Yup. Folk ought to know it's possible to put a few braces and some infixness without breaking homoiconicity.

Also, avoiding to use nesting to introduce new identifiers goes a long way for clarity. I do hate "let" with a passion.
And it works smoothly on my mobile. I'm impressed.

Dan, yes, your statement is correct. But a new patient who is depressed and needs treatment for depression is not necessarily distinguishable from a bipolar patient who first seeks treatment during a depressed mood state and has no medical history of elevated mood symptoms. That's the rub: many people with a bipolar mood disorder pattern haven't seen the worst aspects of elevated mood until after they seek treatment for depression.
That's odd. Being familiar with a Mac system would normally make you better with Linux considering the terminal is similar.
Firstly there are a lot of people who are using Samsung phones. Secondly, I believe other Android phones also come with keyboard that has Swype features. My nexus 4 has the feature and my friend 's HTC has it too. Thirdly, a lot of keyboard apps in Play store basically does the same thing (i.e. Slideit, SwiftKey and touchpal). Basically, almost everyone who use android phones Swype sometimes.
I posted on Monster a few months ago and just got inundated: at least a dozen calls before I had a chance to leave the coffee shop I was in.

I'm sure there's real professionals out there, but every one I've ever met is just scanning the job boards trying to match keywords. I'm tired of hearing from them how wonderful every position is (with one of our top clients!) and when I've been on the other side I quickly grew tired of hearing from them how wonderful every candidate was. It's not that they're lying really, they just generally don't have the ability to evaluate either.

Recruiters are like the throng of people you meet when you arrive in certain third-world countries who follow you around offering to show you the sites or trying to sell you trinkets. I don't hate them or anything; they're just annoying, they get in the way, and I certainly don't think they're adding any value.

Markdown is basically another flavor of wiki markup. It just happens to be the most popular iteration at the moment.

I'm not sure how you can say wiki markup is universally reviled without lumping markdown into that statement. You must have a particular flavor of wiki markup in mind.
No, because the salt is stored with the password. Salts are used to defend against reversing a password hash into a password, but they don't appreciably impede bruteforcing passwords into hashes.
I'm going to guess--I have no proof--that entrepreneurs over 50 tend to be looking for a technology to meet a specific market need that has been eating at them for a long time, while those under 25 are more likely to be looking for a market need they could address with the brand new tech skills they've been developing.

If I'm right, they could make pretty good partners.

It's been known for quite some time now, centuries, maybe millenia, among people practicing intensive meditation (monks, basically) in many different cultures and religion, that mild sleep deprivation (really, just keeping sleep at a minimum without impairing normal functioning) acts as a safeguard against depressed mood.

It's a constant advice in many different schools of meditation: "don't sleep too much, keep your sleep duration at a minimum, wake up early, and meditate".

I'm honestly not sure what seems ridiculous to you. In these instances, the female bullies are acting out misogynistic discourses. Can you clarify what your sticking point is?
Swype features aren't the same as actual Swype, though. The stock Android keyboard just has copied swipe-typing.
ITER fusion project advances
TLDR:

"This week the project gained final approval for the design of the most technically challenging component – the fusion reactor’s “blanket” that will handle the super-heated nuclear fuel.

The building site in Cadarache has also passed the crucial stage where some 493 seismic bearings – giant concrete and rubber plinths – have been set into the reactor’s deep foundations to protect against possible earthquakes."
I think there's a lot of humblebrag for sure, but for me the annoyance isn't that they are annoying but that they seem to provide a very useful service so poorly that they are a net negative. I don't want to humblebrag about unsolicited recruitment attempts, I want a quiet and fruitful partnership with somebody who does the job well.

Anyone can call themselves a "Nutritionist". I bet she'd never be qualified to be a Dietitian, now would she enjoy being hampered by ethics and knowledge.
"top-heavy business-grad management tend to be crappier companies as opposed to companies with a balance between business and technology"

I'm challenging the basis of your analysis, which uses a flawed example (look at Wall Street!) and seemingly anecdotal evidence to come to your conclusion.

I'm clearly not changing your argument. I'm challenging your analysis.
I suspect they just omitted a comma; it should have been "AOL Is Shutting Down AOL Music And Firing Staff, Who Are Live-Tweeting The Bloodbath".

