Only recently i started with AngularJS. Ik took me a few days to understand it and then a week or two to get addicted to it. At first the terminology might scare you off: directives, controllers, watches, promises, services and more. But now it really makes sense to me and i love it.

I would sell it as a framework to invent your own HTML tags, handles the communication with server and does routing, if needed. The two-way data binding is very very nice, but it feels so natural it not even is a selling point :)
The unpleasant feeling of pain is a very real phenomenon, unlike tuxness. It can't be reduced to smaller parts. All that we can do is say "When we arrange brain's atoms like this, it hurts."

We could construct robots, that react to pain exactly like humans (screaming, sweating, ...) without feeling anything. Why aren't we like that?

This scares me.

Right now I'm young, single and almost no responsibilities. I love doing what the article suggests, keep learning new stuff, etc., but I'm not too sure I can keep it up for the next X+ years.

And within that time my life could get much more complicated, not to mention the whole industry would keep on changing faster than I can manage, and add to that the unfortunate side-effects of aging.

The older I get, the harder I have to work to remain relevant.

Companies are absolutely stupid about passwords. They usually have a rule that says 3 fails equals a locked account.... so one bad apple could use any computer in the company to literally lock every single employee out without knowing anyone's password.

While I agree the article is negative in tone, I don't like this attitude 'if you don't like it shut up and leave us alone' or 'just quit whining'. If someone genuinely feels there are problems with kickstarter, why shouldn't they be allowed to talk about it?

I'm not backing you on kickstarter because you're asking me to give you money in the hope of a reward later, instead of it being either a real purchase or a real investment.
I don't think much of your comment makes sense, unless you think that it's worth the violence to end the Israeli occupation. I think it's clear that the violence is hurting that goal anyway plus killing Palestinians, so the only reasonable thing to do is to try to end the violence first, then worry about everything else. If the price is (a), well, policemen get shot everywhere. That's one (heavy) price Hamas has to pay to be a government.
I hate OAuth and all related technologies with a passion. My personal strategy is that any targeted site can be crack and my password is probably stored there in a reversible format (if not straight plain text). So I don't expect to secure any given account, only isolate it from all others. That means I use as secure a password as the site allows (some sites don't let you use symbols!) and always totally different. I use a password manager to keep track of these passwords for me so even I don't actually know what they are after I've made them.

But my whole strategy is defeated behind my back because of this idiotic OAuth/whatever technology. Now only one of my accounts needs to be hacked on a high profile site and suddenly every site that gives an OAuth option is compromised for me, even though I've never used OAuth one time.
SOAP? Jesus. I think his list is behind the curve; a modern web dev would want to learn:

- Javascript, Javascript, Javascript

- Frontend: Backbone / Angular/ whatever MV* framework takes your fancy

- Backend: restful web services, good APIs. MVCs like Rails/Django if you can't push that stuff to the client.

- CSS pre-processors (SASS, Less, etc). Using classes instead of IDs, for modular, re-usable css. OOCSS ideals and methodologies.

- Dependency management via AMD / requireJS.

- Templating (underscore, dust, hogan, etc.) be it client or
server-side.

- Page performance (PageSpeed Insights, Chrome Dev tools, etc) - to get content on the page ASAP, in seconds. On that note, to keep up with the Velocity web perf conference.

- Monitoring and Analytics - Real User Monitoring, Synthetic Benchmarks, A/B testing, Dashboards

- Fast development pipelines through something like Mimosa

That's true for neodymium, but the majority of the world's production comes from China, which can be a concern politically, and if they raise prices, economically too. (Apparently Dysprosium is also mainly mined in China.) The argument usually heard for reducing reliance on rare-earth metals is the political one.

Download mp3s from Spotifys webapp
Wow, I can download mp3s from Spotify's webapp.

Open your browsers Console, goto _Network _ and filter on _XHR_. When playing a song, the url will be exposed as _"8bfe132f45b33640f499bfd91eb5a5c7f8e35552"_ or something simular. Right-click on the url and open in new tab.
The song will start playing in that tab, just hit CTRL+S or Command+S and save it to your drive.

Wouldn't there be some significant issues with patenting a skeuomorphic design? Couldn't a physical book be used as a form of prior art? If this is not the case and anything that exists outside of the realm of computing can now be patented by being modeled digitally, wouldn't that have wide sweeping ramifications?

For example, what stops someone from taking a pharmaceutical that they do not own the patent to and getting a patent for that same drug but the patent is for a digital model of the molecular structure? Then litigate against the pharmaceutical company if the pharmaceutical company chooses to store the structure digitally.

