It's probably best not to disturb people if they are at their desk however, if someone says hello to you or introduces themselves, take the opportunity to strike up a conversation.

A simple, open ended question that can strike up some useful conversations is "So what do you do here?". Google is huge and there's no need to assume that you should already know what role each person plays in the business. If someone tells you what they do and you have no idea what it means, don't be afraid to ask them! You're an intern, the point of you being there is to learn and gain experience.
This works quite well:

So how long before electric cars make a serious dent in auto sales? Certainly not within the next four years. Possibly within ten. What percentage of sales will electric cars have to be before people can buy without worrying about resale or the like?
One chapter from “Professional Software Development” by Steve McConnell is directly related to this question.

And there is no answer, moreother, I think Software Engineering is still somewhere near the “handcrafting” (if compare with Real Engineering).

I'd imagine that you can create a script that would run always that alerts the provider that the user is blocking ads. Then to eliminate false positives you inject some code in your ad script that disables the other script from running. That's probably just one of many possible approaches.
Oh Those Lonely Assumptions – They Will So Return to Haunt Your Startup
There is nothing meaningful or worthwhile in life, just living until you aren't. A lot of comments talk about flow or busyness and there is some truth that we find some happiness in adding to ourselves. That is, in perfecting a skill so that it becomes "second nature." I'm not entirely convinced; it seems like it's just a way to distract your awareness from the reality of your existence.

There is an old Chinese proverb (the beauty of which is probably lost in the butchery of my translation):

"Life is like honey-gathering bees,
After collecting all the honey from myriad flowers,
They age and their labor leaves them with nothing."

This is a bit disappointing. If I understand correctly they only gathered some evidence that it is not due to beating (interference.) So we still don't even know whether it's prewired or learned. The fact that you can learn to like dissonance tells us little - you can also learn to like some kinds of bitter taste and dislike for bitter is prewired.

If you compare to another sever like Apache which supports dynamic modules, adding a single line in a configuration file (or at worst dropping a .so in a folder, followed by adding a line in a configuration file) is much less work than retrieving gcc and friends and rebuilding a .deb.
The Economist:  Online Ads Are Doomed
I have no empirical evidence that Apple's turnaround was based on developer advocacy, but my friends and family that can afford Macs use Macs due to my recommendations in the mid 2000s.

One thing I've noticed about fellow British developers is many of us don't actually have Macs at home because we simply can't afford them. You'll see us with work-purchased Apple laptops at events, but back home we have our trusty PCs, serving triple duty as games machines and entertainment devices. They might use Linux, Windows, or dual boot; but you won't find many of us dropping £1000+ for a personal Apple laptop.

So now those friends and family with ageing Macs are buying tablets, because they do 90% of what they need to do at less than half the price. Meanwhile, Chromebooks have a certain appeal, and I think Google should look adapting them to suit developers (outside of switching on Developer Mode and installing another Linux distribution.)

But whats the "cause" of the problem?

I posit that the very root cause, is that a group of stakeholders who don't know any better, fails to trust the person who _do_ know better.

Now, the stakeholder might have good reason to not place their trust in people actually building the system to build it properly (for instance, he/she might be a middle manager and reports to the boss/CEO, but is responsible for the failure of the project, but isn't responsible for its success). The stakeholder might attempt to place complex requirements because they think that they know it is required for the success. In other words, an attempt at somehow guarenteeing that the failure of their subordinates don't lead to their own failure. If everyone up and down the chain uses this method to conduct their business, it would lead to complex systems (and not just software systems, but also business systems - example, all these bureaucracy and paper work to get things to "sign off" and processed, and approval etc).

I propose a radical solution that might perhaps alleviate this problem (at least for software systems). The current structure of organization in companies tend to be heirachical, and this sort of structure will inevitalbly form the problem described above. So, to solve the problem, you could try a non-heirachical organization, or a very, very flat organization, where theres really only 1 level from the "worker" (someone who actually does the output) to the boss (who owns the joint). The worker's vested interest lies in the success of the project, for the payment structure has ties to the success of the project. For example, each worker is given time to "invest" in an array of projects that is needed. If the project succeeds, their contribution counts the same way equity would count for a startup.

There are no "middle managers" whose entire purpose is to summarize the progress and status for upper managers, who do more summarization and report to the boss (who may or may not understand those summaries since they are now far removed from the actual work). Instead, your project is run like a startup - you got a limited budget, you got to ship or die.

