> "I get terribly depressed by how often I see folks take MBTI seriously"

About four years ago I worked briefly for an IT department at a large university. Every staff member at a certain level had to have a one-to-one with the CTO shortly after joining.

About a week before my one-to-one I received a folder from the CTO's PA. It contained:

* The CTO's Myers-Briggs test results in their entirety

* A two page document entitled "How to talk to our CTO", based off said test results

* A discussion of why the CTO's results made him suitable for his job

Needless to say, the guy was a huge jackass and I didn't stay there very long. Do a personality test if you want, but don't let the test dictate how you're doing your job.
I got mine this weekend. It's a solid implementation, a great 1.0 and something Twitter and the engineers who worked on it should be proud of.

When you click the "get my tweets" button, it kicks off a process in Twitter land somewhere. A few minutes later, you get an email with a link to a zip file.

The file contains a full archive of every one of your public tweets, including @replies you've made, but not DM's or replies to you or follower/following information, etc. It's just your public tweets. The tweets themselves are stored as CSV and JSON. Which is actually pretty cool because it means you can build your own apps, or archive apps like Thinkup can ingest your tweets, if you're so inclined.

As the article states, you can explore your archive via a web app that all works client side in a browser, based on Bootstrap, natch. The app works quite well. You can search your archive quickly and easily. It points to the canonical URL of the tweet on twitter.com. There's some pretty basic visualization of your tweet archive.

The javascript that runs the app is all minified so it's kind of hard to explore. The application is named "Grailbird" which I thought was kinda clever ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivory-billed_Woodpecker ).

On a personal note, it was pretty great (though often cringeworthy) to be able to roll back through 6 years of tweets. I found the very first tweet that the woman I'd end up marrying every replied to. The tweets that led to friendships and career changes.

It's a solid first step. Nice work, Twitter.
Right now, the bandwidth to modern GPUs is actually pretty decent (16GB/s bidirectional), but the latency is still horrid. This means that you need rather large operations for offloading to pay off. I think doing raid-5 or full disk encryption with large blocks might just barely be worth it.

However, with AMD and Intel integrated GPUs, this is about to change. AMD is doing a lot of work on HSA, which can be summarized as "GPU and CPU share same memory, and can communicate by passing pointers". I can see this kind of work being really useful in the near future.
This is exactly how I (father of two) have used corporal punishment. It's largely there simply so I have "something worse" in store if you don't take your time-out. I think I've had to use it once every three years. Kids are awesome game players, if they know there is a limit on sanctions they'll play right to that limit.

But it is only a tool. You have to be consistent, and you have to be clear, and you have to be generally supportive. You can't expect of them things they can't do. All of that is probably more important than corporal punishment.
It was certainly attempting to capture something useful about the test-taker's approach to interaction and problem-solving, though -- unlike astrological signs and similar things (which are based only on birthday).

Of course, it depends on the context -- I'd be distressed to run into this as part of a job interview -- but in general the people taking it seriously are trying to figure out ways to help people with different styles of thinking/working interact with each other.

On the whole, this is worth some effort, and you should encourage it (while gently dissuading them from using the MBTI as the starting point...).
E.g. by buying a fake russian passport for $200, stating your nationality is Jewish.

I'm so happy to be running an old crappy Nokia "no-apps, not even J2ME" phone.

We read the other day that Kaspersky preferred to run a very simple phone for security reasons.

I wonder if other security-savvy people like Bruce Schneier etc. are using the latest gizmos (be it from Apple, Samsung, Microsoft or any other) or, well, just something that allows to give and receive phone calls.

Can't wait to see a botnet of 40 millions Samsung devices.

It's really sad this kind of headlines give a bad rep to Google, Android and Linux (even if the "culprit" is Samsung).

I'll wait a few more years and see how things turn out but meanwhile I keep my good old phone that, you know, allows to give and receive phone calls : )
I think stories of entrepreneurs can seem biased, because those are all success stories on the whole, but if you dial down deep into all of those stories you can hear from the entrepreneurs of the years that they struggled and the years they thought they were at rock bottom. That is what I think he, and anyone else, should take away from the videos, the fact that those entrepreneurs struggled in obscurity before finding success.

