I did a "loader" in basic that saved to either disk or tape. This was pretty common and was explained in magazines and books at the time (I don't think I'd have come with this idea on my own as I was 7-10 years old).

For most kids, programming was BASIC, or BASIC combined with some assembly loaded as DATA blobs. The problem was getting an editor, monitor, source level debugger like for instance http://djupdal.org/cbm/64asm/ but there were things like The Final Cartridge. My dad used it to cheat at games but I found a lot of use to it.

The C128 integrated a memory monitor and disassembler. It was a lot easier to do something decent in C128 without proprietary tools. Sadly it never caught on. But even to develop for the C64 it was a great machine. For most kids it was a lot better to program-play. Like the Spectrum, it had graphic primitives in BASIC. Believe it or not, there was no graphics mode in the C64 that didn't involve playing with memory maps (for sprites) or assembly/machine code.

I didn't do much with the Speccy as I was a Commodore kid but I loved playing with its graphics in BASIC. I never got to do anything more sophisticated than that in that platform. I believe most pros back then did cross-compiling from 128K+ machines to the 48K or the Plus.

Now I collect all these machines but I haven't taken the time to go back and see how would I do things now. There's a lot of stuff I didn't know back then, for instance Forth, which would have worked a lot better besides "machine code" than BASIC.

What I find most amazing is that I remember all this stuff with precision (I can still remember POKE codes) and I barely remember anything else from these years. I have vague memories from even friends, teachers, cartoons...

How to weave a story around your startup
This is when I feel envy toward engineers who can program hardware. I'm so involved with Ruby and HTTP and CSS etc. that I have negligible knowledge about Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and Beaglebone.

I don't even know where to start and whether it will be a fruitful exercise (i.e. will I be able to devote sufficient time to it to actually learn something worthwhile).

Anyway, this is a neat project and I wish you good luck OP!
Coming soon on Mega: notification and history.
i never said it is her fault. but listing this as some kind of hard obtained, new knowledge?

of course the company should properly train their support staff, etc. but this is not the point here.

people needing help are in a stressful mental state. they don't act rational, some stay nice, some turn into monsters. first step is to calm down, then solve the problem. some need tough love, some need love.

dangerous analogy: sort of like dealing with an argument with your female partner in a relationship. it's first and foremost about the emotions at play, the factual problem is secondary.

if you get stressed out by other people's emotions, you can't help them. basic human triage is calm down first, establish sympathy/empathy, then move to the issue. a good doctor works like that, a good sales person as well.
Are you sure it has to do with the hours, and not with; say the type of projects you've been working on, the amount of freedom you've been given, or the big office atmosphere?
Twitter Is Testing Out Its Official Google Glass App In The Wild
I've always wondered if Howard Beale in the film Network was named after the intersection of those streets in SF. Alas, this does not answer that question.
Interesting. What are you using to send/receive the messages?
Yup. Only username. It works like Twitter. You will only get notification if someone mentions you like @tehwebguy
We're using Tropo.com, pretty easy. Otherwise it's just mysql/mysqli/php/apache. Pretty straight forward.
I'm assuming the saying is because of all the stories about wealthy people not being as happy as you would assume. Stories about unhappy, but rich misers have been around a long time, so I'd guess that there's some truth to them.

Money buys experiences and comfort, but it can't buy true relationships. Money doesn't fix the selfishness or unforgiveness that destroys your marriage. Money doesn't make up for all the time you spent working instead of relating to family and friends.

I've heard some stories about rich men dying unhappy, but I can't find any on Google. Here are some other references:

[2] "Silas Marner" (George Elliot)

In-house recruiters or hiring managers, except perhaps the most inexperienced or unprofessional, will not press a candidate to explain a decision to decline an offer.

I couldn't possibly disagree more. If I have invested time into a potential employee and they decide at the end of the process that they don't want to accept our offer then I wouldn't think twice about (respectfully) asking for their rationale. Primarily because I want to ensure that there was no misunderstanding of the role or package but also so I can learn from it and ensure the next person I offer doesn't reject for the same reasons.

I certainly wouldn't pressure someone into providing an explanation but I would consider it basic professional courtesy to be told why we were unsuccessful in acquiring that candidate.

Javascript: Architecting Your Application for Testability (Google Talk Video)
Your right. My comment stemmed from my frustration as the many close sourced hardware being pushed by the OEMs and ODMs. I should have elaborated my comment further. Lesson learned.
I'd also say that by the time I've waited 20 minutes, I'm a bit of an asshole (probably). While managing call centre service levels is a very challenging problem, I haven't been particularly impressed in the past.

