Yes, if the output is not so verbose as to obscure the next
command(s). If the article is hypertext, then output could be
hidden (in an alternate article version with output, behind a link
for each command line to text output or a screenshot, in alt text, etc.)

For the experienced user, command output may be predictable
(and for traditional Unix commands, may be of length 0),
but for the user unfamiliar with the commands being used,
example output can serve as a confirmation that the
right command was used, the desired result ensued, etc.

For less-experienced readers, be sure to provide specific commands,
rather than falling victim to a recent unfortunate trend to give
only a vague text description of the needed commands:

vague: "then install Frobnicate and use it on the frammis."

clear:

# yum install frobber-tool
<example output>

# frob /dev/frammis
<example output>

Test: if a reasonable user would ask how, where, or what,
the instructions could be more explicit.
Speed, the Hidden Feature
Out of curiosity, how do Apple stores track how well an employee upsell products? Is there an expected model that sells for each product line, and if an employee exceeds this level on average (say, the EV is a Macbook Air 13 inch and 10% chance of warranty contract but the employee "averages" a 13 inch MBP + 25% success on a warranty), does she get a bonus?
It might depend on the transgression. I mean, that Uruguayan soccer team breached religious dietary taboos in a pretty major way when their plane crashed, and they were forgiven by the Catholic hierarchy; and there are exceptions for duress in most religious dietary laws.

Stealing food, on the other hand, is a prisoner's-dilemma defect move. You wouldn't improve the situation by persuading everyone to adopt it, which is specifically why it would generate a backlash.
I've recruited (as an engineer) at a previous version of this before, really enjoyed it.

Candidates set up their own booths, and company reps walk around speaking to candidates. This allows candidates to show you more than just hand you a resume and answer a less meaningful 30 second "aptitude" question on the fly.

At their booth, they set up projects they have worked on, websites they have designed, robots they created, machine learning projects, etc... You get to see what the candidates are interested in, ask them interesting questions, and get to see the candidates at (hopefully) their best.

If you're looking for a job, make sure you bring example work you have done, this will allow you to show off your skills and get others excited about your skill set.
Hey guys, I got an unexpected amount of traffic from this one and I am trying to fix it, thanks for the cache link!

Now if he said it was a coffee shop or such, sure.
Well there was a significant secondary motivation to see how salespeople reacted to the faked "deafness", so in this case contacting the Apple education group would have rendered this secondary purpose moot.

As a ruby lover, I'm interested in the ruby implementation the Author wrote and mentioned, topaz [1]. Has anyone here tried it?

Any way to validate game center credentials in the backend?
Firefox and Webkit both allow a user-specified stylesheet, although it is buried a bit in Firefox.

If you have foolishly built a Mac app that does any kind of number crunching, your choices are the newest Mac Pro at whatever absurd price Apple asks or breaking the law with a hackintosh.

Apple has been making moves that look like abandoning the Mac Pro for a while now. It's been three years where the only upgrade has been a chip update forced on them because Intel stopped making the old ones.

If you're thinking of making a video processing app or scientific computing app or any other app that really likes a lot of CPU you should plan your Mac version with a generic unix back end and communicate over the network. Apple is not supporting the market, anymore.

I guess that applies to anyone who wants something other than a phone or tablet. Unfortunately all the other manufacturers have abandoned the mid-range desktop and laptop PC markets even more thoroughly than Apple. I'm still amazed no one else but Apple sold a laptop with an acceptable screen at all for four straight years until 2012.
When I was a kid, there was a girl I knew who was deaf and mute. But we always had great fun talking with each other using pen and paper. I don't know why, but it was so much easier to talk with her than it was a lot of other kids. Obviously, some types of people are easier to talk with, but I think something actually switches on in my mind that makes it easier for me to communicate when I'm writing, rather than speaking.

"Mason sold around $28 million worth of shares before Groupon's IPO in the fall of 2011."

With facebook, you can ask facebook server to validate the user, but with apple seems like there is no way.

If that is the case, think twice before using game center as login in your backend because any user can replace any other user by just knowing his game center id on any game.
I think the question is about the genesis of the unusual annual salary of $756.72.
I think you're right.

In general, single-event upsets (SEUs), which are a single change to usually a handful of bits, from a cosmic ray, are far more common than permanent damage.
I'm surprised that a whole class of kids who were not deaf knew enough sign language to convince the author that they were deaf.
I think he is referring to the annual number - why that exact amount?

