Excellent concept, and it works great.

Often you overcomplicate implementation by thinking about the right way from the start, and while this is a good thing to do in general, sometimes it gets in your way. I like to think of the simplest possible way to write it (not necessarily the "worst" but just the simplest). Then you have something, anything at all, and you can go from there.

My ex-coworker always said "Make it work, then make it good, then make it fast." Good rule of thumb that has taken me pretty far in code productivity.
I've outlined the steps here: http://blog.zachmichaelov.com/2013/04/light-table-on-os-x-10...
Apple's New Organizational Structure Could Help It Move Faster
By performing approximately 105 hours in basic computer repair, from which I pivoted to...

Nearly doubling that rate for "consultation" for larger companies, from which I pivoted to...

Dumping about $15k of savings (made possible by a dramatic increase in income tied with a continued frugal lifestyle) in to an "enterprise" startup, which made well over $10k in the first sale (took about three months).
Blind comparison of imprisonment rates is misleading when you ignore confounding variables like income, geographic distribution, parental age and marital status.
The Dutch word "lol" made a round trip back to its original meaning. Whoever told the world "lol" stands for "laughing out loud" lied through their teeth.
Three words: at will employment. It's a two-way street. If you can dump someone at the drop of a hat, then they can do the same to you. Nothing personal. If your company sucks and that means the good people leave and you're left with only the people who have no other options, well try sucking less.

Were things different back in the day? Maybe, due to certain structural differences. There were pensions, which tied employees to the long term futures of their companies. There was investment in training new recruits. There was promotion from within. Today, by and large none of those things exist. Companies, even ones who have the resources and should no better, are more interested in finding someone already trained (and griping about how they can't find them) than investing in training new people (and of course they fail to realize the correlation between the two phenomenon). They prefer to bring outside people into management/executive functions instead of promoting from within.
Loyalty is not owed, it is earned. If an employer does a sufficiently good job of employing me on number of different fronts then I am inclined to give said employer the benefit of the doubt when I perceive that things have become non-ideal for me in a short, medium or perhaps even longer term.

If however an employer wants a business-only relationship with me that is fine. It should expect that my loyalty will be guided solely with my best interests in mind on all time-scales and without regard for how this may impact the employer/business.

Therac-25 was designed to cure people, not kill them (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therac-25). If we are talking about software that is used in drones or missiles, that is a different matter, and one that the oath should address.
Thank you for performing a valuable public service because we need to have the facts first before having a discussion about the implications. I read an article around the same time about the claim by Julian Assange that the internet is a threat to civilization, and thought your work tied in nicely as a cautionary warning about the path we are currently on. http://www.salon.com/2013/04/30/tk_5_partner_15/singleton/

"if we are wasting the potential intellectual capacity of our young"

What if we have more capacity that we can use? WRT to half of STEM grad not working in STEM and all that. You don't need a chemist at the local factory anymore when the factory moves to China.

The other thing is its a balance. Destroy an innocent life, vs the school administrators saved the school from terrorism, the prosecute saved the public from terrorism, the profitable prison industrial complex will make money off her...
> the odds that an American will go to prison are relatively high.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_incarceration_ra...)

That "relatively" is important.

(In 2009)

US: 743 per 100,000
Russia: 577 per 100,000
China: 120 per 100,000
Canada: 117 per 100,000

Compared to other countries the chances of an American going to prison are higher, even though the chances overall are quite low.
My question was more rhetorical, but thanks for the reference.

Until the US misses a debt payment, it should still have maintained its credit rating.
Support or GPL source?
For GPL or open source complaints, we actually watch a pretty large number of sources for this (gpl violations mailing lists, various open source mailing lists, G+ posts, twitter, etc).
If you email legal@google, it will get to me, but they may take a little time. In fact, most normal support channels will get there, they just may take a few forwards to end up in my inbox.

I haven't heard that people have had difficulty getting source (because we try to be proactive about it), so I haven't set up an alternate method of contact specifically for it (and in most cases, i'd rather just fix whatever process is broken).

In the short term, the easiest way is to just email me at dannyb@

Longer term, maybe i'll create opensource-requests@ or something.

