American Reunion is good fan service if you grew up with the series.

The Hobbit is a technical marvel in HFR (everyone who says otherwise is wrong).

Life Of Pi is another technical marvel—possibly the best visuals I have ever seen.

Side by Side is an informative documentary about the rise of digital filmmaking and its cultural and technical effects (positive and negative), with polarizing opinions from tons of Hollywood folks big and small.

To Rome With Love was this year's Woody Allen entry, if that's your thing.

The Master is a shallow and empty script, but has two great performances and looks great projected in 70mm.

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is a downright pleasant movie that no one saw, wherein Ewan McGregor shows that he can do a convincing Scottish accent.

Lockout was a no-holds-barred "dumb action flick" that was surprisingly fun, mostly because of Guy Pearce's performance.
Does this mean that Google is violating their terms by listing them in search results? I think someone from Google should maybe try to comply with this, I bet VS will be thrilled ;)
The guidelines say that good posts are: "Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity."

Don't see anything there about things having to be "recent."

Ewan McGregor is Scottish, so it is really no surprise that he can do a convincing Scottish accent.
I think this has descended into you making ad hominem attacks on me, so I'm not going to reply anymore, since it's no longer an argument. I feel as if my point has been made and there is no need to continue this back and forth. Again, I'm sorry that you were offended, and it's too bad this is how you react.

And please, if I do write about film and it's bad, just tell me. I'd rather know than continue doing it poorly. And if I was still passionate about it, yes, I would think education, perhaps film school, would help.

The same is true for seeking in MP3, FYI. You can only 'seek' to a specific frame in the file, and frames have a fixed length. Sub-frame seeking in MP3 only came later and it works the same way - seeking to the nearest frame, and then discarding some audio to get to the desired point.
Include "less dangerous" in "easier". Simply not showing up is not a good option for a responsible person trying to get ahead. Making sure the employment market is healthy and decoupling health care from employment might be helpful.
No, I never said that. I disliked Looper because its action wasn't very fun, original, or well-choreographed, its stylized look doesn't suit me, Levitt's prosthetics were distracting and unnecessary, and, to a lesser extent, its plot details that involved time travel were really dumb.

The time travel stuff is not my chief complaint, because the movie could have ultimately been enjoyable even with a stupid time travel foundation, in which case my previous comment would still be appropriate. I was merely responding to the claim (which is ridiculously common among critics) that Looper is a "smart" movie.
Animator's Survival Kit by Richard Williams

is the book on animation, takes you through all the basics and breaks down why disney's animators were just better than everyone else... applicable to css3 / front end development.

Yes indeed. That was sarcasm.
Yes. Usually when programming one encounters problems that are solved elegantly by introducing abstraction. The parent argues that doing this too eagerly results in a big mess that should be avoided by being cautious with abstraction. I argue the converse, being too cautious with abstraction can result in a big mess and you should be eager to abstract.

Of course there is a golden path in the middle, but it is closer to my side ;)
> which would mean there would be a strong bias against languages that make it easy to write sane URLs

This is false. It is very easy to make sane URLs in PHP. You just designate index.php (or whatever you want, actually) as the default index in your http server. In fact, that's how it works in every language?

Few books from this year:

The New Solution Selling -- The first sales book I ever read and extremely enlightening. It demystified much of the sales process for me.

The Intelligent Investor -- Timeless ideas on investing.

Steve Jobs -- I had no intention of reading this book but found it incredibly interesting. Very insightful.

The Intelligent Entrepreneur -- This book followed 3 HBS grads from pre-HBS to entrepreneur success, and attempted to draw some overarching conclusions on what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur. Very interesting.

Name of the Wind -- The only fully fiction book I read this year. Great book. Waiting on the 3rd to come out before I read the second in the series.

Dreaming in Code -- I'd heard great things about this book but I felt it was very lacking in insight. Some interesting moments but overall a disappointment. Perhaps it is because I read it after ~6 years of professional programming experience + 4 years of school + a number of other programming books?

Teaching Minds -- Roger Schank's latest book on education. In this one he outlines key cognitive abilities that education should be centered around rather than subjects. Very interesting.

A Concise Guide to Macroeconomics -- I had read very little macroeconomics, and this book provided a very readable and quick guide on the basics.

Bounce (by Matthew Syed) -- Great book about how great performers became great performers. This goes back to the nurture vs nature debate, and sides very heavily on the nurture side. Syed was an olympic ping pong player from the UK.

The Willpower Instinct -- I'm still reading this one (with my wife), and find it to be unbelievably insightful. If you have any desires to change any habits or behaviors, this book is incredible.

The Innovator's Solution -- The book after The Innovators Dilemma. Very insightful, just like the previous one.
Great if you...

b. are constanly hiring web developers
c. like to leave hiring to chance
Receiveee.com - disposable email address
If you show me a residential environment that has a dedicated IT staff that only allows qualified people on the network, then you can assume one of the qualified people is responsible for the traffic. You still have to figure out which one because 'an IP address is not a person'.

