What's all the drama about? So what some famous people criticized your code. Get over it. They may disagree with it for whatever reason ultimately it's you who has to find the tool useful.
Please don't whine about it just take it with a grain of salt they could be a million reasons they would say that.
Yeah. I can probably see that point of view, but I do disagree with quite a lot of the details--I believe a market works great in certain specific and relatively small scale circumstances, especially since it's a relatively effort-free system to set up, outside of those domains, the modus of "the market" seems to starts diverging more and more wildly from what I consider "good", or "to the benefit of those whose lives it affects"--but that becomes a philosophical discussion that might be a bit OT here.

We can totally agree that academia's approach is similarly imperfect.

> They will even be rewarded again if they did something the market needed but didn't know it wanted.

Here you are conflating again "what the market needs/wants" with "good"

> In any case, you are not spending the public money, and you are redeemable (you can be fired or run out of your own money) which discourages waste.

That's not entirely fair reasoning. Just because what you describe here is the way a market discourages waste, doesn't mean that a different system like academia doesn't have its own ways in place to discourage waste. Which it does. And both systems have their fair share of examples where these methods fail spectacularly.
In 1996, I was using RDB on VAX. The SQL book I was using to help me was a book about SQL92 (not at all about RDB) bought in a small non technical library. Almost all the examples were working perfectly on RDB (and on Microsoft Access). A few years latter, when I had to use Oracle, I was very disappointed to see all the silly differences in syntax.
i've downvoted you while i wanted to upvote you.. wtf.. i agree with you
Isn't the biggest problem that it gives one engine too much power over the web? Like IE in the first browser wars, it could start ignoring the web standards and implementing its own features, which are badly thought out and harmful for the web. For example, with a WebKit monopoly, suppose the WebKit authors introduce `window.badlyThoughtOutFeature()`. It's instantly a de-facto standard, and all future browser makers are obliged to support it for backwards compatibility. With multiple engines, nobody has too much power and can get away with things like that.
This is awesome, thanks :-)

We use KeyShot at work and its an amazing package, its the industry standard now for rendering product design CAD. The demo video showing the Caustic card running is about equivalent to KeyShot running on a $3000 PC. They have a way to go until they convince me that they have anything better than what KeyShot is capable of.
You're missing one important factor - many people, me included, just like to drive cars and they don't treat them as "transport vehicle only". I would refuse to use a driverless car even if it would be more economic, more safe and would transport me faster.

I think that Ubisoft is a death sentence for any creative studio, and obsidian is that. I thought with the 2004-5-6 Prince of Persia trilogy and Beyond good and Evil that Ubisoft has finally found out how to make great games that are also creative.

But from all of their recent years - they ran Heroes into the ground, from the fabled AC franchise only the ACII is really good, and whatever they ship they manage to make unplayable with the uplay crap.
What personal attack? I don't read anything as condescending either.

I do, however, find the OP slightly condescending. His main concern seems to be responding to a comment about misogyny (as if that's the meat of the discussion) and otherwise saying "Oh, it's so hard to communicate in 140 chars - you should cut me a break." [1]

The OP passed judgement on some code he found on the internet and decided to publicly ridicule it. Sure, that's his call. Just as it is for everyone else who wants to explain that's it's wrong. It won't be the last time this happens on the internet.

[1] That's 73 chars in case anyone's counting.
Apps already link against specific library versions.

With a package manager that allows multiple installed versions, app could link against library major versions and receive minor version (security) updates automatically.

But all this would still require everything is managed by the package manager.

As far as I can tell this is just a link to a discussion page. Why not have the discussion on HN?

This is the second LurnQ link I've seen on HN in a few days. I'm not quite sure what LurnQ is. It claims to be an educational tool but the things I've seen it's just a cross between StackExchange and a blog. And their facebook and twitter pages appear to have nothing to do with the product or anything educational.
Spot on. Everytime I have to debug dbus, udev, acpid or anything horrid like that, it throws me one step back towards freebsd.

They just aren't part of the Unix philosophy. NT perhaps.
The OP's argument seemed sort of sensible to me until I read this. Ideas need to compete. If it's not Gecko vs Webkit, it'll be Webkit vs other branch of Webkit. Monoculture will only last until "Why don't you accept my pull request, when this is obviously a better way of doing it? Because it's not better. Go fork yourself."
I'm @hitechnomad on twitter. I'll tweet once it's on github. The system I'm open sourcing is my own system for trading on my Interactive Brokers account.