The only caveat i'll mention is that Motorola is run as a completely separate subsidiary, so I can't guarantee quick answers/solutions if you are having issues with Moto. Not that I can't help, but in practice, because the companies are run separately, it involves beating up people that don't work for me
Comical headline.
Only if you want the C6/C7 states, which are the really low power draw ones. If you're the kind of person who builds your own PC, it's unlikely you really care about saving a few watts while in sleep. At worst, you'll get Ivy Bridge-level power consumption.
Just use Chrome... Boom, Adobe is no longer your problem.
Makes sense. So basically this is DI for adapters/gateways?
Very nice, minimalist, design. Just throwing this out there, but having you considered adding syntax highlight modes, like emacs? This could be a great, non-threatening text editor for new programmers.
So, indeed this can happen if you're white - as shown by the person I was just replying to. Let's go with that for a moment: The nasty gotcha-part of this is that while it may or may not happen completely randomly with no particular concentration on minorities, the way out of the situation is not equally accessible.
Since minorities tend to have less financial resources(for reasons we'll avoid talking about right now), they're much less likely to have a lawyer like psutor's parents had.
If both me & him got a felony charge thrown at us, he'd get out of it. I don't think my parents could afford a lawyer at that time.
This is kind of an important element. Even if whites & blacks get charged with the same frequency(and I don't believe that), the chances of the white(or asian) family having the money to get a lawyer to fight are much higher.
Kinda like how kids of rich families can kill people in a drunk driving incident and get away with little consequence. Money and race have an impact on the how severe your punishment will be for a particular crime and even the probability that your crime will be reported in the first place.
Amazon - Seattle WA

I'm looking for a Business Intelligence Engineer that can be my coworker in the Amazon Supply Chain. We coordinate with multiple software teams on hard problems, in a complex Systems Oriented Architecture, with huge opportunities for savings (We speak in $M, not $k). A business-focused intuition is a must, but we also require strong technical skills and an ability to understand how our software models a huge supply chain. We use many different tools for the job: Linux/ZSH, SQL, R, Ruby, Java, Optimization solvers, Geospatial tools/libraries, and pretty much anything else that gets the job done (don't forget email and telephones). We aren't afraid of digging deep into details like log files, but we also aren't afraid of working with datasets that range in the hundreds of billions of rows.

If that sounds like a domain you are interested in, contact me: tooned||amazon<>com

I personally decided to use a local file after all.

Pros:

+ I can cache it for a very long time, so all my returning visitors don't have re-download it. I was very surprised to see that CDN's jquery had a very short 'Expire' headers

+ If my server is up and users can open a web page - there's a very high chance that the .js file will load as well.

+ I can combine different jquery libraries/plugins into one file, so my page can load MUCH faster

Cons:

- It might load a little more slowly, because it's not on CDN.

Am I missing something?
I was at Cal in the early 2000s when Professor McWhorter was teaching there. I never took one of his classes, but I'd attend with friends who did as often as possible, sometimes standing room only.

If you ever get a chance to hear Professor McWhorter speak, take it; it'll be worth your time. He's brilliant and entertaining.
In this report from 2008, black students in Florida were two and a half times more likely to be arrested, referred to court, and waived to adult courts:

http://www.iamforkids.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Promise...

In particular, black Florida youth were almost twice as likely to be referred to adult courts as white youth.

I knew about DWB (driving while black) but apparently, LWB (learning while black) is a "thing" too:

http://www.time.com/time/education/article/0,8599,238611,00....

Quote:

A study [...] reports that black students, although they made up just 30% of the population of Miami-Dade County public schools in 2000-01, accounted for half the school arrests in that district.
Came here to say almost exactly this; of course, people being people, TIFF won't be "good enough", where "good enough" is either 1) invented in house (NIH syndrome), or 2) monetizable (TIFF is too open/not proprietary enough).
That was my first thought too. Almost went looking too see if it was the same creators, a "rebrand" or something like that.
Sick of the recruiting industry? Want to make it better and help great companies continue to grow?

Here at Entelo we believe that a primary barrier to growth for most companies is the difficulty associated with discovering and assessing talent. Entelo helps make proactive recruiting more efficient and effective and is currently helping fast-growth companies like Square, Yelp, and Box grow their teams.

-Our current stack includes Ruby, Rails, Scala, MySQL, MongoDB, Resque, and elasticsearch and other big data technologies.

-We're also contributing to open source as much as we can (e.g. https://github.com/gip/resque-telework) and eventually plan to have open source contributions that don't start with "tele". :)

-In addition to Github we're using Asana internally to manage projects and we operate in a very flexible way.

-We provide competitive compensation, generous benefits, a beautiful office working environment in the Mission (SF) and catered lunches. We're backed by Battery Ventures and Menlo Ventures.