I'd like to see something run like this in the real world. Of course, i haven't fleshed out a lot of details...and there lies the devil
No, they're selling it there because that's where they're set up. Just because you have a product you don't expect to directly make money on you don't go and set up a new operation to sell it - the fact you're not making money means that you're going to use whatever you've already got in place rather than incur new costs.

But the fact that this product isn't profitable doesn't excuse it. We're always told that Android drives the Google ecosystem which drives profits.

This phone in of itself may not be profitable but it drives other Google services which are and on which tax is avoided.

Couldn't those functions just be inlined by the compiler if they're simple regex-wrappers anyway?

I do agree that it might be overkill to move regexes to their own functions just for readability's sake but I don't buy the performance argument. Furthermore, regexes are most popular in scripting languages that no sane person would use for real time performance-critical systems anyway.

So to make this a little more HN-y, there exists the possibility that two users were just using software in a counterintuitive and unplanned for fashion for whatever reason makes sense to them as users. It happens all the time.

Ask me how many shopping lists are in Bingo Card Creator ("I like it because I can write them at school and then pull them up on my iPhone!") or about Appointment Reminder users who use the appointment schedule as I-can't-believe-its-not-Google-Calendar in between their actual appointments. (Quick SQL suggests there are over sixty AR customers who have no-contact-info-included calendar entries which don't appear to represent actual people/appointments, like "class", "doctor", "soccer practice", etc.)

Or more broadly, have you ever seen:

+ TI calculator programs used as notepads?

+ Video games used as photo sharing communities? (Long story short: it is called Flickr.)

His statement was never racist, which is probably why he qualified racist with "may sound." China isn't a race.
Looks like concat is available as it's own module:

But both of them rely on or accept client-side concat, I'd rather just do it server-side only for security/control.
That's underselling it a bit, I think? They've ruled out the dominant hypothesis with their experiment (beating/roughness) and propose another - harmony of overtones. Quite clever to do the experiment with people with amusia.

> ... it is a bit chunkier in width than my previous USB flash drive. It might be a bit more to carry, and might not fit some USB ports depending on what's adjacent.

I hate these, both USB devices and wallwarts that block adjacent sockets. Frankly I think that USB forum should have specified max dimensions for USB plugs/devices and matching minimum spacing for ports.

I think Google needs to do more in the future about making Android useful or compelling for large screens, too, though.
There will be situations where you need to check specifically for 7-bit ASCII printable characters only. I've worked with APIs that require everything outside that range to be escaped/encoded into it.

Email could be an example, I guess, although I haven't worked with it enough to know whether the whole "7-bits only" thing is still an issue these days.
The more business they do wholly in the UK, the harder it becomes for them to make a case for not paying their taxes.

I spotted the atlantic in my web analytics this morning, turns out their linking to a blog post of mine inside the article.

It seems a shame that an otherwise decent article is spoilt by technical mistakes, when it's incredibly easy to contact almost anyone who they've linked to and ask "We're going to publish this, does it sound reasonably accurate to you?".

Still, at least they don't perpetuate the myth that EC2 was initially selling spare capacity from the main amazon site.
That is all solved by the fact that it's a touch based device.

I think your vision is wrong because you criticize traditional idea of hiding power features and exposition of basic, but Microsoft did opposite. They exposed power features (see Ribbon) and hid basic. Every user will learn gestures because this is the only way to call Start screen with mouse and without it there is nothing to do. Beginners will search internet with "How to shutdown Windows 8" and will find about settings charm this way. Many will hate Windows 8 but in the end everybody will learn.

I don't think he actually hates the car. Tesla claims (I believe in their lawsuit against BBC) that they found a copy of the script for that episode, and it involved driving the Tesla around off screen until the battery was quite depleted, then driving the car to an area where they knew in advance they couldn't charge it up. Totally against real world conditions, and gave a very false picture of what owning a Tesla would be like.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

-Theodore Roosevelt

Cato's Hike is a game to teach kids how to program graphically.

After a year of on-again, off-again programming I finally released my first game (Universal for iOS). I remember playing games like ChipWits and Logo as a child and they really influenced me.

The biggest issue I have is figuring out the best way of getting some of the programming concepts across. I have yet to write a manual and still need even more tutorials based on user emails but I'd love to hear any feedback or suggestions you guys have.

I hope you guys like it.

Modern video games can be 10GB each.

HD video is huge - if you just rip your blurays directly they can easily be e.g. 80gb for a 13 episode series. Even reencoded you'll want to make it probably 6gb.
