Too bad not every Google Apps for Business setup works with Chrome Sync (or most Google software).

My company uses Google Apps for Business, but that basically means web services, because no actual software works. GChat, Chrome, etc all fail to recognize the account.

Yep just tried again: Invalid user name and password. Exact same entry as when logging into email except Chrome fails where gmail.com works. It simply will not accept the name/password of my Google Apps account on any Google software.

What a bummer, was hoping this was a fix for having multiple accounts.
Yes I am aware of this feature in Gmail, but this is not what I am referring to.

What im referring to is when contacting other people through g+ it uses w/e email address is associated with g+. This is not always idea, I don't want everyone to know about my email address. Even if u have another email address it is impossible to contact other users using anything but the one email address associated with the account.

Also afaik you can link other NON google email addres, just not other google accounts...
My RSA Conference Notes & perspective – Tuesday AM 2013
If you don't have a system / recipe in place for rolling out new servers, having the newest framework is really not going to help you all that much.

That said, we run our current Rails 2.x products on shared servers (Rackspace). Their default set up works just fine.

You built up a horror scenario to prove your point, unfortunately it doesn't reflect reality / relies on a lot of assumptions about dev/ops incompetence that you didn't make clear.
I'm not arguing that what they did was OK, just that it was not "murder with intent". That requires them to have had his death as their goal, I'm not aware of any reason to believe this to be the case.
Touch-free gestural interfacing becomes real with this fingermouse
I noticed they don't talk about where they get their virtual assistants from. Do they hire them themselves, or do they recruit them from another agency? How do I sign up to work as a virtual assistant for them?

Oh well, I guess that's part of their trade secrets.
Live & On-demand RSA Conference 2013 keynotes - happening this week
While researching this, I came across some interesting media of the innovations of the industrial revolution. This youtube video shows off fly shuttle weaving: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khiEAEqdkZY

I'm curious about people's ideas on what a Big Stink might be with regards to privacy violations. Other than Facebook being hacked, what types of breaches would prompt widespread outcry?
That would be a great move.

Basic Marketing 101: if you try to attract everyone, you will inevitably get a lot of people for whom the product is not ideal, and then they will be angry. And then there will be backlash.

Better to build your fences and make them clear so people are educated, instead of seduced.

This is pretty amazing, not sure why it's not getting more attention.

The patient records (MRI, CT scan images, doctor writeups) are probably a lot harder to standardize I'm assuming?

That seems to be the missing piece from this API. Otherwise, great job you guys.. Open up the industry!
It is accessible to anyone, for free. I learned everything I use in my career for free on the Internet.

Most people have better things to do than programming, and don't want to invest the time to learn just because a news article said they should.
The big advantages of a dedicated VA are trust and communcation. In other words, after a dedicated VA and a customer have worked together for a few months, it is more likely that they will have achieved high levels of mutual trust and high levels of the "common reference frame" essential for effective communication than if the dedicated VA were replaced with a team that is also serving other customers.

Disclaimer: I have not actually used a VA.
The people who answered this way have clearly never had to go a day without water.
Perhaps you didn't understand, but that doesn't happen when you set up your editor.

Anyone who actually uses Python spends 0% CPU thinking about soft tabs because the editor is already set up to deal with this and almost everyone uses soft tabs, as suggested by PEP8.
Shelley Prevost has never been a startup operator. Her background is in psychological counseling, and she serves that role (in what looks like a team-coach or leadership-coach kind of role) at an incubator.

That doesn't disqualify her from having opinions about how women should handle gender-based bias, team dynamic, and motivational challenges in startups. But it doesn't automatically qualify her, either.

Meanwhile, I read this piece twice and it seems like it's full of platitudes. Maybe women leading startups face problems that are not best addressed by "Find other ways to get support, then keep moving" and "not living in the sting" and "amplifying your problems".
Sorry about that. :/

I personally read every single issue, comment, and commit that goes into Rails. But often tickets come up that I don't know anything about, so I don't say anything. This suggestion is one of them; I'm not mega familiar with that part of the codebase.
>it's not "rewriting history" because you've always got reflog and cryptographically secure version hashes

To avoid having to go to the reflog, you can follow this simple procedure: branch before rebase. Then when you're comfortable, just change the branch to point at the new ref. This is the rename(2) approach to rebasing :D

I suppose the most compelling reason to disbelieve the sheeple agenda theory is Occam's Razor. Do not attribute malice where incompetence is an adequate explanation. If our high schoolers are generally lacking in critical thinking skills, is it necessarily because millions of bureaucrats occupying several layers of hierarchy are all in lockstep in actively, intentionally making it so? Or is it possible--and more likely--that critical thinking is difficult to do in the first place, and even harder to teach, and anyone who is any good at it in the first place is far more likely to be employable in a setting that is favorable to that of the public schools?

