But goods are cheaper today than they were 40 years go, thanks in large part to globalization and manufacturing innovations. So if goods are cheaper, does it really matter if real wages have declined?

And looking at the data, to me it looks like real wages are roughly at the same level they were 50 years ago (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:US_Real_Wages_1964-2004.gi...). If goods a cheaper and real wages are roughly the same, aren't we all better off?

Some folks can pull all-nighters; not only can I not stay awake for more than 24 hours (I literally keel over sideways and faceplant on the floor, snoring) but if I try working more than 10 hours, I run into stupid hour syndrome. And in my later post-programmer life as a writer, if I write past a certain point (roughly 4500 words of fiction or 6000 words of non-fiction) in a day, then for every 1000 words past that point, I end up having to bin and re-write about 1500 words the next day. Because it's unmitigated crap.

Limits, folks: we have them. Learn and respect them and don't try to be macho about it, because it doesn't help.
Gnome is meant for normal computer users. Not power users or whatever you mean by "people who tend to use linux".
This seems much the same as the music industry (Well, the RIAA crowd at least) wanting to sell a product that is, by its very nature, easy to copy and transfer.

For a relatively brief period there was an opportunity to sell prerecorded music in way that was coupled to a physical medium. When cassette tapes and home recording came along there were still enough impediments (degrades sound, time involved even if you used high-speed transfers, still needing to move around a physical item) that this particular business model was still viable.

Now, however, technology is such that offering an mp3 is much like serving a Web page. You'd like to believe the end user will use this or that rendering tool in a very constrained and predictable manner, but you really have no control over it.

Rather than accept that this business model is, by the nature of the product offered, more or less doomed, some music business people felt entitled to continue it. They turn to the legal system to try to control what users can do.

They are failing, over and over, but they can't seem to grasp that their cherish business model's time has come and gone. Their sense of entitlement is too strong.

Instead, the exhort users not treat their digital files as, well, digital files. They tell them there will be no more music if people copy and share. The tell them digital restriction management is really for their own good.

Yet some people are making money from their music. The successful ones are those who understand the technology and what people will use it for, understand how, when, and where people value music, and work with it rather than fight it.

People making money from ads on their blogs may be over-estimating the true value of their sites.

There are many people who download music they can find for free, but if they were forced to pay they would do without because it just isn't all that important to them. Likewise with Web sites. I read many sites, but there are few I would pay for. If a site owner cannot find another way to monetize a site (subscriber-only, or republishing and selling collected content as a PDF), maybe it's because there's insufficient value for the readers. No one is entitled to their cherished business models.
It varies a lot, or at least it used to. Keeping the phone line open and expecting a callback is a scam so classic it's even in the first edition of "Practical Unix (now "and Internet") Security" in the section on securing your modem pool.
"should have taken 15 minutes and has actually taken 2 hours" is a really good sign that it's time to give up and go get some sleep.

This is also a good sign that you should sign off sick if you've got a cold or flu or some other ailment, even if it's only 11am. It indicates that your productivity is about to go negative and you may actively damage your project if you keep flailing around.
> Have you ever come back to a project and been unsure of where to get started? If you had left off just one item sooner the day or week before, you'd already have a known starting point.

I can't find a cite for this right now, but I've heard this phrased as "park facing downhill." Towards the end of the day, I actively try to get myself into a position where I've put together the beginning of an idea and gotten some failing test cases written, or at least some non-compiling pseudocode into a buffer somewhere. This sets me up for success at the beginning of the next day -- I work right into a state of flow while tying together the loose ends from the day before.
Why would it be easier to remember how to hit keys on a flat 2d plane? My fingers are all different lengths.
One thing that strikes me as sad about this is that he very obviously had some level of talent, drive and ability; and if we as a society had found a way to channel that productively we would all be better off.

And before you go all "lol, cracking password resets is not technical skill"; think about this for a bit. If you were raised in a context like his (parents separated early, bad schools, no mentors etc.) would you necessarily have turned out better?

Who knows; if he'd had a better math teacher in junior high school who'd gotten him interested in programming early, he might have wound up working at a startup in Silicon Valley.
>Another example of playful design is the “Kudos” button on Svbtle, which lights up and pops out.

As the article indicates the same is not always going to be the case with google.

With my email I spent about 6-8 hours setting it up a few years ago and haven't had to touch it since. Never had issues with spam or deliverability. Any decent hosting company should be able to provide the same, might cost more than google though.
ha, thanks for the clarification
Arguing over sentences with the qualifier 'not mere' seems pointless [1]. Lets just say instead that I addressed the "hidden" implication of the statement. The quote continues: "The limits within which the preservation and self-expansion of the value of capital resting on the expropriation and pauperisation of the great mass of producers ...". Maybe this makes it more clear what he was going to say.

[1] Since 'not mere' does not exclude anything the means of production could be means for everything. But technically your point about the non-implication is correct.

> "the dangerous idea that everyone might be entitled to those last 8 months no matter what they did in their lives leading up to that point."

Are you suggesting that the amount of medical resources expended to keep an individual alive/healthy should be keenly judged on an individual basis, based on some arbitrary notion of "worthiness", by some authority?

