Meds. Even if they say the chance of it working is 60% in your case, work with your psychiatrist who handles depression, anxiety, and other conditions as well as ADD. Feel free to shop around until you get the guy who can read you on the first meeting and tell you something other than how he's going to change your life.

It sounds as if it is an "easy" solution, but your brain is out of whack. Once I got into my mid-30s, after a few half-assed attempts every five years, I went to a good psychiatrist who focused on psychotherapy. It was expensive, with more than one visit a week for over a year, but it not only gave me cognitive techniques to deal with my challenges; he identified the places where he felt medication would help, both in the short and long term. The DIY crowd would call it 'stacking' but it amounted to tuning the effects of a number of mild medications to get the right results from the complete protocol.

The frequent check-ins were key, as well as avoiding my initial impulse, which was to write an iPhone app to ping me every n hours to rate myself on the factors I was attempting to improve as well as side effects.

After about six months, we got things dialed in so that the cyclone was a brainstorming technique I could pull up on demand, rather than being the perpetual noise dragging every thought to a tangental and unhelpful reference.

Things went quickly from there. I started three companies with a friend, but the difference being that they're all profitable and still exist after three years. This after a long trail of books, applications, sites, and other things that were created and never taken seriously.

I will say "The Blob" in the noisy times is a good way to build knowledge so that when you have focus, you can apply thousands of years of reasoning, philosophy, and cheesy buzz-words to current problems. In retrospect, I don't regret randomly reading the encyclopedia when I was a kid, spacing out in class, getting horrid grades, or being the master of six degrees of any actor. It made the first few years out of school more difficult, but like distance running, you have to build a base.

Feel free to PM me for my regimen, keeping in mind we have different physiological factors as well as different problems, either in nuance or category. It may give you a starting point in discussions with your doctor.
Great thanks. It'll be interesting to know what load my application will fall over with.

Can't agree more. But instead of saying 'Startups shouldn't hire MBAs', I'd rather say 'MBAs shouldn't join startups'.
Having done my MBA from one of India's most prestigious schools, and after having worked for 4 years in large conglomerates, I've recently joined a startup as a founding member. It takes a month to realize its a different ballgame, and what I did for last 5-6 years, although is helping me here, it could be learnt in a startup in much lesser time. MBA is great to get into I-Bank or Consulting, in fact almost unavoidable. But if one wants to join a startup, he should plunge into it the moment he finishes his undergraduate.

The ! operator already has a meaning, which is negation. There are also many different ways to run pipelines: `run` just runs it, letting output pass through to stdout/stderr and returning nothing, but raising an error if the process fails; `success` suppresses process output and returns true or false based on the return status of the pipeline; there are also various ways of reading from and writing to pipelines, or starting pipelines asynchronously and letting them run in the background. So using ! for just one of these many ways of running external programs seems short-sighted.
Fortunately for me I'm already using AWS. The trick is getting an understanding of the load limitations of the instance types and where the application will keel over and die.
I managed to solve this one using the F12 Developer Tools in IE. Good enough tool for the job. Would use again.
I can use it, but I can't touchtype it, so I do feel a little stupid sometimes typing on qwerty and probably couldn't do it without at least glancing at my hands. Its worth it for me though because I spend so much more typing on my own colemak keyboard than I type on qwerty.
The Swedish model brings up a good point that the regional childrens hospital in my area would have to gather revenue from multiple county govts not just the city its located in. There is also a Mayo Clinic facility in my state with at least theoretically national coverage which would have to gather money from the feds.

It might be simpler for "regional and bigger" hospitals and specialty clinics to back bill the patients local hospital.

The swiss model looks similar to how we used to bill old fashioned landline long distance telephone lines in the USA. Other than the profit/non-profit thing.
No ... I just got mine. Kudos to Microsoft on this one. My money is going to a good cause and I get to give Windows 8 development a chance.

In the one an only class to graduate prior to mine, several people were hired by McKinsey, but for whatever reason Facebook and Google were more conservative and failed to appear at the hiring event. I don't know any details, but a lot of companies are stuck in the "only hire CS majors with a GPA > x" mindset.

The school does do quite a bit to get us in front of people, but students also take the initiative to get intros. Many in the initial class went to start-ups.

I say we should diagnose more ADD because really this stuff is way good, everybody has it and then people sort of like learn to control it or something! X-men is here folks!

Really, I have no idea what the fuck is ADD since it's symptoms seems to be stuff that everybody has to deal with and the best I can see people coming up with "no but when you have it it's like a LION is trying to eat you and you still can't focus, like, completely not normal"... I wonder, in case it's a legitimate thing, how the fuck have we gotten so far with 20% of brains shipping out with defects!? Amazing.

(I also guess the reason ppl are so proud of it is because this label is laid on them early on as childs, tweens... then they just start wearing it)

To give some perspective: we were lucky to have less than 2% of traffic coming from IE, most of those visits via IE9+. This made the decision to switch easy in terms for browser support in our case.