I'm not slagging on public schools and teachers! Well, OK, yeah, I suppose I am, at least a little. I know a fair number of teachers. Some of them really like working with kids at that developmental stage, and some of them are really good at motivating their students to achieve. Others don't like the kids, and have become very good at identifying the minimum amount of effort they need to put forth to stay employed. Kind of like almost any other random cluster of professionals.
Enforcing a convention (like go fmt) will also take care of the issue.

However, this doesn't end up being really different from what Python does by rejecting mixed tabs and spaces. So.
It's a major shift I agree... but it's a great decision if executed correctly.

Every company has a set of main goals that imply that development can't be completely autonomous, but hiring good developers is not just about code it's also about people with a vision and a sense of purpose for your product. Take the way Github works for example: at the end of the day their main goal is an accessible hosted interface to git, to make git version control easier and ubiquitous; nevertheless having that main goal does not stop their developers from creating new features (say for example a desktop client) that make the product better though it may or may not directly translate to their main goal.

If you have a company that develops software and your developers have the autonomy to work on things that they actually believe will further increase the companies value (be it an interface change, bug fixes, or the refactoring of bad code) you will most definitely have a better result than if you make people work on things that might not be their forte or that are uninteresting to them.

Now I don't mean that people should have a complete free reign of the product, as some things are too important to forgo because no one wants to do them, but giving developers the chance to work on things they actually believe in as opposed to things that might not translate to creating value in their minds can go a long way towards good morale and retention, and un-doublty a better product because of it.
Let me be frank: I received a 1 page resume of a female computer scientist, where the word "women" was mentioned 8 times (organizations, etc). We did not interview that person, since frankly we were scared.

Every single issue is something that needs doing. We only keep bugs on the tracker, I'm pretty diligent about shutting them down.
Personally, I would prefer it, but I realise it may be confusing to your customers to have two totally different pricing methods.

How did the hourly model perform when you used it before?
It does and that's what I generally understood it to mean. The problem to me is that its so vague that it serves as a blanket justification for denying someone employment based on "gut feeling" or other basically discriminatory practices. It seems like it can also include "is willing to be in the office 12 hrs a day because he has no home life". No one would actually codify this in writing, but I have a feeling these are the types of filters that fall under "culture fit".

Some will (largely correctly) say that if that's the filter they use against me then I wouldn't want to work there in the first place. The problem is that it allows these types of discrimination to feel justified because we all discuss them under the euphemism "culture fit" instead of calling them exactly what they are: blatant discrimination. Personally I think if you have a filter that you would use to disqualify someone, you should be willing to state it plainly.
Actually you weren't, you were actively supporting the development and helping ST2 get to where it is. Kudos to you. However, it's beta software and if it doesn't work it's beta software, you've got the opportunity to say things aren't working or features aren't right. You're not only investing in the development of the product, you're also getting the chance to be involved in making it the product you want.

Needing money to pay bills is a financial problem we all have as well. He's not doing this to be the popular guy, he's doing it to make a product he loves and keep the lights on.
I hadn't noticed Filepicker had that neat mobile solution. Very nice. The only problem I've ever had with Filepicker, is that sometime if you query their returned URLs instantly after you've uploaded a file, there's no file there.

Thank you. One step at a time. We're focused on winning as the platform where all US healthcare eligibility information is passed to prove that it can be normalized and done fast. Then we will move on to help hackers take over the whole healthcare transactional world including clinical, imaging, and pharma data :) Less talk, more do!
Proprietary open source
Would you work for free on an open source project, open in the sense that source code is available and anybody can submit pull requests, but with a propietary license where the code owner retains all the rights to copy, redistribute, sell, etc...? If not, would you do it if you were paid for your contributions?
This sounds alarmingly close to the dangerous "women can only succeed in business by acting like men" attitude that is prevalent in much of more traditional businesses and particularly in more conservative cultures around the world.

There are real biases and subconscious prejudices against female entrepreneurs, female engineers, and female professionals in many industries in general that will most likely perpetuate if ignored (which imo is what this article suggests). While ignoring the possibility of potential pitfalls might work, it definitely doesn't seem like an elixir that will cure all ills.

> I say "bah-humbug" to job security. That means that you just don't know or care about your craft.

I'm twenty-five years old. My wife and I have four cats, a home, two cars, and more than six figures of combined student loan debt.

I earn 75% of our total income as a Software Engineer. We can't survive on my wife's income alone and we don't have any family members to fall back on if times get tough.