They are not allowing the trailing / anyway, so what's the difference?
There is a lot new at this fair, namely, we're going to have a big party at the end to add a little serendipity and there is a designated time to let the candidates have some time to seek out employers who didn't come visit them who they wanted.
12 years ago? Myspace was founded in Aug 2003, meaning it's only 9.5 years old now. It was acquired by News Corp just 8 years ago when they had only 25m registered users [0].. and was at its peak active users just 5 years ago (the numbers I already linked to).

Facebook was started only 6 months after Myspace.

So this isn't just about being in the right place at the right time. Myspace clearly made mistakes and/or executed poorly. They had the lead until mid-2008..

> linked lists are the default data structure underlying almost every implementation of Stacks and Queues

Citation needed. I doubt this.

Certainly if I had only ten minutes to implement a stack or a queue, without access to anything more than stdlib.h (or equivalent), a linked list is easy to get right in a hurry, and only takes a few dozen lines. But the auto-resizing array is only a little harder, and has better performance for nearly every operation, as I explained in the previous post.

> they're also such a flexible data structure that it is literally the ONLY data structure necessary to implement any of the LISPs.

Of course. So what? That's not a reason to use them anywhere other than a school assignment that requires you to use them.
Care to give an example that doesn't violate the Rules of Criminal Procedure?
Really like this. Simpler than searching PHP documentation if only needing to know something quickly. Nice idea :)
It sounds to me that you simply encountered an asshole who happened to pretend to be deaf, and incorrectly blamed the pretending bit for the asshole bit.
Why not just use jikl instead if you don't want to lift your hand to move to the arrow keys. I am kind of tired of seeing this obsession with trying to get everyone to use hjkl which just doesn't make any actual sense. I totally get the point about the arrow keys requiring you to lift your hand but you can accomplish the same arrow key logic while keeping your hand in the same place.
> giving jurors relevant information

Courts have rules of evidence, which are largely to protect the rights of the accused. Particularly rights against unlawful search and seizure.

If it relates to a case, and the jury's going to hear it, it has to go through the proper process for evidence. Basically, the lawyers for both sides have a chance to tell the judge whether there's a legal reason the evidence should be excluded, and the judge can decide whether there's a legal basis for excluding the evidence from what the jury will consider.
It most certainly can be helped: don't use Squarespace.
Yes, that was the question. Thought it might be a multiple of some arcane physical constant.
Although it sucks that you had a bad experience with someone who was pretending to be disabled, I disagree that having the students pretend to be deaf was a bad idea.

First off, they each bought a MacBook, so catering to them was hardly a waste of time. Secondly, I feel like exercising one's empathy is always a good thing, especially during those extremely formative high school years.

Of course, it's very easy to dismiss another person's life circumstances (disabled or not) in passing. So, actually being treated differently as a result of changing your behavior can open up a world of insight about human nature. This article makes me wonder how I would've felt about having the same experience (as one of the students) when I was in high school.

The author noted that there was a "troublemaker" and that the kids were "mostly friendly", so maybe some of the students were of the same mindset as the guy who tricked you. Perhaps the article was sugarcoated quite a bit, but even so.

Pretending to have a disability solely to cultivate empathy can certainly be beneficial for one's social life. Maybe it's not the best way to exercise empathy, but I don't think it hurts.
> > linked lists are the default data structure underlying almost every implementation of Stacks and Queues

> Citation needed. I doubt this.

As do I. Since you're not going to reorder a stack or (in most cases) a queue, and since they contain fixed-size elements, what's the point of a linked list?
> wearing clothing with signs?
Privacy issues aside, this is a great improvement over existing technology. This would really help with, for example, monitoring chronic conditions like hypertension. Instead of having to manually record and report blood pressure to their doctors, people could have it recorded and reported automatically. Speaking from experience, most people are lousy with that.
Multi-threaded HTML parser is now enabled for Chromium, close to 10% faster.
They were probably more friendly since people didn't communicate with them as much too.
Gimp Save dialog has always sucked in one way or another.

For example, I open a jpg and go to save it as a PNG. I select PNG from the drop down list of available types and type the filename, but unless I also add .PNG to the filename it makes a jpg again.
What bothered me the most was that I did install Arch over the summer. It was awesome! It wasn't to hard, but more technical than most "consumer" installs. This was due to the EXCELLENT bit software called that AIF (Arch Install Framework) that offered a ton of usability improvements while maintaining the customizability that many crave.

So, I started recommending it to a bunch of people I know as an excellent development environment. What was odd was that they all reported back that it was incredibly hard to do and manage.

