No offence, but that's the typical kind of comment coming from someone who's never actually tried multicursor functionality. The thing about multicursor is that it's seamlessly integrated not only with editor commands, but also with commands that create multicursors.

Examples:

- Cmd-Shift-L creates a cursor at the end of every line of the selected area.

- Find all, integrated with Regex, creates multicursors on every match.

- Once you get multicursors, you can still add some manually by holding down Cmd and double clicking at a cursor position.

After you get multicursors, you can then move them around using standard editor commands - that's the real power of this construct, since I'm able to match something much simpler than I actually want to edit (for example end/beginning of line), move to the meat, edit.
Well, that makes it all better then.
The term you're looking for is "mercenary company".
I agree, though I consider the dedicated GPU in the 15" Macbook Pro to be at the bottom end of "mid-range". :)

Nvidia's GPU model numbers go from, at low end, X10, to, at the high end X90. X50 is right in the middle.

Sorry, I just had to leave a comment here, because I found my Nvidia integrated GPU in my 2009 13" Macbook Pro woefully inadequate for CUDA computation.
When I look at his Flare template, there's just too much big text. The submit button, the login to flare, register here, you don't have an account, and the site logo. These all look the same size to me and I don't know where to focus my eyes.

Keep in mind, I'm by no means a designer and have no idea what I'm talking about.
Sorry, I meant 8-bit with alpha channels. The four commands are for Fireworks, I have no idea how to do the same in photoshop. PS is miles better for pixel-pushing, but that doesn't make of suitable for a web design workflow.
Google's purchase of DoubleClick seems to be considered a huge success. I'm curious how the $750M purchase of AdMob is seen in the company. Does anybody have an insight or references?
How many people do you think are VP's at Google? A few hundred at most? $X million per year is normal for a big co VP. This isn't like a bank were every teller or saleman is called VP.

He is a One-percenter at the top of the Google pyramid.
Equally plausible to the 'providing value' theory are several possible scenarios of externalities that can't be mentioned without asbestos underwear. And as for thinking about how many jobs a person is enabling, we'll just call that the 'dear leader' argument.

That's not out of line with what F500 CEOs get paid. Heck, Jamie Dimon's peak comp was double that and JPM is a $100 billion/year organization.
Stanford nearly shut down Google when it was still operating out of the campus network.

It's not unusual to be in legal gray zones when you're in the humble beginnings of a startup (in the parents' garage, say).

They have to say things like "no running servers" and "no commercial use" because of the lawyers, but I doubt Google's own employees would let the Fiber team live it down if they found out a legitimate startup had been disconnected for a frivolous violation of their ToS.
"Vote with your dollars. Your TAX dollars."
Kind of a long way of describing that big company big wigs get paid a lot of money, and it isn't really a big issue because no worker bee is as irreplaceable.

He knows a lot of similarly well placed people and knows a lot of Google's business which competitors would be interested to learn about (nothing informal on paper of course), and like a tin pot dictatorship, stability is better than churn, regardless of whether the stable leaders are amazingly good or not.
What's deeply ironic is the modern internet is bankrolled by brand trademark monopolies, but programmed by a bunch of people who complain about government-granted monopolies...

There's a quote from the 1950's from a judge very skeptical of extending trademark law to the effect of "we shouldn't allow building brands too much, because then people will buy things for reasons other than product quality and that'll undermine competition in the marketplace by making products non-fungible."

I personally like monopolies,[1] so it's cool with me, but you have to wonder what the internet would look like if Adidas sold shoes and not "footwear experiences."

[1] There is no profit in perfectly competitive industries, and thus no money to do cool stuff. That's why, e.g., Microsoft is so screwed. It keeps hoping for innovation out of companies like Acer, Lenovo, Asus, etc, that have profit margins of just a few %.
Some people might be happier if more of the hundred millionaires walked out to pillage flailing competitors. It isn't obvious that VP retention is good for morale.

But it would be cool if Larry Page said "your old org, from intern to director, says you are the the grease in our money machine, we will always pay you more than any one else would offer, and we want you to find out how high we can reward you"
Lovely plan

Hi! I love it when people who are not in CS who is looking towards going to do an internship with software. I'm one of them and I'll try to summarize my experiences so far. Maybe this will help you. :)

I'm currently an aerospace engineering student (undergraduate, first year) and I'm going to be interning with Mozilla during this summer. I've also gotten offers from others and have applied to even more. While I don't have a lot of experiences just yet, here's what I've seen so far:

1. Make sure you have lots of projects. If at any point something bothers you about your life. Write a program to fix it for you and make it available for others. If there is a weekend when you have nothing to do, make something cool and push it out there. I cannot stress this enough, as a) the process of creating an usable product teaches you lots, b) it makes your portfolio look good, c) someone may find your thing useful and actually use it, and d) companies really like to see that you can actually build something. Another thing you could do is if you use something daily and there are bugs in them, go fix them.

