I won't put credit card details into a site unless I have some trust in the system they're using. The lack of a brand isn't necessarily a good thing here.

In any case, the brand is for marketing to developers right now -- once "Persona" becomes a thing in and of itself, this will be a nonissue.

My Gmail and Gravatar are different, and it definitely didn't pull the one from Gmail. I use that image on other sites, but not on GMail.

So I think it's very likely that it's just Gravatar, and all you need is an email address to pull that.
This article assumes the reader already knows a lot about the CLI.

A much better introduction to the commandline is Neal Stephenson's "In the Beginning was the Command Line."

You are right on all points ebiester, but you missed the one compelling reason to use node anyway: the browser is well on it's way to being the dominant programming model (and for a good reason: application components and data are addressable by other applications via the DOM! this turns out to be necessary to have globe-spanning meta-programs like search, and also useful personal meta-programs like Evernote) and that model can and will extend into the server. JavaScript is a quirky language but can and will get's it's act together. "use strict" for example was a good step in the right direction.

Even more than that, I think that the entire notion of what a server is for is changing rapidly away from "server-side MVC" to a far more rational (not to mention more efficient) dual role of "initially serve a client" and then "handle messages from the client". Server-side manipulation of client state is a horrible, terrible idea in any language, and right now node is suffering from cultural/technical momentum of wanting to do things that way. Once that impulse goes away and alternatives become more popular and well-understood, I think node will get even more popular.

I could be wrong, but so far no one in the US has been charged with a crime for downloading. Fined, yes, but no criminal case.
Apparently in Japan the cell phone reception is great even on the trains. Why don't ppl download an app where it figures out your gps location, speed and based on that figures out what train you are on. Then it finds others in the area with similar info to verify your data and puts it on a map. That way you know where the train is if you have these groups of people moving very fast close to the gps location of the railway tracks.
Some people are so vile that they do not deserve a civil discussion.
The TypeScript compiler seems to be entirely written in TypeScript: http://typescript.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/... ... always a nice touch.
Some certainly are. It's important for us to have diversity in a variety of areas (and intersections of areas), not just women. That being said, this specific article is focused on a woman's experience, so it makes sense that it would focus on gender.
Are you targeting the SME market?

1. Lots of companies bring their sales staff away on motivational trips. Phone them up, get all the details (you do all the leg work for them!.. take the pain out of organising/booking something like that).

2. You're in Ireland...target the London market.
Actually, I was intentionally pointing out the absurdity of the blanket statement being made, whilst attempting to apply humour. I did consider being a nurse, when training to help with a family members illness the nurse teaching me suggested I would be good at it. I was not interested, in large part for the exact reasons I listed above.

I would also like to point out that the gender imbalance in nursing is not blamed on the nurses - you yourself describe it as a social stigma.

Fixing societal attitudes needs something rather more than an introspection on the tech industry and why we are full of terrible people. It needs parents and schools to encourage girls to study the relevant areas, it needs schools to get all of their pupils trying out basic programming in a rewarding, exciting and gender neutral environment.

I could be wrong - but to my mind this is a problem in all of STEM and fixing it needs a broad response to treat it as a single issue.

N.B. Women not going to conferences because they are home to a host of manchildren who spend half their time drunk is a separate issue and one deserving of serious attention.

EDIT: I have no idea why some of this seems to be in italics. Sorry :(
I wonder why they didn't just make a browser plug-in that simplifies using client certificates (without the expense of supporting a highly reliable 3rd-party site and extra code to make it work.

So the goal is basically: I have a computer at work, a computer at home, a computer in my pocket, and a computer I just borrowed to check something at a friend's house. I want to be able to go to the same random site on all four devices and have it recognize that I am the same person, without (1) remembering a special password for that site, or (2) trusting that site in any way.

So there are two ways to do that. One involves generating a certificate on one of my devices and somehow communicating it to the others without a central authority. The other involves a central authority that each device can communicate with.

The first way will be, let's say, extremely challenging to get working reliably across all devices and platforms in a way that average users can handle. So Mozilla went with an extremely flexible version of the second way. It goes like this: users remember a Username and URL, in the form Username@URL. They also remember a Password which is only shared with URL. When I want to identify myself to that random website on any of my four devices, Mozilla helps me get a verifiable statement from URL to send to the random website that I am Username@URL.

There are two things mixed in to make it more likely this will take off. First, users are already used to remembering Username@Url / Password credentials, so they don't have to learn anything new to identify this way. And second, because existing Username@Url identities are email addresses, Mozilla can offer an intermediate identification service based on the ability to receive email, until other identity servers come online.

TL;DR: By using an intermediate ID server and credentials that look like email addresses, Mozilla has created a path to cross-device, cross-platform user ID that solves the problems of user adoption, technical adoption, and independence -- it can be implemented in existing browsers, understood by existing users, and offers a clean transition to completely decentralized identification. Very cool.

I really don't get the "Maps are great for me" apologists either. It reads like "Typhoon in Japan? Looked outside, weather is great here."

I'm sure TomTom and Apple cleaned up the data for areas where their programmers and bosses live. Even in Seattle, I searched for "Pizza" and it didn't find the place down the street [I had to search for "Pizzareia" for it to show up].

