Just a thought. what about making the change simple...rather than thinking of alternate names, adapt what you have: 'From H'

It allows you to keep your home reference (you know what it means), removes any trade off arguments (there appears to be no other garment manufacturer with that name or anything similar), and asks your audience a question...what's the 'H' stand for?

A question you can then answer. This story's good for PR, so why not roll with it...tell the tale on your future website (sure Holden Outerwear wouldn't mind as they get free publicity/traffic); run campaigns from time to time asking people to select their favourite H & make versions of the top choices; create ranges using different H's for different seasons etc. (doesn't have to mean lots of text on the t-shirts...this could be on the labels to make them limited editions).

The 'H' becomes whatever your audience want it to be. Creating discussion about you amongst your early adopter audience who want to find out more.

As I said...just a thought. Your article was a nice read, and your story is a good one. Wish you all the best with it.

You didn't just point out what they did, you said "I don't see the harm". That is a judgement about what they did.
Yes, new (or more importantly, useful) features are one of the best ways of growth. If they are poorly designed, that's another story :)
Again you do not have the luxury of delivering the message in the moment when I am actually interested in an answer.

The Cost, in Dollars, of Raising a Child
Several banks in Korea currently provide Firefox and Chrome plugins that implement one or another legally mandated crypto algorithm. Some of them even work on Linux. Thanks to Apple and Samsung, there have been a lot of demand for mobile e-commerce apps, and once you've ported your Windows crypto software to iOS and Android, it's not too difficult to port them again to OSX and Linux. As of 2012, the cross-platform online banking situation in Korea is not as bad as the article makes you believe, provided that you do business with a sensible bank.

But the cipher is only one part of a very complicated situation. E-commerce in Korea is still very much crippled in non-Windows platforms, because:

1. In Korea, the standard way for individuals to authorize an online transaction is to sign it with an RSA key that is associated with an X.509 certificate that is issued by one of a handful of official bodies. (Korea was actually quite forward-looking when they made these rules. This was in the late 90s!) There are also detailed regulations about where in your Windows filesystem your keys can be stored. So there needs to be a graphical interface that displays all keys found in your filesystem, accepts a passphrase, produces a signed transaction in a certain format, and feeds it back to the web page you're on. That's a lot of work for a browser plugin to do, especially when you want to make it platform-independent. And we all know that the UI for client certificates is terribly broken in most browsers.

2. In addition, the client must be running a firewall software that meets certain requirements (Windows Defender doesn't qualify), as well as some sort of anti-keylogging software for the duration of the transaction processing (Big Bro looking after your own safety, how grateful). These rules were made because some lawmakers got scared by keyloggers or something. Not sure how effective they are, but most banks and online merchants supply these software as ActiveX controls. The thing is, you need administrator privileges in order to run firewalls and keyboard drivers. Even in Windows, online banking doesn't work unless you're using an admin account. I'm not sure whether this would be even possible with standard browser plugins on OSX and Linux. AFAIK, the consensus among Korean open-source developers seems to be that both requirements are completely pointless and therefore not worth trying to meet.

As a result of these and other complications, most banks restrict non-Windows, non-IE clients to relatively harmless tasks like viewing your balance. If you want to engage in risky kinds of banking, like paying bills and sending money to other people, you must augment your supposedly inferior security with additional (again, legally mandated) protections, such as a one-time password generator. I actually think that this is headed in the right direction -- OTPs offer fantastic security -- but the current state of affairs makes non-IE users continue to feel like second-class customers. Even with an OTP, some tasks are still off-limits to Linux users.
Urgh this guy oozes arrogance.

If you auto-reject CVs with an NBA, you're missing out on a great talent pool. Perhaps you should only give "black marks" to candidates who are clueless about what it takes to shoot great hoops. But don't tie that to the NBA.

It's all our own fault.

We glorify the noodle-eating couch-sleeping code-generating-machine hacker and let the corporations profit by exchanging our health and personal lives for stupid hacker-perks which costs the companies nothing.

Woohoo! come hack for us, we give you a fancy chair and large monitors to stare at and even food! what else do you want out of your life?

We need to see that we are being taken advantage of.

We have raised expectations so high, that you can't land a decent job unless you have dedicated your evenings to patching bugs in open source projects for free.

