It's easy to temporarily disable Gatekeeper, install what you want, and then turn it back on. In no way does it prevent you from running what you want on your own computer. The point is to put another wall against unintended installs (aka exploits), and corrupted/infected versions of known-good software.
That's so surprising I tried to find evidence of it online, but I couldn't. Partly because "index.php" is such a common thing that Google won't use it for a search term, which is ironic. Can you point to anything corroborating that?

I know folks are gonna jump on you for not using switch statements in your CuteX86 screenshot, but 300 lines of code! Yow!
This has nothing to do with over-representation. In our small company, we have several female employees, including programmers. We consider all applicants purely based on their merits, minus potential problems- fear of future litigation in this case.

The fact that we are afraid to post this on the company blog, etc is simply the evidence of the diversity circus, that will speeds up selling the competitive American industry to China.

In the USSR, Cuba and North Korea you could not publicly say many things, which made its economy less competitive.

Cloud is a hip word. Amazon's got a cloud. Google's got a cloud. Apple couldn't be left with just an iTools/.Mac/MobileMe now could they?

I think Apple's inability to run web services is going to really come to pass in the near future. Everything is moving towards that way and Apple is still left in the "just sync with iTunes" world.
The point is that, in tptacek's estimation, she provides no evidence for her assertions, relying on us, the audience, to trust in her purported experience and authority.

Another way to look at it is that she's committing an appeal to (her own) authority fallacy. Pointing out fallacies is not ad hominem.
Communication has evolved over time from hand/body gestures and noises to spoken language to reading/writing. The latter (literacy) is now a major form of communication and required in almost any job.

Coding is not a form of communication.
This is bad, I actually like iCloud, even the email client, calendar and address book. But I don't want them deleting emails like this... hm.

> With a two-year community college degree, air traffic controllers can make $113,547, radiation therapists $76,627, dental hygienists $70,408, nuclear medicine technologists $69,638, nuclear technicians $68,037, registered nurses $65,853, and fashion designers $63,170, CareerBuilder.com reported in January.

They're not claiming that people holding the same job make more money with less education. They're saying it's possible to make more money on less education by targeting some specific 2-year-degree jobs, especially as compared to some lesser-paying 4-year-degree jobs.

And either way since they're not making the claim that it happens 100% of the time, your anecdotal evidence isn't really all that relevant
There are a whole bunch of banned words. There used to be a whole slew of sites that indexed all of the things Microsoft wouldn't let you talk about. Here's an article about it in the Inquirer: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1041509/microsofts-...

I don't think this kind of dialog really helps. Jeff's post was, I thought, sincere and understandable. It's not really the same way I saw things, but I can see what he meant. It clearly wasn't intended to be disrespectful, and reading that in and then flaming about it publicly isn't helping anyone.

If Jeff was angry at Aaron for "taking the easy way out" (again: not my personal reaction, but one I think I can understand), he has the right to express that without being told he should "stick to the code". Dealing with "inconvenient" emotions is part of grief, and that process deserves respect too.

Basically: lighten up. This is really not an appropriate subject to pick a fight over.
I think you are getting confused between learning programming and learning technology and language. I will say start with one language and learn programming first. Once you learn programming than you should be able to code in any other language once you master the concepts. using javascript you mainly deal with web client side programming, where as when you say java app it deals with so many (desktop, server side etc). You can download microsoft visual express developer edition and start learning C#. Which will give you all aspects of development. leaning any open source is much harder even though you have tons of documentation available all over the web

I think what you're saying is a little misleading. The complaints weren't that we didn't want something like what Steam is now, it's that we didn't want something like what Steam was then. It was a small Valve-only HL/mod manager with a server finder and a friend list. It broke all the time, had major features that didn't work for years, and required you to be online because offline mode was one of those features. It was a broken pile of garbage that needed to be thrown away and completely re-built from the ground up.

The Steam you use today is to that version of Steam as IE10 is to IE3, approximately. It was lacking major features -- working chat, overlay, store, non-steam game support, offline mode, authentication that didn't fail 70% of the time forcing you to restart Steam then try to play your game again, etc.

It's useful and a value add these days, it was just a gigantic nightmare before.

But I'm still very disappointed that the best (only? I don't count Origin) tool like Steam is Steam. By that I mean that we're locked into what Valve wants to do, which is sell us limited licenses that are tied to Valve maintaining their service, significant amounts of DRM, and other anti-consumer policies like no refunds. Some of these are deal breakers that leave significant room for a competitor to eat all of Valve's lunch, so I suspect if Valve doesn't buck up and play nice with its customers that eventually someone will.
First, a white-tower point: if you look at the client and server as a whole, doing any kind of dynamic view generation on the server is a complete violation of MVC. You shouldn't tell the view how to view.

That said, server-side rendering is a product of historical inertia. Remember, client-side MVC is the way things were quite successfully done before the internets came along. However, browsers originally sucked at anything "client", so we developed languages and design patterns and libraries that slowly made the concept of a server-generated view tolerable, to the point where many sites (e.g. HN or Wikipedia) are actually better served by doing everything on the server. Now that javascript is powerful enough though (and we can cross-compile from languages better suited to complex application development), client-side MVC is unsurprisingly making a comeback.