2. Push everything to Github. If you made something that you don't plan to sell, push it to github. You can reference it during interviews and what not. A company that interviewed me actually went through my github account prior to meeting with me.

3. Get a portfolio. Register yourname.com and put up a professional looking portfolio. A technical blog would be nice, have all the showcase there. Github pages is very popular, wordpress is also a good option.

4. Know your basic data structures and algorithms. This one is very important. Since we are not CS people, we probably didn't see a lot of the data structures and algorithms, especially not in depth. In fact, the lack of knowledge of a minheap made me lose an opportunity for an internship position (now I know minheaps really well, as that interview session taught me it). I recommend going through something like the book Cracking The Coding Interviews[1] and see what you lack and work on those.

5. Just be confident. Don't think that it is a problem that you're not in CS. The companies I talked to all asked me about me being in aerospace and it seems like they're more intrigued rather than repulsed (in fact one of the interviewers I had from Mozilla was a biology major).

I enjoyed this article, but it's worth pointing out that this safety net exists in any tech-heavy city.

Anyone who knows one of the web development stacks that are currently in vogue could have a job in Austin tomorrow (if tomorrow weren't Sunday). Has the author lived in any of the other cities he mentioned or asked people if the same phenomenon exists there?

I find Hal Abelson's book Turtle Geometry [1] fascinating. It describes a dialect of Logo (the graphical routines could probably be implemented relatively easily in Python/Tkinter or Tcl/Tk or something like Processing).

Once the basics are described, then it uses them to go on to explore things like non-euclidian geometry (and maybe topology?).

I suppose I can't really speak for everybody but as a 20-something the story a lot of my friends and I had in common was programming our TI calculators. The language was simple (some might say...basic ba dum chh), it was easy to share programs with friends as text or via link and you had a built in packed audience of folks in classes that thought the things you figured out how to do were really cool. We started with simple school problem based programs then went on to more complicated things and then some went on to learn some c or assembly etc.

I think perhaps we might not be starting programming with computers directly all the time, but perhaps there will always be some object that younger folks will learn to program. Heck maybe the next kids will decide to program phones or connected home appliances or something.

Everyone should keep this in mind. I find the Nigerian scammer-scammer stories entertaining because of the vigilantism, but it's perverse entertainment knowing that many of the scammers are driven to it by desperation. Likewise, I got a kick out of this article, but we don't know the thief's personal situation. The author handled the situation fairly and doesn't revel in the revenge, but vigilantism and revenge is the reason the article goes viral.
Reading this, his compensation is the least amazing part. If this article is true, it should have been titled "A Story Of Competence". Does anyone have any doubt the guy is generating Google this money many times over? It's simple math. It has nothing to do with curing cancer, economical equality or anything else. He's something that's worth X and pays back many X.

I can understand why this comes as a shock to some; it may be difficult to accept that another person doing his 9-5 job can bring so much value to a company. I always suspected such value creators exist (Jobs would be one).

So good for him for delivering, and good for Google for acknowledging and compensating accordingly. And good for me too; I'm taking my first steps as an advertiser with Google and I'm really liking what I'm finding so far.
Why do people use NFS in this decade, when we have stuff like FUSE to put a file API on top of reliable networking tools?

What you say is the best, safest, right thing to do.

It's not what very many at all in the U.S. do though -- even those who think in the abstract that they wouldn't talk to the authorities without taking to a lawyer first (or at all) -- end up doing so. In part because the authorities are pretty expert at getting you to talk to them (by intimidation or persuasion).

But the more you think about it in advance and prepare, the more likely you can remember to exersize your rights.

I can't say for France, but in the U.S., remember NOT, ever, to talk to the authorities without talking to a lawyer first. It's really hardly ever going to make things better for you or your friends and loved ones. Don't talk to the cops.

Very cool. But please don't use it. The de-facto architecture design proposed by the Android team is to use fragments for view separation. In my own app development workflow, I have not used multiple activity design for a really long time now. This is what you lose with external routing:
1. Better multiple screen size support: By housing all the fragments in one activity, you have control to hide/show/re-size fragments according to need since you have now have the fragment stack data in one activity. An external router doesn't make sense now, since the internal routing would still need to be handled by the activity. And if you write a router even for the internal stuff, then you need to address other concerns such as: backstack and bundles.
2. Single Top Activities: The Android app stack may have multiple instances of the same activity. When you route with a data path (user/id/1) which activity are you referring to? The Intent and PendingIntent classes have been developed over the years to face such weird idiosyncrasies of the platform.
3. Action Modes: The action mode api helps to create contextual actions. It gives you a nice separation of concern through callbacks. This glues the activity with fragments well. In two calls you setup a fragment and its contextual menus. With external routing you lose that or you handle it with more glue code.

