Spot on. We had this problem taking on some legacy code during a round of layoffs. They had checked in /their own/ DLLs from subprojects. It turned out that one DLL had unknown modifications not in the source code, and another had no source at all.

Another problem was that by building the way they had, they'd hidden the slowness and complexity of the build - including the same code from different branches via a web of dependencies, and with masses of unused code. They never felt this pain, so had no incentive to keep the code lean.
Yeah, my problem is that I use stock, so no love there :/

This is not the answer you are looking for. But I'm still figuring out that part. One of my problems have been performance/memory usage.Like many of you out there, I don't have endless funds to cover the infrastructure costs. So I have to make with run of the mill VPSs and web hosts. Go's speed and lower memory consumption (compared to my implementation in Python/Django), allows for my financials to stay in check. This project is privately funded, and I'm not SV rich. I will continue talking about the problems as they keep appearing. That is the purpose of the blog. I appreciate the bluntness.

I think that the use of the word property isn't properly aligned with the current law and also isn't the right word to use. That doesn't mean that I believe that all information should be completely free from the moment of creation. A balance is needed and the word 'property' implies too exclusive and permanent a state for either the current law or to an even greater extent my view of a better balance.

I don't believe once published/played/performed the artist/creator has a total exclusive right over the material. The public, fans and anyone that hears or sees the work gain some right over it as it affects their mind and thoughts. This isn't to say that the artist immediately should lose all control and protection but that the people of the culture they put the work into also gain some rights to it. The balance is probably best struck by a duration of exclusive rights and then release although those exclusive rights themselves may have limits.

If you want to keep intellectual property as your own personal property in perpetuity you need to keep it in your own head or otherwise privately secured.

Oh god, another article about gender equality on HN. You would have better luck selling Bieber tickets on a death metal forum.
The guys (well, some of them) are discussing her treatment behind her back. One of them even apologizes every time he swears in a meeting. That means even the ones who care honestly don't know how women want to be treated in a workplace. (Of course, part of the problem is that they are constructing some kind of universal ruleset without considering her as an individual.)

It seems that no one knew which guys were the jerks before because they acted reasonably when women weren't around. I think the same thing happened in tech circles. There are some major assholes and even creepy stalkers that don't really show themselves until women show up, so they go unnoticed for years by the male majority.

>Ideal or not, hazing and bullying has worked for countless millennia to distinguish those you can rely on in a tight spot from those you cannot. The more dangerous the circumstances, the harder becoming accepted by a group seems to be. It's just how humans are.

You're an intelligent guy, surely you realise that this can be used to justify any number of barbaric, animalistic behaviours. I could make up a list of lurid things society should let me do to you and your family by this logic, but like I said, you seem clever enough to imagine them yourself.

Stock as in a Nexus device or stock as in some other OEM skinned device? You shouldn't have problems applying either if you're using stock vanilla AOSP and rooted. OEM skins (touchwiz/sense/etc) though are another thing since you don't have any source code to work off of without modding or using something like Cyanogenmod and they tend to mod a lot of the framework base. Pdroid's patches were to the framework_base part of the Android source from what I recall working with it before. Modding the Android source isn't too bad if you import it into Intellij IDEA or Eclipse though. If you have some questions about where to start, feel free contact me.

Yep - if you're totally organised and completely on top of your app, then there may be little need for a service like this (although I'd say there's still value in the graphs, the multiple alerting channels and all the other good stuff).

We developed Errordite as a result of working on large(ish) eCommerce websites where the wide variety of errors produced made it impossible to understand exactly the different things that could be going wrong - and I think for this kind of thing, where you are not going to always be on top of your errors, Errordite is invaluable.

If you truly want to keep your intellectual work truly and solely to yourself that's fine, just keep it in your head or on secured personal devices.

Once you have shared the work it is not solely yours, others have limited claims on it too. That doesn't mean some exclusive controls on it for a limited time are not a valid balancing of the competing claims of the producer and the recipients of your cultural production.

I like private property. I love to collect things. I just think that it is a privilege awarded by men with sticks, and the more things that you allow to be private property, the bigger your state has to be. If you're a socialist, or a communist, the state growing in order to enforce interpersonal relations doesn't trouble you. If you're a "Libertarian," you don't acknowledge that the problem exists.

>land - I don't prescribe to the ideology that since you can't pick up the dirt to the core of the planet and the air some distance over your head, plus the coordinates and area of that portion of the planets surface and move it it can't belong to you

Me neither:) I subscribe to the position that justifications for private property are things like "I made that" or "this was given to me by someone who made it" or even "I can make the best use of it right now." The only justification for land is that you can defend it. The only ways to get land is to draw lines on the ground and threaten to kill anyone who crosses them, or to license the land from somebody who did. Same for air, oceans and rivers. Land ownership is crystallized violence.

When you have closed groups of people agreeing to defend each other's private property with violence, the only thing stopping them from claiming anyone outside of the group's property as their own private property is the size of their guns. As history shows, this starts with finding representatives (self-appointed or otherwise) to "sell" them land, and with the reification of the title to that land, forcing its residents to pay rent under pain of death. This is called wage labor.

These guys are disrespectful, insulting and pathetic, but at least she got the job and none of the anecdotes suggest they assumed she was incapable of doing that job.

That's already two steps up from Mad Men territory.

