Touch-typist here: I don't hunt and peck and I can tell you that from a pure probabilistic standpoint if you're entering a typing contest with me you'll probably look like the one hunt and pecking ; )

It's not that it's hard to memorize: Emacs' 'p' for up and 'n' aren't hard to memorize. They're just utterly dumb. Just like 'jk'.

You're not sounding insulting: you're sounding like someone who has never put any thought into that issue arguing vs someone who did.

I'm an Emacs user and yet it's 'ijkl' for me (it's Emacs heresy of course).

Now I don't doubt that dance dance revolution players are representative of professional programmers... But lots of gamers (eg professional first-person shooter players) do use the inverted T arrow principle to quickly move up/down/right/left -- typically WASD and sometimes ESDF.

It simply makes more sense to "train your muscle memory" to something that also logically makes a lot of sense. You know, like... Up to go up. Down to go down. Left to go left. Right to go right.
Doesn't sound like he did anything to me. We all know damn well that this is crapware, and the only people who install it are confused or just clicking through.

Set the default to opt-out with no encouraging language and you'll see how much users really "want" it.
I think you're possibly overestimating the extent foreign media has proliferated throughout North Korea.

It's true that some families do have televisions; but they're only issued to the most trusted families as gifts from the State and are tuned to only government broadcasts which are heavily censored and controlled.

Regarding increased smuggling from China, you really cannot extrapolate widespread proliferation from the western press published regarding the crackdowns on the smuggling by the government.

Punishment for possessing smuggled devices is so draconian that most people privileged enough to live in Pyongyang (only ~10% of the population) wouldn't risk their lives or that of their families. Electricity is also tenuous in Pyongyang so I think it's reasonable to assume that the situation is orders of magnitude worse throughout the rest of the country where the government invests much less in infrastructure.

Seriously though, where are those stats coming from?
Congrats on getting this out there and getting on the front page :) I'm flattered you picked Jetstrap.
The inverted-T has never made any sense to me. It makes it easy to keep your fingers on left and right, but you can only easily have a single finger on either up or down.

The only time I use an inverted-T is when playing games that use wasd and it really doesn't make sense there, to the extent that when I used to be really into Q3A I started using asdf. (asdf, unlike hjlk, has unfortunately not stayed in my muscle memory.)

The importance of any sort of t-shape is only clear to me if the user cannot type.
The best work I've done is when I start in the morning and go for a break only to see it is now dark out.

Like life, balance is everything. If you want total privacy, better work from home but if you need physical presence/collaboration, regular cubicles in rooms/areas of 8-10 cubicles + a boardroom looks like a win-win to me.

I guess it depends on the kind of programming you're doing and the teams composition.
I seem to be much interruption-tolerant than all those articles imply.
On other hand, I'm lucky if I get any code to write at all, because it's mostly communication, planning, system support and debugging that consume time.
So svbtle without the quality control.

By the way allowing anyone to join will make the network unusable as the number of authors goes up, realistically making simvla just 'yet another' blog platform.

The blogs look nice though. The like button could use work, the thumbs up image doesn't fit with the rest of it.
I've run into this, to great frustration in nearly every aspect of life. There's little room for evidence in the face of countless religions.

For a singular example, my clients and colleagues are more likely to practice their own arcane rituals that they've gleaned from legends of SEO or UX sooth-sayers than to let me implement systems like split testing or - gods forbid - an actual user study. The truth is more difficult and less comfortable than their personal mythos. In the case that they do employ a "science" it's misapplied not unlike the pseudoscientific Witch test from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, making changes based on a single study with a tiny set of users and without even testing the proposed changes.
Why would you choose so large a block size for de-duplication? Your disk space savings decrease as block size increases. Choosing a more effective block size will increase the chance of collisions. And collisions are rather the desired goal of de-duplication.
So by that same reasoning, maybe the ISPs should all block access to this content, since it is via their service that the content is actually delivered?
yes I have checked, planning to use it also. But its always nice to ask the real users of the product. :)

As a Korean-American, I'd say that's accurate, but it would be more accurate without the phrase after the comma and without the negative in the part before the comma.

should nginx be only used for serving static files. Does it have any advantage when used to serve plain data API. I want to expose REST api (django + uwsgi) over web, but not sure if should use nginx for it.
Also, the tooltips on the timestamps make no sense. I'm not a fan of the "x hours ago" style of relative timestamp, and much prefer to just know the actual date and time an item was posted. Some sites, such as reddit, give you an absolute timestamp in a tooltip when you hover over a relative one, e.g. hovering over "2 hours ago" on a reddit comment produces a tooltip that says "Mon Jan 21 12:15:37 2013 UTC".