Slightly off topic, but a different story regarding cutting off for non-payment: I recently had my ISP invent a new credit card number for me while I used a free trial account in parallel with my actual subscription for a while (it was "123456..."). They then tried to debit this imaginary card to pay for my actual subscription, eventually adding a penalty fee which brought my account into arrears. All of this without my knowledge of anything strange happening. As a result, my account was disconnected a few days before the end of a month I had already paid for. This type of incompetence seems to be fairly widespread these days, and after several emails, phone calls, etc, all I got out of them was a "oh yeah, you should probably change those payment details".

Ensure you have (at least) monthly meetings with a supervisor. This provides good feedback and stops you getting lost in the weeds. It helps if you have small milestones attached to each meeting (reading a book/paper, editing a chapter, etc).

A sign the PhD is going awry is when they stop attending regular meetings and duck out of your way in the corridor. ;-) Then they start getting stressed
Seems like a bad choice for a headline/title. You're advertising a gimmicky, non-essential feature of your app instead of one of its valuable benefits. But curiosity-based headlines can only be so efficient when they're not paired with a more fundamental appeal (e.g. the fear that your wallet is not safe in the example you mention).
Another thing you can make clearer is where you are based—I had to go to the blog to figure out it is Mountain View (I’ve seen a lot of things out of Mozilla London recently so I was hoping it was in London!).
I can't comment about NZ,but in the UK the 37.5 hours work weeks are a 8:30-5 or 9-5:30 days with an hour long lunch. The number of hours goes up by 5 if you factor all time actually spent 'in office'.

Compared to Chrom(e|ium), I don’t get crashes on every other website, a decent release cycle, a decent repository and, you know, a browser that does what I want rather than forcing me to want what it does. Oh, and a functional speed dial.

Compared to Firefox, it actually makes decent use of RAM, doesn’t require fifty-five trillions of addons to work remotely properly (and hence doesn’t require updating of said fifty-five trillions of addons every other day) and a decent release cycle.

Oh, it also works on my phone and I just had to copy over wand.dat to get all my passwords there as well :-)
With any of these three platforms you could be doing this project in an afternoon. Processing isn't any harder than Ruby. You can do it.

Check out makezine for resources designed for people who aren't even familiar with programming. It doesn't take much to get up to speed with some basic on/off circuits. With a little high-school physics or just some asking around of friends you can get custom devices going.
For UK based developers, our site http://www.hackerjobs.co.uk is getting progressively busier and we've recently had the likes of Facebook UK & Skype advertising technical roles.
This is very unethical. None of these companies who blow the trumpet of innovation and user experience care about privacy. No one. Neither Google nor Facebook. I can count on Mozilla. But rest all are prowling for info to show us targeted ads. Period.
Judging the worth of an advertising channel based on $30 is like judging the worth of antibiotics based on a single use.

I don't mean to be harsh, but your results don't really say anything about the merits of advertising on Reddit. Ads can impact purchases long in advance, but more importantly you can't expect single touch ads to work! Most users ignore an ad until they've seen it multiple times. I suggest you read more about effective frequency/advertising frequency.

From personal experience, I can tell you that even good products with good ads usually start off as losers, then increase their return as they reach their full audience multiple times. Once you've achieved saturation in that channel, your ROI levels off and then begins to decline.

Honestly - and I say this for the benefit of anyone who thinks this test is meaningful - that $30 would be better spent on a textbook about the basics of online advertising.

1993, I had real-mode DOS

I made a TASM application that changed to protected mode and echoed keyboard to screen, with multitasking.

2003, I resurrected the project. I stored files as data in my binary and compiled them with my interpretor. I converted more and more to C+. I made an assembler, I was self-hosting.

shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

17:4 And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob
shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.

17:5 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and
reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth
ears in the valley of Rephaim.

17:6 Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an
olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough,
four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the LORD
God of Israel.

Different source, same story (nearly word-for-word - haven't checked completely), some discussion:

Added in edit ...

I've checked, and they are pretty much word-for-word. Out of interest, I did notice the page size versus the text size. There's about 5 KB of text here, in a 146 KB page, and that's just the HTML, not the images, etc.
If VC's don't give founders a "no" (in case the situation changes, the startup takes off) then why would you as an employee?

Say you have 30 offers on the table. What's to be had by saying "no" to 29 of them instead of just "yes" to 1 and not replying to the rest?

If that 1 drops out you now have 29 pending job offers.

If you "declined" the rest, you now have what pending?

Security, performance, and functionality/features.

