I never sat down to "learn" the WP Codex either. I began with the most simple and bare-bones WP template there was, and slowly built up on my foundation as I needed the features.

A quick Google search usually brings up the most relevant Codex page and while their code examples aren't always the best, the web usually provides enough user-written tutorials to get my the solution I need.
Great article, I couldn't agree more. Sometimes trying too hard to be trendy just makes you sound unoriginal, or, worse, unprofessional.

I get far more quality recruiters contacting me that I ever have from sites like Monster, most of the ones on LinkedIn know the difference between Java and JavaScript and they don't take the one line in my history 5 years ago that said I helped build a printer script in C# that was used by a clients SAP system to mean I have 15 years SAP experience.

On the other hand Linux is a lot easier to troubleshoot should something break, and it is much easier to disable or completely remove unnecessary subsystems.

I had a Linux-powered laptop on the boat that was critical to a particular training task the CO liked, and it was somehow wedged by a bad shutdown.

Knowing what little I did of Linux, bash, etc. at the time I (a random LTJG) was able to figure out how to get the system to boot again, which allowed us to continue training without having to choose between breaking comms or going without that training software for the majority of the remainder of the patrol.
>>But electric cars aren't a disruptive technology.

Of course they are. They work completely differently from ICE cars and even hybrids to solve the same problem (transportation). That's the definition of a disruptive technology.
There's something to be said about a driven leader pursuing a vision. The other good example would be Apple + Steve Jobs.

For example, I know that with Ford Motor Company, as an example, the Ford family has a heavy hand in the top-level management (i.e. previous CEOs have been kicked out 'unofficially' because they didn't follow what the Ford family wanted or didn't live up to their expectations). That kind of stuff puts a drag on innovation.

I decided to try the UK calculator, for literary works. I'm somewhat horrified by the fact that one of the questions is 'Is the work "Peter Pan" by Sir James Matthew Barrie or an adaptation of that work?'

When specific works and specific authors have special laws passed for them, there's something a bit wrong with your legal system.

A bug in the implementation could affect the consensus about the largest chain, just as happened with the official client recently. That’s a security risk.
Is it a challenge, though? These 'focused' competitors in many cases might not actually take market share from their more general rivals. It doesn't need to be a zero-sum thing.
Consumer Reports is part of Ralph Nader's Consumer Union, an extremely left-wing operation. It is inconceivable that a $89k car with a top range of just 200 miles gets their top rating without a bias.
As someone who wrote a number of MacRuby apps, I find the support for OSX wonderful.

MacRuby is slow and clunky. Fact. This is a big improvement performance wise.

Do I mind paying for that improvement? Hell no. MacRuby development has pretty much halted once it lost Apple Support. I don't mind paying for something that will be maintained and improved upon.

Because information is so much easily accessible in our days, many people are facing your problem. The only way to finish something is to stick with it. That means saying No to other things that might distract you in the meantime.

Good luck and have fun!
What's really amazing is how old SHRDLU is. It was developed back in the late 60's, early 70's.

Although... I guess you could look at it two ways: Be amazed at what SHRDLU could do in 1970, or be disappointed that, given that we had that in 1970, we don't have the "Star Trek Computer" yet in 2013.

If you have any interest in working with Python (Django, or any other reasonably modern framework), I would be totally okay with open sourcing my code and developing this further. You should take a look at my original announcement [1] thread: there are some good ideas in there.

In the end, I didn't work more on it because I was really busy at the time with my real startup, and I saw no real interesting way to compete with Glassdoor. Plus, I got sort of pissed that all the publicity (articles on TC, MSN Money and ABC news) we got was co-opted by the Glassdoor PR people.

It's easy for anyone to build and sell Linux PCs out of their home. Don't expect Dell or HP to do it, outside of limited-market "test releases".
We haven't determined that yet. Probably a free tier then more as you go up. We're planning on figuring that out based off of the costs-per-subscriber incurred over the next few months. I completely understand that this is less than ideal from a perspective customer's point of view, and I only wish we had a more concrete price point at this time.
It is a bit unfortunate that you have to "unroll" your code to get the most out of Numba. Hopefully at some point it will be able to translate NumPy functions such as np.abs(X - y).sum(axis=1)) efficiently into LLVM. Those extreme performance improvements are misleading though; in my experience the speed up compared to concise, optimal NumPy code is more in the range 50-100%.