I'm applying the same standards to either situation. The way a corporate network is configured (excluding cases of incompetence) gives you pretty solid evidence that AN employee was in violation. You still have no idea which employee, which is why an individual suit like in the residential cases would be highly unfounded. Same standard when it comes to that rule. The only difference is that you can go after a corporation as a cohesive group, whereas you cannot go after a household as a cohesive group.
I used my free time during Christmas and pushed a huge update to my latest weekend hack. It's a disposable email address service.

Some of the main features are:

* SSL only connections

* All data is stored in memory using redis to make the site blazing fast

* New mails are instantly displayed using web sockets

* Automatically clicking on common activation links

* Your inbox doesn't expire
Because of files exposed to outside parties?

How is this any different than people emailing files around (which legal departments still do themselves quite a bit)?
The point about options pricing and appreciation is a good one, and it's worth considering: if you issue options to soon-to-be- former employees that only an irrational person will execute, only your most irrational former employees will hold shares in your company. Not good.

Context matters hugely. Here is their full Linking section, which does not include anything from the title:

"

"

It seems fine to me. The text in the title actually is the following special section:

"

This seems quite reasonable to me. Apparently, spammers must be getting their pages higher for searches of Victoria's Secret than the site itself is at.

I think the policy is perfectly reasonable in context, and I think anyone reading this knows exactly what VS is talking about.
'Burn' Emails

Use https://receiveee.com for all of your illicit emailing.
But it works both ways; there will be people who you like who decide not to stick with you. You want to minimize the number of outsiders who hold shares in your company. If you don't grok this, you need to talk to more experienced people; this has to be one of the top horror story themes in startupland.

Also, stop kidding yourself. Evaluating startup team members is very hard. You probably have a longer ramp-up than you think you do, during which you have very little ability to evaluate people; also, there is a huge class of bad hire that starts strong and decays rapidly.

There are all sorts of ways you can motivate yourself to evaluate new hires quickly. Use salary or sign-on bonuses instead of vesting. Messing around with your company ownership to accomplish such a simple tactical goal says something about how seriously you take ownership; it's probably not something you want to be saying out loud.
Great advise...I never thought of runnings ads as an experiment.
well you could create an iCloud account for your kid and only add your account to apple store section.
The rationale for the discounts is that you don't know (or at least it's non-obvious), whether the discount is coming from the flight or the hotel. If the "Book together and save" amount is positive then you'll generally be getting a better deal than direct. You might see the same total price occasionally but it certainly won't be the case the majority of the time.
Create a second account for yourself?

As another commenter said, this sounds like the basis of math (or CS) itself. Understanding is emergent. Inference and learning are, to me, the pillars of it and we can do those. Understanding is the ability to internalize some idea and make correct inferences about it. But then what is an idea? And down the rabbit hole I go ...
The suggestion to setup a separate iCloud account per kid is great, except that the TOS prohibits it for kids 12 and under:

http://www.apple.com/legal/icloud/en/terms.html

With regards to the "proper" way to setup an iPod. I'd be willing to be that the vast majority of users have no clue whatsoever. I'd also be willing to bet that most users use the same login uid and pwd for both services, which means that when asked for credentials they automatically enter that info. Grandma has no clue as to the finer points of how to setup an iPod for the kids.

Aside from that, Apple gives no guidance whatsoever on "best practices". Users turn on the device and just enter what they are prompted to enter without any options to learn about the consequences of their choices. Given that, it is perfectly reasonable to expect most people to not even consider some of the posted ideas.

Most of the comments seem to have ignored the fundamental premise of my post:

Group account management and multi-user capabilities are sorely missing on iOS. There are a ton of use cases beyond the kids-with-ipods example. Yes, you can hack and patch your way around solving the specific issues I presented. We've already done it, of course. This is not a solution to the greater underlying issue.

Put plainly, I ought to be able to have full command of my "fleet" of iDevices as the administrator. This includes adding and removing users, enabling user access to different devices, selecting which apps are available to each user, selecting who can see what data (for example, photos) and managing guest accounts on the various devices.

It sounds complicated, but, well, either Apple is a great software/UI company or they are not. They ought to be able to make something like this usable.

Here's another use case for multiple accounts: Development. As far as I have been able to tell, there is no way to have a development and shipping version of your app on the same device. In other words, I want to be able to show and test my shipping app while, at the same time, also have my latest development build installed. I have to admit not having researched this too far, but it seems that it isn't possible. The only way is to actually call your development version something else. If you had multiuser capabilities you could have a "dev" user where all of your development builds and experiments could live. Your normal user would be nice and clean and only have the shipping version.
Thanks for your advise. Makes sense. One of the problems was to figure out what "winning" looks like. We have a sense of what we need to achieve and are driving towards that goal. But would like to make sure are not missing anything.
Religion is just one form of worldview or belief system.

Everyone has a worldview/belief system, no matter how scientific they are.