So you, a senior web developer at JPC, might say "bah-humbug" to job security, but I, for the reasons listed above, do not.
You forgot one type of person. "People who wait for the walk sign because they've got other things on their mind and make the conscious choice to leave deciding when to cross the street up to the street light." Waiting for the light lets you cross the street with hardly any thought at all, freeing that thought up to do other things.

These people realize you can only do so many tasks so why not delegate the least value-added (what are you going to gain by earning 15 seconds) of the tasks to someone - or something - else? It's a no-stress, win-win to give yourself one less thing to worry about.
I'd love for you to whittle away at nagging edge cases!

One of the most common places where that's true is in the ActiveRecord issues, which are about half of the open ones: https://github.com/rails/rails/issues?direction=asc&labe...

Even just making a little Rails app or script that re-produces the bug would be helpful. Writing a test case that's failing would be mega helpful. Fixing the bug would be incredibly helpful. :)
It also commits the irony of talking about "women's issues" solely to badmouth the idea of doing just that, in essence. Count me as not a fan of the piece.
And I suppose none of this applies to private industry...
Scared of what?
It's possible there are problems with the survey's methodology.
And yet all of the glorious self learners can't describe when to use a hashmap, what a hash is, or even the difference between a list and set...

I'm not talking even knowing the algorithms, I mean a guy that writes list.contains(condition) in a loop and it brings the server to a halt because every call to contains runs through the entire list, when a hashset.contains(condition) would run in milliseconds.

* no I did not go to a top tier school and only have a CS Minor, but I did read the books to make sure I didn't have gaps in my knowledge. It's just rare in my experience to find people that know the basics who also claim they were self-taught. People get all pissed off if you ask them what a HashMap is, which should be the most basic thing in programming.
Assuming that what is charged here is true - namely, that the prosecutors brought the case against Swartz because of his philosophical writings on open data

The whole point is that it's not true! It's just something HuffPo, et al. are spinning out of a much less controversial statement about what evidence they considered to establish intent. The strongly-conclusive headlines do not match the actual story here. Defending the bullshit headlines doesn't make them true--that's not how truth works.

I hate to be the devil's advocate in this case, but how else would an adversarial system work? If you want to see an opposite situation, where the prosecutors have full discretion to the point that courts basically always side with them, look no further than Japan and its 99% conviction rate.

You guys still aren't getting it; circumstantial evidence is not about the probability that the evidence is what it claims to be, it is about the necessary inference about what the evidence proves if the evidence is what it claims to be.

Noncircumstantial evidence directly supports the point for which it is introduced if the evidence is what it claims to be. The victim's blood on the defendant's shoe directly supports the point that the defendant was in the victim's presence when the victim was dying if it is established that the blood is the victim's blood.

Circumstantial evidence requires an additional inference beyond this step. The fibers are circumstantial because the fiber doesn't prove anything except that the someone wearing those gloves might have been at the crime scene at some point in time. You require the additional inference that the fiber was left at the scene at the time of the crime, which the fiber by itself does not prove but which can be "circumstantially" proved in combination with other evidence. For example, if the defendant, or some other witness, claims that the defendant was never at the scene of the crime at any point in time (specifically, but not limited to, periods prior to the crime), the presence of the rare fibers from his rare gloves is circumstantial evidence that the only time he was at the scene of the crime was when the crime occurred. In other words, the circumstances surrounding the fiber are the proof, not the fiber itself.

Just realize that if you don't get a degree, you will always battle people who feel threatened by you. School becomes a core part of most people's identity, and they can be very protective of it in passive aggressive ways. People are told from a young age that people who didn't attend school are uneducated. At least that's been the case with me. I have a great career and no degree, and it's something I deal with constantly.
This kind of callousness and careerism happens with anybody who starts working in the industry of putting people in jail. They have to succeed in their organizations.

Aerial photography ban proposed for all but government
"Has anyone noticed how people who do not sleep a lot "look old" - I mean with wrinkles, spots, etc."

Absolutely. But I will also add that the spots and the wrinkles can come from to much exposure to the sun which can also come from having the money to take vacations in the sun or have summer homes. Excess sun exposure really ages people.
I don't understand why people speak so fondly of things like education cuts. Reducing the absolute size of the budget and increasing revenue are both important for continuing to reduce the deficit. But almost every real problem with government is caused by the relative allocations of funds and how departments are managed, not the mere existence of funding for things like education or public health.

While this might be a nice sociological observation, or a neat metaphor for life, I think it's taking it too far. Yes, we judge people a lot. But trying to pidgeonhole people's personalities based on how they cross the street is a bit ridiculous. I think people need to be aware of the subconscious judgments we make, and how wrong they often are. Open-mindedness is one of the greatest virtues to strive towards IMO.