But hovering over "about 2 hours ago" on a Designer News post produces a tooltip that says "20 minutes ago". What's going on here?
I don't know if he was the first, but I assume you got this from Robert Graham's recently proposed corollary "Any sufficiently technical expert is indistinguishable from a witch" http://erratasec.blogspot.com/2013/01/i-conceal-my-identity-...
Some things that I could have done better would have been to learn some more basic fundamentals. The sort of (arguably pointless) stuff that they grill you at some interviews about.

That, and learning the jargon. After years of hacking away at my own things, there were a number of times where I was conversation with someone, and we were talking about something - patterns/concepts, and I can tell you everything I know about it. Except what it's called!

This is all the sort of stuff that you'll pick up in CS, should you opt for that. But personally, I think having the opportunity to go into another field and still being able to keep up your programming on the side, can be really rewarding. Having done that, I'm working alongside CS majors -- but in the back of my mind, on top of all that I do now, I have years of Master's level physics creeping around.

So, when you get to the age you start applying to schools, think twice before just jumping straight to CS if you already know your stuff.

Good luck!
Svbtle must be doing something right if people want to derive from the name and design (and then people want to use that derivative). :)
Subscription Models - Are they overrated?
I knew I should've gone with the monthly subscription.
Yikes, on an hour-adjusted basis you've shown us up brutally. We've put over 10,000 person-hours into http://Beeminder.com

But, especially now that we have RescueTime integration, I think our solution is better! Here's what RescueTime generously said about using Beeminder + RescueTime for this kind of thing: http://blog.rescuetime.com/2012/11/27/give-your-productivity...
This may be what the law says, but lets be honest: the DMCA has been used so many times when it is clearly not applicaple, yet nobody has ever been prosecuted for violating it.
These guys have gotten a lot of flack they don't deserve. A friend of mine builds and distributes what most people would consider "crapware" (toolbars, adware, etc.) and was flat out denied by IM when he tried to use them for distribution. Sure a bad apple or two might slip through, but according to my friend its rare to ever be denied by a distributor unless you're not willing to pay going rates.

It seems like they are working to clean up a dirty industry. Just like AdWords did to the PPC business.
But it's easier for a touch-typist to hit 'i' than 'h' (your middle finger doesn't stretch as much when hitting 'i' than your index when hitting 'h'). Try it.

Then in addition to that ijkl is more logical than hjkl.
I've lived and worked in Berlin and London. Originally from North America.

I'd recommend going to London if you want to be more career driven and if you want a higher quality of life, go to Berlin. London has a lot of people which can help you grow your career but also more competitive. Berlin is more chill.

The vast majority of people are not deliberately choosing to install the software. They are "accepting" it by accident, by pressing the wrong button or because they are rushing through the installation and are not paying attention.

No consumer wants this stuff. The advertiser's software is a nuisance and gives no advantages to the end-user.

Contracting fingers to slide between up and down keys is a lot easier than sliding them sideways.

- Change your password to something random, store it in 1Password

- Don't remember password in your web browser

- Log out, only login if you really need to

- Delete mobile app. Being bored on the bus is a great excuse to check Facebook. Also, you won't have to face their idiotic ads

- Keep the Messenger app, enable push notifications. "I have to read my messages" won't be an excuse anymore, because you would have gotten a notification.

- Email people at their.name@facebook.com. You will get the response back in your inbox. (If you're using Mountain Lion, you can set up contacts sync and have Facebook emails of your friends in your Contacts.)

- If you need IM, use Jabber protocol. Log in with your.name@chat.facebook.com

- If you're a member of some important groups, create an account with no friends with only purpose to be member of those groups

I have this acquaintance that only uses Facebook for messaging. She never posts anything, never comments, she is just somehow resilient to its charm. I admire her endlessly for that, and I wish I had never succumbed to that notifications icon.