I am pretty anti-pharamcetuicals, but I am very pro-supplement and nutrients. Simply not getting enough of certain amino acids can cause depression or other things. An example is dopamine, which is built from tyrosine in the body. is the neurotransmitter dopamine. The evidence is that it has to do with motivation and not pleasure. I recently wrote an article about that change here ( http://matznerd.com/dopamine-is-not-about-pleasure-anymore-a... ) but the main takeaway is that if you lack the nutrients in your body to make dopamine it can result in depression...
If it was just revealed, it's been going on in some way or another for the last two decades plus.
I applaud your desire to seek out help (and your creativity). I am clearly not a professional but depression is an evolutionary response to loss, trauma, and/or change. The mind realizes that the current map of reality is off. Ultimately, as Dr. Peck wrote in The Road Less Traveled: "life is difficult". There are many problems to be solved in the journey of life. Life is about solving problems and things can get a bit brighter when we decide to become active problem solvers.

I think that you actually may have made progress in therapy because of the mere fact that you stuck with it for 7 years. You may be further on your journey than you realize. I wish you the best of luck.
I think Potato make a lot of use of it. They've got some tools in their GitHub https://github.com/potatolondon and some really interesting projects in their portfolio http://p.ota.to/work/ (no surprise with Google among their clients.) They do a lot of Django work.
When a person makes a statement, "All guns are bad, and the more automatic they are, the worse." They've lost all credibility, and in my opinion aren't really deserving of a well thought out rebuttal due to their obvious lack of experience in this field.

Let's take this statement, "The NRA says "guns don't kill people, people do" but the truth is that guns help people who want to kill people, kill more people."

Right, guns help people who want to kill people, kill more people, hence it's a tool like any other. My guns that I have, have yet to jump themselves out of my house and shoot someone, they require an operator to use. So that statement you seem to have such a problem with, is 100% factually true, guns don't kill people by themselves, they make it easier for people to do so. I don't really see what sort of counter to that is even needed, when obviously it's the operator of the guns that are the problem, not the guns themselves.
[Blood pressure is] around >170sys/120dia and higher for me when feeling good)

Please ask your GP to refer to you an endocrinologist. This level of elevated blood pressure is directly harmful in the long term; and while I am not a medical doctor, I'm aware of potentially life-threatening endocrine conditions which can both (a) cause elevated blood pressure and (b) make you feel like crap when your blood pressure is not so high. Even if you're not worried about the long-term organ damage you'll suffer, I hope you'll take the risk of imminent collapse seriously.

Why Is Now A Special Moment In Time For Your Startup To Exist?
So, none of them? Again, never used PL/I, so I can't roll on that one, but I know guys who have been doing FORTRAN since the seventies and that culture and outlook bears little resemblance to the C community. Java's community is not nearly as buttoned-up and business-centric as COBOL's was (even the oh-so-wise "scripting people" aside); COBOL had literally-literally no other significant use case. And PHP, for all its many warts, is viewed as a language you use to ship products, novice or no. Actual products that people use, no less. The first time I can think of BASIC being readily usable for that was in the nineties.

They don't draw similar criticisms at all, unless you take the Djikstra paper literally (and not even Djikstra took the Djikstra paper literally). It's a chance to slag on languages rather than a way to move the conversation forward; he challenged me to make better comparisons and my point is that the number of factors that exist today are so much greater that a comparison will fail. To understand the Djikstra paper you have to understand the languages, not short-circuit a poor comparison.

(And I do know all of them except PL/I, which sort of pains me, but...)

My bet is they are set up as three apps, in which case, you get 1 free dyno per app (all of them).
There's this example from the README which seems to do what you are asking for:

end
end

Compose is another piece I wish more languages had. The functional style of small, orthogonal functions has changed the way I write code, but in many imperative languages, function composition as I know it just doesn't exist. And sometimes that disparity is a real bummer.

