Yes probably 25 is the perfect age -- and even then some (unprofessional) professionals will still consider you too young to seriously talk to. But the most amazing fact is this: these kind of people who do this discrimination probably also discriminate against people who are older than themselves. And one day chances are they will be discrimininated against for that.

This definitely must change, everywhere.
They don't; it's purely a matter of convention that Python style guides prefer under_scored over camelCased. But you are entirely free to implement all of your python functions and variables and whatnot in camelCase, and in fact, many libraries do.

We're currently using 1Password with the database on Dropbox. Which is extra convenient since it allows read-only access via Dropbox without needing the client.

The company used KeePass before, but that created a single point of failure for access and maintenance.

However, if I had to choose now I might go with LastPass (which I use privately), although I'm still somewhat uneasy about depending on an online service.

Most people underestimate the cost of handling FFmpeg and all it's particularities and the complexities inherent to each video format. Especially if you support "any" format on the input you quickly end up spending a lot of time dealing with heuristics (which evolve with each FFmpeg release). Development and learning time might be a bigger cost than the potential savings.

The target format is also really important. WebM is around twice as slow to encode than h264 for the same resolution. And HD doubles the encoding time as well.

Now if you look at the Spot instance market, you can have a c1.xlarge for $0.07 / hour. Given that you can encode ~6 h264 SD videos in near real-time on that instance, it would cost you ~0.0002 / minute of video (if you don't need other infrastructure services). This is the bottom-line.
For me it's the flexibility of window splits. In Vim I use both vertical and horizontal splits constantly, sometimes having 6 open at a time to deal with, for example, a Rails model, controller and view along with a CSS and JavaScript file and associated tests. Sublime has some window splitting but compared to Vim (or Emacs) it is pretty weak. If that is ever changed I'd consider switching.
While I agree that vintage lacks some refinement, the source for the plugin is sitting in your sublime directory and is fairly easy to hack on. Things like the one-off cursors are fairly easy to fix. I'm not sure what you mean about switching files; I don't notice that particular problem. Do you have '"vintage_start_in_command_mode": true' set in your config?

As far as a vim-style editing plugin goes, vintage has by far been the best I've encountered. It's one of the few where it's fairly straightforward to add in the hacky things I've done to vim and still get a similar experience.

Can't see the article - site is down. So what I write here is based solely on the premise of the headline and existing comments on HN.

I work for a co-working space in London, which is like an open plan office taken to the extreme. Before that I worked in a variety of environments (I'm in my 30s), including public sector 'one-office-per-person' through to agency '3-people-per-desk' type situations, and working from home as a freelancer.

Criticisms about working space often come down to 'the garden on the other side of the fence would be easier to work in'. If you work from home, you miss having people to have coffee with at lunch. If you work in a crowded office, you miss having 2 hours of unbroken flow. So the best offices try to combine a bit of everything - quiet space, play space, etc.

Some people talk about the 'email-only' office like the Holy Grail of Offices. But it's not - it's cold, impersonal and unfriendly. It often results in unnecessary arguments resulting from people misinterpreting something. So a culture of "speak, don't write" is definitely a good thing, as long as there are some rules about when it's OK to talk to someone.

The problem is whether people respect the rules. We try to follow the headphone rule - if I'm wearing headphones, don't interrupt me unless the building is about to burn down. The corollary - if I'm not wearing headphones, feel free to walk up and talk to me.

So it's as much about culture as it is architecture, and that's something that often gets overlooked.

