If the staff doesn't have the knowledge/tools required and/or the work morale that is needed to be productive and get the job done I really don't think that micromanagement is the proper solution.

> Linux will soon have btrfs, which is as good as (if not better than) ZFS.

It may be awesome, but I'd say "soon" is a pretty optimistic timeline.

Our testing pretty conclusively demonstrated that btrfs was still a long way from production-ready; We've seen numerous problems with deadlocks; Filling up a filesystem pretty much ruins it forever -- And these are not new problems.

Copyright owners can choose to do whatever they want with their content. It may be foolish but if they don't want you to consume it they don't have to offer it to you. You don't have a right to someone else's content, they have a right to not offer it.

Of course the result is "piracy". If someone wants to view content that's not available through legal channels they'll find another way. But that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with copyrights. It just means the business model is wrong and the people in charge are fools.
>I don't care much about advanced security

Funny, I care very much about security and both OpenBSD and FreeBSD are primarily on my radar for that reason. Nice to know I get the simplicity too.
The only issue in the list above that I have experienced is the poor Library/Messages folder usage and that doesn't bother me at all.

I use Messages for everything and no longer use any other IM client - however - if Adium supported iMessage I'd totally go running back to the duck.
Turning stuff like "out of vmem, OOM killer took down smbd" resp. "fixed" into user-comprehensible messages.
That might be so, but it's still a possibly identifying fingerprint.
We ran a 4-5 person startup from our apartment (and had the servers running in the closet) for a year before we got free office space. I had a different experience where we worked longer and faster when we were all in the same room (my roommate and I slept in the back, which was our area and no one could touch). Once we got a little larger and had reasonable funding, we moved out and got a really nice office with the money we'd saved for a year.
See, what you do is buy the ramen packets, a bag of frozen shrimp, and a dozen eggs. Bring the water to a boil, let the ramen rehydrate, then crack an egg right into the pot. Add some frozen shrimp and let it sit for a minute, then break the yolk and stir. Cook until the yolk solidifies and serve.

Duh.
"As Google hires all of the world’s good software engineers" - probably an exaggeration, but definitely not true. At least in UK salaries there are lagging, only good for experience and to have it on your CV. Any company is only hiring the best people they could identify of those who applied.

3 Product Management Anti-Patterns
Proof that money does in fact buy happiness
I use it because I loved Trillian on Windows but Trillian on mac is still a buggy, alpha product.

One thing that's incredibly hard to get right with modern IM is intelligent multi-device routing. It's incredibly frustrating to have your phone buzzing next to you as you're having a conversation on your PC. Using Trillian on all my devices prevents that and that's reason enough since Adium doesn't have a iPhone app.
That it is actually illegal in some jurisdictions doesn't make it any less sad that people have to wonder about it.
Regardless of whether that is a good point, this sure seems to be an instance where everybody being less pedantic about such things would be more of a win.
Well, maybe to put it more generously:

1. Build a site in ruby (insert langauge/framework the creators are most comfortable/familiar with and can iterate quickly).
2. Build a community of a certain size that causes it scaling problems.
3. Identify the hotspots and re-implement them in more performant way.

This seems entirely reasonable to me. In fact, I'm guessing this is the path that all applications that get to Github scale take. Of course, it's easy to be snarky and identify Ruby as the problem. (Building the community is the hard part!)
SEEKING FREELANCERS REMOTE

I'm have a system that allows freelancers to market easier and close more contracts. I need a front end developer, and an e-commerce developer (back end). This is for a re-write, as there is a production system in place.

Email in profile.
She's a gay, transgender, atheist, member of the very wrong political party who once stole a loaf of bread while starving and who slept with her boy/girlfriend (who was white) at an age where, although there was only a day between them, she was an "adult" while the other was a "child" in Zimbabwe.

Sorry Zimbabwe, you were at the bottom of the "Freedom Index" I looked at.

For parts of the above, she could have been anywhere in Africa, the Middle East or, indeed, the first world.

On top of all that, she also didn't want her parents to know she's got a tattoo and was concerned that her colleagues would be upset that she'd negotiated a higher pay package than them.
The usual issues in EULAs are either public policy concerns with particular terms, or consent issues.

