We are looking for sales people, to sell Open Source enterprise software. We have some really cool products that live at the intersection of social-networking, business process management, collaboration/groupware and knowledge management. Think "facebook for the enterprise" (ala Yammer or Jive) but with a much stronger focus on deep integration into business processes and workflows.

Experience doing enterprise sales is preferred, but if you've never sold a thing in your life and you're interested, apply anyway. We'll train the right person(s).

And if you really have the right stuff, we'd consider granting you a significant chunk of equity and bringing you in as a co-founder. In any case, since this is a startup, there is a ton of opportunity to grow and help us build an empire. Our first salesperson could easily wind up VP of Sales or Chief Marketing Officer or something down the road (if they are interested, of course).

We're also open to adding another technical person to the co-founding team. The right person would need some seriously strong technical chops, with a background in the JVM world, preferably with some or all of:

serious Groovy/Grails experience, strong knowledge of various persistence mechanisms (relational databases, graph databases, document databases, etc), experience with Lucene, Mahout, jBPM, Activiti, Camel, Jena, Solr, and/or Hadoop. Any experience with Machine Learning, NLP, Semantic Web technologies, and/or Social Network Analysis would be a big bonus. A double extra super bonus would be any experience or background as a business analyst or similar role. Front end development skills would be a positive as well, but isn't required (one of the current co-founders (not me) is a bad-ass front-end designer).

So, if you're interested in joining the next great Open Source enterprise software company, working on Open Source projects full-time (and we mean REAL Open Source, developed in the open, collaboratively, ASLv2 licensed, etc), working on hard problems with Machine Learning, NLP, Information Retrieval, Social Network Analysis, and "big data" tools, get in touch. We have an obsessive focus on solving real problems and creating real value, in exchange for real money. This isn't some speculative "hey, let's build a great site for sharing photos of cats doing silly things and figure out how to monetize it when we have a billion users" deal.

We can't pay any relocation expenses at the moment, so local folks only, please. Email prhodes (at) fogbeam (dot) com for more info.
I really, really like Raphael. I was in a position to try out Easel, Fabric and Raphael and while is was my personal favorite, our needs to stay close to AS3 (to port flash) meant we went with Easel.

Raphael is a very nice library though.
I've used gimp since 1997 exclusively and I hate every bit of 2.8s interface ... from the impossible to find dockable tabs that hide every which way, to the laborious change in workflows, to the new way they've decided to do ranges ... making it really simple to choose numbers like 15 bazillion versus 10 bazillion but making it impossibly difficult to easily go between 1 and 4.

And they STILL only have 8 bits per plane (people were whining about this in the 90s ... when Bill Clinton was president), STILL can't remember sub-pixel rendering steps ... other than improved PSD importing, I don't see why.

I'm sure they've put a lot of work into this; but not in the right areas.

Their target audience should be highly technical people that need to do image work and want a tool like vim/emacs/zsh etc but for images; learning curves are ok as long as you can combine simple steps in composable tasks to do amazing things.

I say the same things about all my good tools: "I've been using it for 10+ years, I totally suck at it still, and I would never use anything else". You can say that about paintbrushes, driving, violins, maybe even photoshop or excel; but not gimp.

They were going down that road for a while in the 2.2 or so days, but then they did a 180.
Note that the author says, on the web page:

So this is not necessarily intended for everyone.
Likely is security theater, but in all fairness they might actually be doing all those things and wanted a UI element to let users know what is taking so long.
This isn't always true: it all depends on where you [the attacker] are. If you've done something like compromise part of a large organization's network, it's entirely plausible that you could spoof either their internal NTP server or time.apple.com but not both.

The reason I replied to the article is that I see too much peudoscience being put forth as science. And this matters very much -- there are groups in society who want science's status without the discipline. Creationists and Christian Scientists are just two of many examples.

My point is that, below an easily detected threshold, it's no longer science. It may be part of an overall scientific enterprise, but to call something science that depends on someone's personal tastes or preferences is very misleading, and may grant credibility to activities that don't deserve the name "science".

> until a hypothesis gathers enough supporting data to become a principle, the process of science at the margins is inherently social.

Yes, which is why we have science. Science is a method to get around humans' predisposition for distorted thinking. If humans were rational, there would be no science -- what we call "science", those rational creatures would call "thinking".

My point is that, when science becomes social, it's at the border of science, at the border of anything useful. And it may explain why most published research findings are false:

http://www.plosmedicine.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal...

> I didn't even get into matters of ethics and politics. For example, there are important medical principles today that were gathered through highly unethical (and regrettable) research in the early 20th century; if similar experiments were performed today, the experimenters would be vilified and the results discarded out of principle, even if it was robustly scientific with a significant impact.

Interesting example. It turns out that scientific results are scientific results regardless of their origins. We should do all we can to prevent travesties like the Tuskegee syphilis experiment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_syphilis_experiment), but once the data have been collected, it would be foolish to throw them away because of their origins.

> ... and the results discarded out of principle ...

Not really. Most studies that are carried out with appropriate scientific discipline are accepted as legitimate, regardless of their origins. Remember that scientific experimentation is not about whether a result makes us feel good, it's about whether the result reflects reality.

For those reasons, the Tuskegee researchers should all be thrown in jail, the public outrage is entirely justified, policies should be put in place to prevent any such thing from ever happening again, but the results should not be discarded. And, as it happens, they weren't.
That is a perfectly valid error that you should know about so you can go and fix your fucking network.