Well he's actually right. Honesty or loyalty - I'll pick the former over the latter any day.
The so-called standard unix tools are just historical artefacts, there's nothing particularly special about them other than they were the first. sed is an arcane language which in my personal opinion is not worth learning (maybe it was for you), and for all but the most trivial tasks it's probably a better idea to use a proper language like Python. After all, the whole reason for Perl's existence was that sed/awk/sh were lacking.
Which is a bit moot because, going by the trend, it's not until ~ the year 2220 that batteries will equal petrol for energy density by weight.
Add another 30 minutes or so for learning how to write a shell script. I mean how to pass variables into a shell script and stuff like that. Actually no idea if 30 minutes are sufficient for learning how to write shell scripts (it can get pretty confusing with environment variables that are suddenly not available and what not).
You know the Gmail extension that delay your mail, or the one that ask you at 2am if you really want to send that (drunk) text ? They should implement that in Twitter.

Thanks! Looks pretty good.
It's not so much my issues with Toggl. I actually think it's a very good little app.

I've just found it very annoying working on multiple projects at once and constantly stopping and starting the timer due to distractions, phone calls from different clients etc. It's very easy to forget to stop or start it and then I have to go back and manually edit all the time which is guess work anyway.

Working on reducing distractions and allocating blocks of time better would probably help but I've gone back to just using a simple spreadsheet now and rounding up hours throughout the day. It just feels less pressured and it's something less to worry about.

None of which is necessary in better languages. I believe that was the parent's point.
>Too many people see their car as part of their identity.

I think that's because of the feeling you have when you drive a large machine yourself. If you are not behind the wheel anymore, will it still be the same feeling?

And yes, SOME will have this; there will exist a need for cars, I'm saying it will just be far less than it is now.

True enough. It's not the first time I hear about PCRE and Python, so maybe it's a common misconception.

Other than "re", there's "re2" and "regex". None are PCRE but "regex" is close enough most of the time.
Actually this is false. Firefox is loads better when it comes to memory. Chrome is slightly faster but not when Firefox has Noscript installed.

Yeah those kind of services are already very popular in, for instance, Amsterdam (Greenwheels.nl). I know a lot of people living/working there who just did away with their car and use one of the available short term cars all around the city.

Agreed. My current project is focused on mobile, so I do the development using Chrome and Safari.

That said, I do test it on Firefox periodically and when something breaks it's usually an easy fix.

I'm not even attempting to make it work on IE.
> None of which is necessary in better languages.

It isn't necessary in any language, but it sure is useful.

I don't know what you mean by better languages, but I program comfortably in variety of languages(Ruby, Python, C, C++, Java, Clojure, Lua, Racket, go, JS, perl...) and haven't found a single language in which context aware auto-complete, assisted re-factoring, looking up inline documentation etc isn't useful.

This argument applies to any brokerage, and is why brokerages are highly regulated and subject to extreme SEC scrutiny. Once Quantopian offers you a way to trade (either by becoming or partnering with a brokerage), they will certainly be subject to the same rules.

Incidentally, "cherry pick...the most successful" is not that easy. In a universe of many traders, a few will succeed solely by random chance.
Those people are arseholes, but sobbing? There's no sobbing in business (to paraphrase Tom Hanks).
Just to add my two cents :

- If you like switching context, consider finding a small company. You'll have to do way more stuff and get out of your comfort zone more often.

- I think it is normal to prefer side-projects than daily job. Simply because spending 60 hours a week on the same thing makes it less sexy (even though it can be really cool).

- If your collegues don't care about good practise, then put them up by yourself. Force things to change. You'll become more experienced and will develop new skills (mostly human related though).

- I never spend a day without thinking that I suck at my job. Use it as a strength, read books and code to get better.

This is 2013 : Change job if you think the grass is greener somewhere else ! Just keep good relations with your old collegues even though you didn't enjoy them :)

Web standards are like the metric system. Rendering engines are like measuring tools.
It's certainly an original and clever idea, but I don't think it makes the resume any more effective. In fact, I think being designed like an Amazon product page makes the resume less effective simply because most people have trained themselves to ignore much of what is displayed on an Amazon product page.
Seriously, you'd rather go shopping? Ouch.
Ouch. Reading that, they're not just making development less open - developers are now allowed to merge code that breaks the build on non-Apple platforms. Worse, in order to merge any changes to non-Apple platform support code, developers have to have their changes approved by "owners" within Apple who have no incentive to review code promptly and no knowledge of the platform in question.
What happens if the quote is fake or will be canceled by the time your order reaches the exchange -- a common tactic of Chicago firms like GETCO?)

