During my driving course they always told me to apply the brakes, if only very lightly, while downshifting. This way the brake lights are there to warn people behind you. I always do it (even on motorbikes with the rear brake). I thought it was pretty standard.
That's not how cars work ...
Kristian Kielhofner here - While I understand your analogy I don't think it's an accurate one. In fact, with the release of the successor to the 82574 Intel has already implemented some of the things I suggested:

http://communities.intel.com/community/wired/blog/2012/10/18...

Clearly they have learned from the various EEPROM issues on previous controllers (including the 82574) and implemented (among other things) EEPROM signing, which addresses some (most?) of my concerns about sane hardware behavior. Software drivers already do some basic EEPROM checks on this hardware (I know because I've had to tweak them); I'm simply suggesting these checks go a little further to verify the various EEPROM settings than could potentially result in a scenario like this one. When the effects are as significant as they are here I hope we can all agree: more sanity checking is a good thing.
2008 vs. 2013: Reverse-Engineering the Redesign of Kadavy.net
I think the "unclean/uncouth" bit for handling money came from e.g. Exodus 22:24 (25), which prohibits charging interest to "my people". So if you're Jewish and believe that you're the chosen people, you can charge interest to Christians. If you're Christians and think the Jewish rejected the messiah, then you can charge interest to Jews — except there aren't very many, so you won't be able to make a living.

Another part of the medieval stereotype I think came from Jewish cultural emphasis on literacy so good Jewish boys could read the Torah. As a side effect, it's hard to do e.g. banking if you can't read.
Right, I was assuming negligible clock drift between when each measurement was performed.
> Had frequent issues with their load balancer and most of the time when we told them there was a problem, they asked us to prove it.

Probably was just a request for logs or other such evidence showing what went wrong so that they could diagnose and fix the problem? Might have been a misunderstanding

> A few times we had extended outages due to "unscheduled maintenance"

Hardware isn't magic.

It sucks that you didn't have a good experience, but this is highly anecdotal.

Seems a bit funny since just last September they blogged their mobile version and "no app required."

One of the reasons I recall this is that I saved this particular e-mail newsletter at the time. I thought it of particular interest they dedicated resources on making a mobile browser performant version and had eschewed a mobile application approach. So what has changed or did they feel a deficiency in that version?

This was my first attempt at Data-visualisation using d3. I've done a few things with GoogleVis and R, the one is awesome for the web the other is awesome for its flexibility, D3 is awesome for both. I was also pretty much a novice to JS and CSS, I highly recommend AlignedLeft's tutorials http://alignedleft.com/ if like me you start from scratch with this.
>> As far as I can tell, your argument is "because people like it, it is okay." This is obviously wrong, so please explain your argument in more detail.

I would be much more interested in your arguments for concluding it is 'obviously wrong' to choose the kind of imagery that the majority of people apparently enjoys looking at. I'm really trying to follow your reasoning here, but aside from possible personal ethics and morality I can't really think of a good reason to draw this conclusion. Isn't the whole idea of a 'common culture' between a group of people to act and express themselves in ways the majority enjoys and/or deems acceptable?

You could always argue the merits of American/western culture in general, and I would agree there are many things I dislike about that, but the way women are treated isn't one of them.
I kind of liked the slight movement, but maybe it'd be more well recepted if it was a nicer picture to look at.

> In fact the ONLY company I can think of who has high quality customer care/support AND is actually growing is Amazon. But they also often happen to be the cheapest.

Not sure about the US, but when buying electronics Amazon is usually somewhere in the middle, price-wise. They are almost never really the cheapest and if so, this is usually due to a Amazon Marketplace seller, not Amazon themselves.
Radio Finland does put effort into coming up with Latin for all sorts of things never envisioned in the Roman days: depleted uranium projectiles, the internet, etc.

Why do some articles make the front page of HN, and other ones don't? Or the front page of Google News? How was it that Vine was getting so much attention for a few days, and then the buzz just...died? Did someone orchestrate that?
(as a side note, your argument does not make logical sense. Designing A does not make me an expert in B.)

I do not "insist" that he is a "dilettante", I question people on this thread quoting him as an expert on OO as there without showing that he is an expert on OO. Beside I give circumstantial evidence why he isn't ("Tried Java ...", "Threw C++ book at the wall ..."). I think it's important to differentiate strong opinion from expert.

And there are more indications: His understanding of "isolation" in the quoted text above is very influenced by him being the Erlang creator and the way Erlang thinks of isolation (processes). None of the (C++/Java/Ruby) OO programmers I know would use "isolation" in an OO context that sense (one error crashing other programs in the same VM).

Seriously? It's very cost of living dependent. I'm not a greedy or ambitious person; money is merely a way to make people leave me alone so I can do stuff I enjoy. If I can get paid to do stuff I enjoy, so much the better. I need enough to pay for a house, utilities, groceries, etc, plus some to pay for toys/vacations and invest in retirement.