As a reader, I can tell you that the author said 'on food', which includes time to eat, not the '2 hours a day on food preparation and cleanup' that the nutritionist mis-states.

I can't speak to "over 50," but I can speak to "over 40." I founded my first software startup in 1995 while I was still an undergraduate. I had the good fortune of timing it so that after a year and a half of toil and obscurity we hit the wave of the dotcom boom, and I was able to establish myself as a proven serial entrepreneur and have been able to found a series of moderately successful tech companies over the years. I'm 42 now, and I'm currently getting a new startup off the ground with three other co-founders who are also in their early forties. We have the good fortune of all having had at least one big success in our careers, but I can attest that our experience has been valuable, and we haven't had a particularly hard time raising money.

I mention this because I think that there are a lot of people between 40 and 50 right now who are the first generation of true digital natives (for example, I have no idea what it was like to work in a pre-email office). Many of us weathered the dotcom boom and bust. From where I'm sitting, this cohort is quite well equipped to found successful tech companies, despite the fact that we tend to have families and children.
Feminist discourse is usually 1 dimensional.

No, it's not. It really, really isn't. You only notice the stuff that mentions female-victim/male-perp because you don't really care enough about the issue to notice anything further. There is heaps of feminist discourse on women judging women and limiting their options by doing so, the topic of this article. And there are plenty of complex narratives rather than black and white reasoning.
Just a bit more..

There are some pretty serious potential health risks for the improper use of your laptop and mobile phone too. Each can easily start a fire. Your laptop's keyboard is likely damaging your wrists. Small text, dimly lit screens, and hours upon hours of constant use are hurting your eyes.

Maybe we should take away root access to your computer while installing software that forces you to take a break every few hours? Maybe require some APIs that lock you out of your Google account during that time period so you don't cheat with another device (like your cell phone).
I used to have that problem about half the time, and the other half of the time, the opposite-- where I'd assume they knew nothing about my field, and elide details they were actually interested in. So now I tend to ask lots of probing questions when explaining things, which seems to annoy people who just want me to get to the point! Surely there is another middle ground; the one I'm trying seems to not work.
Most 24 years old never achieve those levels of success either.

$1B+ exits (not all are exits of course, but I'm talking personal financial impact) are a pretty narrow way of defining success. Most people would call anything 7+ figures winning at life, and I'm sure there's tons of those who are 50+.
> All the other girls would talk about fashion labels and gossip and she would be bored out of her mind, wondering why nobody else watched Doctor Who. None of them understood the joke on her Darth Vader t-shirt. One of them listened to her podcast and asked her what “Marvel” was. One of them told her to stop making them feel stupid all the time.

Believe it or not, you can be a good coder without knowing who Doctor Who and Darth Vader are, or what Marvel is. Not even having seen Star Wars will make you a good programmer!

(A friend of mine who saw the linked post was astounded at the idea that girls are keeping other girls out of IT by not being enthusiastic about juvenile comic books and juvenile sci-fi. That is just about the single stupidest thing one could possibly think---unless, perhaps, the single stupidest thing one could possibly think is that it's somehow daring or transgressive to be a fan of Dr. Who. Come the fuck on.)
I doubt her training/education was very "professional" considering the big "detoxification" blurb on her website :p

Edit: Oh jesus, the banner that says "ALL DISEASES BEGIN IN THE GUT". That she can play at "practicing medicine" is horrible.
Thank you for your honesty. The final point means that Pocket (never fully understood the name change from Read It Later, perhaps because like you said it supports different media types not just text?)

I've never tried instapaper. At some point I got lazy and stopped marking stories as read on Pocket/RIL and now I have this ginormous (almost 2 GB) of things to read. So what did I do instead of reading? I uninstalled the app and the bookmarklet.
maybe i'm just a geek who's a bit too obsessed but my news is really everywhere on every device from my PC to iPad to mobile phone to my television -- and even finds it's way on to social sites like facebook and twitter. so i feel like i live in a sea of news rather than it being something i must seek out.

Do substantiate.
Where do you live? I have an extremely hard time believing that there is no gender inequality where you live. Far more likely is simply that you're blind to the inequality, having grown up immersed in male privilege.
Man... That's bad.Aol Music really has unique, good, high quality video content. For me the content was always hard to find, but when I found a star I wanted to watch/listen, I was amazed what exclusive videos they have had produced with that particular star.