I don't think either would come into play here.
I hear you, and you make a good point. "Boy" and "Girl" are maybe not the solution, but perhaps, "I qualify for a Hacker School Grant" or some similar option would be. I think that intent is important here, and I don't believe their intent was to suggest the default gender of a hacker is male.
This seems like adium reborn as skype to me. I've never understood why the current design trends intend to make larger more robust interfaces to simplistic programs like chat. My ideal chat is something like irssi. It takes up minimal screen real estate, which is priority #1 for me.

Famo.us

Fulltime in SoMa, San Francisco, CA. No remote.

We're building the equivalent of Cocoa/CocoaTouch/Android SDK for web applications, while also exploring and enabling new concepts in interface design (e.g. stuff like Clear todo app, Yahoo iOS Weather app). Everything we build is HTML5 and Javascript based.

If you are a software developer with a passion for building operating systems, high performance graphics, application frameworks and software engineering tools come join us, because we're working on something big getting attention from some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley (although we can't yet say who).

We're series A funded and have plenty of runway and we've got many options on the table that we're beginning to mine so we can extend that runway indefinitely, while we build out our core product(s). We're at 10 people and growing.

Experience with functional programming and especially functional reactive programming is a huge plus. Our main language right now is in JavaScript, because that is what runs in the browser. However, we're still very small and use of only JavaScript isn't set in stone.

Apply for jobs via AngelList, https://angel.co/famo-us#recruiting , or email tyler@famo.us

"Multiplicity" Meets "The Matrix": Mind Uploading and Forking in the Cloud
"All softraid(4) boot(8) support is now enabled by default, including support for booting from crypto volumes." awesome.

I also use OpenBSD for embedded work, in fact I think everybody is using it for embedded systems. You can strip the kernel down to a tiny install, run securelevel 2 and chflags to prevent any tampering from console.
Evidently, the UI concept should support both single and multiple window usage patterns.
...and they do not want to be better.
I'm printing that document, and hanging it on my wall.
I was aware of iproute2, but wasn't aware the coverage ip had for features. That is indeed much better than ifconfig (feature wise), but I'm not sure if how indicative that man page is of the man pages on Linux in general, so it may just point out a poor example on my part.

Do you know if iproute2 if it supports STP configuration? I used brctl in the past to configure that, and it's something I would expect in an interface configuration tool (although maybe not a command named "ip"). I don't imagine that would be hard for them to add in if not though.

I think a better example of my point regarding man pages would be CARP[1]. In my experience where Linux has really lacked in man pages is concepts. The BSDs will offer refer you to man pages that aren't for any one command or file, but for a system or feature to explain it in general.

See also ipsec[2] for a description of the protocol, and aac[3] for a description of their driver implementation for Adaptec "FSA" family of RAID cards, and documentation on how to work with bluetooth[4] at the kernel level on their platform. Really, most of section 4[5].

Before we talk about your fortune, how many phony installers did you miss?
(HN weirdness - I couldn't "reply" to you a moment ago and now I can. Oh well...I'll recap what I wrote above.)

Here is the report on FEE relied - it was, in my opinion, accurately represented by FEE's summary:

http://books.google.com/books?id=xGU-AAAAYAAJ&pg=PA350

I'm not claiming Upton Sinclair's claims were unrealistic, I'm just claiming they were false. He said stuff that clearly was not true. The stuff about rats and dried rat dung going into the meat: false. The stuff about workers falling into the vat and, again, becoming part of the meat: false.

(there actually was one case one time of somebody falling into the vat, but the body was recovered and buried, not turned into sausage.)

Sinclair clearly invented stuff in order to entertainingly disgust his readers, which makes him an unreliable narrator, not a valid witness.

The fact that the government introduced new inspection laws to reassure the nauseated populace doesn't mean the guy whose lies nauseated them was correct. Nor does the fact that Roosevelt, like any politician, liked taking credit for the laws he signed and making grandiose claims for how much good those laws were likely to do.
I believe there was also a question as to whether it complied with the terms attached to the LGPL-licensed GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library.

Paying an hourly rate solves these problems.

Our project managers discourage long work weeks because they add cost without delivering proportional value. Work weeks tend to be in the 20-25 hour range. We compensate by hiring about 30% more devs than average.

The main disadvantage comes when a dev (often with a unique skillset) "owns" a particularly challenging piece of the project. Otherwise it works well.
"... there are reported health benefits as well and most of the world does not drink to excess..."

Ahh when was the last time you been to a football game in Europe? Or heard about a fight breaking out in the stands? Trust, they aren't smoking pot. So yes the rest of the world does abuse alcohol.

