SEEKING WORK - Iasi, Romania - Remote OK

Hi there! We're a small team of 8 developers, doing both web and mobile development. You can view our portfolio on www.vuzum.com.

We worked for big brands such as H&M, Oriflame, Bosch. We're currently looking for challenging projects to be part of, especially startups but not only!

Thanks,
Andre
Not that I know of. Might be a good blog post for the future, though. For now you could have a look at the theme at GitHub, if you'd like.
Google+ Rolls Out New Features To Keep Its Community Safe
It works great! Very helpful for people who work on real time data on day-to-day basis.
Very cool article. Gave a detail explanation of the ENTIRE process. Thanks!
Trade secrets can't be transacted in and NDA's don't protect against third parties. When you have hundreds of licensees, you can't bet the farm on all of them never accidentally or intentionally disclosing. Nobody would ever buy such a fragile property right.

The "monopoly" aspect isn't really relevant here. It's not like you accidentally stumble onto a MIPS patent. If you're infringing it's because you're copying the design.
"So, perhaps better advice is to be aware that some day you will want to graduate to definite goals."

Or perhaps it would better be worded as: be aware that some day you MAY want to graduate to definite goals.

But even that sounds pretty condescending and limiting. Why should I have a goal in mind when I create? Why should I have deadlines? Why should I sprint? What's the hurry, anyway?

When I started writing a 68000 emulator, I did so because it posed an interesting challenge. When I finally got it to the point where I could plug it into MAME and play Rastan Saga on it, I was thrilled. When I got its speed to the point where it rivaled the existing assembler core, I was stoked. And then eventually it reached a point of accuracy and performance that it supplanted the old core and became the standard 68k core in most emulators in use today. Did I have a plan? Not really, other than to try my hand at emulation. Did I have deadlines? Hell no. Did I have metrics? Well, if accuracy and speed counts, then sure. Did I make any money off it? Nope. And you know what? I don't care. I created something of beauty using the skills available to me at the time.

That was over 10 years ago. Now I create different things and post them to github, but my motivation remains the same.
Thanks.

I've mentioned this in the code: https://github.com/littke/inspiritas-bootstrap/blob/master/j...

I'll clarify it in the blog post.

How to Share work logs with clients
Hmm. My impression has always been that industrial policy did a whole lot to set the stage for the East Asian Tigers to come up like they did. The government and companies involved certainly think so. (Then again, they would, wouldn't they?)

At the very least, it seems that governments proactively favoring companies whose profitability lies in investing for high productivity work instead of labor intensity or natural resources tends to pretty compatible with decent outcomes.

Google is an excellent search engine. If you have privacy concerns, don't store your personal information with Google. It's really that simple. Switching to other search engines because of privacy concerns is just silly in my opinion. I have those concerns as well, but instead of missing out on Google search I choose to not use any of Google's other services (e.g. Gmail, G+, etc.) that would store my personal information (and possibly tie it to my searches). If you want to take advantage of webmaster tools, analystics, etc. just create an account just for that, and don't use it for actual communication.

How do I open files in a project after connecting to it?

Nothing seems to happen after I get the pop-up that the connection succeeded, and if I open the files manually I still get an error when I try to evaluate them (missing connection).

This is on Windows 8, I'll try from a mac later.

Btw, drag-and-dropping a file into the window breaks the program.

That's the entire f-ing point of patents. It's so they AREN'T kept as trade secrets. They are granted a monopoly in exchange for publication of it. It's the same reason the only prior art is something published, not a trade secret no one outside the company could have known about.

It really depends on the type of contract. (I also did defense contracting, both bootstrapping my own and working for a larger (25-50 person) company)

I'd say overall it is beyond what an early stage startup can do (non-dod-focused), without a great partner. Selling products is a lot easier than selling ongoing services, but the profit is all in services. A lot of the difficulty was due to it being a classified contract (the work itself wasn't, but the work locations and interoperability were). It's probably feasible for a successful small business with a full time person, particularly if the business is set up to go after government from the beginning.

Big companies aren't cost-free as clients, but there's less "if you do X wrong, you could go to jail" (which essentially never happens absent willful fraud, but still). The citizenship requirements also make it really hard for tech companies.