What do you think that says to an employer? Sorry to break it to you but it roughly goes like this,
"The poor bastard has no life. When he goes home, he does the same crap for fun. He'll be more than happy if I pay him 2 peanuts"

Have you asked yourself why other professionals don't have "open source" like we do?

If programmers are expected to work for fun to develop your email client, web browser, server softwares etc... it is only fair if lawyers were also expected to contribute to cases for free.

I'm too damn tired of this crap. We have put ourselves into an infinite loop of competition that only hurts ourselves and brings profit to the corporatoins. The guy next to you has to sacrifice his life because he needs to compete with you to stay relevant and you do for the same reason and so on...

We are smarter than this. We deserver better than this. We need to bring this to a stop.
That's sub-optimal compared to what google can do.

Most startups don't fail for reasons of basketball management or balling strategy.

It's also a little weird to say that we're elitists because we're not hiring the elite of the basketball world.

When people ranted against unstructured languages with goto, the languages with higher-level control structures they were touting were implemented using jumps at a lower level. I see this as the same thing.
I had the impression that GoCardless was founded by a few ex basketballers, how come when they 'become' startup founders they start attacking their own trade? Also judging the whole population of ex-NBA players by seeing a few overly-anxious ex-baller job seekers doesn't do any justice?
Most of those tips are great, but dont use autotools! The points they give for choosing autotools are exactly the same as one would have read maybe a decade ago when people said that CVS was "good enough" and that it "just works." Subversion, git and several others are much better alternatives and where developed because people weren't happy with CVS quirks and crappiness. One example is waf (http://docs.waf.googlecode.com/git/book_16/single.html), arguably just as well documented as autotools but without all the cruft and generated files madness autotools forces you to go through. CMake (http://www.cmake.org/) is another, used by KDE 4. SCons (http://www.scons.org/) another nice build tool. These also have the advantage of working much better on Windows, a platform autotools is completely alien to.

Koreans don't seem to think that way.

As a matter of fact, in Korea, every e-commerce site is required by law to use TLS. Even if you don't sell anything online, you must use TLS if you're for-profit and you have any sort of login system. It's been the law since last August. CAs have been making a lot of money lately.
I agree with that point, but I think that the people who use the latest and greatest browser tend to upgrade their computers and operating systems regularly.

The rest don't know or care.

Like everybody else here, I had no way to even begin to parse this article or determine whether it was satire or some strange inside terminology that nobody had ever heard of.

But it's none of that. It's a search and replace from this other entry on their blog:

http://mattjackrob.com/2012/11/13/why-we-dont-hire-anyone-wi...

Go read that one instead (or at least read the first paragraph to determine whether it's worth your time). It'll save your brain some unhappiness.
This used to be about MBA's and titled "Why we have never hired an MBA". In essence MBA's were coming up at Silicon Milk roundabout and saying that his startup should hire them as a project manager.
This article makes a lot more sense if you see the sister article:

http://mattjackrob.com/2012/11/13/why-we-dont-hire-anyone-wi...
You are not calling me an idiot are you?

Of course I have seen it. I also felt it. However If I took a "nap" I would probably just sleep for sixteen hours. After which I would have a hard time facing the absurdity of my situation. Also the massive flow and motivation would be completely gone. I would have probably just quit on the spot.

Also when you are this deep down the rabbit hole you are not thinking rationally and normal reasoning doesn't sound the same. The incongruity of the situation is the whole point.

After a certain level of fatigue settles in, you either quit at the right time (say before the 16 hour mark) or you keep going till the bitter end. Taking a nap would just make things worse.
The article uses "NBA" throughout as a joke. The author actually hates MBA graduates. Replace all the basketball talk with nonsense business school jargon. I think the author's point is that it's equally useless to a startup company.
No, it's not the same blog, it's a spoof of the post on http://mattjackrob.com/2012/11/13/why-we-dont-hire-anyone-wi....
TLDR;

Please do use autotools! You only need two files: configure.ac and Makefile.am, both at the top-level of your project. The autogenerated stuff can be ignored, you don't have to learn M4 to use autoconf. And (if you are a bit careful, but that's not too hard) you'll have many nice features such as out-of-source builds, proper feature checking, amazing portability, 'make distcheck', and acceptable cross-compiling (still hard to get right, but the alternatives tend to be even harder). Don't switch to another build system purely based on the idea that it's "more elegant".