I don't know what the Bay area (or other metropolae) are like cost-wise, but judging from replies to your comment, my current wage requirements are well below theirs, but only because where I live is dirt-cheap (comparatively). Unfortunately, most offers I have received have also wanted me to relocate, and I flat out don't want to, especially while taking a virtual pay cut. Even doubling my current salary, as one recruiter offered, would only barely keep my same standard of living in New York.

All that aside, I don't consider myself a "rockstar ninja ubercoder". I don't think I even crack the top 25%; I might be in the top 40-45%. I could also be wrong. And much as I love writing software, I also like my other hobbies too much to work on software more than about 50 hours a week. Of course, I've always been of the opinion that it's not the hours that matter, but the value produced, and I'm always looking for ways to do things faster and with less effort.

If "being proactive about security" was the only thing necessary then we'd all be using Internet Explorer still (a product which was pilloried over and over due to its sheer number of critical security vulnerabilities).

It's appropriate you bring up OpenBSD. Not only are they open with their security vulnerabilities as they're discovered, but they make security a core engineering goal (which is the part that people have been saying is missing from Rails).

No one is saying Rails shouldn't disclose security issues as they become informed about them. They're saying that there shouldn't be so many in the first place.

However one might argue that those who care about security might at least suspect that a rapid development system so dependent on convention would have issues like these and so it's not really fair to pin all this entirely on the Rails devs. Just as you wouldn't use a C library filled with gets() for security-sensitive code, no one forced anyone to install Rails.

Edit: And more to the point for Rails, it certainly seems to have delivered on the promise of rapid application development, ease of modification, etc. It's miles and miles better than using old CGI.pm with Perl (though there are other options now). Given that many simply would not have a neat-o Web 2.0 site (with many other built-in security protections) if they had used something else, it's hard to be too cross at the Rails devs... they may have burnt the pepperoni but at least they made you a pizza.

He's the author of LoseThos (64 bit OS, written from scratch), and has schizophrenia. His story is very interesting, if you can get past the wall of computer-generated religious content.
I have used Julia, R, and Numpy/Python, the latter two extensively (10,000s of lines, if you count all the scratch work). What turned me off from Julia is that it encourages looping instead of vectorization; looping is both more verbose and farther away from the way a mathematician would articulate a problem. R is ... well, really really ugly in that 1970s way that makes me want to choke whenever I read SAS. Pylab etc is nice, but (1) I have come to detest syntactical indentation, (2) I hate zero indexing almost as badly, and (3) it can be a bit brittle in its type hierarchy -- and it is still more verbose (slightly).

So, I am back to Old Faithful. Really, I hate all languages, I just find Octave the least annoying in the mathematical programming space. (I used to love all languages, now I am old and bitter ;) )

Don't get me wrong -- lots of great ideas in all of the above languages. If Julia were to make vector / matrix thinking natural, I would switch.
Well as someone from an engineering background I'd never recommend skipping rev matching (though I'm lazy and the car does it for me on my automatic).
I know some people who speak latin, including in the US. They may not be fluent but people still study it. It also helps if you're a linguist interested in romance languages.

It'd be cool if one of these spammy hosting comparison sites actually did some work to do things like monitor downtime, support ticket response times, and so on and so forth.

Good support counts for a lot, especially when the shit hits the fan, but resources/dollar count too, and it'd be nice to know exactly what kind of tradeoffs you're making, or if a hosting provider is simply below the curve.

That kind of snarky & sarcastic comment is misdirected though, because the residents of the Vatican need to be able to buy stuff just like the rest of us do, it's hardly a signifier of unwarranted wealth. Nor are all Cardinals wealthy.

Even Protestant denominations without a central church authority to accumulate vast sums of money insist on paying their priests/pastors a high enough wage to allow them to live comfortably but not richly.

There are plenty of opportunities to legitimately criticise the Catholic Church for its numerous problems, so why derail an interesting thread about a worthwhile topic?
I think part of the problem is that there is no clear "right tool for the job" for many jobs. There are many that will work just fine. Every author and podcaster who wants to project a veneer of pragmatism will sprinkle "the right tool for the job" truisms and call it good, but IMO that's just a hand-wavy placeholder for whatever they happen to be into at the moment. Which is fine, but to me it somewhat disingenuously dismisses the fact that it's still largely a subjective choice in many situations.

Meh, you'd use fold, map or filter 99% of the time in a functional language like scala or haskell. TCO is great, but you can still write a lot of idiomatic functional stuff even without it.
Native views and web views are good at different things.

Native is good for high fidelity interaction, animations, responding to gestures. However the native APIs are bad for designing "documents" -- that is, layouts where elements flow within a container and push each other around. That means that things that are extremely easy on the web can be painstaking in native UI without much upside.

Web views have limited interactivity, but they have other advantages:

* Faster iterations. You don't need to push a build when a webview changes.

* Document-style layout, as mentioned above.