An belief systems are non-rational. These are the default nodes in your cognitive framework. They aren't evaluated, they are just assumed to be facts. They aren't easily changeable. For anyone, no matter how good they are at reasoning.
Generally one refrains from mixing tabs and spaces within the same file.
Fox News would not exist if people weren't scared of foreigners blowing up their house in Nebraska because some Saudi's crashed a plane into the WTC 11 years ago.
I stand by my original assertion.
For a non-game app, how hard it is to use cross-platform tools such as Sencha/PhoneGap to develop for both Android and iPhone (and maybe even for tablet) at the same time?
Not an HR specialist and this may be beside the point, but i believe if you do this for the new grad you'd also have to give that option to the tenured folks as well otherwise you'd basically be discriminating based on age which is illegal.
Sounds like I have a bit more reading to do. Thanks
Complete fantasy tangent here but ...

Its amazing to me how much effort we as human beings put into memorizing and retaining 'factual' knowledge like this. Can you imagine how far we could go if all this knowledge could literally be loaded into our brains at an early age so that instead of basic arithmetic (for example) kids in elementary were already doing quantum physics and things of that nature.

I know its far far away, but it really really fascinates me to think of the implications of just doing away with having to relearn "learned" things so that we could devote energies to far more advanced topics.
well, if you want server-type apps you will have to port them too... most run on posix.
It would make the entire setup process more logical. While it may result in slightly more steps at initial setup time, it would bring clarity to the process, so you wouldn't be in the situation you are now where clearly many people are Doing It Wrong because Doing It Wrong is the easy path.

Also, it makes it easier to undo the damage if you actually do go ahead and do it wrong, no need to do what amounts of a factory reset of the device to get to your desired state.

Usually the best UX is the one which has less steps for the user, but in some situations that can be taken to an extreme which removes important clarity of what is actually happening from the user, and IMO Apple's current device setup system suffers from that.

The XKCD comic is about looking at the landscape of near-equivalent standards and trying to make one that's subjectively better.

WebM looked at the landscape of H.264 and tried to be subjectively better. People didn't want to switch, it didn't get anywhere.

H.265 is looking at the landscape of H.264 plus time and better methods/computers and is trying to be objectively better. It objectively uses far less bandwidth for the same quality; it is a generation ahead.

Daala is looking at the landscape of H.264 plus time and better methods/computers and is trying to be objectively better, the same way H.265 is.

H.265 and Daala are equals (as far as I know) in trying to replace obsolete technology. Neither one is trying to be a more friendly/clean/nice replacement at the same level as existing and working standards.

Side note: What is the comic even talking about with character encodings? As far as universal character encodings there's what, three, all of them Unicode? Two if you ignore china? Before that you had a bunch of country-specific pages but they weren't competing. EBCDIC vs. ASCII isn't exactly a plethora either...
I presume the reason they haven't stopped making it is because kids would still like to see new episodes, and my daughter would enjoy that as well. Yes, we have some of the older seasons, but Mom and Dad can almost do a verbatim of the script on some of them by this point :-)
Thanks! I will add it to my filters and make sure users dont register through it. ;)
Actually, the one thing that separates the OTAs is that their reviews are "verified" and are submitted by guests who have completed reservations at that property so they are supposed to be a lot better. If you compare this to Tripadvisor, anyone can submit a review so they have to deal with more fraud.
My first foray into science was working in a lab at NASA on an internship. The scientist I was working with came up with a hypothesis and instead of testing it in a scientific way, simply disregarded the information that didn't agree with her thesis and used the information that did. I'm obviously not saying all scientists do this, but the way she did it, and the complete lack of self awareness for what she was doing make me feel like it happens fairly often.

I also feel like its a pretty good analogue for modern life. People seem less willing to discover the truth than they are to use facts that support the point they want to make while ignoring the inconvenient parts of the facts.
Gonna add new domains form time to time :p
I completely disagree with you there. Multiple accounts are messy and add tons of complexity. They are anything but easy to understand.

I think Apple needs to add them, but I always envisioned them as a pro feature. Throwing normal users into a multiple account setup process seems like a very bad idea to me.

I’m also not sure how multiple account creation can prevent this specific failure in any way. Someone who is inclined to set up their kids’ devices with their own account will likely not doing anything different during the same step in a multiple account set up process.
Why pre-suppose that 2 per year is an acceptable norm, that is not problematic in itself?

No one does. The rest of your comment is a riff on that point, so I won't respond to that. This (brief) analysis was trying to answer the question: are there more mass shootings now than in the past? The answer was no, and that there are about 2 a year.

This point is entirely independent from the question, what can we do to decrease the number of mass shootings?

I agree that the current system is broken, unfortunately this proposed system seems more broken.
It's also illuminating to note that haskell curries function application. This allows us to think of map as a function of one argument.

map :: (a -> b) -> ([a] -> [b])

so instead of thinking that map takes a function and a list and applies that function to the list, we can think that map takes a function and "lifts" that functions argument and result types to the list type.

This thinking leads us directly to Functors and fmap