When you see reports of major airports being missing or mislocated, you can't use the "Well my local airport shows up fine" defense. It's like an inverse Tu Quoque fallacy [you hit a problem, I didn't, therefore the problem isn't there].

How so? It looks like Google Chrome license is in fact more restrictive and yet you don't hope Google die, do you?

And I think that Google is on the liberal side when it comes to EULAs, compared to copyright monsters like Microsoft or Adobe.

And if you reason that true Open Source solutions like Firefox are the way to go, I may remind you of the IceWeasel scandal where Debian had to rebrand its build of Firefox because it could not distribute it with the required tweaks due to copyright issues on Mozilla part.

Sounds interesting, but I never heard of it. This is a common issue for big corps - they see good ideas as not being popular enough, so they don't market them. Self-fulfilling prophecy.
I wonder how feasible it would be to shim OpenID and OAuth on top of this? Many major email providers offer OpenID or OAuth to verify email ownership. If the browser fell back to using one of those, it wouldn't need to use the alternate user/pass system in Persona.
Reading about all these innovations in the payment market is great, but unfortunately for most of us in Europe, PayPal is still the only option that makes sense most of the time, unfortunately. :(
Wow. I remember Slashdot. I was very active there before they had accounts. When they first introduced community moderation, I was one of the people chosen to be moderators. Then after the volume increased it lost all possibility for extended discussion, so I burned out on it. Years later they had a password compromise. So I changed my password, lost the new one, and of course it is tied to a no longer exising email address so I can't get my account back.

If anyone is curious, I was once http://slashdot.org/~Tilly there. My last comment there was a dozen years ago. (I've commented as AC a few times since, but not much.)

TypeScript: JavaScript Development at Application Scale
I may not have made it clear enough, but I'm not saying we shouldn't encourage women or non-technical people to pursue technical experience and/or education. I personally prefer to work in a diverse workforce and enjoy sharing my workday with people of different sexes, ethnicities and cultural backgrounds. I'm not sure what stereotypes you're referring to, either, as I personally have worked across a multitude of domains and have not seen any difference in the approach of the professional development world to that of the rest of the market (my last software company was co-founded by a woman in fact).

I'm saying that simply wanting women or any other sociological division of people to be more prevalent for the sake of presence is a mistake. In your example, you say that out of 10 people that are encouraged/trained, you might get one very passionate developer. I know the math is made up, but if you look at this in the other direction, you now have 9 developers that are bad at their job, dislike/don't care about their job or possibly both. This would mean that 90% of the workforce is now comprised of people who are hindering the other 10%. That 90% of the code written is probably poorly executed.

I think that the career of being a developer is attractive enough that anyone interested in pursuing it would see it as a viable option. Segregating encouragement along the line of sex I think does more harm then good though.
They at least had a decent reason for it. That case is interesting because the ICBM force had two completely contradictory goals. First, they wanted to ensure that no ICBM could be launched without authorization, but second, they wanted to ensure that, in the event of war, all ICBMs could be quickly launched even with a massive failure in the command hierarchy. Weird stuff happens when an organization has opposing goals like that.

I don't think the same thing applies to a bank, so they have no excuse there.

FULLTIME or INTERN. Offices in San Francisco, Boston, and Menlo Park

Delphix is a data virtualization company that is doing for databases what VMware did for servers - this is a massive market, and we are on track for similar success. We're looking for software generalists to help build our full stack, from the operating system and filesystem, to the Java management stack, and the GUI.

The engineering team at Delphix is composed of the inventors and architects of the VMware platform, ZFS filesystem, DTrace, Oracle RAC, DataGuard, and Flashback.

We've built an engineering culture where anyone with a good idea can have a voice and drive unique projects. Whether it's developing new abstractions in the filesystem, designing an architecture to interoperate with a novel database, or developing a new cloud paradigm for virtualizing data, there is no lack of hard problems and opportunities at Delphix.

The Delphix platform has already established itself as the premier platform for structured data management in the enterprise world. In our first year of selling, we added 50 large corporate customers, including many from the fortune 500 (Proctor & Gamble, RBS, Fidelity, Deutsche Bank, Comcast, Staples, Qualcomm, among others). Year 2 revenue is growing at 300%.

We have offices in Menlo Park, San Francisco, and Cambridge, MA. Check out our technical blog at http://blog.delphix.com.

A strong type system gets you regularity but then you have to deal with the type system all the time (Scala). A leaner type system makes things simple, but every once in a while you have to step in and assist the type system (Go). A dynamic system can sometimes prompt you to make you own little type system. Zero sum game.

I find nothing about Go's type system quirks that would merit "warty".

The singular wart (and a tough one to remove), in my mind, is that, in general, Go's runtime makes poor use of the static aspects of the language, which is annoying given how strict the compiler appears to be at compile phase. (item: I don't mind paying the static + compile approach, but in that case, pretty please allow me to instantiate instances of types using simple string name of the type!)

I think this part of the equation needs to be tweaked, and likely will given that a combo of new library calls and a revamped runtime (you know that is the next Go story) can address this matter.
More like Dart than coffeescript, amirite?
