The code comes out looking the same; Paredit helps manage the parentheses for you (especially the closing ones, which it inserts automatically).
To some extent, the pay scale is relative. SF is very, very expensive. You can earn far less in another city, yet enjoy a higher quality of life.

edit: to answer your question, I don't know. You might find this interesting though:

We played the Beer Distribution Game @ MIT to simulate this phenomenon. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_Distribution_Game) While my initial reaction is to shudder at the thought of a Raisin Czar, I gotta say that I'm not sure it's a bad idea after seeing how out of control long time constant supply chains can become.
Nobody said it was perfect. It's a shame that a decent escrow service doesn't exist.

I'm at a community college (because I have no money, not because I'm stupid) and am presently trying to transfer to two "elite" schools. One says pretty explicitly that they don't guarantee that they meet full need for transfers, even though they brag about it for their 18 year old freshman applicants. The other seems more welcoming, but I'm still nervous. I don't know if I've gotten into them or not, either. I can barely afford $3500/year tuition for a community college, much less something way above that while also paying to move and live in another state. (Luckily I got 2 science scholarships to cover my CC tuition for the 2012-2013 year, but I still have to worry about food and rent. The maximum amount of stafford loan I can take out is barely enough to live on, even as an independent student.)

Is it all right to ask what Ivy you went to? Is it the same as the school associated e-mail in your profile?
Fair point; I assumed it was given it redirects to github.com.
Now Joe will create a domain service that offers to register all the typos surrounding your startup brand at a discounted price and automatically sets up these cool transitions using some clever Hamming distance stuff. Or just licenses the tech from SRI. Luckily for Joe the market is huge for this, just look at the names in the latest YC batch. We're seeing the full effect of Moore's Law on the ways to mistype the latest trendy app.

Joe is going to disrupt the precision address bar typing market. "It's Autocomplete, but for URLs!"
OP here. I was typing GH into my URL bar and noticed (before I hit enter) that I had typed hitgub.com. I laughed and thought to myself "I should register that!"

Then I hit enter, expecting to get an error, and was quite surprised to see that GitHub had beaten me to the punch. Kudos to them for protecting that typo from a domain squatter.
Thanks for the lecture. System restore, for a variety of reasons, wasn't going to help me here. I was able to troubleshoot and restore my system to normal without system restore. Not to mention had I installed LibreOffice again, the issue would have reappeared - system restore would not have helped.
No surprise. Android isn't Gnu compliant either so according to the FSF we should be using nothing.
Buy a non-Nexus and non-Motorola Android phone, install CyanogenMod or AOKP, and (optionally) install a non-Play Store app store. (This is all fairly quick and simple to do with recent-ish major Samsung phones, at the very least.)

Or wait until an Ubuntu phone comes out.

(EDIT: For clarification, I am NOT saying any of this would be RMS-friendly, just a bit more open and less privacy-invasive than the norm right now.)
I use what I like. I currently like the iPhone.
>>Another advantage to Litecoin is you don't see it in the news everyday with the words 'Drugs' and 'Blackmarket' beside it...

You should qualify that with the word "yet". Is there anything in Litecoin's design that doesn't allow it to be used for drugs and by black markets? No. Honestly, Litecoin doesn't even have that going for it. Acceptance as an actual currency is the difference between a cryptocurrency becoming a legitimate investment versus a speculative pump-and-dump scheme.
Why not both?

I invested in a payment system of the future.

If it ends up being used, I'll have (however many I invested in) BTC to spend, which could be worth significantly more or less than I paid for them.

If it ends up being useless, I'll lose my principal.

I think we can "officially" use triquel or parabola linux on lemote PCs...and that's about it.
I found out about my current employer (Monetate) through a HN "Who's Hiring" post, and we've hired several other developers who first heard about us here. I agree with OP that HN readers have a reputation for quality, and I'm surprised that he's seeing so many low-effort responses. I've seen several employers set up "nerd hurdles" that require potential applicants to do something that takes a modicum of effort (and talent) before they can apply -- e.g. coding challenges. Maybe that can help weed out less-serious applicants.
Meh. Just because it is easy to commit copyright infringement due to the increasing presence of highspeed internet doesn't mean that it should now just become legal to download your entertainment when you want, where you want, and for exactly how much you want.
> I don't know what you mean by mothballware. Care to elaborate?

On reflection, it's a pretty lame term I tried to coin there. I was looking for something that expressed the idea that after a certain period of time, accounts that weren't dormant would need paying for before in order to be used properly again, so a bit like them being mothballed (https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=define%3A%20mothballed) and unmothballed when eventually paid for.

Like I said, lame term. Am sure there's a better word out there that'll come to me when my head is clear.
>Due to the nature of this update, a scheduled time is not possible.

What, it takes place outside of linear time?