Good luck.
Thanks! Jetstrap was really core to this. We just dragged and dropped a few things, and boom we have a decent looking website. The only HTML I did touch on this website was when adding handlebars to do the dynamic stuff. Jetstrap just made everything so easy.
Where do you work and what are you hiring for?
Just because you or I might find something to be a nuisance, doesn't mean most end-users will. Done right, I can easily see unsophisticated end-users being appreciative at being offered useful software that they would otherwise have not known about. I see this crap on my mom's computer all the time - she's bothered by it only if it affects performance or pops up with some message. If it's just sitting there, or if she actually uses it, she couldn't care less how it got there.
They are lawyers. To them, unlike normal empathetic humans, admitting guilt is not seen as a nice gesture and part of making amends, but rather just something you do if you are foolish.
Well, I knew I was going to take rounds.

POINTING OUT THAT PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY IS AN IMPORTANT HABIT OR VIRTUE IS NOT, IN ANY IMAGINABLE WAY, AND EXPRESSION OF APPROVAL FOR SOMEONE BECOMING A VICTIM.

THE TWO ARE SEPARABLE.

In most parts of the world, if I walk into certain neighborhoods while wearing a sign that openly insults a large segment of the ethnic population in that neighborhood it is highly likely that I will suffer serious harm or even be killed. Such an attack on my person is and will always be a despicable crime.

However, I had a choice to make and it was my action that provoked the attack. And, while I would not, for even a second, excuse or justify the attack on my person, in retrospect an intelligent person can only conclude that the decision was the catalyst and it was an absolutely moronic decision at that.

Now, you and other can go on believing that you are free to act as you wish, do and say as you want and that there should be no consequences to your actions. And that's fine. Go ahead and do it. Let's see how long you last. What I am talking about here isn't some kind of a higher moral ground. This is about the real world. Reality. And reality works like this: You do something stupid and you pay the consequences. Plain, simple, cruel and very fucking real.

The new way of thinking seems to be that you ought to be able to be a complete moron and not suffer any consequences for your actions. Nice thought. Not reality.

AGAIN: NONE OF THIS IS TO SAY THAT A CRIME COMMITTED AGAINST SOMEONE MAKING A DUMB MOVE IS EXCUSABLE. IT IS NOT. BUT IT IS OK TO LOOK AT THAT PERSON AND SAY: "YOU MORON. WHAT DID YOU EXPECT WOULD HAPPEN?"

Yes, I am yelling at you. Snap out of it. Reality, in most parts of the world, is as I have painted it.

So if you have a little girl: Would you tell your little girl to go ahead and allow nude pictures of herself to be taken? And then, would you say: "Don't worry, they are not going to be published all over the internet no matter what".

I agree. I'd like to see a title. There ought to be a way for users to know if they know about the movie already. Or if they've gone through the queue and want to go back to re-watch a specific trailer, there should be some sort of identifying marker to come back to.

When I find myself using arrows, usually I realise that I got lazy and used tuples because my data model wasn’t good enough. Good code flows from good data.

But really, you should use the “tricks” when they make your code more expressive, not just because they’re cool. It’s the same in any language.
I'm sure that, just like me, he did consider that possibility.

And he did realize that it's easier, from the home position of a touch-typist, to hit 'i' than it is to stretch your index finger and hit 'h'. Just ing try it and you'll see.

In addition to that, it's also more logical to have the inverted 'T' arrow.

Have you considered the possibility that you find what you're using a "significant advantage" simply because it is the same as what an old arcane keyboard did use back in the days?
Unfortunately, OCaml doesn't have enforced purity outside the IO monad. This removes one of the main benefits of Haskell, which is to force people who are terrible at functional programming to actually write code in a functional style.

They're working on something new, and all the office hours I had with them were about that. They're not even in our database of companies as InstallMonetizer but as the new thing. (I'm not sure if I can say the name because it may not be launched yet.) I knew they had some previous product that was called a Windows installer, but I don't think we ever talked about what it did.

The whole world of Windows software seems pretty grim, and when people get something for free or cheap they're often willing to click through a bunch of buttons to get it, but as far as I can tell IM isn't actually misleading anyone. E.g. as far as I can tell it's no worse than all the upsells people have to click through to register domains on GoDaddy.
Ah, so I guess it has been proven that Aaron committed suicide because of the prosecution.

He didn't commit suicide because he was, you know, chronically depressed for years. Obviously, people who are chronically depressed for years but are in great life circumstances never kill themselves(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Foster_Wallace)

As far as I understand you can buy an used chinese TV set or DVD player. It's legal. It costs thru the nose, but if the family has means of income (the most common way is small business/trading on the market) it can be done. People are also very social so they manage to catch a glimpse.