But a luxury manufacturer like e.g. Audi gets to reuse engineering work from parent VW and sibling Lamborghini to improve their $100k car. Much of the comparative advantage of the Model S is due directly to the engineering differences of building an electric powertrain; they get to make different tradeoffs than BMW does in, say, an M5.

The real nutcutting time will come when an established brand decides to build a high-end electric (the BMW i8, for instance), where they get to combine their much more significant economies of scale with the advantages of an electric drivetrain.

EDIT: The i8 is a plug-in hybrid, actually, so it's really a worst of both worlds sort of deal. The point still stands as made, however.
Who says that that option is off the table for good; many companies release open source software after the initial proprietary release.
Y'all know that I worked for Google. On this topic, I can only say good things about the place. When it comes to privacy and PII, Google holds itself to an extremely high standard. Many of these "social" innovations that are popping up on the market place were rejected out-of-hand at Google because it holds itself to an extremely high ethical standard regarding user data, as it actually respects them.

I was shocked, for example, when I learned that a certain social network gives universal profile access to employees as a perk. That would not happen at Google. If you looked at your high-school ex-girlfriend's email, you'd be fired immediately (and deserve it).

Social is creepy, because it's all about being defined by other people, which is ridiculous and horrible. What, so do I suck at Programming Languages because I haven't trolled my 25 closest acquaintances for endorsements? Am I really going to become more credible in Machine Learning if I get 15 strangers to "endorse" me?

The major conflict in "Social" is what I call "Document vs. Improve" (or: Exploit vs. Explore). A social app can expand the web of social connections and make it more efficient, but (a) that's really hard, and (b) there isn't a lot of short-term money in it. Or it can document social relationships that already exist, and make a shit-ton of money off the data. That's easy, but it doesn't actually make anyone's life better. Guess which one the mainstream social players favor?

What I find depressing about LinkedIn is how much it has play-by-play replicated the old, broken way of doing things. Resumes. Titles and dates of employment. Recommendations. Recruiter spam. It feels like the Wayback Machine took us to 1995.
Actually, we are using money to allocate it, which seems pretty reasonable. This will be an even better idea if we can bring costs down substantially.
More importantly, I believe, is the fact that nobody can stop alternative implementations from existing on the network.

Attackers are probably already tinkering with custom BTC clients, attempting to abuse the system. If this were really a concern, it is far too late.

How were those authors able to enforce this request? To be a proper paper it should not be necessary to contact the author in order to reproduce it.

If you had to ask the author for more details then their paper was incomplete - perhaps that's why it could not be reproduced.

Practing with Code Kata and Javascript/Jasmine
If the "it" in question is considered merely as the program and sum of CPU operations that the bytecode or binary-whatever reduces to, of course what you say is true, and also completely uninteresting. All that we've stated in this case is that software is software, electrons are electrons and bytecode is bytecode. Computers compute, end of story.

But of course that's not what we do as coders. The code is never "complete" -- it's always striving towards some "meaning" that is for a human being. You cannot exclude the meaning of the code from the subject that it is intended for. A human being perceiving the code is always redacting the meaning of the code, not as a function of ones and zeros, but as a function of the analogy that code creates, pointing not towards electrons but towards: a product in a warehouse; a sum of sales at the end of a quarter; a flaming ball of death hurling towards my first-person-virtual head. And so on.

In this sense the electrons/ones and zeroes are no more significant than the paper that The Iliad is written on + the ink it is written with.
> Running 80 FFT's every second isn't going to be great on batteries.

Assume for the moment that floating-point were used instead of fixed-point:
A 2048-element real-to-real FFT requires a bit less than 40Kflop, or 3.2Mflop/sec to get 80FFT/sec. Modern hardware is capable of > 1Gflop/joule, so the raw compute of 3.2Mflop/sec actually takes something on the order of 3.2mw.

Of course, the computation is being done in q15 instead of float, which (in theory) should require something on the order of 1/2 the energy. On the other hand, the processor can’t just do FFTs. It’s spending energy going in and out of lower-power states, running other code, etc, etc, and I don’t have any data for the energy usage of the M4 specifically, to say nothing of the other components on the board.