It turns out that just days after I had done this install, Arch completely removed AIF in favor of a bunch of smaller, much less helpful scripts specifically so that it wouldn't be as simple (and thus less flexible) to install.

I was, and still am, totally floored by this. I switched to using Ubuntu Server with my own choice of UI layer (Xmonad for life!) after dealing with that.
They only needed the first one to be somewhat convincing; the rest were probably an easy sell.
In addition to Ron's excellent summary, if you're not yet convinced but still interested as to why the MTA should be repealed--and it definitely should--it's a long and sad tale. (As I've said other places, I'm personally not against uniform, reasonable regulation at the federal level, but the MTA is the wrong way to do it for so many reasons.)

That actually seems to be what Google does to your keyword searches: replace the specific with the general, turn proper names into redundant phrases ("schannel socket" -> "channel socket"), suggest dropping keywords, etc.

As someone who uses a custom variant of the Dvorak layout, one thing about Vim that I find annoying is the that the navigation keys only make sense for a Qwerty keyboard. I know that it is easy to do a custom remap but nevertheless I find that it is harder to learn the commands when the keyboard shortcuts are no longer intuitive (e.g not using d for delete, etc.)
The funny thing about alternative phone OS's is that they make your phone do everything but work as a phone.

To be fair, a more apt comparison would if they were all sent to a car dealership, and the dealer was told they will all buy a car and just need help picking a color. I'm sure they'd get fantastic service.

Having said that, Apple is pretty well known for offering great customer service, even when it's clear you're not purchasing anything.
I spent a good while reading your replys and one of the things you keep saying is cheat sheet. Now I dont use a cheat sheet because my fingers have become accustomed to the way vim works. The other thing you are saying a lot is that it takes time to switch modes. It does not. For most people you have to move your fingers off of the home key row to click delete or control so it is easier to just use the keys closer saving lots of time. The other thing you said is that modal editing has become obsolete which is simply not true because almost every IDE comes with a VI(M) mode and is not restricted to the non modal form. Also you say that hjkl are inefficient you have to move your entire hand to use the arrow keys but with hjkl you just have to keep it in the same place.
Given that tablets and smart phones are taking over as ubiquitous computing devices on the contrary I think the need for alternate text inputs is growing rapidly.

I've had an interesting experience using swype on nexus 7. I find my concept of spelling itself is changing'where creating a word is more about the shape than specific correct spelling. Using swype effectively still requires knowledge of how words are spelled and layed out on the QWERTY keyboard. But I see it pointing towards gestural text creation.
It's unfortunate that this is not being highlighted by people involved in the sequestration discussions. People certainly have different views on the role and size of government, but I think most people would agree that they and/or their loved ones have or could benefit from this type of basic research and the stimulus it provides to the private sector.
They were given gift cards and their teacher was supervising them. It's not like they were given a thousand dollars each and sent on a shopping spree.I know schools that give laptops to students - and this one was allowing them to buy them, possibly to teach them something, give them that experience. If it was a small, privately paid school,then I don't see what this would not be true.

Serious question: Did your parents think you might be groomed on MySpace by perverts? Were the worried for you in any way? (In this context of course, I'm sure in general they care about you!!!) See, a lot of parents sign up to facebook because of the various scare stories, and want to monitor their kids. I know quite a few in that category.

On the other hand, I'm a parent and I signed up before my kids even knew FB existed. My parents have not signed up, and likely never will. Neither will my parents parents, but then Im not sure they even know what a "facebook" even is.

I have since closed my facebook account. Unless places like here are some how called "social", I don't do "social" at all. Well, I do, but I don't call sitting in front of a computer social. I call it giving over personal information so a web site can make money. Not that there is anything wrong with that, its fair enough for those who want to partake. But to me, that is what it is. I communicate with friends via email if I have to use a computer to do so.
The Economist's "New Model Army" piece http://www.economist.com/news/finance-and-economics/21569752... (also mentioned on the Kickstarter page) gives the background to this.

I purchased a couple switches and a new server for my high school when I was a junior. I also was allowed to buy on the school's line of credit at a local hardware store for things I needed for the stage.

I went to a private catholic high school in a small city. The administration trusted the students. They also didn't have IT staff, so geek speaking technobabble sounds better than paying actual staff. Walked out of high school with independent study classes, real experience in IT and building control systems, and without my parents paying expensive tuition.
I don't think it's a bonus rather a not-getting-yelled-at perk (or pat on the back bonus perhaps). They can track it rather easily since every employee's ID is tied to the little iPad or iPod they are completing the sales with.