You can get close in dynamic languages, as with JS, Ruby, and Python. But if we're talking about Java or C++, it's just not happening, not without a bunch of work and not within an existing codebase where the introduction of new styles might actually be counterproductive.
Maybe it doesn't have to saturate the GPU to be a win. If you can just banish some cache busting, streaming work, like raid processing, to a tiny sliver of the GPU it could be a win.
Particularly ironic is PHP ranking high for ``This language is likely to be a passing fad''. Given its 17 years of history and recent the recent progress with versions 5.3 and newer... whoever voted on this position either wasn't aware of PHP's actual situation and outlook, or was just being thinking wishful.

-- EDIT --

> Why does almost everyone know the language?

If anything, it is that almost everyone can dabble in PHP and ^C^V some code. IMHO real knowledge of PHP and its ecosystem seem to be quite rare -- judging by reading some published code, which was as generic and un-PHP as possible, and by comments attached to the official docs.
Me. Www.likeapub.com the world's largest online pub is run with GAE. Only paying two dollars per month for hosting.
Needless to say, the guy was a huge jackass and I didn't stay there very long.

The jackass in question should have read the references about the Myers-Briggs test that I've already submitted to this thread (above in this same subthread). And he should also have done some research on company hiring procedures

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4613543

so that he knew that what really matters for his organization is whether or not his colleagues can do their work. He should have worked harder at developing himself as an effective CTO.
Point.

However I, personally, see no sign of that process changing. Popular culture does not have to be good to pull away the children of religious people. It merely has to be attractive. And popular culture is constantly, relentlessly, optimizing for shallow attractiveness.
Thanks for this, I was immediately curious what's included and how it works.

Would you be willing to share an example of the JSON structure for a tweet?
I compare amazon and gae and think that gae is cheaper if u r not sure if your idea will work out or not.

Regardless whether PHP is a poorly designed language, or if it has some sense of "design" at all, the website should have listed good uses of PHP. There are plenty.
There is a link to the Vagrant docs on running chef solo at the bottom of the article. Not sure if it was always there or if it was a response to this comment because the author made no indication of edit or update.
Why do you assume that submission is the goal of the beating? Or that you know the best way to raise children?
I am replying to you assuming that you and your parent will be able to see this.

Just tested this. Details first - Custom ROM (based on ICS). Stock google camera app (based on ICS).

"chmod 0600 /dev/exynos-mem" works well. The file permissions then shows crw------- as expected. The camera app still works fine. I tried recording videos and capturing pictures and was successful (1080p & 8MPx settings). Looking at the file permission after launching the camera app still shows no change (i.e. if it was 0600, it remains 0600). However, when I reboot the phone, the file's permission returns to 666. I have done this entire process three times just to be sure, and the file's permissions always returns to the default values.

Might need to look into it further, but frankly I don't have the time nowadays.
Beauty is, of course, subjective, but the use of 'this' stands out to me as unusual for these particular patterns. Call it a slightly leaky abstraction, I suppose.

That said, at least the function declaration syntax looks a lot like Haskell's type signatures. So maybe they're doing something right. :)
" there are two main reasons why there are so many shootings in the US 1/ ... 2/ guns are everywhere"

Quite the contrary, there aren't enough guns. If the teachers were carrying, if the school had armed security guards, if the principal had a handgun, etc. then this "crazy" person would likely not have acted out. As Quannel X says, a person may be "crazy" but that doesn't mean they're crazy. That is, most persons who are classified as mentally ill don't act out in a situation where they will likely lose.

"...please explain why a school teacher would have three guns in her house, one of them a Glock semi-automatic pistol?"

Perhaps because it is allowed, because she enjoys target shooting, because she hunts and the .223 semi-auto AR-15 is one of the most popular hunting rifles in existence in the USA. Because the Glock is an OK and very popular handgun.

The question for the mother is not why she owned firearms but why she allowed her son unsupervised access to her firearms. She made a mistake and paid the price. Darwin rulez once again.
We, streak.com, use GAE. We think its one of the best platform decisions we've made. Zero admin time, scales without us worrying about it, etc.

We aren't really worried about the platform lockin (we think it will be hard to migrate from any provider to any other provider anyways). Cost can be an issue if you don't optimize or do things the appengine way. But at least you have the decision - you can tradeoff $ for engineering time.
What is the problem that vagrant solves, that can't be done without virtualbox on its own, or virtualbox and chef/puppet on their own?

Or lacking that, what does vagrant do so much better than the base tools on their own that you would never want to do without it?