In principle though, the energy actually consumed by performing the FFTs should be pretty minimal; most of it will be going to everything else unless the hardware and software are both very carefully designed for efficiency.
Right. Tesla going bankrupt would have been the least surprising thing to ever happen. This is news exactly because it is unexpected.

I would also suggest that, like the Wright brothers, Tesla had no choice but to make a number of long term focused decisions because doing anything else would obviously fail.

How can a bug in the implementation be a security risk?

This gets a little complicated. "Bitcoin" is a commodity, a protocol (series of promises), a protocol (computer code to implement that series of promises), a particular distributed ledger, a network (of computers implementing the computer code implementing the series of promises with regards to one consensus distributed ledger), etc etc.

Consider bitcoin the series of promises. One such promise is under what circumstances opcode 32 causes a transaction to be marked as invalid. (Don't bother looking it up -- you'll have to go down a rabbit hole for a while.) It is critically important that all code implementing opcode 32 comes to the same conclusion regarding every transaction in history and every transaction in the future.

Consider an edge case for opcode 32, occurring in a transaction that I'll call T, two years ago. T is, as of right now, accepted as valid in the history that bitcoin (as you understand that term) accepts as correct. If a malfunctioning bitcoin client were to reject T, they would reject large portions of history after T, because they'd be predicated on an invalid series of transactions. Following me so far?

So the more interesting case isn't when there is a difference of opinions in the past, it is when there is a predictable difference of opinions in the future. In this case, one set of clients starts building a transaction ledger B, and one starts building a transaction ledger B'. They are different transaction ledgers. People subscribing to either ledger, which they think of as The One True Bitcoin Ledger, will be mighty pissed when other people in The One True Bitcoin Economy tell them that their unforgeable, unloseable, ungovernable units of crypocurrency are actually worthless bits.

This is called a blockchain fork. Bitcoiners are terrified of it happening again. (Yes, it has already happened at least once. Long story. "No harm, no foul, he wasn't trying to crash our entire economy so we dodged a bullet." is pretty much the consensus among Bitcoiners who actually understand what happened there.)

A couple ideas:

-You could do packaging for any of the Linux distros. They usually need help with pulling in the latest sources, putting together a few scripts, and then creating the packages to put in the repos. It would be great to support your favorite distro this way.

-Also, because you're located in Argentina, I'll assume you speak Spanish, in which case you can help with localization-translating software into Spanish. I imagine because it's a common language, a lot is already done, but I'm sure there's at least one or two applications that you regularly use which aren't, or maybe the man pages aren't done.

-Alpha and beta testing, and filing bugs is an important thing that needs to get done. If you just set up VMs with the latest alpha images of a distro when they come out, you could probably help the release team find bugs.

-Read and reply to the mailing lists for projects that you use. Many questions that pop up are pretty easy to solve. Also, hang out on the IRC channel for that project and help newbies. If the project has a wiki, help fill out more pages. Tutorials are very useful.

Most FOSS is already focused around remote collaboration, so I don't think you're at any disadvantage there. I think the hardest part is picking which project to support. I would recommend thinking about which programs/distros you use the most, and if they are small, or new, they will likely need help. From there, you can email and ask what to do, or just start trying to help.

Good luck!

Nice work! I thought it was pretty obvious what the startup does, thought I might put the headline "Reward Your Employees" left, or top center, where it's likely to be the first thing someone reads, rather than the reasons, which were the first thing my eye gravitated toward.
1. While you have an active project, write down each potential project/course on a piece of paper.

2. When you finish a project, you can pick a new one. Pick the one you most want to do from the list. Throw away the list and get a new piece of paper.

3. Go to 1.

"Why all the mediocre product that's the tail end of pumping billions of dollars into R&D staffed by largely the same folks Tesla has been hiring?"

Because they have hundreds of billions already invested in factories. That's why.

You want to drive an electric car?
Great, this means that the kilometer assembly line making gears, piston and other stuff is now completely useless. The investment goes down the drain.

In R&D department you have 50 something years old specialized in fluids, internal combustion engines and moving parts wear.

How they are going to feel when you remove ALL the internal fluids but refrigeration, remove the combustion engine and minimize moving parts and wear?.

Now you need experts on electric motors, and power electronics. What are you going to do with the old staff?

That is the reason.