I'm probably showing my ignorance here but what do you mean by alpha? And how is it quantified?
Google, of course, is a huge innovator, but they do tend to be more like Apple in terms of their focus (i.e. More short term than MS).

What about things like self-driving cars and Google Glass? Also I hardly ever notice the fruits of Microsoft's research. So I'm not sure if they're lying in wait or just terrible at executing.

It sounds like cloudflare simply got there first. Unless cloudflare is outright lying (highly unlikely) they saw a problem they could fix, and fixed it. What's the false advertising there?
One thing I learned after meeting with a bunch of top firms in the Silicon Valley (Fenwick&West, Orrick, Cooley, Silicon Legal Strategy) is that "innovative" and "creative" legal strategies can be much more expensive and can even hurt you in the critical initial growth period. If your goal is to raise money from investors, your best (and cheapest) bet is to follow established conventions and standard terms. When you get to be much bigger (e.g. Facebook, Dropbox), that's when more creative strategies may be needed (e.g. Facebook's strategy to prevent employees from selling stock prior to IPO).

In regards to IP, it's always a cost vs benefit tradeoff. It was quite refreshing to hear pretty much every partner we spoke to say "just focus on building something awesome and focus on the hard legal stuff later," instead of pushing us down the (more beneficial to them in the short term) path of securing patents, etc.
It is unfortunate but change is difficult too. Countries , like companies , have to be crafted thoughtfully and carefully (Google <--> US) otherwise they end up being mess like ( India <--> Yahoo ). I feel same for both Yahoo and India. They both were amazing but now in a state of mess.
On the benefits of work queues... (why did it take 2 hours to vote today)
I agree that a society that knows more is better than a society that knows less. Knowledge is good in its own right. But knowledge doesn't change human nature. The rising tide of knowledge will lift all moral boats. Smarter good people, smarter bad people.
This looks really interesting to me. One thing that I'm not quite clear on is whether or not backups made using Arq to Glacier can be restored using other software.

I'm mildly concerned about what could happen if I need to restore software in three years on a new version of OS X (or a different OS entirely), possibly after sreitshamer has been hit by a bus and not updated things.
It's definitely not money (but that would be nice :D)

Definitely not "fame", I don't like a lot of attention.

I guess, some kind of mix of boredom and an urge to learn something new.
I agree with you - it should be a priority of Microsoft to make it easy for legacy developers to migrate to Metro. But at the same time, they can't hamstring their products for the sake of complete backwards compatibility.

I believe that WinRT is actually a relatively easy migration path from .Net. The biggest change is needing to use asynchrony in certain cases. You can even still link to your old C++ dlls! You do need to strip out disallowed API calls (Winsock, for example), but you are allowed to link against offending dlls during development. They only need to be removed for certification.
Surely some form of copyright protection would apply to the actual design of the chip to prevent people from ripping it off wholesale.

Would someone clean-room reimplementing a MIPS compatible chip be a bad thing, though? This isn't possible with patents.

It works more or less the same as Glacier, only with a lot of cushion around it.

Encouraging people to vote is mathematically equivalent to watering down my own vote with the inclusion of a vote of someone who demonstratably does not care. I do care, and I want my vote to count. I do not want my vote mixed in with people who are guilted into it, haven't actually researched the politicians, or don't care about government. I don't get why people think encouraging everybody to vote helps our situation.
Conventional labels needs the revenue of record sales. So if the artist gives away the music for free they might ruin sales. The label would still pay for promotion etc so it would probably be a loss. Touring money is usually more going into the artists' pockets, so that would not do the label much good.

Edification.
1.)Getting a server close to the exchange

2.)Finding a good predictor. Predicting up or down is easy on paper. Finding a predictor that a.)beats the spread, b.)factors in lag time to execution, and c.)factors in commission, is hard.

3.)Market regime changes. What works a few months ago isn't guaranteed to work now.

Working on a side project definitely is more for an investment in myself, in that if I'm using my time to learn something that I find interesting and accomplish something that I find equally interesting, then it can only be beneficial for myself. Recently I've taken to using side projects to explore new (to me) stacks, with the latest being Flask.py with a Mongo DB in the back. In fact, the only downside is that sometimes I might forego my actual work (I'm looking at you, PSETs!) or sleep because I'm so into a project that I want to get it done.