How aggressive is method inlining in JVM?
I am impressed but I'm also wondering why people try to avoid learning new stuff -- to potential downvoters, no rant intended. I am just surprised how many people try to circumvent JS: Rubyists with Coffee, Closurists with ClosureScript, etc. instead of just using JS directly. I don't believe the main motivation is JS' potential inferiority and that you could employ much better design pattern with languages compiling to JS. Neither, JS' syntax is bad or ugly. I assume that's it's the fear of learning something new, to be again a beginner. JS has its quirks but in general it's a very modern and beautiful language and offering more innovation than traditional scripting languages. And V8 is so blazingly fast that I sometimes think this feels more like C compiled code which would be just another reason rather to switch to JS in the backend.
You're basically arguing against digitization of media. The whole point of digital stuff is that we can make nearly-instantaneous, perfect replicas with negligent overhead. That's why we convert and encode stuff as strings of repeatable digits. Attempting to limit the number of copies of mass-produced, digitized media in circulation is not only silly but totally futile. They simply must accept that the old monetization model based on artificially controlled scarcity is no longer tenable. As Bruce Schneier says, trying to make digital bits not copyable is like trying to make water not wet. It's an inextricable property of the medium.

Your example of the app store is actually good, and shows a good monetization path that actually benefits from the inherent properties of the digital medium. You're right that some people still try to pirate 99 cent apps, but in my experience those people aren't part of the audience in the first place, because they don't have the 99 cents to spend, or they wouldn't be wasting hours and days to save themselves a few dollars. The time of anyone with a job is significantly more valuable than that. While there are always going to be a few penny wise and pound foolish irrational actors in the mix, you can't cripple your business based on that kind of rabid obsession. You have to let it go at some point.

It's time to give up the archaic, draconian copyright regime that demands total control of a PC before it allows it to display a movie and reasonably embrace our digitized future, including building monetization models that aren't "sue filesharers".

EDIT: I will say this, though: the thumbnail settings are so small, they could basically be text. The syntax settings are easier to make sense of, but I suggest just turning the remaining settings into text/buttons and instead use a placeholder example with the chosen settings.

The bank always wins. True in Las Vegas, true in New York.

[edit=elaboration]
I really wonder who buys bonds from a bank when all of this is true:

a) I can only make profit when the bank loses

b) The bank's analyst predicts that I willmake profit

There are only two possibilities:

1) The bank does not know how to earn money

2) The bank tries to screw you over

As Goldman Sachs has a pretty good track record at making money, 1) is bloody unlikely.
Starbucks and open-plan offices are worlds apart.

In a Starbucks, it's loud, but you can tune out the noise without social penalty. No one is going to look over your shoulder or interrupt you in a coffee shop. You can put on noise-canceling headphones and sit with your back to a wall. Only a small percentage of the evil of open-plan offices is noise-related.

It's the emotional load of being visible to people who can fuck with their livelihood for any reason or no reason that makes open-plan offices terrible. People become resentful, competitive, and miserable. Those environments are said to foster collaboration, but have the opposite effect, because most people shut down at a certain level of sensory and social overload, the result being that communication grinds to a halt.

Open-plan offices are said to be egalitarian, but in practice, they increase rank discrepancies and social inequalities, because they reflect an unconditional right of management to harass and monitor subordinates.

The other interesting thing is that there's a lot of evidence suggesting that almost everyone (over 90%) will develop work-related health problems in an open-plan office. The question is how long it will take. Median seems to be about 10-15 years, making open-plan offices a legal way to say, "We don't want to hire anyone over 40".

Hi Yongfook,

I think this is an excellent post on why startups should start exploring more B2B opportunities. However, do you think that since many startup founders are still relatively young with little working experience, they may not have experienced the state of enterprise software and the enterprise sales cycle?

Being based in Singapore too (let's meet up for kopi some day.. =) ), I feel that there is a lot of opportunity in exploring industries that are considered non-mainstream and traditional by B2C. For example, marine, logistics, healthcare, fashion, PR, construction, interior design, food & beverage..

Its unlikely to be ffmpeg. A high quality transcoder or encoder that is used for broadcasting doesn't use ffmpeg. Its all h/w based codecs with specialized software. Take a look at http://www.motorola.com/Video-Solutions/US-EN/Products-and-S....

FFMPEG is great for personal use but unlikely to be used in production systems.

