Of course it does! It isn't necessarily about premature optimization or temporary code or documentation. It is because we don't know where we are going.

Give anyone on this board a clearly defined waterfall project, five years, fifty million dollars and ten developers and I bet they'll make something beautiful. Even if you don't agree with their decisions by and large you should appreciate how well it would be written. This is because the first couple years will be spent prototyping and learning while the last couple of years will be spent building the finished product.

Our industry is permanently locked in prototyping and nobody knows where the keys are. Companies want the software out yesterday and when they see it they believe it is 'done'. I gave up telling people that I write applications, rather now I just say I'm adapt at building very complex prototypes.

This is why we hate our own code when revisited. Maybe it is because we are smarter, but it is also possible we don't remember what stress was forcing our decisions.

I don't see this changing anytime soon. Working with the subpar, the hastily decided and the rushed release is just something to be accepted.

I believe Larrabee was promising full coherency across all core caches.

Of course, many of us could have told them that that wasn't going to work, but they didn't ask us now did they? :-)

DeFacto Standard is Visual Studio Express (free with basic info). Allows you to develop in any of the Windows 8 UI supported languages, including Javascript. About halfway done with my first game (a visual novel), and I could see where down the line being able to pick up my work wherever I am and whenever I have a few minutes could be very useful. Would love to setup an IDE pointing to Dropbox for assets etc. Of course I am hopeful that the Surface Pro will make this a little more possible as well.
This is exactly the sort of misbehavior that the IDF explicitly claims to avoid, to minimize collateral damage.

IDF may not be following its own claimed standards either, but everyone should.
$450 isn't a "lie". Just above in the article he made clear he considered the requirement to take the next higher model before you could order the FD -- when (he says) the cheaper model could support it -- adds a $200 premium to the $250 price.
You told us "you cant rely on the results" and gave emphatic support to that claim -- "Which is definitely true."

SEEKING WORK - Remote / New York City. Willing to travel.

If you're looking to build a fluid, native-feeling web app, I'm your guy. I've got oodles of experience designing and developing rich client-side web apps, including many large-scale JS applications with Backbone.js and other MV* frameworks (in the past, Zuck's demoed my work onstage at the F8 conference). While client-side web work is my expertise, I'm a solidly 'T-shaped' generalist -- I'm capable of handling pretty much anything that needs doing in order to launch a product, whether that means server-side or native iOS development, copywriting or analytics, or anything in between.

Past projects and contact info can be found at http://lazerwalker.com. Don't be a stranger -- I'm always happy to meet fellow HNers.

Buzzwords: HTML5, CSS3 + SASS, JavaScript (+jQuery), CoffeeScript, Backbone.js, Rails, Node.js
Probably more because this post has been made on a Saturday, bit silly really.
I can tell you it exists since I'm doing exactly what you describe: providing short sessions over Skype/shared-screens, on various topics including pure coding, freelancing, or ETL.

I only do that on a lightweight volume (and I am paid for that since this year).

I believe Avdi Grimm does something similar too.

This is something I really enjoy doing, and I'm surprised that it's not more widespread.

They'll think its old code. I work with plenty of old Fortran linear algebra libraries and I don't think they're crap, they're just old but they still get the job done more efficiently than any modern software.
The Ladders - New York City

Looking for full time on site developers.

We hire people, not skills.

Some stuff we use/do across our company:

Java, Scala, Backbone.js, Storm, RabbitMQ, Puppet, Sass, Responsive Design, Objective-C and on and on.

Ideal candidates probably have at least 5-7 years experience

Here is "job description", if you are interested, you can email me directly: sallen@theladders.com

--

We’re looking for a few good programmers to join our team and help us achieve our mission of “the right person for the right job.”

Instead of giving you a list of buzzwords to describe the role, we’ll tell you about a project we started recently:

A few months back, a small team of engineers and designers at The Ladders got together to design a new product. We started off by interviewing some of our customers to learn about their needs. Using that information, we held design studios and brainstorming sessions to flesh out what the actual features and user experience would be like.

On the front-end, we decided to build a new Javascript-powered rich UI using responsive design techniques. Many people are working on responsive design for content-based sites, but few are doing it for browser-based applications.

On the back-end, we designed an Event Driven Architecture that makes use of Event Sourcing. Instead of updating a relational database in-place when things change, we store a series of discrete application events. We can then replay those events to create the state of the world at any point in the past, right up to the present. (Yes, we’ve built a time machine!)

Does this sound like the sort of thing you’d like to do? If it is, we’d like to hear from you.

In return for your passion and commitment to code quality, you’ll enjoy an awesome work environment with perks like:
Unlimited vacation days! Yes, unlimited!
Quarterly hackathons
A game room and a well-stocked kitchen
Exciting events including holiday parties, picnics, talent shows, pumpkin carving and more
Company sponsored athletic teams
Competitive salary, bonus and stock options
Health/Dental/Vision Insurance, 401K
Colorado gets first Pot related startup
Dancing With The Stars Winner Crowned
Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Interns OK, no remote work.

Silk (www.silkapp.com) is looking for a DevOps engineer, and front-end and full-stack engineers: http://jobs.silkapp.com/

We're building a product that makes it easy for people to create sites with content that is easy to query, visualize and share. On a deeper level, our vision is to bring the semantic web to the masses and build an amazing company around that.