As I see Google expand it's service offerings I find myself excited with the potential yet refraining from using any of these services for a very good reason:

As an entrepreneur you are always up against the very real probability of Google shutting down your account due to unknown violations. This topic has been discussed on HN before. I have seen it and experienced it first hand with clients. You account is auto-magically tagged and permanently suspended and you are screwed. Say goodbye to your docs, email, storage, adwords, adsense, plus and now logins.

I would really like to hear from someone at Google on the reasons why your company will not come out and offer:

(a) A solid guarantee of non-termination of services

(b) Real customer service

(c) A sensible mechanism through which honest users of your services can deal with TOS violations (and learn how to fix problems) without risking loosing it all.

There's more, but I'm busy. The point is that Google offers a lot of neat stuff but the risk is too great. It's like jumping off a plane with a parachute while someone retains control of a "deploy disable" mechanism. You don't know if you are going to crater yourself on the fifth, the hundredth or the nth jump. You just know that it could happen and you will never know why.
Think of the kind of person for whom deciding whether or not to cross the street is so mentally taxing that it's a net gain to not.

I don't care about your small company – in the broader world of technology, lack of gender diversity is a problem. And you chose not to hire someone because she cared passionately about addressing that problem.

That's fucked up, man.

> We consider all applicants purely based on their merits, minus potential problems- fear of future litigation in this case.

So you believe that if this person were terminated they would not be rational enough to know that it was about performance and not about gender.

And what would be the source of the presumption of such irrationality, I do wonder. Maybe you can fill us in!

> This will not earn you credit here: this is a hackers forum, not a government tribune.

Making sure I convey to you that your actions make you look like a dick is much more important to me than receiving "credit." And you're so obviously over-the-top wrong that anything more than ad-hominem is really just gilding the lily.

The level of testing and reliability there is astounding - but so is the cost. And one day the engineers will find a way of capturing all that cost.

It's meant to mean 18 year old adults, or woman around that age (so it could be applied to 17 years old as well). This has nothing to do with child pornograpgy, but it seems to be a trend of our time to use that word when youth pornography is meant (and judge the latter accordingly).
This is a rewording of the WSJ article stuffed full of SEO spam.

> Here is Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, explaining that the portion of the gender wage gap due to bias and prejudice is about 25% of the total gap. That is 75% of the gap is due to various career choices and career preferences that differ between men and women, and the remaining 25% is due to bias and prejudice. So if the wage gap is 24 cents on the dollar, the wage gap due to bias and prejudice is 6 cents. Still something to think about and work on, but a whole lot less inflammatory than 24 cents.

This analysis is incomplete and doesn't really debunk anything.

First of all, career choices and preferences don't exist in a vacuum. They are partially the result of familial and cultural influence. Women are expected to behave a certain way and like certain things - this undoubtedly has an influence on which career they chose. Second, the way wages are set for a particular career is not always a rational process. Certainly the market influences how much someone is paid to some extent, but cultural and historical factors play a role here too.

All this quote basically says is 25% of the wage gap is due to overt discrimination, 25% is due to child rearing, and 50% is due to unknown factors - including traditional gender roles and other more "covert" forms of discrimination as well as personal choices.

Maybe studies that cover that last 50% exist, I don't know I'm not a sociologist, but saying that you can just throw 50% of the disparity away because it's "personal choice" is completely neglecting parts of the issue.

"Honestly, you'd think that at least when we're discussing a $1300 laptop, the lame "you're the product" cliche could be avoided."

http://books.google.com/books?id=k6vd7PJUFmYC&printsec=f...

Its the way we (women) are brought up in the western world. Girls are pushed to be consensus driven from a young age; whereas, boys are encouraged to participate in conflicts. Its playing house vs. playing war analogy. This translates into women avoiding and being uncomfortable in conflict situations, even salary negotiations.

But it can be changed. Awareness amongst parents is the first thing. Growing up in India, my father told me I could achieve anything I wanted. My mother took me to markets to bargain at a young age. As a result, I am not afraid of conflicts. My mantra is: If you dont ask, you will never get it.

Right. So it obviously stands to reason that they might think that's true for the email services too.
No you didn't. They don't care what's on your phone. They care about two things:

1) What's on their store, and

2) How apps get on your phone, e.g. they must be codesigned by Apple.

The former is where they apply their content standards. The latter is a (very effective) security measure.

But, for example, Apple doesn't care in the slightest if I make a hardcore pornography app, sign it with my own developer cert, and install it on my phone. They only care if I try and submit it to their store. Similarly, they don't care if I open up Safari and visit some pornographic website, even if it uses HTML5 offline mode and gets added as an independent icon to my home screen.

How and where? Do you have to setup Chrome sync for this?
I'm in a very similar situation. I'm a Junior Economics major who got into web development last year. Basically, a friend and I had an idea for a project we wanted to build, and we just decided to start building it up from the basics. We looked up resources as we went, and I got a good grasp of HTML/CSS and even some PHP from it. This led to us getting asked to work on a project for one of the professors here, and those two projects helped me land a web development internship for the summer.