I'm generally curious about this. If anyone can help me understand what I'm missing here, I would appreciate it.

>but I observe that Smalltalk is what he in fact created as the manifestation of his ideas

Actually no. Dan Ingalls made Smalltalk-80, which is probably the one you know. Kay never liked ST-80, but I'm not convinced Kay ever had a clear vision of what OO should be, only what it shouldn't. He knows enough to say he doesn't like anything that's available but why hasn't he just made a manifestation of his ideas? It's much easier to deal with "no, not like that, like this" then someone who just constantly says "no, that's not it either".

There were several previous versions of Smalltalk. Maybe he actually did make some of those. But they were dropped because they weren't powerful enough...
why use it instead of Grappelli? http://www.grappelliproject.com/
No, but it's complicated. You can fork the android source which is under the Apache 2 license: http://source.android.com/source/licenses.html

If you want to use the Android SDK (this includes additionally Google APIs), you have to agree to this license: http://developer.android.com/sdk/terms.html This is also needed to release your App in the Play store.

Someone has argued source.android.com should be given a different name, similar to chromium and chrome. I think that would clear things up, too.
Are you a great web developer that's looking for an exciting challenge?
Hi everyone,
I've been working a my website for over a year now (I had to pay a web agency to do it for me = bad experience) and it is close to ready for launching. What do I need?
YOU! a "class A" web developer willing to join me in my project (and others to come!).
With you, it'll be much easier to get investors on board (I already made a few contacts)and from there we build up a winning team (top class SEO person and community manager...).

About me, I'm a 29 years old french guy, I live in France but as soon as possible I'll move to the Bay area. If you're good at what you do, we'll build great things together.

"Despite that, it can still act as a generator when slowing down, as permanent-magnet motors do in electric cars."

I wonder how this works: The motor requires a control system anticipating how it moves to keep it running. But when used as a dynamo, it's the inverse, something else makes it rotate. Does the control system go to a different mode here?

Nice document. It shows well the way of thinking of our governments.

"detecting suspicious activity, identifying users,
and obtaining transaction records is
problematic for law enforcement." - That must deeply hurts FBI people :)

"Despite the virtual nature of Bitcoin, users
value the currency for many of the same
reasons people trust Federal Reserve notes:
they believe they can exchange the currency for
goods, services, or a national currency at a later
date."

People do not trust "Federal Reserve notes" (or any other official currency) - they are forced to use it, since they must pay taxes in it.

But it is good, that at least some people realize that there is no such a thing like US dollar, only those "notes" printed by Ben Bernanke and his pals.

If one day Bitcoin gets truly popular governments will be in trouble. How to tax that beast? I wonder if there is any other solution then poll tax.
GOOD - I absolutely loathe that page turning animation... Skeumorphics gone crazy.

P.S. I've seen plenty of page turning effects like there's in advertising catalogs built in Flash. But in this case, let Apple have their way.
Look at the bright side: there are a number of pretty text-scrolling effects that have been not been appreciated enough. Scrolls unwinding, tablets thrown back and forth etc.
Yeah, I never got the 'VP' title, it seems counter-intuitive.

It looks, as in the government, the VP is merely there if something happens to the President, instead of being an important position with a well defined set of tasks.

Director looks a better title
Interesting that they don't address whether there are concerns about it eroding tax revenue or if it is a threat to federal reserve notes.
Ideologically, bitcoin is a currency. But, apart from fringe speculators, ideologues & novelty seekers its gaining traction as a payment method.

That's great because a better payment methody something we really need. A payment method for a world where computers exist. Credit cards, paypal and friends are doing this job terribly, inequitably, opaquely and at a high cost.

For "card not present" transactions credit cards work like this: (1) a merchant tells CC company (through payment gateways) that a customer wants to pay them some amount (2) the credit card company says OK (or no) (3) If at any point in the next 6 months the customer demands that money back, they take it out of the merchants account. If this happens too often, they cut off the merchant's ability to accept credit cards.

Step 3 puts the entire cost of fraud on the merchant. They then find their own way of minimizing it. There's the cost of the actual payment processing (2%-4%), the cost of fraud & the cost of preventing fraud. That's around 2.5%-10% of gross. In some cases it just completely prevents entire business categories. This also amounts to a pretty steep competency requirement just to accept payments.

There are a lot of businesses and business categories that just don't exist because the basic infrastructure of the digital economy (money) is crap. We're basically using seashells.

>Since you are already using CSS selector syntax in javascript to target these elements I really don't see how having something in between that makes it any easier.

Stop fixating on javascript. Sure, javascript uses the CSS selector syntax. But other languages use other ways of addressing particular page elements, and I don't think the CSS selector syntax is a good way in general.