YMMV of course but it definitely makes sense to look into your target audience. For some people Firefox 3 and IE6 might still be user bases that are worth supporting, we are glad to have a product for web and mobile developers :)

I wouldn't be surprised if this decision also makes sense for a lot of other target audiences, especially when you consider that you are in it for the long term.

Here's a Title: Questionably Valuable Inspiration
Personally I find people who don't watch porn to be of poor credibility, sorry for the levity, but I'm slightly shocked that a porn habit should count against you. Though I wouldn't be surprised if it did. The secret there may simply be to establish that your habit, if proven to exist (after all they'd have to tie the logs to your use of a computer), is not outside of the bounds of normal human habits relating to pornography. If your porn habit arose from a lack of sex, then that may even count in your favour, depending on who is at fault for the breakdown in such a lack of sex.

That's all the thoughts I can offer though, I'm an unmarried Brit, so I have a lack of experience of divorces in a country where they are a lot different. I wish you luck though, as the only breadwinner in a seemingly unfair relationship I hope you come out on top.
>Everything is proprietary!! that is our big advantage.

Do your customers care if it's proprietary or not? What about when there's a security breach and you can't upgrade to fix it? What if you can't even detect it?

> uses a data structure i call "Octo-tree" Outperforms any multidimensional...

premature optimization. There are dozens of bugs in it now. It doesn't help to move fast if you're moving in the wrong direction.
Price overhangs like you describe exist for a reason. Either the competition has some advantage that lets them price cheaper than Safeway, or they're subsidizing prices temporarily to gain market share. I'd be curious as to which industries you think are ripe for revolution due to price gouging.
amplified log playback works best in my experience.

of course, this requires at least some public traffic to play back. i've only used proprietary tools for this in my personal experience, but i believe jmeter has this functionality (log sampling).

There are superficial similarities. The main things that make Julia different than other dynamic languages are:

1. The expressive, sophisticated type system
2. Using multiple dispatch as its core paradigm
3. Extreme interoperability with C libraries
4. C-like performance

Of course, LuaJIT gets great performance too, so that's actually rather similar to Lua. Lua also isn't nearly as naturally suited to scientific programming.

It was due to my alma mater's (McGill) poor security, but IDs + some minor extra info like DOB were able to be used for a lot of stuff (if i recall correctly ID was the username with DOB as the default password and voila, you got free reign to everything from financial information and even withdrawing a person from Uni entirely) when I was in school.

It is mostly due to the trusting and insular nature of universities where they assume that there isn't going to be malicious attacks, but I can see why they rather not have that information given away.
I think the point is that Crunchbutton did in fact cease and desist all of these activities, and instead of working with them or at least letting them be, Brown's legal department is continuing to harass Crunchbutton.

Excellent post.

The first question I ask myself, as an engineer approaching a new problem, is "How can I cheat? What's the 90% solution that will take 10% of the time?" (The next question is, "Is 90% enough?").

I'm always surprised by engineers who don't think this way.
So, do you want to disrupt?
Sort of meta, but pretty much every article related to a google service will get a comment like this. It seems HN goes through these cycles where something gets a lot of attention and then every article even tangentially related gets at lease one boiler plate comment like this. It happened a lot a while back when "questions as headlines" was the hot topic to jump on. There'd always be that one person that'd be there to post the wikipedia link to the article about it. I see it when there's articles about animal intelligence. You'll get someone who posts that Hitchhiker's quote about dolphins. It's boring and a lot of times, those comments end up at the top of the thread.

Now to address your comment about Django. It supports Django, just fine[0]. The problem hasn't been with supporting Django, but supporting the Django ORM and that's merely because of the GAE data store. And that wasn't ever limited to GAE, you couldn't use it with any non relational data store. That problem seems to have been mitigated by the existence of django-nonrel[1], however.

I imagine Brown has some sort of student run "Student Services", e.g. fridge rentals, bagel deliveries, bouncers, etc..., and would welcome service such as yours if it were run by its own students.

> However, this kind of thinking would then require one to accept that property, like that car parked in the house, is property owned by the state and given as an privilege to someone they define as an owner.

This is a failure of logic. Even in the absense of a government, you would own your car--but you would have to personally defend that ownership at all times. The privilege that the state grants is security in your ownership: external protection from uncompensated use or taking. This is how intellectual property rights are analogous to other property rights. The government does not create or own the content; what they grant is protection from uncompensated use or taking of the content.
The restaurant in question is owned by the university. It's not a third party or anything else. So the university is perfectly in their rights to tell other people how they want to submit orders.
This is a great post. Back when I was a corporate developer doing .NET, I never had many side projects. Maybe just a library or simple utility to do things like move photos around.

Now as a developer primarily working in Ruby, I always feel the need to have a side project to hack on in addition to my day job. The side projects allow for unsafe experimentation with new technologies. After a reasonable amount of vetting, I find that I'm able to make better decisions in my day job as a result. I think most Ruby developers today work in a similar fashion.