Just as an example, a really tight "intellectual property" regime would have to have...

This is a logical fallacy: for an act to be illegal, it does not follow that the state is empowered to preempt it from ever occurring at all, especially at the expense of basic civil rights. Conspiracy to commit murder is illegal; yet most police forces don't read every piece of communication to make sure it isn't a murder plan. Domestic violence is a crime; yet there are not spouse-monitoring CCTV cameras in every household.
Look, the "very ownership of ideas" rhetoric has a certain romantic appeal, but we allow people to own lots of things they didn't even create. The land under your house was there before you existed and will be there after you're dead, yet you're allowed to "own" it. We create property rights in various things because they are a useful way to structure social interaction. That's the only criteria for evaluation: usefulness. Romantic ideals have no place.

As for your hypothetical example, who says the strongest possible intellectual property regime is the best one, and how does that imply that no intellectual property regime is the right answer? We certainly don't aggressively enforce other kinds of property rights. You can't sue someone if their dogs crap runs onto your yard when it rains, even though in theory you could define that as an infringement of your property right. We try to balance things. Enforce rights enough to give structure to human interaction without enforcing too much and stifling that interaction.
Actually, even in your use case, the cost of glacier (or some other service like http://bit-chest.com/ ) is justified. However, you have to see it as a kind of "fire insurance" for your files. Even if the total monetary cost, computing time and materials that you use to store the files yourself is probably a lot smaller than putting your files in Glacier, what you get from Glacier is that the files there are SAFE. Eleven nines safe. No worries about burning houses, earthquakes, storms, flooded data centres, just safe. Getting that degree of safety would be hard to do on your own, and probably push your costs into similar regions as the ones that Amazon offers.
Arrays are useful when order matters. Traditionally, in SQL, you would have to have an `order` field, which takes a bit of overhead to keep correctly ordered. For example, if you wanted to swap two items, you'd need a transaction around it to prevent race conditions. Likewise, deleting an item requires updating the `order` field of each item after the deleted one. With an array, the order is inherent in the structure.

Rights are a human concept. Not, incidentally, one I have any belief in. However this is not the place for a rights vs responsibility debate.

How do you ascribe 'Human' rights?

Currently it is humans vs everything else. To include dolphins is to rewrite it as "Anything which meets these intelligence or sentience criteria". Which is fine, until you deal with the human beings which do not meet either criteria. To treat them differently is to ignore the whole argument that we are not special. So rewrite the concept as "Anything where a single member meets the criteria" - and that is where you end up.

Personally I agree that we are not special, but that is where I diverge with the author.

Well, they make a valid point in that a word carries with it implicit attributes that should also be taken into account.

A few of the above and something else:

Side projects help me stay sane. When I'm working for others and building things that are mind numbingly simple or tedious I escape to my side projects to prevent burnout. They keep me sharp, help me learn, and I love the rush of putting a new project online no matter how half baked or simple it is or even if it is something like yet another todo list app (of which I've made one so far).
The high point of my trading was October 2009 when I made almost 100k. After this I continued to spend the next four months trying to improve my program despite decreased profit each month. Unfortunately by this point I guess I’d implemented all my best ideas because nothing I tried seemed to help much.

It is of course possible that once you made "real" money with your algorithm it was spotted by the other algorithms which then started working against it. (Aka exploiting it) Having talked with people in that space (hft) I was left with the impression that an insane amount of analysis was done on those trades.

Really you should never have a toss up between a many-to-many join and an array in your schema. The right place to use an array would be a case where you were dealing with a one-to-many join with a trivial entity that probably shouldn't be an entity.

That said, arrays are also terribly useful in computation. There are lots of vector operations that really don't make sense on a result set, but that PostgreSQL can compute very efficiently if presented with an array.
I wonder if the performance would seem better if Microsoft employed a similar trick that iOS uses, that being putting up a screen shot of the app while it loads. I am not sure if Apple still employs this trick but I do remember it being used and how it affected perceived performance.
Something else: The joy of flow in those times when you can't find it at work.

When there's interesting stuff going on at work, I don't have side projects. When there's nothing happening but boring stuff, I want do stuff I don't know how it works, to make something, and that's when I start writing some idea into code late in the evening at home.