And beside the crudeness, which is more a social class difference than anything else, I don't see how this differs from the reports of sexism in tech. At least she's got the (albeit clumsy and inadequate) support of her employer. They weren't advertising job posts for "brogrammers".

Being less crude than construction workers is not exactly a high standard for tech.

You're the "almost" in "almost exclusively". I am too.

When I was younger, I had more time than money, I travelled many a long hour in "cattle class", but I have some pretty awesome experiences to show for it. These days, I've got less time, but much more money, so I'll spend it for more comfort - but I'd be a damn hypocrite if I wanted airlines to do any less than their best to make sure young people of today can get the same experiences.

As we ponder on what orangethirty is up to, lets keep in mind he's not explained or revealed anything at all about Nuuton and for all we know - could be having us on for the sake of self-promotion/promoting Go.

Well, you are right. I am promoting Nuuton. After a almost a year of working on it and not speaking much about it, I decided to start opening up. I don't want for it to fail due to being too secretive. Time will tell if this is the right decision. But I'm having a great time building in Go. If all fails, I will still have the knowledge of doing it.

Edit

I also considered Clojure. Even spoke about it to some people on this board. But it seemed to take me along the same path Lisp did. Still a fine language, though. I have nothing against it. It did not make much sense in my mind.

I don't think they said that. In the faqs they say you don't need to take the GMAT.... which every graduate student has to take.
This is ridiculous. I have come across numerous projects written in half the languages under the sun that were impossible to build and/or run for various reasons, mainly because the original developer had so much stuff in his environment that it depended on. At least Go has urls to original source repos which is a whole lot better than mysterious binary blobs that noone knows what the hell they do let alone where they came from (but were most likely brittle chunks of Fortran77). And if you modify someone elses code and it gets out of sync...well that's a problem but its not Go's fault.
Only if it was open source, I'd be worried about people tampering with it to give it biases for special interests etc.

By the sounds of the article this is British construction workers we are talking about. They have their own culture which is equally as strange as ours, they literally rip on each other all of the time.

Unfortunately in this case in the absence of anything else they chose to pick up on her being a woman.
Thanks, I had already considered switching "trousers" with "pants" and "pants" with "underwear", in which case it's all in the ordering lest you find "trousers" being replaced with "underwear".

Context is a tricky one. It should be doable, but it was a bit beyond the scope of a 1st release. I'm also shamefacedly ignoring the existence of Canadian or Australian English for the time being.

This degree program doesn't allow people without a BS to get a graduate degree. I think it's wrong to say that having an entire Masters degree program from a highly respected institution online and accessible to everybody, everywhere for free doesn't help autodidacts.

The biggest impact for those who don't qualify for admission may be in advancing the legitimacy of online education, with or without a degree.

As an employer, the difference between an awarded MS and a certificate of completion in this program is not going to be that substantial to me. I'm going to interview both candidates to determine their level of knowledge and skill, and both indicators communicate the same educational background.

I expect a natural outgrowth of this sort of thing will be students providing access to his/her detailed course records as part of their resume. If I'm interested in hiring developers for machine learning applications, being able to read the code from those standardized, well-known assignments would be tremendously more useful in skill assessment than asking somebody to code FizzBuzz on the whiteboard and "riddle me this, batman: why are manhole covers round?"

The "GitHub account as resume" idea is an interesting trend, but they're not standardized and I don't have time to digest 20 unique projects in 20 different languages on 20 different frameworks to ferret out the non-boilerplate bits which may tell me something about the candidate.

I'm always telling people here about how they should sell first, and code later. This project has been challenging in that regard, but I have been spending a lot of time figuring out the business aspect of search. It is challenging because one of my main goals is to respect privacy. These days, violating the privacy of the users is a sure way to cash in. But I don't want to do that. As a result, I've had to write a couple of versions to see how it would work out. My current plan incorporates a product line right into the stack. That way, if/when the time comes, I can focus on writing the necessary parts. No need to scramble and try to make it fit.

I do follow the lean principle. But one cannot blindly adhere to them. Nuuton is not the sort of project where you just try and get something to work. There had to be a foundation first. But from now on, development will follow the build-measure-learn cycle. I am open sourcing parts of it. Mostly Go libraries that might result from developing it.

I guess to get food that isn't just crap you need to pick your airline. Singapore aren't too awful, and Delta's chicken salad the other week on my ATL->LHR flight was perfectly OK, but that seems the exception rather than the rule.

I listened to a Radio 4 documentary on airline food the other week which was quite interesting. It revealed, amongst other things, that on many airlines there is a budget of roughly £1 ($1.50) per passenger per meal, which goes some way to explaining the hopelessly poor quality. And no, having travelled business class on a number of occasions, that old line "your taste buds are affected by the pressure" has never worked on me...

I've signed a number of bullcrap NDAs in SF and the valley– small and large companies alike.

Same here. In fact, the most obnoxious ones were from California companies.

There was one company where I had a personal introduction (high school friend knew the CEO) and they still wanted me to sign an NDA just to take a damn coding test. (Not an NDA covering the coding test, but one that included a two-year nonsolicit.) I'm sure there are a lot of junior idiots who are that desperate for startup jobs; me, I told them to rightly fuck off (in nicer language).

New York VC-istan may be worse, but California VC-istan seems to combine New York greed with California presentation, and that's just fucking dishonest. I have a lot more respect for people like traders, who are utterly greedy but completely honest about being so.