The startups that I've worked for never had much concern about what I did in my personal time, but now that I'm working for an acquired company that's part of a big corporate entity, it's a little different. I get more of the looks, comments, etc and can't be as public about my side projects. Also I can't take the side projects as seriously (i.e. get paid subscribers) because that could jeopardize my employment. I'm okay with this for now, but I understand that many would find this appalling. I think you just have to find the right balance between what's good for you versus what's good for them.
Autism (along with all sorts of other things) isn't just 'a highly analytical mindset.' As you say, it has downsides. Which can be very unpleasant (and not just for other people, either).

The idea that we should all just learn to except everybody for who they are, which in my experience is often coupled with the idea that wanting to change yourself is bad, is an idea that I am not a fan of, to put it lightly. I've heard it directed at myself to often for that.
My guess is that the letter was sent because:
1) Crunchbutton was collecting student ID numbers, which rightfully raises security concerns;
2) This was a campus restaurant not open to the public, and the school has a legitimate interest in how it is used.

Again, a letter being sent doesn't mean a suit is being filed. The reason a lawyer sent it is because of the potential for legal issues, but by itself the letter has no more force than a "we don't want you to do this, please stop."

The article is devoid of any details and written to paint Crunchbutton in a good light. We have no idea what was actually on the website that prompted the letter. But if I were creating a delivery site for orders to a campus-operated restaurant to campus students, and collecting school ID's, I would think it pretty prudent to run it by the school, even if only for the potential security concerns.
I'm the author of the post and would be happy to discuss the ideas!
I don't doubt the abundance of bad behaviors. I was just doing a literal parse of your logic.
37yo here. Like you, I have met ridiculously smart, knowledgeable and young people and came to the conclusion that I am never ever going to be able to be like them. Heck!!! If I had not met them first hand, I would not have an idea how far the gap in front of me is.

But it seems that you do not seem to realize how far the gap behind yourself really is. If there is one capital sin in programmers, it has to be our hubris... and you seem rather humble to me. Of course it is possible that your self esteem is accurate, in which case you would be rather incompetent or at least mediocre. But if that was the case, how did you make it this far into the craft?

No, in my experience mediocre programmers don't go around thinking about "the pursuit of mastery". You really have to consider the possibility that you have a severe case of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impostor_syndrome! If that's the case I can only advice to keep going, do the best you can and not worry too much about comparing yourself with others.
This approach doesn't help. With highbrow and presumably rendr, you still have 'client side' & 'server side' components to your project. The 'server side' is typically just a JSON REST API. In our case, it uses mongoose to talk to mongodb. The 'client side' talks to the API and renders HTML; on first load it actually runs on the server. The client side uses Backbone.js models.

So you still need both backbone & mongoose/whatever validations if you want them both on the client & server side. In practice, the system is fast enough that server side validations may be sufficient.
Does anyone have any hard facts about this? eg. Versions of Apache that are vulnerable, which extensions, CVE numbers?

I'm also a big fan of side projects. Problem is, i'm a product guy, and the whole point of what I do is to try and make things people want. Not learn a new technology. I still haven't been able to find the right balance. Any advice?
He talked about this project back in January with Charlie Rose. http://www.fastcompany.com/3004361/a-conversation-charlie-ro...
I'm not sure if he went to one of these kinds of facilities, but my impression there is a reasonably competitive market in medical tourism: there are hospitals in Jordan that target themselves at enticing foreigners to fly there for treatment, and compete directly against similar hospitals in Thailand, India, and other places. They generally target an upmarket crowd, though, with some increasingly specializing to target Americans specifically. (I've noticed some of their websites attempt to delicately telegraph, "this is a hospital for you, well-off foreigner; don't worry, it's not full of locals.")
> ClojureScript [...] provides all of the same benefits.

That doesn't seem to be the case. Dart provides great tooling and you can also step-debug your code from within the IDE. The workflow with Dartium (Chromium with embedded Dart VM) is pretty neat. The performance of the generated JavaScript is pretty good, too. There are also Dart Web Components which give you custom tags (with shadow DOM) and two-way data-binding.

Finally, Dart, with its "boring" C-like syntax, is familiar to pretty much anyone.
My BS armchair psychiatric definition of ADD is that it was useful when our genetic forebears had to be "distracted" every minute or so to be aware of the need to attack or protect themselves or their social units.

It's one of those hypotheses that I don't have the intellectual honesty or rigor to follow up, but it's a simplifying lie that allows me to put it to the back burner. Selfish gene, blah blah.

Hello All,

Please take my comment as a comment and not legal guidance as any legal guidance needs to come from your own legal counsel based on our terms of service. But, that clause is in our ToS as App Engine is not built to be or regulated as a telecommunication service and as such anyone who would fall under telecommunication regulations would likely not pass an audit. I know that sounded cryptic but I'm trying to be as precise as possible without telling you what to do :)
