PHP definitely has its annoyances: the function naming scheme alone still drives me mad after nearly 15 years of PHP experience.

That said though, like most IT projects, the more you put in at the start, the more you get out in the end. If you rush into a project and don't plan out even the basics, it only stands to reason that you'll end up in a mess.

Along these lines, I have to wonder how many problems the quick-fix tutorial-style articles cost after developers copy-and-paste in an attempt to hurry through a project. My guess: lots.

Personally, I think it's an exciting time to be in PHP. It's possible to put together complicated, scalable sites in what is really an incredibly short amount of time.
This is the problem I think; you simply don't want your new employer to find pics of you passed out naked or worse. One of my friends from highschool was very promiscuis then; she slept with just about everyone and was always drunk / naked at parties. She had sex in public places. She would've been on the internet these days in pics/vids. Now she is a very highly paid manager and has a family; I don't think that would work that way if her boss found pics and videos of her smeared all over the web, not to mention her boy friend whom she met years after this when she cleaned up her act. Sure everyone knew who she was and what she did, but taking picture? You needed some kind of big machine for that and, worse, you needed to find some photographer outlet to develop it who did NOT know her, her parents, you, your parents. That was not that simple in my town. And polaroid? We never heard of that until much later; I never saw one unless it was in US tv shows.
People are beginning to preface anecdotal evidence with "this just anecdotal, but ...", as if there is some loophole to the fallacy.

It's really annoying when people confuse humility and an acknowledgement of a scarcity of evidence with jumping head-first into making a useless, fallacious argument.

Personal stories are fine[1], but it's worth keeping in mind that one of the pre-eminent unironic peddlers of anecdotal evidence as proof is Thomas friggin' Friedman.

Do you have a source saying the designer was actually fired because of sharing internal information?
Maybe, but both questions are easily answered in my opinion.
Paid subscriptions I'd guess
At what point did your thought process switch from "it's all about me," to "it's all about the company?"
Huh, I wrote a little tool to keep track of my own command line snippets ages ago, also called `cheat`. I guess that's the natural name for it.
Another problem, post-university, is keeping a clean Facebook profile when all your new connections are professionals.

G+ solve this with circles, but I don't know anyone on G+, and it's too easy to make privacy mistakes on Facebook.

My Facebook profile is turning into my new Linkedin as I'm getting older.
Ouch. This may be the only time that an critical comment from a stranger on the Internet has stung this much.

Point taken. I'll try to do better.
It's probably the reverse of this same logic: "Why do not they just copy and paste the link wherever they want to share it?"
Had Dustin simply made suggestions, he'd be trying to help the brand. Instead, he made it personal and demeaned the livelihood of professionals he'd never met. After he received a response, he then went on to make more backhanded jabs, for example saying he was "surprised" that the other designer's work actually looked good.

Telling an unfamiliar company to "fire designers" he hadn't interacted with wasn't helping a brand. It was being a douchebag and demonstrates an astounding lack of maturity and experience at best.

Edit: Dustin responded to a sibling post: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5027792 .
How about the DVD extras... I don't think outside of DVDs there is anywhere one can watch the DVD extras: be it the commentary or the making of.
The tenth anniversary edition of American Gods is read by a great cast, and is more like a play than an audio book. Each character is read well. Really sucked me in.
I think "culture fit" makes this sound more specific than it is: it's mostly about interpersonal relationships within the team, and enthusiasm for the problem domain. For some reason the west-coast startup cargo cult seems to think that every company needs to be a unique and beautiful snowflake which offers niche perks and only hires (for example) ginger rock-climbers with astigmatism who like Devo.

The fact of the matter is, half of this article is about the new employee getting along with your team. This doesn't necessarily require common interests, it's just about having similar communication styles, and to an extent values. The beer test is an excellent way to establish this.