Feedback bruises egos and builds businesses
In other professional fields (like with lawyers), doing work for free is called "pro bono". I would think that if you're being interviewed for lawyer position they would ask you how much pro bono work you've done.

So I disagree that doing this stuff for free is inherently bad, but I fully agree with the sentiments of the rest of your post. Particularly this: "come hack for us, we give you a fancy chair and large monitors to stare at and even food! what else do you want out of your life?"

An old manager of mine was once on the phone to a recruitment agency trying to hire some developers complaining that they hadn't made progress, at one point he screamed, "it's software development, it's not fucking rocket science!" He did that in a room full of developers.

For some reason many non-technical people get to become managers of technical people and have that kind of opinion. This then leads to the, "well if it doesn't work you can stay here all night until it does" mentality.

Hey, I just distilled 2 years worth of option experience and a decade of trading experience into a few paragraphs - give me a break :).

But yeh - that's what normal people should do.
It depends on whether or not a fix is perceived to be further away than what you can accomplish in that one night.

Being down for yet another business day when you don't have to be ('house on fire') is usually not an option.

There is also a class of problems (chasing subtle bugs) that you're much better equipped to tackle when you come in fresh in the morning or when you're actually not looking directly for them, the flip side is there are those that it takes forever to get the mental model set up that maps the circumstances of the bug with enough resolution that you have a chance of cracking them that it pays off to just sit there until it's done, even if that means staying up well past your bed time.

The rule seems to be 'go home if you can no longer positively contribute towards solving the problem', not just 'go home'.

You're absolutely right, but it's the current nature of sharing code on the Internet. I've had enough of my code slated to know, and at times it has stopped me posting what could be valuable code for others.

It also depends on where you're sharing your code, and what kind of communities will pick it up. In my experience, the Python and .NET communities have been great when dealing with both damning and constructive criticism of any problems of mine.

If Windows 8 is a flop, Microsoft may restore the Start Menu, and that way may come closer in the UI experience to Win7. This will be Windows 9. Since corporate upgrades will skip Win 8, then Windows 9 becomes a success (See Me=>XP, Vista=>7)

Wait a second.

If you use pickle to serialize your cookies, and if your secret key is freely available on the interwebz, yes, you've got a problem.

If you use json, you've still got a problem, namely, that your secret key is still freely available on the interwebz. People might not be able to execute arbitrary code on your server, but they can still easily modify their cookies to log in as a different user, steal their personal info, etc. etc.

If we're going to talk about securing our defaults, I think it's very important that we make the defaults actually secure all the way, rather than just making them slightly less insecure than they currently are.

Keep all session data on the server side. Now you've got secure defaults.

Or make sure that your secret key is actually, you know, secret.
And then one of the accounts' password is stored in plaintext and the database is leaked with the mail addresses and everyone can easily log in as you at 100 services.

I don't get why you claim the pricing is opaque. If anything, it is completely transparent because we do not add any markup whatsoever to the AWS charges, so in most cases it will result in a much lower monthly bill. Regarding it being AWS-specific, Bitnami Cloud Hosting is, but the rest of the BitNami offering and images is available for other clouds such as Azure and HP. We also integrate well with the rest of the AWS infrastructure: CloudWatch, CloudFormation, Beanstalk, etc.
> Secret from whom?

Secret from everyone else except the voter. There should be no way that I can prove to anyone how I voted.

The purpose of this is to make it impossible fro anyone to bribe or blackmail a voter into voting a particular way.

This would probably be illegal in the UK.

> by voting by mail

That's true. Postal voting does prevent voting being secret.

And they said I'm crazy to create an extra email address just for Skype back then..
Wouldn't it be smarter, in that case, match something like [\x20-\x7F] (unsure if that's valid regex, but you get the point), it's more explicit that way, being very obvious about what characters are included, as well as immediately being clear (to me) about the intention of the character class. "0x20 to 0x7F" triggers the idea of "Printable ASCII" a lot sooner than <space> to <tilde>.

Well automated intensive agriculture can feed a country by using 1-2% of the workforce.

If we can get well-automated intensive consumer goods industry to provide basic necessities by using 3-4% of the workforce, and can finally make some progress in automating construction and other infrastructure, then I see no reason why all the "standard needs" can't be provided by ~10% of people, leaving the other 90% for these 'luxury' occupations. This can (and most likely will) happen after a few decades, still during my lifetime.