Oh and by the way, cocaine and pot also have health benefits. In fact, cocaine is still used today. And I doubt anyone will debate the health benefits of marijuana today.

"Let's say you overdose on cocaine or you get lung cancer from smoking, that is not a burden only you will carry, that is a burden on society..."

Let see; drunk driving; domestic abuse, liver damage, kidney failure - on and on. So don't give me this BS about the "burden on society". Go tell that to the many mothers against drunk driving.

"Money spent on your treatment could be better spent elsewhere. This isn't about personal freedoms, it's about being a responsible member of society and unfortunately talking about it on the personal scale is totally different to talking about it on a national scale."

There are more folk in treatment for alcohol abuse than drug abuse. And yet alcohol is legal. More people are shot by people drunk than people high. And yet alcohol is legal. More deaths are due to cigarettes than drugs (and alcohol). And yet cigarettes are legal.

And if we did end the drug war - over right the deaths in mexico would end. It's just that simple.

There is no reason to maintain the drug war except that every cop, every firefighter; every city, town, and state shares in the drug war pot. It's become a revenue stream. And the "war" part the the "Durg War" was lost decades ago.

Blackjack already has a reproducible flaw, it is called card counting. It is not illegal, but casinos frown upon it and often ban people who are suspected of card counting. I would argue that noticing and exploiting a flaw in the blackjack card shuffler falls along the same lines. You are using meta-knowledge to reduce the house edge. But this is not what Kane did, he didn't alter his chances of winning, he altered the payout.

The real argument is not if pushing the buttons in the right order is cheating, but is it hacking? That issue seems to come down to whether or not there was an escalation of access. Did those button presses give him unauthorized access to data? He exploited a flaw to alter the payout of the game, and that is at the very least fraud. If we are using your blackjack analogy this is like he somehow Jedi mind tricked the dealer to change the payout for a 21. If I used a software exploit to get a bank computer to double my money I have no doubt that would be seen as hacking. So how is the gambling machine different?
While I don't have any first hand experience with Go's performance - it is not that hard to believe it will be fast enough - it is a compiled language, so no interpreter / JIT overhead like Ruby / NodeJS. Plus they try to be closer to C where it makes sense (it has pointers but no pointer math for e.g.).

The synthetic language benchmarks also put it very close to gcc -O2 C performance. About the only things that need to be improved further (so I've heard) in Go are the GC, coroutine/thread scheduler and crypto performance. They are already better in 1.1 release but Crypto is still not close to OpenSSL performance.
I had this idea back in March 2011 with http://resumatic.net/, but I never really ran with it and it has by any measure failed (it's still up, since it costs me nothing to host). After testing the market, and my meagre design abilities, I decided that it wasn't the business for me -- I just wasn't sure job seekers would be willing to shell out.

So with that in mind, it's sort of cool and inspiring to read about someone doing something quite similar and actually making it work. Have you ever written about the process of building Resumonk as a business in detail? I'd love to read more.

Datahero turns data into rich visuals
DictateIT - London (North), UK - Fulltime

We're the UK's largest provider of digital dictation services to the NHS, having processed over 120 million lines of dictated letters and patient notes in the last year over more than two dozen hospitals and NHS Trusts using the platform we've built that covers everything from dictation caption through to voice recognition and outsourced transcription and then to digital signing and distribution. As we go forward we're using our platform as a way to give hospitals better tools to manage their patient information and records and help the NHS work more efficiently, as well as seeing what other services we can build using our large corpus of medical documents as a starting point.

I'm building a small but dedicated team of developers who are excited about what we're trying to do and interested in taking on new challenges while trying to bring innovation and disruption to health care in the UK. We're profitable and at the point where our growth is rapidly accelerating - we've winning tenders left, right and centre and all of our current clients are adding more users and departments to our current deployments.

Our current platform is front to back C# - WCF, ASP.NET MVC, WinForms and WPF, with SQLServer on the backend.

I'm looking for solid C# and ASP.Net developers from Junior to Senior level, though having specific C# experience is secondary to being willing to learn quickly and being passionate about technology as long as you've got other languages you're strong in.

Having experience in DB design and query tuning would be of special interest as we're dealing with high volumes of patient information and 100Gb+ datasets on some of our sites and we want to keep our system running as fast as possible!

We're looking to hire several developers, offering between £25k-£50k depending on skill set and experience. If you're interested or you've got any questions, drop me an e-mail at tech.recruitment@dictate.it and I'll do my best to answer anything you ask!
