> Yet Reed says Jeff has "a reckless lack of knowledge about how depression really works". Why does Reed label Jeff as ignorant in both his knowledge of depression and Aaron's situation when Reed himself doesn't know Jeff's?

Not implying this is the situation here in the least, but I have met multiple people who - despite acknowledging that they, themselves, were at one point depressed and suicidal - still claim that suicide is a choice and a coward's way out and have no interest in helping those who are too weak to do so themselves. Again, this is not to belittle Jeff's own turmoil, but rather to illustrate that the severity of one's struggle is vastly different than another's, even when they have both had similar solutions to their problems at some point.

I thought the title of "ragequit" was inappropriate, as that's an insensitive joke regarding a very sad and serious act and in no way reflects on all of the aspects of what that person is/was going through.

"However the patent covered migration, so no matter what, migration was the solution. We wrote the framework around the patent..."

They realized early on that there was a better way to do things, but stayed the course because they had to make something that used the patent. I don't think the framework ever had a chance from the beginning.

This is the kind of stuff that makes commercial companies fearful of GPL software. It's not the disagreement that is the serious issue, but the fact that this legal document is completely unclear as to how it's supposed to work (and the LGPL is even more frighteningly uninterpretable).

I would be more interested in learning how you used CS6 on Wine!
A couple years ago, I used Node.js to build a tool that would run tests in iframes. It's similar to the OP's tool Thrill, but mine was a lot simpler. http://thrilljs.com

The problem we (the YUI project) ran into was test failures that would occur only within iframes. We found lots of iframe-only quirks that were useful to know about, but were also distracting since we wanted to make sure using YUI in a typical browser context works first. (I've talked to jQuery's TestSwarm maintainer and they've had similar problems with iframes.)

The tool we use, Yeti, was since rewritten to not require an iframe. http://yeti.cx

I continue to work on Yeti, and there's a lot of interesting things we have done (using multiple browser instances to speed up testing, launching browsers automatically, CI integration) and hope to do (code coverage, performance measurements). Help wanted!

It's neat to see this kind of thing become more popular, and I hope these projects can make testing easier for everyone.

Wow, that is beyond evil.
Slightly inaccurate article - I've been following the discussion to some extent, and it's not that ThemeForest developers/sellers are banned from attending WordCamps, it's that they're banned from presenting, volunteering, or sponsoring.

Basically it's a GPL dispute - ThemeForest themes are not fully GPL (they GPL the PHP, but not CSS, etc.), and the WordPress.org folks are against that.

I'm not going to get into whether they think that this stance is legally wrong or whether it's just that they don't want to offer a venue and what might be perceived by some as endorsement or official sanction, because I don't know and I'm not sure that everyone involved does either. I do think that (from what I've heard) the way the WordPress Foundation has approached it is a bit heavy-handed.

Tracking events in analytics systems
I used to work on conversion and revenue optimization. Basically manipulating users to take profitable actions (click ads, fill out forms, etc)

Almost every single designer I talked to thought the changes I made were "broken" or a "poor design job." As an example, bolding the title of the last form field to give users the impression that it was important would decrease abandonment rate. It looked ugly as hell, but worked.

The fundamental problem with monetization on a social platform is that it is near impossible to make an advertisement that is more compelling than your friends. You just can't compete with the emotional response of jealousy of your friends ski trip, or the desire from seeing your high school crush in swimwear. What Facebook has done here is broken that barrier and involved your friends in the advertisement. They need to create an assumed connection that Bob likes this article on CNN, so you'll go read it and find out why.

In my professional opinion, this is absolutely intentional. It's not a mistake, it is exactly what I would tell them to do if I was hired on to solve engagement problems with brands.
Oh, I had just assumed that you meant either Google's focus on academic credentials or their down-the-rabbit-hole programmer interviews by "testing for attribute Y", considering all of your other thinly-veiled "maaaan, google is so fucked up now" posts.

Perhaps the direction of improvement at this point is lifetime rather than energy density. 500 cycles was fine for portable electronics. Not so much for vehicles.

Have you considered partnering with a company that would play off the kind of irreverent content IRC carries? The company TshirtHell.com came to mind as (IIRC) they've fostered controversy in the past. You do something like every xth image on your site is the image from one of their Tees with a referral link to buy as the source. You could tweak x to find the right balance between annoying and profitable.
What you call the "WordPress ecosystem" is really the "GPL ecosystem." If license terms can be arbitrarily separated in derivative works, the argument becomes far more important for enforcement of those terms as a whole.

As many are fond of saying in the open-source world, if you don't like the license terms, you are free to make your own [software] under any license you like, provided your code is your own, or licensed under terms compatible with the license you choose.

Envato's stance enables them to enforce copyright terms, whereas a GPL license is, by nature, far more open and encourages reuse by others. It's my opinion that WordPress is in the right here (aside from the fact that it's their convention to do with what they please) regarding license enforcement, but I can certainly understand Envato's position.
Not even the worst of it. All the firefighter and police pension expenses are in the Finance Department.
Kind of neat, but strange as a recruitment device: It seems difficult enough to get good people, why would one put such an arbitrary filter as a first barrier? People who don't play computer games or Portal 2 are probably much less likely to apply that way.
How do you have a moral obligation to get licensed? Isn't the moral duty not to be an ass an interfere with others? What does being licensed have to do with anything?
Sure, of course :)

I am going to go against the grain here and say that what Steve Jobs is asking (e.g. stop direct recruitment of Apple employees) is not unreasonable.