* Higher density. We found it easier to show more information on the screen with HTML/CSS than the native controls. Looking at other apps out there makes me think it's an attribute of the medium, not just us.

* No need to sync data or duplicate logic. Sending HTML down the pipe is simple.

Finally yes, we get the multi-platform advantages because the web views are also served to people who hit the regular mobile web version of the app without any wrapper.
Yeah, to me this comes across as blatant and poor PR spin, and the attack had nothing to do with not running their own product.
I'd be curious about this topic, not because I'm pro or against this approach. I've worked on both sides of the spectrum (web app wrappers, full native and lately a hybrid, which is more complex than Basecamp) and it seems like a fine balance needs to be reached. You're "fortunate" that you keep the UI pretty slick and simple. And I say "fortunate", because I know this is actually a choice.
Part of the benefits of being hybrid is that yes you can iterate slightly faster, at least if you're coming from a strong web background. Also moving to webviews allows you to bypass some of the issues with submitting/changing content to the App Store which involves on average about a week's wait to get changes out.
Funny how I agree with lots of what you say but the conclusion is wrong. Yes, there are lots of ways in which men are discriminated against. No, it is still not okay to show pictures of women in underwear at conferences. Yes, showing such pictures makes you a sexist pig.

The reason I said "alternate reality" was because the quote about "six figures" was a complete fabrication, based on something a man actually said to a woman, but altered to play on typical male insecurities.

If your point is, "Gosh, men have it hard, too." Sure, I'll agree. But, you're laying on the hyperbole a bit thick.
Interesting. I find with small utilities that I download, Octave runs matlab fine. With bigger things (optimization packages in my case) you do hit incompatibilities. I guess I don't use the latter that much.
I must have missed something in my reading of the article - what is the relevance of "Condoms for Onions" to the essay?
It goes without saying, but good design does not equal good UX. A problem I have with places like Awwwards is that the sites they highlight look good from the screenshot, but navigating them and getting to the core intent isn't as easy as it should be. Most of these 'design inspiration' sites are really just people picking submissions from agencies and freelancers, rather than aggregating an honestly good list of sites that do their job.

Your best bet is to go through these types of sites and familiarize yourself with patterns that make it easy for you to understand what is going on. In addition to the siteinspire link posted by athesyn, I visit these every day (in order of how original the content is):

http://www.siiimple.com/
http://www.designfridge.co.uk/
http://www.colorgorize.com/
http://www.verynicesites.com/
http://www.webcreme.com/
http://bm.straightline.jp/
http://cssremix.com/
http://www.webdesign-inspiration.com/
http://land-book.com/

You'll see a lot of overlap, but again, that doesn't necessarily mean the site is well-designed. It generally just means that that designer was savvy enough to push the link out to all of these sites and it was passable enough to put on display.
Looking back I think any replacement product needs to be 100% compatible and after x months clients are forced over.

I actually think this is a ploy to get their users to convert. 37signals has a strong "we let our users outgrow us" stance, so what I read between the lines is that 37signals sees no hassle continuing to support the old system (it's massively profitable). Dually it gives a better justification for an up-sell to get people on to the new system.

I think this strategy is brilliant.
Thank goodness for new people. Without them, old gets old.
This is silly. You're creating a new anonymous function on every interval, so it will increasingly take up memory to hold these anon functions until the GC kicks in. It's doing exactly what it should do, because you don't want it doing GC every 50 ms.
What surprises me is that many people see Microsoft's Flat/Metro/whatever design aesthetic as something of a recent development. Just look at UI of essentially anything from Microsoft around the turn of the century (Encarta, Office XP, what was called .NET UI then and so on, and importantly: Pocket PC). One would say that it is return to old roots after short detour into land of gradients and semi-realistic textures.

I think it's funny how they can go from barring any information "offensive, abusive, inappropriate, malicious, or detrimental, including, but not limited to, those that: Are obscene, fraudulent, or discriminatory, including any containing profanity, or obscenities" to specifically permitting "adult websites that abide by state and federal law and regulation."

Universal morality doesn't exist, so whether you like it or not, what most people deem acceptable is usually the closest thing we have to judge morality.
Although I am agree with this, however soo many developer are abusing this to the point where I think it is ridicilous. Soo many app now give you push notification when the app has not been used for a while and I think that's just as bad as spamming.
I'd love to take credit for a brilliant strategy, but this isn't one of them. The story is very simple. We released an iPhone app for the all new version of Basecamp. Nothing more, nothing less.

I have a plurality of systems with Intel motherboards which demonstrate the same kind of problems. The motherboards in question have two Intel ethernet controllers, one of which is an 82574L.

The systems connect to two different networks. When the systems attach to one of the networks (but not the other) using the 82574L interface (but not the other), that interface dies after some unpredictable amount of time.

I have tried posting comments to the Intel engineer's blog post (and PM-ing the engineer directly), but they do not appear. In fact, there seem to be no comments at Intel's site, despite the post having nearly 6000 views (at my time of writing).

Something is not right here.