This crap is unacceptable. Even my $2.00 shared host tells me when they're going to take down my site without asking.
And I've been thinking this whole time that Github were registered through a more elitist and upmarket domain registrar, haha. In all seriousness though, considering all of the mayhem a little while ago with GoDaddy supporting SOPA and the CEO being caught killing an elephant in Zimbabwe I am surprised that Github didn't move domain registrars when the uproar was in full-swing. Maybe the chance of downtime was too much for them to risk.
With a Nexus banded phone you can build your own Rom from source if you wanted.
Even at the time the laws were harmful and unconstitutional. Many people were barely able to afford food or even going hungry, and meanwhile the government was doing everything it could to raise the prices further and reduce production.
RMS says the Ubuntu dash is made of spyware, so that's not quite kosher either.
Look at it a different way. You have $20,000 cash. It's yours, in your hand. It looks like it's your last $20,000. Do you want to invest it in your employer's company or yourself?
It's strange that Zediva was engaged in public performance when it streamed a single DVD playback to a single viewer, but Cablevision was not engaged in a public performance when it streamed a single DVR's contents to a single viewer.
Easy, all It takes decades of lobbyists crafting ever more lengthily, ever more broad, and ever more draconian Copyright legislation.
Can we make a trade? Who's Hiring posts will have a clause that says, "Sorry, but we're only looking for folks willing to relocate to X. Don't contact otherwise", in exchange you get better emails? Sounds fair to me.
But that is exactly the point - this patch isn't open source (at the moment). It's closed source and is being given to preferred "customers". If it was really open source then we wouldn't have this problem.

I'm not an expert in this field but it seems like the proper thing to do would be to announce a release date that gives everyone sufficient time to prepare and then give it to everyone.
Seconding this - was going to post it as well. Fun reading.
>Don't even consider interning part time during the school year

Agreed for undergrads, but part-time internships are great if you're doing a masters. I spent an academic year doing research (most people did their masters thesis research in 1-4 months of full-time work) while I worked part-time at the same place I did my summer internship. Industry pay let me make a phd's salary (i.e. just enough to eke by) with just 12 hours a week of work. It was the best year of my life. I had plenty of free time to enjoy and improve myself (I got in great shape, met interesting people, read a lot) when it was socially acceptable to live like that.

BTW I completely agree on NYC. Moving here from the west coast has its costs, but has been one of the most personally enriching decisions I've ever made.

Asteroid 2012 DA14: Stories and Scientific Analysis
Sadly, social media widgets have been undoing a lot of forward progress to this end. "Modern" websites are littered with tiny little iframes that suck in massive DOMs from external sources. We don't have the navigation issues but they look ugly, they're completely inflexible (often with developers resorting to magic number px-based layouts to get them looking right) and they're horribly inefficient. And then there are the privacy implications!

With Twitter's upcoming API changes, we're going to be seeing even more of them: it used to be possible for web developers with taste to make their own (decent looking) tweet stream widgets. Soon enough that'll be unreasonably difficult, so they'll be forced to use Twitter's ugly (and inflexible) iframe thing.

So, yeah, not feeling the satisfying blast of nostalgia here :(
C'mon down to Chicago. Sure it's cold but you'll probably make the same money and live for much less. That's why I'm here instead of there ;)
Ok that makes sense. I thought they were using this as a replacement for filtering out pictures with clouds.
Is anyone aware of cases where the government - whether local, state or federal - has reached out positively to a small company in violation of laws or statutes? The 'Progress & Persist' notice should actually be a thing, especially in a city with as much innovation as San Francisco.

I would also be curious to find out which areas of the world have governmental bodies that actively try to seek and promote innovation.
How do you apply?

I thought it might be that, except Kerbal certainly does elliptical orbits, and you'd actually have to work rather hard not to, because a basic integrator hooked up to the 1/r^2 law of gravitational attraction gives you elliptical orbits for free.

We agree. At the end of the day, the SFO (and all regulatory authorities) have a valid job to do. It is reasonable for them to ask us to come to the table. But doing so in a positive way would be so much better. If it is possible anywhere, it is possible in the valley!

This is a great example of exactly the kind of opinion-setting Bruce is talking about. I think it's pretty clear that services like Google are hardly optional in this day in age, especially when it comes to making a living i.e. eating, which brings us right back to the feudalism allegory.

There's nothing to disagree with in the OP's comment or your comment. Because they are just refusing to accept any of the facts of the article. It's pointless to engage you because you will never try to directly refute evidence, but will instead attempt to distract and dramatize. I've seen this rhetorical style a million times; it's very formulaic.

This kind of head-in-the-sand, denial-comment like the OP is exactly the same rhetorical style that Israel used in the Lebanon war on Reddit. Is the OP an actual agent with opinion setting agenda? Does it matter? Our only option is to be aware of common fallacious argument methods, and do our research.
How much evidence do you need? Our entire and sole business is this thing you are about to injunct. Do they have to prove they don't also grow magical money trees?
I can't believe so many people fell for this.
> The problem lies with believing that you're entitled to a successful, non-threatened business model. The problem lies with believing that the law should be changed primarily to protect your business model.