> The capitalists wouldn't benefit unless we benefited.

That is why there are periodic crises of capitalism, such as the current crisis that first started in 2008. The capitalists are cutting wages so low to undercut their competitors that consumers aren't getting enough money in wages to buy those same products.

The point TFA makes is a non-lean (fat) company may be viable whereas the lean version of the same concept might not be. If nothing else it's thought-provoking. In my head I'm trying to decide if what he's doing is still lean -- one might argue that "fun marketing" is actually part of the MVP of his vision. I think an argument could be made that MVP can be different based on the team...

I don't think this is in any way a necessary step for applying there, which is good.

It's simply one more avenue of lead generation for recruitment. And a very creative one that's likely to get them quite a bit of exposure. It also has the benefit of clearly demonstrating that they are a "fun" company, not your run-of-the-mill boring enterprise product corporation.

> a doubling of watts per kg

Do you mean watts (power or rate of conversion) or watt hours (total energy stored)? I'm not positive but I believe you said it correctly, which is to say that the NiMh batteries don't store more energy than their NiCd predecessors. They can only discharge it faster (can push a higher wattage but still has the same total energy capacity).
Huh? Passwords aren't considered "security through obscurity".

Isn't this missing the entire point? The only purpose of the encryption is to give Mega a strong basis for being able to deny any knowledge of what the content stored on their servers represent.

It isn't like people are going to be using it to store trade secrets and diplomatic cables. The government isn't in the business of attacking a crypto system just to go after jor pirate consumer.

These keys are going to be leaked all the time - after all, it's for piracy so you need to give them out to your friends etc. The trick here is that the resultant takedown won't include any obligation to take down all the other copies of the same film, since they've all been keyed separately and aren't deduplicated.

Mega is an encrypted document service in the same way the pirate bay is a self publishing channel.

Ruben nailed it with this list. In my experience outsourcing is a continuum; it's not a never/always situation. Meaning you can increase your chance of success by having the factors Ruben mentioned above in place. I would also add that these factors make it easier to outsource your app:

1. Having dev skills

2. Building a mobile app or WP plugin (i.e., something simple) vs. a SaaS app (i.e. tons of moving parts and more ongoing maintenance)

3. Experience outsourcing in the past. It is absolutely a learned skill and the more you do it the better you get.

If you have none of the things Ruben and I have listed (so you're not a dev, you're building a SaaS or other complex app, it's your first time outsourcing, etc...) you have a very, very low chance of succeeding. And if you have every single one you're on the opposite end - IMO the swing could literally be from 10% chance to 90% chance of success depending on the factors you have in place.
If you scroll down the link, it's right there.

Did you actually read the article? It seems he solved that too.
I don't consider an undesirable product to be viable so I think "viable" still works.
I don't agree with this statement, but in any case, it should read "The WordPress foundation"... because the ecosystem is largely made by those same commercial developers.
I don't find this email exchange appalling at all. What's appalling is the naive idealistic reaction here, that reeks of blindness to how business is practiced at scale.

I've been involved in this sort of anti-poaching discussion at senior levels before. It happens all the time, in many industries - particularly in jurisdictions non-competes are enforceable. When an executive leaves one place and goes to another (say a CIO or VP), they bring people with them. Often in violation of non-solicitation and non-compete agreements, which are a pain in the ass for everyone to enforce. So you do what you can to Stop. The. Practice.

In the case of California, Jobs didnt have a direct legal avenue to stop this so he wanted to use other threats to stop a competitor. That seems normal. If it was not legal, then his lawyers did him no favors. Immoral? Not at all. It's business.

The reaction here reminds me of Slashdot circa 98, clucking over leaked Microsoft memos. The hacker/open source idealism here seems way stronger than that of entrepreneurs or business people. Makes sense I guess.

Perhaps people love early stage companies here because they can ignore the dirtier parts of business after you have a product/market fit... like, competition.

Competition is dirty and messy. It's not a kid gloves "lets out innovate each other!" like you're toddlers in a sandbox not allowed to hit each other. It's about marketing negatively (see Samsung's anti Apple ads), aggressive sales and pricing (see the Nexus 7 sold at cost), stopping poaching (Apple above), and removing supply lines by buying them up (Apple with displays and flash memory).

Sure, business isn't JUST those things. It also is innovation. Preferably lots of it. But people here are a rather naive if they think most companies aren't spending over 50% of their time on the former. Apple is actually unique for their size in how much time it spends innovating rather than, to paraphrase Ray Kroc, "sticking a live hose in your competitor's mouth".

Photoshop in a VM?

is that not a horribly laggy experience?

I have a Core2 Quad Q6600 based computer and when I have run Windows inside a VM it is too laggy to use as a serious desktop beyond using a few basic apps. Doing 1080p video is choppy too.

Is there something about newer CPUs such as i7 that makes virtualisation hugely faster and more responsive?
Absolutely - it is a pleasure to read. Someday I'd like to learn how another language is implemented, maybe JavaScript or something like Haskell, but I'm afraid the language source code will be much more difficult to understand than Ruby's is.

Heh, that blows away my AM morse code sender [1] using a PIC. One of the things I did in the PIC and it would probably work here is to mush the data into a sort of pre-encoded form (which is ready to be shipped out to the
transmitter) I expect you could do the same here by taking
the wave file, precomputing what the stereo deltas on the FM signal would be than then just using that file (maybe a foo.efm for encoded-FM) then just DMA the pre-processed file to the spectrum offset and voila, done.