>Plus the same syntax can be used in any programming language that outputs HTML, just assign class names to the element as they are created.

The same syntax as CSS, which is different from that programming language's natural syntax. Outputting class names adds an extra level of indirection that's just unnecessary. Why not just add the relevant style inline?

>You say you want a single styling API, that already exists and it's named CSS.

A single API, not a single syntax. What I want is two things: 1. A natural way to build up a style declaration programatically in python or java (javascript already has this to a certain extent), not a string in CSS property syntax. 2. A natural way to apply this to some subset of the elements on my page, which I identify using whatever tools my programming language has (which in javascript might be CSS selectors, but in general won't be).

Now you're right that the second half is almost-possible. I can use my language to put class attributes on those elements I want to style, and then have a CSS file (or rather, a CSS-preprocessor file) that only ever uses these classes as selectors. As long as I keep the class names unique that works and it keeps the CSS comprehensible.

But I've still got two separate programs in different languages that don't need to be separate - my main program generates a mapping from page element to classname, and my CSS-preprocessor program generates a mapping from classname to set of properties[1]. The latter is a task that my primary programming language is perfectly adequate for (and vanilla CSS is not, because it's not powerful enough, hence the need for a preprocessor). So what I want is to have a bit of code that generates an object representing a set of properties (which would "really" be a string in CSS property syntax, sure, I don't care as long as it has a reasonable API for manipulating it in my programming language), and then rather than attaching a classname to the elements I want to style, I attach this style object, which applies it directly inline.

At that point the inline style would still be sent to the browser with CSS property syntax, but there'd be no separate CSS file and no cascading, so I think it's fair to say this would not be using CSS.

> FBI assesses with high confidence that [...] malicious actors can [...] use botnets to generate bitcoins.

As far as I understand bitcoin (which isn't too far, admittedly), the generation of bitcoins is actually encouraged, and only possible within some well-defined boundaries which basically just ensures that bitcoins are put into circulation up until it hits the fixed limit. Maybe someone could clear that up for me? In that case the "malicious actors" would actually be performing a useful service for the bitcoin ecosystem.

It needs to be more than novel, it needs to be a reasonable leap over the existing state of the art. You shouldn't grant someone a 20+ year monopoly over an idea just because they were first to encounter a particular problem and come up with an obvious solution.
I'm guessing it's because that's not something the FBI cares about. The FBI is just a police force; it ain't the Federal Reserve.

"Remember what you're working on and why."

The same goes for if YC invests in you, you are not magically not a startup. YC does not solve all of you problems, you do. If getting rejected makes you stronger, then you are on the right path and don't let anyone say you aren't. YC does have this skill for finding really strong founders, but any partner will tell you that they have missed out on plenty of great founders and companies.

If you get rejected here or anywhere else, understand that this is expected and has happened to everyone. Grit is one serious indicator of success.

The Google rankings are misleading because many managers stay on the engineering ladder. (For example, Amit Singhal, who runs all of Search, invented the Google ranking algorithm, and is an ACM Fellow, was a "Distinguished Engineer" when I joined.) Staff through Principal are really management ranks - it's very hard to get to Staff without managing people or being a tech lead on a large project. Distinguished/Fellow is weird - it's split between people who have several hundred people reporting up to them, and engineers who have nobody reporting to them but are allowed to do whatever they want.

I heard one of my PMs say that "Senior SWE" at Google is roughly equivalent to "Director" at Oracle (which also suffers from massive title inflation). He was, I think, the youngest Director at Oracle before he came to Google (he got that title when he was 27).
Frankly I don't see this as a problem with accuracy of terminology. Both trust and credibility are perfectly adequate and sufficient terms. The fact that money has any stability at all is testament to the fact that a majority of the people who use it do 'trust' the 'credibility' of the government to manage it, whether a bunch of wingnuts think they ought to, or like the terminology used to describe it, or not.

Silverlight uses PlayDRM which can exist standalone.

Samsung SmartTVs have PlayDRM. Its a microsoft thing.
"Netflix didn't use Silverlight because it had extremely good DRM, but because nobody used it nobody had taken the time to reverse engineer it so getting the raw video files out of Netflix would be harder."

Not sure where you're getting those facts from, but Netflix does use DRM extensions in Silverlight as was pushed into using Silverlight because the copyright holders demanded Netflix to do so (just as Love Film were forced to switch from Flash as well).

It would be daft for a company who's business is based on streaming content to the masses (such as Netflix's business is) to switch to a platform that fewer people use simply because fewer people use it. No sane web company would do this unless their content was threatened to be pulled by the content owners.