They're generally FIPS 140-2 level 3 (and a couple are 4), so protected against physical and logical attacks.

Generally they have modexp accelerators and have performance equivalent to a main CPU (they used to be way faster than CPUs...).

Mainly, they have tools for multi-party key management, crypto fill, reset, etc. Some of which can work remotely/over the network, which is the main weakness of the low end smartcard in this environment.

I can pinpoint it, but I'm not sure this is to be eliminated, maybe this is for that kind of people in that kind of company and candidates have to blend to the culture.

"excited" and variants appears 6 times in the article (inclusive for the answer to proposal you're about to reject), "guidance", "I feel best fits my current professional and personal goals" well, simply "that I prefer" would work too. I think we can't have blogs about GTD and shorts emails and at the same time padded sentences in the templates of the career advice sites, this creates a cognitive dissonance.

But again, I'm jobless, and hated the business-speak and "professional" things when I had a job, so I don't think I should be giving career advice, I was pointing just this funny stuff out in a very un-professional and non constructive way.
You may have met some of the inexperienced or naive ones then.

If an experienced recruiter wants to know all about competing offers they are doing market research and you are giving them power over you and your future choices.

Just politely and distantly avoid answering any follow-up after a decline.
Generally HSMs have manufacturer keys, too, so you'd need to compromise both Amazon and SafeNet (admittedly, both US companies which could be subject to court order...). The weak point is initial provisioning, as you point out.

There is history and there is cleanness, as Linus Torvalds explained in http://lwn.net/Articles/328438/.

The git way of doing what the OP wants to do is to develop all code on local branches. They're cheap and you can have as many of them as you want.

Just never commit directly to master and set it to track upstream/master. Synchronize with upstream by pulling into your local master, and then rebase, merge & diff your local branches at will.
Do you tell those candidates you decline why you declined them?
Tracking progress and learning from top performers
It appears to be a binocular microscope, but not a stereo microscope. A stereo microscope has two separate optical paths to the specimen, one for each eye.

A non-stereo binocular microscope has one optical path from the specimen to the eyepiece assembly, and then uses a prism to split that so that it can be sent two eyepieces. This increases comfort and reduces eyestrain compared to a single eyepiece microscope.

I've been sitting here at my computer since almost 8pm yesterday. It's 8PM now. I can absolutely identify with the OP. It's not just startups, having a full time job and going to uni as a full time student was a stupid move.

It's bad enough I work myself like this but there's also all that caffeine. The coke, chocolate bars, energy drinks I consume and not forgetting the smoking.

I tell myself 2 more months and I'll graduate. In the meantime I've made moves by dropping the nicotine, dropping coke and energy drinks and keeping a large bottle of water with me while I work. When the water runs out, that's my cue to get up, stretch, refill and maybe take a power nap.
Your mention of manual removal of control rods reminded me of the SL-1 reactor accident - where some unfortunate chap went to raise a control rod a few inches but accidentally pulled it out 26 inches - the resulting huge power surge and water hammer caused a very nasty accident killing all 3 operators:

How do people choose a bottle of wine that has no words on the back of the label to describe its flavour?
1. A lot of people have strong emotional aversion against having sex with random strangers they didn't choose themselves.

2. There's a pretty strong social taboo against it and many people will refuse to associate with those who do it. People such as family, friends and potential future employers and mates. You can keep it secret, but that carries its own costs.

3. There's a somewhat increased risk of running into organized crime and/or psychopathic killers.

Ah, interesting point. This isn't quite the opposite of what I was saying, but it's definitely different. You're saying the youngsters are passionate about solving a specific problem, which is opposite of my speculation that the oldsters have the problem in mind. But you aren't saying that the oldsters just want a vehicle for their technical skills, you're saying they want a vehicle for their business skills.

Interesting observation....
I thought so too but it turns out that, no, its not.

Although the NeXT machine - the original web server - is still at CERN, sadly the world's first website is no longer online at its original address.

If the applicant has taken the effort to come and interview with us and we decide not to proceed then as a rule I will always give full and frank feedback as to why we came to our decision. Sometimes the feedback is hard to swallow but occasionally I'll get an applicant who challenges our decision and we will genuinely reconsider if they present a valid argument.

Um.. No.. if you use rebase regularly, you're doing something very wrong.

In this case, the problem is that development isn't being done on a branch. One of the most important features of Git is how easy it is to fork & merge - there's no excuse for doing your work on master.

Work on a branch, merge your branch into master when it's finished. History is completely accurate, you only get one merge commit.

Don't mess up history just to work around bad workflow. Fix the problem at its source.