I'm curious - which FIX command is used to send a fake quote? And which exchanges support this feature?

Also, how does GETCO cancel an order before your order reaches the exchange? I.e., how does GETCO know to send it the exact instant before you send yours?

Yes, Firefox is the new IE, literally. In the past years generally everything just works, i develop in Safari and then test in IE, Opera and Chrome. Usually no big quirks. And then comes Firefox, usually something is badly broken. Let's say i have added extra tags into DOM just for FF only, I have FF specific CSS hacks.
I remember having this issue when I wanted to move http://hackeryper.net but I don't remember how I fixed it, maybe talking to someone in support. this to me means it wasn't a painful experience, therefore fine for me. I like namecheap and I am not looking forward to change.
Yes. The 'ch' in Bach is difficult to pronounce. There is no English word that even contains this sound. My suggestion is to look for a YouTube/similar video of someone saying the word! :)

Maybe this could help. https://stanzebla.wordpress.com/2008/09/17/how-to-pronounce-...

>> When you say a “ck” or “k” you lift a part of your tongue up to your palatine and tongue and palatine get contact. Then the tongue goes down fast and clicks. You don’t do that with a “ch” in german. To pronounce a german “ch” the tongue must not get contact with the palatine. Instead, let your tongue lie behind your teeth, drag it a bit to the back and try to narrow the larynx, now exhale. That’s a german “ch”. It sounds like the wheezing of Darth Vader in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (the original trilogy).

As much as I like the new idea, I find it really hard to read. It's not that this page itself is bad - I have problems to find reasonable information on a typical Amazon page and his resume just reflects the same: lots of referals to other products and lots of noise. The typography is also very poor / hard to read unfortunately.

So - great idea... but I don't think it's going to be a success apart from creating a lot of social noise at the beginning.
I guess it is part of the idea that you can ignore that. The shell script is _good enough_ for 80% (I made this up) of use cases. Knuth's solution is probably faster and requires less resources but if I want to reverse the filter order or change something else You are way faster using the shell script. It's also probably not so difficult to look up how each of these tools work internally to make an informed guess on time and space complexity. This will come in handy if you use the tools next time. And unix tools aren't so slow. I wrote some C++ code using mmap() files to filter out some chars. It was only marginally faster than some pipe using tr.
The way things are is not necessarily the way things ought to be.

Installing Nginx With PHP5 (And PHP-FPM) And MySQL Support On Fedora 18
Odd, these days Firefox always uses much less memory than Chrome for me.
I beg to differ on your first argument. Learning Vim was one of the best decisions I've ever made in terms of how I write code. Other editors feel like toys in comparison.

I'm siding with mrb on this one. Learning flexible tools gives you immense power in comparison to low-learning-curve ones. The time invested is considerably smaller than the time spent figuring out how to solve edge cases with simple tools. This is something which appears to be impossible to communicate to people with words. Learn some of these tools and you will see for yourself.

By 'learn' I do not mean, for example, becoming familiar with hjkl for navigation in Vim. I mean mastering the tools to the point that using them requires no effort - where just as you experience the impulse "I want a glass of water" and without any effort go to fetch one, you experience the impulse "I want to create a new class in file X, navigate to file Y then modify method Z", your fingers start moving and suddenly you're done. I get frustrated watching my IDE using co-workers write code - it takes them a very long time to do very simple things. Their tools are narrow and do not facilitate expression - they constrain it.

Pre-emptive strike on the argument that code completion is better - Eclim (Eclipse with a Vim frontend) solves this problem very well. Nonetheless, I have it installed and configured but can barely find a use for it.

Isn't the biggest problem with resumes getting them noticed and making them stand out? If so, he's probably going to get way more eyeballs on this than your standard cv.
He's not paying "$100/month" for dynos. If he wants to avoid spin downs, he has to pay for a dyno. That's not hidden.

" But I believe the policy of spin downs should depend more on if and how much you are paying, rather than if you are paying for a specific element of their service, in this case a dyno."

You're seriously arguing that if you buy several items from a company, they're then obligated to give you a completely different item for free?
Not to mention that a little bit of adversity breeds resilience. If you're coddled from all criticisms, you deal less well with other stressors.

Done right, frank and forthright exchange of opinions is faster than couching things in friendly terms. Look at the way Torvalds, Jobs, and Gates worked - these guys happen to be the keystones of the 'big three'. It consumes a lot of time, couching a negative opinion in soft, cuddly terms to 'avoid offense', and having a bit of resilience can smooth over rough corners in communication.
To clarify - apologies to other people.

There's no such thing as accidental one-off snobbery.