- maybe I confuse Aol Sessions with Aol music - Aol sessions is great.
I think there may be some overexposure issues in some parts of wine as well: if you work in a popular place like the Napa Valley, it's easy to slip into the equivalent of the jaded tech-support worker who assumes everyone they talk to is going to be a total idiot, and isn't going to be very subtle about that assumption.

One way to avoid that is to go to places that aren't over-exposed. I did a short driving tour of Texas wineries a few years ago, and it was quite low-key and pleasant. People were pretty friendly and wanted to explain things. Some people were actual wine makers in the literal agricultural sense, but even those who weren't—mostly semi-retired people who decided to run a winery in their late-middle-age as kind of upper-middle-class dilettantes—were pretty friendly.
Totally recommended. My favourite potato-hash style dish. I usually skip the sausage though, I don't like the cheap processed ones (though they are most "traditional"), which is what you usually get (except when I'm the cook), so I just add more bacon :)

And next you're having boerenkool with some IT types, tell them how UNOX is the worst operating system.
But she's appeared on so many television shows!
I'm on the other side of the fence. Walks like a duck and all that.

Without checks and balances and transparency, it's easier to assume the fix is in. The mere appearance of a conflict of interest is sufficient to signify a conflict of interest.

Credulous, huh? That's a good one.
God's temple. It's inevitable. God will be manifest. Soon, no more atheists.

God says...

me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and
my brother, he hath commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found
favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my
brethren. Therefore he cometh not unto the king's table.

20:30 Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto
him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that
thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the
confusion of thy mother's nakedness? 20:31 For as long as the son of
Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy
kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely
die.

20:32 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him,
Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done? 20:33 And Saul cast a
javelin at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was
determined of his father to slay David.

20:34 So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no
meat the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David,
because his father had done him shame.
'patriarchy' doesn't mean 'an active conspiracy of men; they meet on Tuesdays, bagels will be provided', it means something more along the lines of 'social structures designed/evolved to keep men on top'. Anyone can contribute to the structures, usually unwittingly.
"Hacking away" is a narrow definition of entrepreneurship.
How about Python? You can write IO in a relatively functional fashion in Python:

print sum(float(line) for line in open('somefile.txt'))
That statement is nothing special, both Markdown and asciidoc claim to be a formalisation of the plain text conventions you already use. IMHO most of the alternatives mentioned in this comment thread understand their goals and the design space well enough, and many are definitive improvements over Creole's MediaWiki-inspired, committee-designed syntax. They also win in featurefulness (Markdown and Textile have html embedding, asciidoc and ReST have extension mechanisms), which is important for a wiki.
You're presuming that "obscure or trivial modification" to a hashing algorithm would be just as secure (or just as vulnerable) as the original. That is no guarantee. It's entirely possible that you might fundamentally break the algorithm and make it much much less secure.

This secure stuff is hard. Remember when debian made a "simple fix" to open ssh and made all the ssh keys for 2 years brute forcible? Do you think you can do better? It's wiser to leave this to the experts
The equivalent phrase here would probably be "laid off" but the definitions are a little fuzzy. People say "laid off" as a polite euphemism for fired and people use "fired" when they're upset about about being laud off.
My point exactly. Some times I think nutritionists are as much of a joke as "social media experts" are.
Never had a good experience using Swype on Android.

I much prefer SwiftKey on my samsung S3: http://www.swiftkey.net/
It's 1000 knots and 60,000 ft, and this is only to meet U.S. ITAR export requirements. There's nothing inherent about the civilian GPS signal itself that prevents you from computing a fix beyond those limits.

For example, you could buy one of these: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10981

and then design a baseband yourself. I'm currently aware of at least three people that are working on this or have already done it. You'll need to actually take the time to learn how GPS works, and it'll probably take you about a year, but it's definitely possible.
"The mere appearance of a conflict of interest is sufficient to signify a conflict of interest."

And what gives there a conflict of interest? The algorithm has absolutely nothing to do with what advertising businesses pay for or do not pay for. This much is known.
That depends originally MBA's where for high flyers in blue chip companies who did their MBA after a number of years experience.

