Tidal's dev team loves working from home! I agree that "work is modal" -- I even wrote a [post](http://burakkanber.com/blog/staying-productive-while-working...) at one point about it, and how important maintaining a workspace is.

We've also started using a version of the pomodoro technique. We take :55 - :05 of the hour off to do whatever (check emails, talk to each other, eat a sandwich, workout, etc), but what has increased productivity for us the most so far is scheduling out our day hour-by-hour the night before. Combining that with the rigid :55-:05 break schedule has really kept us on track (not a single dev delay since we started). I think it's the combined effect of having to plan out your tomorrow at night (forcing you to think about priorities, rather than guiding by gut), and the fact that when you're working during the day, you don't need to take any time to figure out what to do next--all you have to do is look at your calendar. We've been incredibly focused and on-target as a result, so if you're looking for another productivity hack I'd try that :)

Edit: another positive side effect of scheduling out your day is the fact that it forces you to get really, really good at setting personal expectations, and it helps you be more realistic about what you can accomplish in 50 minutes. No more are the days of mis-estimating how long a task will take
I saw it race at Atlanta recently. I was very surprised in the cars outright speed. Only a couple tenths off of the fastest P2 car!
The two things I noticed about the car was how unstable it looked at turn in. The car rotates a lot compared to other prototypes. Quite scary on the high speed stuff. Also, the tin top drivers complained about not being able to see the car in their mirrors (very small frontal area). In fact a Gt car turned into him whilst being overtaken going under the bridge and the crash was scary.

'Shadow Minister' means the official opposition's spokesperson on the topic represented by the real Minister. If Labour were to win in the next General Election the Labour Party leader would become the Prime Minister and may appoint a 'Shadow Minister' to the ministerial role they were shadowing or any other at their discretion.

A little UKism that might have been missed by some.
Apparently they also turned down selling to another bakery.

Not sure what was up with that, but there was definitely profit to be had if they didn't want to sell.

Strange that moving $2.5 Billion of product a year isn't profitable. Doesn't sound right.
That's what I was saying - if you wish to talk about integrating a scripting language with C in the 21st century, odds are it will be lua, not python.

You sound upset.

It's reasonable to decide to not use free software because you need more support than the vendor can provide.

It's unreasonable to be upset about a free software vendor not providing enough support.

This is like the whole can't-get-a-human-at-Google-when-gmail-breaks issue. If you don't like it, pay $50 a year and you can call someone. Or stop using gmail.
Only 30% of their workforce is union.

Tim went with Amazon as his publisher. As a result, Barnes and Noble and many other retailers refuse to stock his book in store.

As a self-published author who sells mainly on Amazon, this is a VERY interesting story to me.

If Ferriss hits #1 NYT OR sells a large number of books despite a dearth of physical distribution, it could signal big changes in the publishing industry.

(The NYT list is biased towards physical stores, so that may be out of reach)
Well in this case, it's more integrating Python with C i.e. writing a C callable and calling it from Python.

I'm not really a Lua fan personally (the confusing indice and ordinal notation scares me), but I can see why it makes sense for integration purposes. Clean, simple, to the point.

New RubyMotion API Reference!
If you were referring to my post. I wasn't explaining how this works (I know how it works). I was outlining how I think the current effects/benefits to the consumer can be mimicked.

The current output format, which is a stack of JPEGs with a depth map, would cover 80% of the result with 20% of the effort/technology. Capturing this stack of JPEGs (e.g. as high speed video frames) is not beyond the realm of our current camera technology.
This is how good old Law of Parkinson works. She is on top of her career. She has to be completely ignorant in order to be there.

Tony Blair has to learn this, he is too clever to be a PM. As advisor to President Nazarbayev he is positioned more properly.
I don't think anyone has suggested looking the other way. They should work with the builder and find a way to make it legal.

This isn't any more egregious than the numerous abuses of our public land system (e.g. the sale Tim DeChristopher was protesting, which was later deemed illegal).
I can't help but feel their thumbnail display predates the popularity of Pintrest. Given that the use-case most people seem to use it for is scanned images/documents, a list of thumbnails really does make sense.

I would recommend "C: A Modern Approach", 2nd ed by King (http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Modern-Approach-2nd-Editio...)

It's a hefty tome but that's not necessarily bad if you want to (re-)learn the language and the tricks in a proper way.

The author keeps referring to the incident in practice before the Petit Lemans as if it was the Porsche driver's fault for the incident. Its quite apparent that the Delta Wing's line is way off on the pass if he expects the Porsche to be able to make turn 12. When you see in the video that Porsche turns in he would barely be able to have made turn 12, the Delta Wing left him no room and it looks like the Delta Wing driver was aiming for the motorcycle course not the car course which sweeps right from under the tunnel.
you are not a dick and have nothing to be sorry for. You are not charging enough quite frankly.