The other half is about hiring enthusiastic recruits, especially the 'green and keen' fresh out of college, who are willing to sacrifice their lives to ship. I personally don't agree with sleeping under your desk every night, or living in a perpetual crunch, but I'm lucky enough to have an interesting, challenging job where I want to work on related projects at home. If an employee is interested in the problem they're solving, they'll be more productive, regardless of whether they spend 8 hours or 12 hours at the office.

In short, I like all of the content in the article, but 'culture fit' makes it seem like a mystical x factor, when it's really common sense.
To be clear, these CD are publishings of newly published works, in order to get them grandfathered in to the copyright law of today. This publication is not about copyright of already published works.
> For example, I was informed by an inexperienced developer a couple of years ago that it was now considered (by who?) 'best practice' to leave out the closing tags in PHP files. WTF?

With this statement, I can't decide if you are being serious or just having a good laugh.

> Perhaps 85% of PHP (we could almost say web) projects are fire-and-forget, with minimal maintenance.

Keep in mind, your knowledge is based on your environment. If you work with bad code, that's all you know. I don't, so I don't realize what it's like working "in the wild."
Many startups successfully use the PPP (progress, plans, problems) methodology format for their investor communications. A product we created, Weekdone (http://weekdone.com/) is something many startups now use to inform their investors, board or even internal team on their status. We'll add the option soon to create your own sections and rename the headings, as well as other periods than week (eg monthly, bi-monthly, daily etc). Any feedback is welcome.
Heard this on NPR last night on the commute home. The piece is a powerful and very coherent analogy relating modern "slut shaming" to the classic The Scarlet Letter.

It's heartbreaking to hear about kids making bad decisions in an effort to fit in, but it's even worse to think that these mistakes can follow them forever due to the nature of digital content.

I couldn't believe how cruel even the girls were to young women that were victimized. Some of them were quoted as saying it wasn't even the guys' fault, that we can't help it. That's so offensive to me on so many levels.

From the comments on npr: Where is the "and then the boys were arrested for illegal wiretapping and dissemination of child pornography" part of the story? "After their convictions, their friends didn't think it was so funny, and the boys didn't hold their heads up when they had to register as a sex offender" would stop this from happening quick.

Could you see some measures being enforced to minors?

Additionally, a personal note -- I'd like to see a shuffle system.

90% of the time I use any of those services, it isn't really to pay attention to a show; it's for background noise. The same way I'd put on one of my favorite movies or leave the television on HBO while tidying up or making dinner, etc -- on any online service, I'd like to say "from this [list|category|favorites], play random selections of shows and/or movies until I tell you to stop."
> How does extending copyright on already created works encourage people to produce new works?

You wrongly assume that a reasoning for a law has to actually make sense. You can push basically any logically inconsistent apologetics into law, as long as you have enough people in power supporting you.

You're wasting your time trying to logically explain something what was never built on sound reasoning in the first place. It's just a power-based money grab, thats it.
I like this. It would be nice with an option to sign in with something else but twitter.
Ohh hey your that guy I have been cleaning up after. Thanks for making the lives of everyone who comes after you miserable. Keep up the good work. I will keep rewriting all your crap.
it is also consistent with what they do in the Bay Area. Mountain View ( where they headquartered ) has free Google wifi.

I've seen a few other comments to the effect that if US society weren't so prudish about sex, incidents like this wouldn't be so bad. I do not agree. These situations are not about sexual imagery, its about people using that imagery and media to engage in harassment campaigns against others. This harassment is highly misogynist and often is focused on the girl in the photo/video rather than the person who is maliciously spreading that media, even if person doing the spreading appears in said media itself.

Fixing this situation requires many things, but at a minimum school administrators needs clear anti-harassment policies that are enforced against people who are spreading this media as a form of harassment. Sex education that focuses on consent and explores issues of patriarchy and rape culture in the US in addition to basic biology and mechanics of sex is also needed.

Of course, this is a long running issue in US society, so nothing will happen overnight, but we must demand that institutions we trust with the education and oversight of young folks be a force for defeating harassment and sexism.