We're working on many interesting and challenging problems, with a custom-built Haskell graph-database on the back-end and a cutting-edge Functional Reactive client-side framework in Javascript on the front-end. The team is still small (~11 people), so you'll be able to make a large impact. We are well-funded by top-tier VCs and located in the city center of Amsterdam.
Although for most purposes you can tell it to just use the "defined" Documents space (effectively user/MyDocuments) which means you shouldn't HAVE to worry about spidering down directories for your save files and such.

In GPUs "core" means something entirely different from what they do with CPUs. If you counted the 3770k's cores the way GPU manufacturers do, it would have 16 cores. And If you count the GTX 670's cores the way a CPU manufacturer would it would only have a few dozen.
Hearts, minds and balls: Microsoft's Windows 8 Surface gamble
Yeah it's not an operational failure to use contractors, but it is an accountability failure, because both sides of the table use the contracting relationship as an excuse to break the law and commit treason, as there is no legal culture in place to handle these "organizational" crimes vs traditional mutiny or war crimes committed by a unit in the hierarchical military.
I'm sure Capital Factory can host this. Also, get in touch with Josh Baer--he writes the Austin StartupDigest every Sunday, and it goes out Monday morning. It lists all the tech-related events in Austin and it's what many people in Austin read to find events. If you're not on it, definitely subscribe as well: http://austin.startupdigest.com/

If you need help with intros for event space, etc., let me know. Contact info in my profile.
That's the first thing that popped into my mind while skimming through the article.
I'm under the impression that the reason Intel isn't producing 256-core CPUs has less to do with the technical problems involved than with the fact that, outside CPU-heavy mathematical computing, nobody needs them. The few embarrassingly parallel tasks we have are most of the time well served by GPUs, or distributed in a cluster of cheap servers to increase I/O.

Seeking freelancer. New York City, USA. Remote work OK.

Need translators from English into other languages. Preferably your native, home language is that language. We have enough Spanish translators, but anything else we are looking. We have projects ready to go now in many languages, and have projects coming down the pipeline in the coming weeks/months for other languages.

A little bit of XML knowledge would be helpful, although nothing extensive is needed. It would put you ahead of others in your language.

Paying market per word rates. Some (not all) of the translations will be for FLOSS projects, so you may be getting paid to work on FLOSS projects in some instances.

Project size varies - some are a few dozen words, some are thousands of words.

This guy is the 1st person I've seen who praises the Galaxy Nexus camera, when it's been almost universally panned. My bro has a Nexus 4 and it seems like a fantastic device overall. Yes, the colors are more toned down than AMOLED but it does not look horrible like the OP implies.
One more: tests! Contribute a few more tests to a project's test suite. Especially for the features that you rely on.
I get that people like traffic and use linkbait, but I do think that this title looks like hyperbole. Is the Nexus 4 a perfect device? No. Is it even a great device -- maybe not. But it at the price point it may well the best device for some non-trivial subset of population.

Google and LG impressed me with this device at the price it's at. Is it the device in my pocket? No... I'm rocking the Lumia 920. But when I look at the short list of phones I'd recommend (depending on various factors of who I'm recommending to) the Nexus 4 is probably quite often on the list.
That only solves one minor issue with loss of privacy.

We're constantly developing as programmers and I'm sure where you open your code written a year ago you first intention is to say "What a crap!"
Perhaps Google shouldn't have switched from using the nexus brand for flagship models to cheap and cheerful.

The whole twice as much twice as good thing is a straw man argument — would you rather pay twice as much for two phones or one phone with 50% better battery life, for example?

Oh Microsoft... so it works on iOS Safari, but not on their own Internet Explorer on Windows Phone 8 :(
I did read the article. I was responding to a post that highlighted the human factors in the conflict.

If the UI was simple, the landing scheduling would be handled automatically. If the plane had too little fuel, the planning failed. Keeping a schedule isn't difficult, human interaction and ill-defined schedules makes things difficult.

I am aware that a central african state isn't exactly the cornerstone of air tech, but good schedules can still be negotiated and kept.

It's like the air france crash where the pilot stalled the plane because of lack of feedback. UI/skill problem.
I would say the data connectivity issues are more a symptom of the 4.2 OS, as my Galaxy Nexus has gone way downhill from 4.1... connectivity included. 4.2 has turned my very good phone into a slightly poor one.
Transportation CO2 emissions make up a tiny fraction of total greenhouse gases. Water vapour is by FAR the biggest greenhouse gas. I wonder if a 787 burns more hydrocarbons flying 250 people from NY to LA than 250 cars driving that distance? Roughly ~9000gal (2500mi 787 @ cruise) is 36gal per car. Assuming everyone gets perfect highway mileage even if they're Prius it wont get them the whole way (50MPG*36gal=1800mi). And that's not considering the energy required to build and maintain 250 Prius cars vs. the cost of one 787. The retail cost alone for 250 Prius is nearly $90M. A 787 is more like $250M, but lasts a least 3x longer than a car.

Transportation has improved since the 1960 by a HUGE amount. Modern cars, trains, and airplanes are significantly better (safer, cheaper, more efficient) than those in the 1960s. I'm curious how much travelling you did in the 1960s compared to today?