Anyone who bemoans what you are doing should be embarrassed.
First or second books? Stroustrups Programming Principle and Practice is quite good as a starter book. Not quite C++11, if I remember correctly, but further along than just C with Classes.

There's also Alexandrescus "Modern C++" book, but even that is now a decade old. We'll have to see what turns up in the wake of the recent standard, so far it's mostly introductions to new features and some updated references, useful for someone getting reacquainted with modern features, but no K&R of C++11 yet.
Which is why I now buy O'Reilly books direct from them. However, while digging around in my older ebooks, I discovered the O'Reilly books I bought through Apple or B&N were also drm-free. Not sure if that's now also the case with Kindle versions... but as mentioned there are other perks of buying direct from O'Reilly.

Some of these are ingenius. Placing an input box far down a page, setting it to autofocus, and then reacting to body onscroll? I'd never have thought of that. Glad these references exist!

I have exploited the embedding of Flash to do XSS before. It's funny that while the site I was on heavily filtered any JS input in its rich text editor, you could easily upload a Flash file (served from the SAME domain!), and XSS it.

Well it's not really public land it's Crown Property. Not sure of the specifics of BC law wrt structures[1] but in most places anything you build on Crown Property becomes the property of the Crown and whatever minister is in charge of that can do whatever they want with it.

Honestly it wouldn't be hard for them to say "Yeah that's nice" and let it slide, obviously he doesn't have any rights to the structure so I could go and take it over and he couldn't really do anything about it.

More than that, Mustard Gas was fairly important in the development of chemotherapy after US Army Doctors noticed it's effect on white blood cells following an air raid in WW2 when a ship carrying Mustard Gas was bombed. From there, in part, was sparked the idea of using similar drugs to attack cancers.

Hello http://whatbox.ca! People will just move to using seedboxes or VPNs because of this.
Seems like something where you want to illustrate the concepts of integrating with a scripting language:

* Calling out from your C program to the scripting language.

* Setting variables in the scripting language from C.

* Creating functions that can be called from the scripting language.

* Making those available by creating a loadable shared lib that the scripting language can utilize.

Stuff like that is not that different across different languages and if you've figured one out, others won't be that hard.

My take: Tcl's C API is pretty cool. I wrote about it some here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/032133633X/?tag=dedasys-20
This is entirely untrue. A patent that has been granted by the USPTO is deemed valid and binding unless decided otherwise in court or by a re-evaluation by the USPTO.

By your standard, patents are never meaningful, because a higher court (or the same court) could always invalidate the patent.
"The people surrounding you may be taking better care of their machines then the average."

Selection bias works both ways, people who install such "utility" software may be taking worse care of their systems and installing more bloatware.
Corollaries:

- Knockout's organizational conventions appear inadequate to organizing larger projects, whereas Angular puts its module system right out front

- Yes, Angular definitely has the highest learning curve of any JS framework, but it more than makes up for it in the power, simplicity, composability, and expressiveness of the resulting app code; if it's too difficult for you, stick to something like Knockout or Backbone.

- Oh, and there's no extra hand-waving for data-binding, because Angular uses a much simpler (and in aggregate, more efficient) approach to computing DOM updates

I would think that the 'permanent structure' is probably the defining thing done here that makes it incontrovertibly illegal.

Generally speaking, camping on lands like this requires permits (though not always) and are generally overlooked because 1) they aren't as heavily patrolled (because there isn't the expectation of campers) and 2) the campers generally leave little trace of their comings and goings.
Sorry, didn't see your post when I posted mine: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4794444 ... darn :)Should've just upvoted.

Python usage is much more.
This doesn't seem to be an issue of regulatory paperwork though. What does double licensing accomplish and what does it actually mean? I'm all for fines if they're found using unlicensed drivers. I guess I don't know that it's necessary to double drug test the drivers though. I don't think the issue here is filling out a permit, I think it's a matter of "what does that mean". If asked, they should probably be required to show that all their drivers are properly licensed. If their drivers are all properly licensed, I don't see what requiring Uber to be licensed accomplishes.

It's not a question of "probably in compliance". If Uber is using unlicensed drivers (which I haven't heard any evidence of), they should be fined. If they are using 100% properly licensed drivers, I think this is a non-story.

Common Lisp code basically equivalent to that first "trivial" Clojure implementation (WARNING: untested, may consist entirely of bugs):

(defun factors (n)
(loop for r upfrom 1 to n when (zerop (remainder n r)) collect r))

Clojure doesn't have much advantage in conciseness over CL here. It's just a matter of what approach the contributor chose to use.
So, I studied C in college and really enjoyed it. It really fit my style of thinking at the time (having a mental model of what the machine is doing is really valuable). I wrote a game in C/OpenGL, but really didn't learn much about "modern C" or much of the ecosystem other than doxygen/make/gdb.