The amount of resources that are online and all around you is enormous. I would say just keep kicking around ideas and try to put a few of them into practice. I've always found that learning through doing is the best way to learn, at least for me. In addition, ask your professors if there's anything that they could possibly benefit from having technology-wise. You might find an interesting way to combine your economics knowledge with your web development aspirations.

Just keep making stuff! You never know what could come of something until you try. If you have some time after you graduate, use it to try a bunch of different projects. Set a deadline for a very basic version of your idea, code it, test it out, get some feedback from people and just see where it goes.
Cool, thanks for the suggestion. The sandbox should be rolled out by the end of the week. Any reason why you put 'hackers' in quotations? Does it bother you that we use the word?

I don't think you've looked into the research regarding MEG and EEG, especially regarding noise. It's possible you are right, but without a room temperature superconductor and/or implantation, it's going to be hard.

If we get a body temperature superconductor, a whole lot of other things are going to change and a SQUID patch on your brain is going to be one of the more boring advances from that technology.
> The point is to put another wall against unintended installs (aka exploits)

Unintended installs may be a type of exploit, but they're not synonymous with them, as 'aka' indicates. Gatekeeper does nothing to protect against, say, your browser being compromised remotely, as you can run unsigned code in a signed application. Gatekeeper raises the barrier to entry, but only slightly.
I Don't Actually Read your Blog
I still remember Groupon's offices being shown as an example to follow, and that was what, a year and a half ago?

BTW I just wanted to add that despite all the talk about current Valve's efficiency with the old Valve there was only 5-6 years between HL1 and HL2, while its been 6 years since HL2EP2, and 9 years since HL2.

In comparison since HL2 there were Halo 2, 3, ODST, Reach and 4. Id launched Doom 3, Quake 4 and Rage. And we had Bioshock 1, 2 and 3, and Gearbox made both Borderlands games.

Valve is way too focused in catching up to F2P IMHO, and it should be careful since the social gaming party is already over and I've seen more than a couple of F2P games that get no "whales" at all, if you catch my drift.

"True Apple fashion" has only recently been about resisting power users. Before about five years ago, they were all about enabling power users while still being friendly to regular people. This was much more compelling than their current direction. Remember, this is the company that built their OS on top of UNIX and shipped a terminal app with it standard. It all changed around when the iPhone came out, though.
The security implications of only allowing codesigned code to execute is completely divorced from the decision to control what content is allowed on Apple's storefront. The former limits what's on your phone, but does not make any judgement about the content. The latter makes a judgement about the content, but doesn't limit what you can run on your phone if you can find some other avenue to run stuff (e.g. self-signed with a dev cert, or web apps).

Ask HN: How to bridge the Intern-Senior Dev Gap?
I've had a few internships where I've done good work, but never owned a project completely. I think I'd be great in a junior position, but most job posts I find are looking for senior engineers with 5 years experience in $TECHNOLOGY. How did these senior engineers they're advertising for become senior? Can anyone shed any light on this?
It just seems needlessly antagonistic. More flies with honey than vinegar and all that.
On an unrelated note, thanks for joining HN to participate in this discussion. It is really refreshing to know that Googlers like yourself and Matt Cutts are engaged in their community - it makes it much easier to have faith in the technology collaboration vs. when the movers/shakers sit behind a walled garden.

Have you ever used high quality ear buds? I'm curious how they compare to either telecoil or over-the-hearing aid headphones. I have a fairly pricey (~$150) set of etymotics that I use and they sound fantastic to me (moderate/moderate-severe hl). I also suspect they give me better ambient noise isolation than using Telecoil with my HA would.
Well, consider me in the 5% then. And though you're probably right about the 1-in-20, I don't think I'd put the proportion much higher for CS grads.
I can't see how Facebook would know without the destination sending your details back to Facebook. And in those instances, the destination site wouldn't know if I've ended up there after a suggestion on my friend stream or because a cat randomly jumped on my keyboard and coincidently typed their search pattern into Google. So such statistics would be pretty meaningless to all but our other internet overloads, Google.
He's right, "starting at $6/hour" threw me off as well. I initially thought $6/hour gets me an average person and $30/hour gets me an expert. The "starter" plan starts at $15/hr, so that's really where it "starts".

It should say something more honest, like "Costs $10/hour, or even less in bulk".

No.

If they're in a situation like this, it's incredibly unlikely that anyone has the knowledge necessary to do this, let alone the time, inclination, or (perhaps most importantly for enterprise companies) business approval. The vast majority of enterprises cannot just publish production code at their own discretion.

iOS devices effectively run Gatekeeper full-time with no way to turn it off (aside from jailbreaking). I don't think it's unreasonable to think that the Mac's current Gatekeeper is just a stop along the way toward that.
Because of Apples previous stance on porn on 'their' devices. I bet all sorts of spammy messages get marked as spam and filed in SPAM or JUNK, but porn related just disappears.

This is an interesting point: I would develop it to talk about _levels_ of disobedience.