Now you seen people getting an MBA with no or little real word experience not sure this sort of MBA is much use to a start up - though I am sure the big 4 consultancy can rent then out at a huge day rate to tell you the time using your watch.

And having worked on the campus at CIT the Business school was not regarded by at least a proportion of the students as being quiet as good as a proper MSC /PHD
I know about Mono. I don't think its as fast as Microsoft's own CLR, though I would definitely be happy if it was.
This article wasn't "there isn't a 50% gender split in IT, therefore something is wrong!", which is what you're alluding to, it was "this person was shamed away from their interests by their peers". The article doesn't talk about distributions at all.
I do not think what the field do about the internal culture matters since women are discouraged long before they have any encounters with the IT industry. The internal culture rarely matters for the outward appearance.

What we instead should do is focus on schools and activities for young women interesting din technology.
Chick-fil-a is much, much more prominent in the South than they are in the rest of the US, let alone the world, and the Eat Mor Chickin campaign seems to be much more prevalent down there as well. I honestly don't think I've seen the phrase outside the South; I'm sure it exists, but chick-fil-a doesn't advertise nearly as much in NYC and Chicago as they do in the parts of the South I've lived in.

It's not surprising to me in the slightest that somebody from Vermont, like the Eat More Kale guy, had simply never heard the slogan. Most people in New England have never heard of Waffle House either.
I'm not a webdev, but the code says:

/*
* rotate each slice at the right angle = (A/2)° + (k - (n+1)/2)*A°
* where A is the angle of 1 slice (30° in this case)
* k is the number of the slice (in {1,2,3,4,5} here)
* and n is the number of slices (5 in this case)
* formula works for odd number of slices (n odd)
* for even number of slices (n even) the rotation angle is (k - n/2)*A°
*
* after rotating, skew on Y by 90°-A°; here A° = the angle for 1 slice = 30°
*/

So there's a calculation to be done. I guess there are various ways to get around that.
What's important about the experience is being able to put the information you're receiving in context and understanding how great the opportunity is to build long-lasting relationships with a group of people that will have a high percentage of successful members.

Getting an MBA is not just about the mechanical absorption of how to do a free cash flow or doing a paper on organizational behavior.

Frankly, more insight and knowledge was gained from classmates than from the textbooks and case studies we had.
Engineers complaining about recruiters is no different from attractive woman complaining about getting picked up all the time.

I don't mean this negatively, because getting bad recruitment inquiries over and over does become tiring at some point. But this is definitely one of the problems that are nice to have, if you see it from a positive light.
How did you go from "started programming (for real) about 2 years ago" to recruitment offers from Google/Apple and "targeting $180K"?
Funny he says that about the English accent - even from the other side of the (Australian-based) hiring desk, whenever I pick up the phone and hear that accent I just know what the next question will be, and I could copy&paste my answer.

No, we aren't looking for anyone right now, and certainly not with those skills (we've never looked for those skills); yes, that's the same answer I gave you last time you called.

And if they could remove the phrase "a quick heads up" from their lexicon, it'd make my year.</gripe>
Neat obscure language thing: adjectival is the adjectival form of adjective.
Wiki markup is recognisable with link conventions [[like this internal link]] and [[like this|http://external/link]] (MediaWiki and Creole; earlier wikis relied solely on CamlCase). Markdown's design is inspired by conventions used in plain-text email, with links [like this][1].

Yes, pushing bits around here to suit an external set of requirements is totally different to pushing bits around there to suit an external set of requirement. As different a skill as laying tile in the shower recess of a new house or inspecting a sheep for signs of a disease.

You can trademark generic statements as well, as long as it remains notable within the business field.

25 late 2012 vintage GPUs gets you 180 billion MD5 tries per second. With a fairly modest budget you can rent a whole lot more GPU power than that. A little Googling gets me several companies offering password hash cracking as a service.
Have you overloaded your profile with keywords and endorsement tags? That seems to be the bug zapper that attracts recruiters.
I'm curious why I've never heard anyone suggesting to make a public/private key pair, burn the the private key, and just encrypt passwords with the public key as your hashing function.

Short of finding an exploit in GPG, you'd have to crack the public key used which would be near impossible if a long key was used. This assumes you keep that key safe.

So why not literally make a key pair and throw away the key?
> ... then they can hack those accounts in the time it takes to compute 50M 1,000 hashes*