These days I primarily program web services and iPhone apps in Ruby, occasionally using Java for performance issues. Is there any good reason for me to further my C knowledge?
If you do the research and are not tied to "the perfect spot" that happens to be on public land, there are (not expensive) remote lots of land for sale where the only problem is access.
It's an odd situation, I can kind of understand where the Porsche driver was coming from, it's ridiculously hard to see the car in mirrors, but he came off such an asshat from the incident he caused it spoilt his point slightly.

It does look like it shouldn't corner though, yet at LeMans it seemed to power through them pretty smoothly.

Hmm, which other languages/compilers do support source maps right now? CoffeeScript, HaXe, now TypeScript, anything else?
No, they shouldn't. There is a reason lands are marked for conservation. They should remove the structure with prejudice.
Labor leaders are just as capable of being stupid as are business leaders. I'm sure there's plenty of stupid to smear on both sides of this dispute.
"Personal use of public lands of this nature can almost always be classified as 'misuse,' no matter how cool or ingenious the project."

Actually our national forests were specifically created for personal use. They are designed to meet the needs of a variety of stakeholders who have interest in using the forest, including the construction and paper industries, skiers, hunters, backpackers, fisherman, wildlife conservation groups, etc.

Clearly they should have gotten permission first, because the job of the national forest service is to mediate between the needs of the different groups who each want to use the forest in their own way, and that can't happen if people just go off and do their own thing. But this would actually potentially be a legitimate use of the national forest system had they gone about it the right way.
I'm reading C++ Primer 5/e at the moment and I'm enjoying it so far. I like how it starts using the hight level containers before introducing other more low-level structs. The second part is a nice overview of the C++ Library so you won't end reinventing the wheel when writing your first programs.

Also the Kindle edition is really well done.
The biggest flaw of this book is that's huge.

How mature is string manipulation in Lua? Personally, I use python for anything involving string manipulation, and then use C or C++ (depending on context) to do significant data processing on the (now hashed) data.
Huh, the positioning of the date picker is on the primary monitor for me even when the chrome window is on the secondary monitor.
Good spot. Freeloader?
This is an HTML5 item, so it should eventually come to all browsers.

Unfortunately, localization has not been properly addressed, in my opinion, so we're not going to be able to use it. Yes, theoretically people should choose their locale in their browser settings, but most people do it on a site-by-site basis.
> For those of you who thought that Motorola has been violating the law on its FRAND obligations this is a reality-check.

I don't see how that follows from the rest of your comment. It is quite possible for Motorola to be breaking their commitments to FRAND licensing it just isn't going to be tested in this case. [I agree with the rest of your comment.]

I'm going to read the article now but even if you are right then that is really bad news for the world as owners of standards essential patents have the power to bring whole industries to gridlock and to demand massive sums for patent licensing.

Edit: I've read it now. As i read it there is nothing that closes the question of whether Motorola is breaching it's contract with ETSI. The judge doesn't want to spend time to decide a FRAND value if that doesn't close the case (because Apple aren't committed to pay the price). I stand by my point that this does nothing to decide whether Motorola has breached their commitments. I didn't see any comment regarding anti-trust law from this judge and I don't know if that topic was ever on the table in this case.
I just want to say that I fondly remember Gramstand from around 2008-9. That was such a nice little cafe to work in.

Twitter and Facebook where 3rd party apps once. Now they have hooks to integrate into the system (for the "share" buttons). There's no reason this can't be done with maps too.
Agreed. That's the difference between lateral and vertical movement. You can go from one framework to the next your whole life, or you can learn the hard stuff.

Companies will hire a guy to do the hard stuff, then hire a couple grunts to write the apps.

Currently, I fall into the grunt category.
Facebook retargeting for the holidays and beyond
as I understand it, the point isn't that they drive cars that approximate production automobiles. But rather that the technology the teams develop to come up with competitive advantages (lightweight-yet-strong materials, power from limited displacement volume, aerodynamic improvements, etc.) will be useful to production cars. The point that others are making is that the F1 rules are now so stringent that teams are not rewarded for coming up with these types of massive improvements and are limited to tiny tweaks.
Screenwriter's app idea
I am a screenwriter with a great app idea. I just moved to Silicon Valley with my wife. I don't know anything about programing or developing an app (hence turning to a community like this). And based on my research there isn't an app like my idea... yet!

How and where do I meet people to help develop it?
I see the two fields thing a lot. It's pointless since I can copy and paste into the second field. Unless they use JavaScript to disable pasting, which is obnoxious.
One interesting factoid about the Chromebook is that it's actually FREE if you take into account the extras. Gogo inflight internet + 1tb Google Drive is $300 dollars of freebies, not bad for a $250 device.
If you change your browser settings to use a different language, the date input will be localized to that language.

I'd love to have a little more control over this. Perhaps adding:

lang="fr"

to the input element or even the <html> tag, could localize the input?