As far as I can see you can do all that vagrant does with vboxmanage, vboxheadless and cloning. I generally ssh into my virtualboxes already.

You could even make an argument against vagrant - if you want to maintain the same deployment tools for vboxes and production boxes, so that you can rehearse/test initial deployment, deployment and recovery on a vbox configured as much as possible as a production box.

I'm more than open to correction or persuasion ...
Pulse uses it extensively, iirc.
This reads like something I'd expect to see on kuro5hin.org. I have no idea weather you're trolling or honest - and I have to admit I like that a lot; your comment should be (is) subject to interesting discussion.

The mental challenge of deciphering whether or not you're actually serious (thereby weighting if the reality you describe could be real; significantly your change of heart; also how anti/a-social you actually were before this) is in itself quite interesting.

Personally I did a few cruel things when I was younger, but at some point realized that trying to improve the world was much harder, and thereby ended up focusing on being nice. It is also much more rewarding. I still get some guilty pleasure from tearing down people that are acting cruel; knowing that it's not a very effective way of improving things - but it can be very satisfying at times.
Paul, did you apply this to Hoppy Press? Just curious what the market is for hand made beer art.
I never suggested medication, or telling a child that they are mentally ill.

"I wonder if a nice beating would have done you any good." This was a response to a description of severe acting out by a child. A child threatening to kill herself or her parents is not an indication of sound mental health. Hitting them will make it worse.

Sufficiently dysfunctional behavior defines what it means to have a psychological problem.

The comment was essentially a "Thanks everyone for the support, I will answer your emails" posted by (presumably) the OP with his real account. Nothing worth getting excited about censorship.
Mozilla Reflects on 2012, Claims Users Love Do Not Track
I think the article oversees an important factor in startup success: the needs of the market is a vast land, and surely there is an intersection with a passion yours.

I can't envision the founder of Bang & Olufsen being indifferent to sound quality, or the founder of Herman Miller being indifferent to office furniture. I chose these companies deliberately because I don't know their founders, but I'm sure they were passionate about their field.

I can't fathom building a company for a market that might be lucrative, but is meaningless to me. I'd rather build 10 failed companies than create a profitable CRM for telemarketers.
The Apple/Google feud lens is getting so exhausting.

Far from challenging anything, Google is adding value to Apple's platform. Everyone wins. The end.
This is a great article, and definitely something I could recommend to a lot of people.

But what about passion? Identifying a market is one thing, but should you go after it if you don't have any interest for that particular domain? I know that's what Patrick did with BingoCardCreator, but I personally don't think I would be capable of that.

Of course market research is primordial, but I still think there's something to be said for following your passion and building something really cool. You might not make as much money, but on the other hand maybe you'll enjoy the process more.
I agree with your major point, but Ireland has a growing population in terms of birth rate. The only reason the overall population isn't growing is because of emigration between the ages of 18-25. The birth rate did go down during the boom, but its gone right back up to late 1970's levels during this current recession.

For some bizarre reason, Irish people love having babies.

Full disclosure: I am a childless Irish male in my older 30's, I know many people I grew up who have had kids since the economy went into the crapper.

The cultural changes you mention are not specific to Japan, they are global. For an in depth analysis of the issue I suggest F. Roger Devlin's classic paper 'Sexual Utopia In Power':

Tethras (http://tethras.com) is built entirely on top of App Engine for Python. We're a fully managed app translation service. We've found a lot of the baked in features like map reduce and the search api really help us with out with our translation memory and translation search implementations.
There are behaviors which simply aren't acceptable, and it's important that the people who behave those ways are let to know that they're not. Threatening to kill people almost certainly falls on this list.

Not only that, but some people, such as people with schizophrenic disorders, need medicine (Specifically, pharmaceuticals.) to stay sane, literally. Part of the problem with disorders where you need to take pills are that some people don't want to take them, or the pills help them, and then they decide they're fine and stop medicating themselves. At which point they relapse into an episode.

I think we absolutely need better mental health care, and better mental health care research. We still don't know much about basic things like sleep. And yet we're being tasked with treating a growing number of people with psychiatric issues. Naturally, the result is something of a disaster.