I think this is true fairly often... I do know others that are so wrapped up in their life that they didn't spend the time to keep in touch with friends and let those networks grow through their 20's and now find themselves evolved into a corner.
Clear Up the "Cloud" Confusion
> "What exactly should facebook police? Morality? Ethics?"

You're suggesting a slippery slope where there is none. The authenticity of bullying is easy to verify because there is at least one party able to testify to its undesiredness. We're not talking about policing morality, we're talking about behavior that, in the vast majority of cases, is quite unambiguous.

> "That really should fall under society and parents/children"

There's a false dichotomy here. While we can expect and hope that people are self-policing of their children and peers, there is room for additional governance. Why can't we have both? After all, if you ran a convenience store and noticed that bullies were beating up kids outside and using their lunch money to buy goods at your business, why wouldn't it fall upon you, where it occurs, to stop the behavior?

Nobody says Facebook has to become the grand authority on cyberbullying, but it is within their capability - and IMO there is at least a slight tinge of moral responsibility - to put a substantial dent in the problem.
Maybe you should get the Zip. Only $60 but less features than the One.

Online price discrimination: Conspicuous by its absence
This whole article should have been prefaced with a giant 72-pt IMHO and suffixed with a 72-pt YMMV.

I was amazed at recommendations #4 and #5: reward somebody for "fitting in" etc. (!!!!!!!)

I highly recommend Andy Grove's "High Output Management" if you're really interested in building a high-performance organization. It's a highly objective book: don't waste time on voodoo like "Intriguingly, in a "social" environment, the candidate would often show more of their "true colors". Especially if beer was involved."
I think that's going to be difficult, at least initially. It looks like you at least get a MySQL client though, and it can run WordPress with only a few changes: http://www.hiphop-php.com/wp/?p=113

In defense of Doing "Nothing"
Nicely done, I love how easy it is to flick between fonts instantly.

I would second cleverjake's comment that a neat way to see serveral fonts together would be awesome (Especially for a different headline font vs the body copy).

Also, a search for the big list of fonts would be handy too.

Off to a great start though, thanks for sharing!
Somewhat off topic, but the articles inconsistent and occasional use of "Mr Dylan" makes me think of Blanche Devereaux in The Golden Girls referring to "Mr William Shakespeare" and "Mr Burt Reynolds"
I concur with this. I ordered my original Ultra from Fit bit but purchased the Aria from Amazon. There was a negligible difference in price.
Thank you, father.
I think the upcoming Flex might work best for him. It has to be pretty hard to lose a wrist band.
I think we agree that the euphemism treadmill(ET) exists, and that (ET) means that our words constantly change meaning.

Your original post used it as a reason not to coin a new word:
>>>It doesn't matter what you call it - nothing is going to change the reality. You might as well use the first word that was coined for it and stop.

I am saying that the (ET) is precisely the reason to coin a new word. Otherwise, your audience will not understand what you are talking about.

If you speak a language your audience doesn't understand, your audience will not understand your language. This applies to all languages: french, english, perl, python, and the euphemism treadmill.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do, including speaking the languages they understand if you would like them to understand your speech.
It's nice that it's generating warnings now, but the best thing for the community would be to completely remove it. It'd be better to answer questions about "Why doesn't my code work?" than "How can I fix my (horribly insecure) app?" where they're not even concerned about the security issues.

PHP 5.5 will produce warnings when using mysql_query. It's a small step forward.
I'm leaping to the conclusion that this is so that their employees can wander around the neighborhood testing google glass without having to rely on spotty carrier 4g.

I now find those posts somewhat embarrassing. The vitriol was unnecessary and diluted my arguments. In fact, I no longer even link to those articles from my website.

Still, I don't think something I wrote several years ago in a completely different context should impact your opinion of Svbtle as a network.
Exactly, why is the principal of the school calling the girls mother? He should be cooperating with the DA in bringing a host of felonies against the boys; and then letting everyone know how a felony will affect their lives.
Imagine how much fun you'd have with something like Ruby or Python that isn't just a web-scritping language.
This is a good point and one I hadn't considered in my first post. The difference between now and then, being that now this stuff doesn't go away.