Would this hypothetical authority be called a "death panel"? It would seem very fitting.
I have problem with this presentation - it doesn't seem to contain too many details. What mobile, what browsers, what 3g networks, etc.

Sure, there are issues - Safari (I think) used to crash when you opened inspector on a page with ws.

Some (meteor.com) just ignore all those issues by disabling native ws altogether. Performance of polling SockJS transports is enough for them now, so why bother?

If you find a real problem with SockJS in the wild - please do let us know!
With a CPM of $10 that would only be 5 million banners, so maybe 2-3 million pageviews - very doable. Even if that CPM shrinks it's doable.
> "One reporter on television called him 'creepy,' " she continues. "It's not right." Hearing this, Chaney looked up from his grilled cheese. The paparazzi just caught him on a bad day, he figures. "I hadn't shaved in a while," he tells his mom. "I kind of looked like a creep."

Is it possible that not only his mum, but he himself, doesn't realise that reading private conversations and looking at private (sometimes nude) photos belonging to others, without their permission or knowledge, is "creepy"?

Mark and his team at UW wrote pine and alpine, the mail client used by many (most?) US college students in the late 1990s.

They also wrote pico, the pine composer, predecessor of nano, and the most newbie-user-friendly text editor commonly found on Unix text console systems.
DCs have been constrained on power and cooling for the last decade or so. Existing colo sites are most likely to have 5kva (4kw) rack positions. That's only 90 watts/ru. Newer facilities will have 10kva racks. Minus a couple ru for cabling and tor and the power budget is 250 watts/ru.
Unsupervised pre-training is fundamentally different than boosting.

Boosting is a clever way of modelling a conditional distribution. The insight behind the success of pre-training is that, for many perceptual tasks, having a good model of the input (rather than the input->output mapping) is key.

I have no delusion that the algorithms that work for training deep networks are anything like what the brain actually does, but I don't care. There are many tasks where deep neural nets are state of the art.
I played around for a while with writing an RBM learner in Go (RBMs are a particular instance of deep learning which Hinton specializes in).

More an experiment than anything else, but for anyone who is interested: https://github.com/taliesinb/gorbm. I don't claim there aren't bugs, and there is no documentation.

The consensus I've picked up from AI-specializing friends is that there are a lot of subtle gotchas and tricks (which Hinton and friends know about but don't necessarily advertise) without which RBMs are a non-starter for many problems. Which I suppose is pretty much standard for esoteric machine learning.
This idea only works for all-or-nothing "big idea" start-ups who don't have a creative founder. In the practical world, having a creative founder gives you a huge advantage, particularly in UX/UI, MVD (minimal viable design), and avoiding design creep.
Also it simply makes no sense spending time setting up, configuring and maintaining email servers as a business owner when there are more important things to put your time in.
Maybe to avoid chargeback.
It would also be difficult to insure. If you're providing any Service Level Agreement, or something where you are taking money and selling based on a quality like security; you are going to fail at some point and get sued as a result; so your upfront costs and pricing structure have to reflect that.

Gmail can be free because it's a free service and you get what you pay for. To provide something of an equivalent service level for money with an additional guarantee of watchdog security services; you'd probably have to start around $10,000 USD per customer/year. And who's going to pay $10K for an email account?

IMAP is for reading mail, not sending mail.
I'm using sockjs right now with polling, so don't get me wrong, I'm with you. I'm thinking about experimenting with turning on ws so that was the source of my question. I'd appreciate it if it could be addressed. Thanks.
Feels like pouring salt on a wound.

I don't want to downplay this, but rhythmbox shutters every single day while listening to a higher quality radio stream just because you can't adjust the buffer size.

With this approach, you never have time to stop and clear your mind and look at the big picture, you are always stuck in the rut of what you were doing yesterday, which is what you were doing the day before, and on and on.

Very cool stuff here , thanks for sharing.
Java for one, as strange as it might seem.

Most of those environments have JVMs available. Although. a few of them, like i/OS, still only have Java 5 or 6 available.

Don't take me wrong I am not against C++ and do use it in some of my employer projects. Then again we need to fill our code with #ifdefs when the need to support multiple environments with different sets of compilers arises.

For example, even Boost with its exhaustible list of compilers and operating systems does not support:

- HP-UX

- i/OS

- QNX

- VxWorks

- Symbian (yes people still develop for them)

This is just one library, it gets worse if we need to take a few proprietary libraries into the equation.

Now, for doing native code programming, C++ is the best currently available language, and I wish that with C++11 and the upcoming revisions, it gets better.
That's interesting, I've had the opposite experience, so I'm guessing it's a perception issue. I'm from Buenos Aires and currently live in New York, both loud cities. I find Argentine tourists around here are especially loud. Maybe I'm tuned to pick up my own accent, or maybe tourists are louder than locals? (the excitement of the new?) Or maybe, as you point out, we just don't notice the quiet ones and assume they are locals...