"Like software engineers, VFX artists aren't professionals or artists"

Overgeneral statement. You can perhaps make that claim of some VFX jobs, but I'd defy you to say that Bay Raitt, say (one of the main guys who created Gollum) isn't doing artistic work.

3D character modeling, to take just one VFX job, is sculpture. That's been fairly conclusively defined as an artform for a while now.
what happened to UI and UX internships?
I had some BASIC programming classes in high school, loved everything about it. Although I didn't follow through with programming at the time, chose to be a recording engineer/producer instead. many failed starts with java and html books in the 90's. I find myself 45 and with a passion to really learn this time. I started learning Processing 5 months ago with the only online resources and a book.

It's absolutely one of the best things I've set out to learn. I find so many similarities between music engineering and programming it's kinda crazy. As many have said, It's never too old to learn... anything.

Well, it's possible that you are confusing passion with emotion. It really takes a thick skin to go against the grain. The grain on HN is very pro-vim for some reason. And, yes, it blew my top to see an article now proposing to go farther and ignore "hjkl". How insane will this cult get?

If all I achieve is to virtually snap a newbie out of the trance created by HN dogma the result is good. It would be a tragedy to promote these tools for another thirty years.
Not sure why you're being downvoted, as it seems like a legitimate question, but...

I don't think so. It seems logical that Google's been keeping statistics about this sort of thing, so it doesn't surprise me that they keep track of such things as 'average queries per second'.
There definitely is a form of a search bubble though, right?
Though not a typical business this sounds like a trade issue to me. Governments are subsidizing a product for export to the detriment of other countries.

If by article you mean Gruber then yes. If you meant Tim Wu's article then you didn't read the same one I did, he says unequivocally that barring magic pixie dust, closed loses.

I'm not arguing that closed wins because Apple is successful. I'm saying Tim Wu's underlying argument is a complete non sequitur and that is more effectively exposed with 35 words than 3,500.

No, ntpd adjusts the skew, not the actual time. NTP is specifically designed to prevent time from going backwards because that can cause all sorts of problems with tons of software. It only slows down and speeds up the clock to keep it in sync.
You should read the article more carefully. As Schneier says in his post, amateurs target systems, whereas professionals target people. So the technology used doesn't matter very much at all. In most cases all you need to do is some social engineering to figure out people's soft spots.
I have started (and self-funded) at more than three technology businesses in my life. I am in the process of starting two more.

Wow, it's sad that parent never learned how to use a real text editor. Can you imagine how much more he could have contributed to the world if only he hadn't been held back by bugs, delays, and quality problems inflicted by bad tools? If only some stubborn people would invest a little time in learning vi or EMACS, the world could have so much more productivity from people like that.
I'm not sure that is true...

You can update only a specific repo if you'd like. In which case it would be possible to limit the submodule command to only submodules existing in the current directory.

Yes, it would need to scale back up to the .gitmodules file, but it is still possible.

BINGO! Thanks for understanding.

I went to a startup pitch event the other day. VC's on the panel were asking the entrepreneurs the usual cadre of tough financial questions. Questions like: "How are you going to spend the time and money once you get funded?".

What do you think would happen if someone said something like this?

"I am going to take a month or two to learn and get really good at vim because I keep reading on HN that it takes too long to reach for the cursor keys. Then I'll start building the product you will be investing money on."

I don't know about that panel. If I was on the panel the lightest kick would land the would-be entrepreneur on the moon without a rocket.

Not important. Not significant. A complete and utter waste of time, focus and mental resources.
It may just be PR, but I do think a lot of non-technical people can benefit from going through the animation. It's pretty amazing that that is what's happening. It could just be an attempt by Google to expose their craft to the technical layperson.

This leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I've seen quite a few people use this approach in an attempt to get their boss's job, irrespective of the boss's performance in their position. In general, I think that fighting your boss only leads to a draw, almost never to a win.

How normal is this? It strikes me as odd, but I know nothing.
I prefer 100 MegaGigaBytes, son.
I like the way people are starting to look at alternative approaches to text editing. Light Table has some good ideas, for example. For me, multiple cursors and fast symbol navigation in Sublime Text has been a huge time saver.

Personally, I have never needed code folding (I prefer to have my own map of the code in my head, and anything that obscures that map just gets in the way), or Sublime Text's minimap, nor have I ever needed the symbol sidebar that is found in some IDEs (Eclipse, Netbeans). What I really want is more efficient editing.

For example, text editors like Sublime have zero language-sensitive refactoring support. I can't rename (variables, methods etc.) or extract methods, for example. Even some really simple operations like "select entire current nesting level" are unavailable. I remember using Eclipse 7 years ago and really liking the intelligence of the incremental compiler backend, even though I hated Java; it seems that with backends such as Clang, those tools can once again be applied outside big, annoying IDEs like Eclipse and Xcode.

Not sure if this particular approach is useful except to a small niche, but it looks pretty slick. Good luck with the effort!
That may be, but no one needs to receive emails from people pretending to be someone they aren't.

The Rapper's Flow Encyclopedia
Indeed.

It's questionable how complete an explanation of the internet is, with little mention of peering agreements and transit relationships.
It could be the opposite. Wells Fargo has a lot of different apps that need to authenticate and integrate with their identity management/sso system. It is near-trivial to implement this sort of thing, but it isn't necessarily trivial to make it fast.

I wouldn't be surprised if the authentication process was taking long enough that a decision was made to add some sort of "loader" like this to make it appear like the extra time was absolutely necessary from a security standpoint.

It's a bit of a lazy decision from a UX standpoint, but it isn't entirely uncommon either: when you notice some action is slow, slap an animation in front of it.
