinking gets to the point where you cannot sleep; you do not apply to jobs because you "know" that you won't get them; you socially isolate yourself; well, obviously it's no longer serving a useful purpose.