OTOH I think if there are any photos on the internet that will go away it's these, if for no other reason, because they're illegal.
I'm curious what the rationale of this is if one of the ideas behind this network is it's "exclusivity" and curation of authors.

Why be cautious of who you pick to be in your network yet not promote who you've picked to be in your network?
Yes. The ability to use them where I live is a major feature missing in most services.
There's no mention in these articles about the most important thing; what kind of GPU is in these if any? If they rely on the HD4000 included in an i3/i5 CPU then they're going to make for really shitty gaming consoles.

Multiple fonts and search for text is something I'd love myself. I just wanted to release the app quickly.

It will be added in the next version. Pinky promise!
Sure, but I think the results of the modern incarnation are much worse and perhaps, longer lasting.
Svbtle is probably one of the most misunderstood companies we've
funded. Partly because what they're doing is hard to
understand, and partly because Dustin has alienated a few people
along the way, who now in the usual way with haters want to
misunderstand what Svbtle is.

One of the reasons Svbtle is
hard to understand is that it's a work in progress. At its current
fairly fuzzy resolution, it's what I'd guess a traditional magazine
evolves into when it hits the Internet: a loose confederation of
lightly edited writers with their own individual reputations. Beyond
that few of the details are figured out. But costs are low and
traffic is growing steeply, so although in most cases I'd be nagging
founders to figure out more details, in this case I've advised
Dustin to let this grow and see what it turns into.

I encourage neutral observers to do the same: let's see what
this turns into. And as for the haters, it's fine with me if you
want to keep hating. Though this was not a deliberate strategy by
Dustin (he is actually confused and hurt by all the hate), being
controversial is actually a good thing for a publication.
In order to be a respected author and build a personality online, I think we'd all be much better off taking the time and care to build our own personal theme and identity.

Our blogs are our online identities. Using something like Svbtle take all the personality and brand recognition out of it.

For me, I designed my own blog around my personal tastes in minimalism, and the way I want to brand myself: http://kswizz.com.

This is a great article. More articles in similar tone are needed to highlight how simple this language is. A big disservice to Clojure was probably done by a few early adopters of Clojure who hyped up the LISP heritage of the language to the extent it turned away C/java guys like myself: I recall reading somewhere that in order to learn Clojure , one had to master SICP and Scheme. That was a huge learning curve I did not have time or inclination for. However, once I waded into Clojure, I was amazed by how simple the language is really and how productive I could get; Clojure REPL is awesome . I still haven't mastered the language, I haven't mastered macros, protocols etc. and I bet my code is ghastly and non-idiomatic but I have still managed to write Clojure code that does what it is supposed to do in a highly concurrent workload.
Density is a good proxy for cost in something like memory where the volume allows NRE to be amortized down to almost nothing.
I think in the full context of the quote this makes more sense. He is saying that now they have the resources to build something that could maybe be "the future of journalism", not that the current state is "the future".

In other words, what they build next could be "the future of journalism".

You laugh, but biologists who study squid often do like to eat them. I've heard that at least one species is only documented in one report that includes pictures, measurements, and a description of how it tasted.
I've just started using it but now that it has 1M users I'm a little apprehensive for the usual reasons: no easy way to export or access offline, and no idea of whether there are any monetization plans on the horizon. It could be another way to get lost in the cloud.
Going completely sugar free is a total pain in the ass, and IMHO, unnecessary. There's sugar in everything. Ketchup, bread, orange juice, etc.

A few years ago I lost over 100 lbs and it wasn't through any gimmick diet, it was from cutting down on the amount of food I ate and increasing the amount of activity.

Those are the keys. IMHO, you will be a lot more successful over the long term if you don't try to do some sort of gimmick. Just stick to the food you love, but reduce the amounts of it. And just as important, find some activities you enjoy that will help you increase your metabolism and build muscle tone.