The punishment may be draconian but I guess you can reliably evade it by the means of a small bribe.

Pyongyang is kind of special but also nothern regions usually have some niceties due to their proximity to Chinese border (and therefore trade/smuggled goods).

I'm basically parrotting a blogger that writes a lot about both Koreas so I might be not entirely accurate. http://tttkkk.lj.ru/
Just a quick point. He quotes me:

You can't make a computer do stuff faster,
but you can make it do less work.

That's not original to me, but I don't have (and haven't been able to find) a good, definitive, original source.
That's one of the hard things about advertising-- beyond an informative product announcement, most other advertising ranges from useless to annoying to the consumer. I know that I spend a certain amount of almost unconscious mental energy ignoring advertising, and any time I do research I have to sieve the results to filter out biased advertising-driven material. (It's particularly bad in health-related stuff.)
ISP's have a special status as common carriers. Not everything reduces to the ISP scenario. It's just how the owners of a private toll road don't have any responsibility if drugs are shipped over them, but the owners of a shop where drugs are being sold out of do.

I'm not saying that you should be able to hold hosting providers liable for content they aren't aware of. I'm saying that hosting providers have a right to control the content that they host, and at the same time if they know about illegal content they have an obligation to address the problem.
I haven't seen anybody rush to the defense of those behind the site; I have seen plenty point out that godaddy, while generally despicable, is not guilty on this particular matter.

And I have to agree with them on this -- exactly as much as I agree that the real people behind this are guilty and should be punished.
I think the people downvoting you are reacting to your rhetoric more than to the content of what you're saying. Basically, you're right that it's not just her, but I think you're wrong to say that she isn't worth singling out. Regardless of convention, she chose to not defy it. She chose to not change it.

The system definitely needs to change. But we, the people, are part of the system and can exert political pressure on other systems to change. Sometimes you need a person to be an icon of what is wrong, and work change through her. This is far more powerful than any act of violence. (And indeed, gross abuse of power is getting worse, but it is also not widespread. So while there are thousands of Americans who have won the "your life is now ruined whatever you do!" lottery held by the government, it's still only thousands. When more than 1% of the population wins this lottery (4M or so), then I think physical violence should be considered. But not before.
How about solar charging low power devices with e-ink screens? (Also have an option of running on batteries?) Maybe have them capable of receive-only from a satellite and a radio that only turns on once a day to save juice. These could support a number of feed channels.

Radios are still way cheaper.
>I read that 90% of law suits end in plea bargaining

Then you don't understand what a plea bargain is. Plea bargains are used only in criminal cases. You may have heard that 90% of lawsuits are settled before they go to court but that has nothing to do with what a plea bargain is.

>Trumping up accusations in order to scare the defendant is a negotiation tactic that comes in package with it.

No, trumping up accusations is grandstanding. It is neither necessary nor wise if you have a plea bargain system in place. Yes, you can tell the defendant what the possible maximum sentence is, but that doesn't mean you have to grandstand and press conference the result for the rest of the world's consumption.

>They can charge an innocent and he would have to spend all he has to prove he is not guilty. How can we stop that?

Talk to Kevin Mitnick and Bernie S about this...

>If only we could get rid of mandatory minimums and put common sense back in the driving chair, it would be much better.

This I agree with. The entire purpose of having a judge involved in sentencing was to make sure that each case was judged on its own merits. Mandatory minimums castrate the judicial system and give too much control to a legislature that is largely bought and paid for by the military/prison/school/election/industrial complex.
Chronically depressed people commit suicide frequently. I'd be interested in hearing your evidence that Aaron killed himself because of his prosecution, besides from the mere coincidence of the two events.
It looks good. It feels like a home theater. Great job emulating the theater experience.
Cancer is kind of associated with long life span in general, even without external radiation flux, but there are other ways that radiation can be harmful. A given amount of radiation received is more likely to damage cells that quickly divide (especially gametes) and cells that have little or no provision for repair.

So at relatively high levels of radiation you could well see that individual organisms tend to do well enough but have children with more birth defects, are more frail, have their vision deteriorate faster, etc.

I'm not sure that the radiation levels even in the Chernobyl exclusion zone are high enough for that, necessarily, but there's unfortunately a pretty wide gulf between "no effect" and developing cancer.