For Sales we're looking for people with:

-Experience selling to enterprise customers, particularly SMBs

-Evidence of outstanding performance (e.g. exceeding quotas, sales awards)

-Prior experience with recruiting or selling to recruiters

For Marketing we're looking for people with:

-Experience creating wonderful, educational content for business professionals

-A proven track record of scaling various marketing channels and analyzing ROI on marketing spend

-Ability to implement an maintain an analytical marketing framework that expands and improves conversion at each stage of the funnel

No lock in because we don't get pensions at all. Not exactly a benefit.
The question is whether reacting to peaks identified this way can be helpful or not. If you have hundreds of thousands of metrics, how many peaks get detected per minute and how many of those indicate something that actually requires attention?
When I was in middle school, I had a few science teachers who would actually show us how to make bombs during experiments. We made and set off a few dry ice bombs, and at one point we were mixing chemicals and our teacher said "watch this" and proceeded to mix something with something else which set off an explosion similar to a shotgun blast, shattering the test tube holding the mixture - much to the excitement of us students. What a great way to demonstrate the laws of thermodynamics! I am now in college studying biochemistry, in part because of the lessons I learned early on that science can be fun.

The paranoia that is gripping this country is absurd and intellectually stifling. The reaction to this student's behavior should be guided encouragement, not knee-jerk punishment.
So, out of interest. What bit of this is original design or conception? It all looks like a blatant plagiarism of iA Writer to me. "Different shade of blue", FFS!

We use Ninite Pro extensively within our network. Not only does it allow remote updates (whereas locally it requires administrative rights most users don't have) it also allows disabling of update notification and disabling of shortcuts.

The update process Adobe employs is a nag for admins, the constant flow of acrobat updates and flash updates is a bombardment of announcements which most users in a corporate environment don't have control over.

I prefer paying ninite for the hassle free service, rather then adobe who seem to have no clue or interest in making users life easier. From my perspective, i don't care who profits as long as I can achieve my goals with a minimum of hassle. Ninite provides this, Adobe does not.
The Apache Software Foundation (you might have heard of them ;) runs their servers on FreeBSD.

NetFlix runs some (all?) of their servers on FreeBSD.

Google uses FreeBSD for their network search applicance (for corporate intranets or whatever). They also just announced their funding of the Capsicum security framework project for FreeBSD (and later, a port to Linux).

The Weather Channel uses FreeBSD to power their network appliances that render the forecasts for local cable networks.

NetApp and Juniper Networks use FreeBSD for their networking gear.

There are more examples here if you want to read them:

The FreeBSD Foundation also has a list of donors:

HealthPost - Houston, TX - openings in both dev & sales

In the past I've gone into more details, but I'm going to make this short and sweet. We have 7 people. We're deploying to hospitals in 4 time zones and growing rapidly. We value creative people who will help dream up new products for our platform. We're pretty flexible, but at least at the beginning you need to be comfortable spending a higher amount of face-to-face time in our office.

Ruby on Rails Developer

At the moment, we want experienced web application developers who can point us to relevant accomplishments and will be happy to show us their abilities with a test project. We prefer friendly folks who are quick to ask questions and help each other out. We need self-starters who would enjoy the opportunity to brainstorm new ideas for our products and look forward to the opportunity to interact with customers.

Experienced Healthcare Salesperson

If you are an excellent salesperson highly experienced in sales to hospitals, this will be an outstanding opportunity for you. Customers are coming to us and we have had to do very little in sales. Our potential pipeline is huge and you could make a huge impact on our expansion. We need someone who already knows what matters to the various stakeholders in each hospital and can capably explain how our products are a win for all of them. A talented engineering team is expanding the cloud-based software platform and also ready to tackle any new ideas you bring us.
The difference between a 0.5 amp minimum current on the 12 volt supply and the 0.05 amp minimum current on the CPU might be enough to power a CPU fan (such as the Precision 690 from Dell, which is about 0.45 amp at 12V). I'm not familiar with other hardware requirements or constraints, so it might not work.

This article has many facts wrong.

It seems that MySQL development halted entirely at Sun.

I was concerned about Oracle's motives w.r.t MySQL but I can say they have come out with major new releases that improve MySQL in substantial ways. For instance, they've greatly improved the scalability of InnoDB on large SMP machines.

On the other hand, neither Sun nor Oracle have been really wanting to win with MySQL either and I think we could have seen more and different innovation in MySQL if it had been in other hands.

The Wikipedia win is big for MariaDB because it's a show of confidence that it works in demanding applications.