I agree there are some cosmetic advantages through external routing, but develop any non-trivial Android app and you will find out, it's not always a good idea to fight the framework. In some cases maybe it is, for e.g this cool project: https://github.com/mitmel/SimpleContentProvider.
Java is already too verbose. Wiring an external router means
handling a lot of concerns yourself. Not cool.

Hacking things is good, but for some things, there just is no shortcut. Getting strong is not something you can hack. You need to do progressive resistance training using compound movements and consume a large amount of protein. That's it. There are different methods for achieving this, and they are not all equally good, but if you ask someone who is legitimately strong, they can point you to a proven routine.

If there's any "hacking" left to be done in this space, it's probably diet-related (nutrient timing techniques like intermittent fasting, carb back-loading, etc) and not workout-related.

My friends died in their late thirties / early forties. I don't know all the details. One guy's liver gave out - another got into pills and I'm not sure what else. I don't know what killed the others, just that alcohol was contributor.

Stories like these are not uncommon. CDC says alcohol kills 80K people annually.
In my assembly and computer architecture class (CSC 236 at NC State University), the instructor grades us on efficiency - sometimes it's the number of instructions written, sometimes instructions executed. Additionally, he posts the all-time efficiency records for each program.

The end result is that I am now addicted to assembly programming. There's so many clever tricks you can use, like:

* Manipulating the addresses your code assembles at so that the addresses in a jump table can overlap.

* Using `lea` on data values to convert ASCII numbers to their normal equivalent while in motion.

* Making a 128KB lookup table.

* Unrolling all the loops in the program.

* Reusing as many registers as possible (including using bx as a frame pointer) just so you don't have to pop them.

And when you're studying your code, and you suddenly have the flash of inspiration about how to make it faster, there's this feeling of, "Oh, that's so brilliant, but so evil..."

(Of course, then you have to debug it all. :-P)
Nah, community wiki is no longer used for questions except in special cases.
I'm teaching my kids to read and write both english and code this way. Something magical happens when you "store and forward" that doesn't happen just with reading and writing drills.

My pet theory is that it has something to do with information compression in the brain, kind of like Huffman coding, except you keep the table for life.
As masklinn notes, the operating ceiling is 7500 meters (for which there is an efficiency hit). So long as the city is not too far inland, this outperforms air freight in all ways on paper.
It's reasonably likely that a good chunk of the $100m will end up going to charity, which would go a lot further toward curing cancer or whatever the charity is focused on.
Wikipedia says $400.
I don't agree with any of the points - that you'll necessarily work on interesting stuff at a startup, that a big company means you'll not work on interesting stuff, or that startups form a safety net. Glass, Kinect, AWS and iOS devices are pretty interesting, and they all occurred inside of a large company.

In contrast, I remember a lot of dealing with server crashes, browser incompatibilities and other painful and boring stuff when I worked at startups. It also seems like many of my startup co-workers who were older than about age 35 seem to have disappeared off the face of the earth.
Does any who's not just speculating know why these aren't used today for fast overseas transport between cities which aren't too far inland? The relevant wikipedia section is pretty lacking.

> imo all processed items are bad

And this is the point where I see the problem with 'diet advice' given online (and not online, too, but a lot of it is online): It's overbroad and not broad enough, because it focuses on the wrong things. Bread is processed, but saying bread is bad is idiotic on its face. Meats are largely unprocessed, but a diet that's all meat is not a weight loss plan unless you live in the high Arctic and/or are doing an immense amount of exercise.

No food is bad in and of itself. It might be unhelpful in achieving a certain goal, but it is not bad. Trying to pigeonhole foods into 'good' and 'bad runs into the basic fact all foods are made of the same components and every component has its use. Yes, even fats. Yes, even carbohydrates.

It's possible to lose weight eating Twinkies in massive amounts. It even improved cholesterol levels.

I actually design wireless devices for a living and in my opinion, this is mostly bad advice.

The best bet it to switch to 5GHz, but that isn't practical for use with mobile devices.

Option B is to turn off the higher speed modes like 802.11n. Just try to stick with 11g. If you are still having connection problems, maybe switch down to 11b, but that will be real slow even when it works.

If you use an access point with detatchable antennas (which is actually most of them if you open the cover), then maybe replace the omni-directional antenna with a high-gain directional antenna (also known as a patch antenna). Then you'll need to point the antenna at where you sit.

Another (probably lousy) option to try (but very quick and cheap) is to move off of the commonly used WiFi channels (1, 6, 11). They are commonly used because they don't overlap with each other. So maybe try 4 or 9. The downside is that you will get interference from two commonly used channels, but the overall situation may be better than what you've got now.

> to "counterfeit" bitcoins you need as much computational power as a majority of the swarm.

Actually, to the same effect you could use a bug in bitcoind, control of the view-of-the-swarm (network access) by the processing merchant, an implementation issue, or a careful double spend. Bitcoin is exceptionally hard to implement well for merchants, particularly those with near real-time requirements, and it's not getting any easier.