Take a look at the images in this article by Ed Bott: http://www.zdnet.com/how-outraged-should-you-be-about-ads-in... (also linked from this story). You think maybe it was a mere oversight that the ads all appear where they are completely unobtrusive? Seems more likely to me that Microsoft is trying to get some ad revenue while intentionally presenting the minimum possible annoyance to users.
Yes I'm aware of that. Try running wireshark before you launch it....
If I had the luxury of coding all day, I could see this as an issue. More often than not, however, I end up with meetings and whatnot peppered here and there throughout my day, so finding time to think about the larger picture isn't hard. What is hard (for me) is to kick-start myself in the morning, and a little help from my yesterday-self goes a long way.
I started taking the class but had to take a break due to other real life occurrences.

Yeah, I remember when cable TV worked that way, too.
80% accuracy seems too inaccurate, IMO. I would actually be surprised if you can't get nearly that accurate with nothing but comparing overall colors and quantity of edges (pick an edge detection effect, count pixels affected) - 4 dimensions of data. People are pretty simple, and pretty similar, and more importantly so are artists.
There is no reason that a licensed doctor is required to do what you describe. A software programmer with a one-year billing code training can do it. Doctors are rate limited by med schools, but that only applies to patient care, not support functions like billing.
As a counterpoint, plain and boring is not inspirational. If you are working on an app, and the appearance is the bare minimum of functional, you aren't likely to get any kind of feedback inspiration from that part of your own creation.

Creation, whether design or development, is an iteration of making and discovering. As you work, you discover new things along the way. As you work, your creation gives you further inspiration. Your thinking branches out in new ways upon seeing what you have made so far.

Beauty is inspiring. If you are focussed solely on development, you may lose out on some of that. I know code can be (and hopefully is) beautiful, and seeing a clean implementation is inspiring too, the user facing portion should not be a second class citizen in the creation process.
IMAP has actually been extended to support that feature (not just kind of randomly, but by the IETF "Lemonade" working group), even allowing (in concert with other extensions) compositing a message from parts (such as attachments) on the server without having to download them first to the client.

However, and I think this is actually more relevant in this context, Mark Crispin was an "opponent". (Note: the following e-mail snippet by Mark Crispin, was written years after the Lemonade Submit proposal expired, and thereby should be considered to already take into account that context.)

"""

For many years, there have been various proposals to add mail sending capabilities to mail access protocols such as POP and IMAP.

These proposals are always strongly opposed. It is one of the "attractive nuisances" of email protocols. The value of the capability is obvious to many people, but the high cost of having it in POP or IMAP is much less obvious.

I am one of the opponents. For the past 25 or so years we have been in the overwhelming majority. It is quite unlikely that this concensus will change. If anything, it has become stronger in recent years.

...

If you're not really that curious, suffice it to say that the people who design the protocols and systems understand the attraction but have excellent reasons not to do it.

Just stop using these services.

Don't use any service provider that does not align well with what is important for your business. If this includes guaranteed service availability and solid customer service and the company in question just can't provide these guarantees, well, don't use them.

It really is that simple.

I have not touched anything Google except for Search and Analytics for probably three years. I learned early-on where my business needs did not align with their offerings and we don't use those services. I couldn't be happier. From my perspective Google is a great company.

There are other approaches to all of the other services. We host our own email for a number of domains on different private servers. Easy. A license of MS Office on every machine isn't a problem if you have a real business, just like a license of the appropriate Adobe suite is almost a must. Tools like GoToMyPC, for the technically challenged are a no-brainer and they are cheap. There are a multitude of cloud storage solutions. And, frankly, for a lot of stuff, there's nothing wrong with hosting your own access-controlled FTP site to share files with your team (although a paid Dropbox account is oh-so-simple).

So, yeah, Google is a good company. Just stick to the stuff that works the way you need it to and you'll be fine.
"Pulling all nighters" implies that you code past midnight, which isn't the case. I used to do stupid hour by staying at work until 8pm; it was ridiculous, and I've since learned not to do it unless I've actually got some flow going.
Because doctor pay is only a portion of overall cost for the patient's care, and it s more efficient to deliver services through a hospital.

Server most certainly can rely on client to store a redundant copy of the data, as there are ways to ensure the data authenticity. Should the server fail and get restored from an hour-old backup, the last hour worth of changes can be fetched from the client, after data integrity verification. Thus the server could get away with hourly backup instead of every-five-second, or full-blown database mirroring.
Hinton was one of the people who invented backpropagation, which has let neural nets be as powerful as they are today. Somehow, despite his brilliance and intimate familiarity with backpropagation, his explanation of it is stunningly clear and simple. I'm thoroughly enjoying this course and recommend it to anyone who wants to build their own neural networks.
Well, consider working on search and thinking "geesh my dream job is not to make search better. I don't like AI. I want to work on building automation tools for the build system.

Okay. Maybe I am a bit cynical about Facebook's work. But the reality is a lot of what they do is toward the scale of social media and on the surface people think "okay new feature from Facebook. Cool Story. Look at Google, more interesting shit. Even their DB work is used multiple domains, not just for social aspect. Because Google is not just a social network company. That's the point I was trying to make. Maybe it's a bit cynical, but it's true. If you go to a different team at FB, still social network? Damn. Let me do something else already.