Nobody is entitled to a non-threatened business model. At the same time, Congress is entitled to limit unfair competition and free-riding off peoples' work, and in this case it has seen fit to do so. That's the crucial distinction that anti-copyright folks ignore. This isn't just about protecting a business model from technological change. It's about protecting a business model against a different business model: profiting from selling content you didn't create and didn't pay for.

It would be one thing if nobody wanted to watch big-budget Hollywood movies anymore, and MPAA were lobbying for laws to shut down P2P and Youtube so indie content producers couldn't distribute the movies that people did want to watch. But that's not what's happening here. Demand for Hollywood movies has never been higher, and despite a total lack of legal roadblocks, indie content has not become popular hardly at all.

What's happening is that companies like Youtube and Aereo, etc, have figured out there is profit to be made by being middle-men between the big-budget Hollywood content people demand and the consumers. Ideally, for them, there would be no copyright so they could get content for free attract viewers to peddle their advertising to.

It's one thing to prop up your business model against technological obsolescence that eliminates demand for your product. It's another thing to protect your rights against people free-riding on your creations, creations for which demand is higher than ever.

> For example, if I set up a stand on a street corner that creates an amazing aromas, it would not suddenly become my right to charge passersby for smelling these aromas, even though they are "mine".

But could you sue someone for putting up a big fan to blow the aroma into the air and charging people to stand in front?
This seems a natural consequence of bitcoin's adoption and growth. I see virtually no barriers to entry here, no limit to the number of competing currencies that could be introduced, and as a result no real value to bitcoins. How long can one cryptocurrency expect to be allowed to grow before another comes along and dilutes the market? What factors prevent the average consumer from considering them substitutes? Bitcoins and competing currency are fundamentally similar. They vary only in retail and consumer adoption. I can't make sense of this bitcoin hype.
For a lot of people, it's not just tuition though. You'd probably double or triple your calculated cost there if you included cost of living, which is something a lot of disadvantaged students have to worry about. Plus, if you have crappy parents, you'll only get $3500-5,500/year or so in stafford student loans, if you are even lucky enough to have access to their financial info (which many parents will refuse to give). That's enough for a community college, but not anywhere close to enough to afford even the cheapest state school.

It's also incredibly hard to qualify for a pell grant. I wasn't able to work for health reasons last year, and the best I could get even while unemployed was $900/semester.

I didn't qualify for anything during the six years I was a dependent student. (Which is a huge part of why I wasn't able to be a student at all during that time.)

This is the same battle that broadcasters fought against cable companies in the 60's and 70's, when cable companies basically sold access to a large antenna some miles away through their coaxial: their primary customers often lived in places where television signals did not reach (valleys, etc).

Everything about this rubs me the wrong way: from PBS fighting it to there even _being_ a market for Aereo (it shouldn't be necessary, given modern technology).

Power Automation Systems (PAS) builds large scale customized material handling systems, which is a fancy way of saying highly automatic warehouses. Think "reinventing the way things are done in an industry where everything was 'solved' already" and you're on the right track. PAS is looking for a skilled automation engineer.

The automation engineer (AE) will design, develop, configure, and implement complex control strategies and applications & integrate them with existing systems at our customer’s facilities. The AE reports to the Director of Automation, which is to say the person would have a high degree of responsibility.

We're especially looking for someone who knows how to communicate and build a team. If you're experienced at coaching and mentoring, that's a huge plus too. Since we help customers all over the world, there will be some travel involved.

If you are interested in making things move -- and are familiar with databases like SQL Server; experienced with PLC; field IO devices; and ERP or WMS -- please get in touch with us.

This is an extremely interesting industry in which the right software leader could really a lasting change for the better.

Contact mike.terrill@pas-us.com for more. We're looking forward to it.

Sure. I have been musing over building a website for a long time. I knew that to build something new was difficult. So I wanted to build something cleaner, faster and simpler than other people. News is the number one thing that people often seek on the internet, and thus, that is the path I went down. Originally, it was just a site that I created as a hobby for myself to view, but as i progressed, quite a few people liked it, and then Google Reader died, and I thought, this would be a good opportunity.

I think even parody is too much attention in this case.

People are going to rearrange processes, to produce the same things, for infinite generations to come. Probably best if you focus on what's getting produced, not who has the tomato, because the process is going to be something else in five or 25 years but you're still going to have to produce.

Users don't care what happened to the tomato.
Good idea. I find it interesting to track # followers of http://twitter.com/bitrific and http://twitter.com/btcprice. Probably lots of other accounts too worth following. But good correlation vehicles nevertheless.
I had no idea what a PSAT was until I showed up in the morning one day and they shoved it in front of me at 7AM in the morning. I'd gotten 2 hours of sleep and was a wreck because of my difficult home life and felt like I was going to throw up.

I later found out that I'd missed national merit by 2%, and that the PSAT was something that people with supportive families were not only told about ahead of time, but actively prepared for, sometimes even taken the -real- SAT as practice. I wish I'd known, or that the counselors had told me that it was something important. I do very well on standardized tests, and I'm sure that if I'd gotten at least 4-6 hours of sleep I'd have made NMS quite easily.