1. Its not "enterprisy". By that mean there is company behind the codecs who can provide support 24x7 on quality issues, robustness, warrenties etc..
2. The ugly word - Patent covered. A lot of video technology has licensing and patenting. The moment sometime as big as Amazon tries to use a codec, the sharks will line up unless they have the right license.
The article is off on the magnitude of the fine - $550 million not billion. Still very large but not quite GDP of a nation size.

It's a bit much to label it a scam based on the evidence in the article itself. The target price of an exchange traded share is far more public and published compared to a complex financial instrument. If people bought millions of dollars of bonds based on nothing more than Goldman's analyst's stock target price then they are a fool.

I toured the Facebook offices in Menlo Park. It's all open plan, even Mark's desk. It's a big deal over there as they are converting the whole building to be open plan. If you want some privacy/uninterruption you can go to a few places around for it.
I pretty much concluded at the end of the article that offices should accomodate both collaborative open-planning and leave-me-to-concentrate cubicles.

You're right that shutting yourself away is impersonal, and I would certainly never want that.
First lessons learned about writing technical books
> Criticisms about working space often come down to 'the garden on the other side of the fence would be easier to work in'.

Yep.

There are 150 people on our floor, all open plan. The partitions are only 1m high. It's not a problem. Some people cope fine without even needing headphones. I probably wear headphones 50% of the time. It's relatively quiet but I've learnt to zone out of the background noises.

Likewise I've worked from home, worked in cramped "5 people to 2 desks" conditions, in vast cube farms in the US (with 8ft high cube walls) with 400 people per area. All have their pros and cons. Distractions come in all forms, IM software, street noise, email notifications, people having conversations right next to your desk, other 'phones ringing, etc.

You just learn to adapt to what you've got and cope with it.
Your scheme doesn't appear to provide any entropy at all (or at least hardly any). The only unknown part of is the To01n which if compromised causes the entire scheme to fail (assuming you accept Kerckhoffs's principle). If it's widely known in the company then it's an 'open secret'.

If the unknown part is not compromised then I have to crack 5 characters. Assuming, best case, this is taken from the entire printable ASCII set then there are 32 bits of entropy. That's very weak.

...the thing that actually needs to be shown is that some specific set of easy to write down test scores does a reasonable job as an approximation...

All we really need is to believe that it's a better approximation than the alternative, which is currently something along the lines of 0.5 x Principal's Opinion + 0.5 x Union Seniority (at best).
I recently posted https://password.ly here, and while it got a huge amount of hate for having users submit their passwords to my server, the actual concept is really useful. The command line client also never needs to send the password (unless you sync, and I'm trying to plan updates so that isn't required.)

Basically it uses bcrypt with the site name in the salt, so you get a completely unique password that can't be reversed for each site. Each employee will get access to our master password which can be changed on a semi-regular basis and then we keep a tab-completeable list of all seperate site names that were used.

Great post, it's just annoying to hear people ranting about JS over and over again. The most annoying fact is, most of these people don't know how to write anything useful in JS besides copy&pasting a few lines a jQuery code. (I have doubts whether it's possible with this knowledge to understand how modern webapps are working.)

In the recent time I've often read posts about people suggesting: learn language X to a reasonable proficiency before you criticize.
How about audio transcoding? At my music startup we're building a transcoding backend that will take in FLAC, AIFF, or WAV and spit out MP3, FLAC, AAC, ALAC, and OGG files for people to download, and I'd kill for a transcoding service with a robust API that can deliver those formts.
Do you have a citation for "there's a lot of evidence suggesting that almost everyone (over 90%) will develop work-related health problems"?

I mean, come on, over 90%? If the evidence was that clear then you would, for example, expect some worker-friendly country like France or Sweden to have banned or regulated open plan offices. As far as I know, they haven't.

I don't doubt open plan is unpleasant; nor that it can cause health problems; and I accept that the rise in health problems may be hard to measure because most companies moved to open plan. However, what you said about >90% health problems and 10-15 year worker lifetimes oversells and undermines what are otherwise very good points.
