This was a link where I just went straight to the commentary to see who else is old school.

I view this as mostly an execution issue from Yahoo. People were buying companies, but there were very few examples of good integration. Instagram actually is such an example.
Thank you Helen. Some great feedback there. You're point "Your landing page should make people say 'hell yes' in 1 big headline, 3 bullet points and 2 small screenshots. A real hit between the eyes." resonated poignantly with me. I think you hit the nail on the head. It wasn't obvious at first what we were selling.

I've done some redesigning on our 'marketing' pages to better illustrate what we are selling.

Thank you for taking the time to give your thoughts!

I think the parent of your comment meant:
"the speed optimization is important if we want to have UIs as complex as an IDE _built with these new APIs_" --because polyfills do lots of work to emulate browser features.
But it’s a stream of water, not a stream of fish. Fish swim in schools. I guess the G+ ‘stream’ could be renamed to ‘school’, but that’d be confusing.
Of course it autofills your most-used commands. It does it for me, anyway.

Unfortunately Steve Jobs broke the lock on the Pandora's Box that contained Walled Gardens so in light of that, this seems an obvious step for Google and could likely work simply because of scale and ease of adoption - something that the existing apps don't have in comparison.
I was wondering recently if someone had ever done this. Do you have any examples/links?
Sorry, but no. It's absolutely not the same thing at all. There is absolutely no conflict between being entirely public and open with the majority of your online activities, yet standing up for the rights of those who do need privacy, such as children or political activists or possibly women in some situations. We all need and expect privacy in some activities such as banking or voting records, but that's entirely compatible with generally living life in the open. My name is Simon Hibbs and outside perhaps one or two minor and very short lived cases, I have never used any other identity online.
But if usernames are released publicly in forums, google crawled pages etc, then an attacker already knows the existence of a subset of the accounts at least.

For example, somebody attacking HN can crawl pages such as this one and determine that 'skeletonjelly' is a valid HN user.
As a tall person (200cm) . I wasn't able to do wallsits (or walk stairs) when I was in puberty. It hurts the knees.

Speaking of knee injury. Practice squat techniques very well. IT might look easy, but doing them well takes a lot of practice. Your knees shouldn't go further than your toes, otherwise it's really bad for your knees!
The headline probably should have "bad" or "inexperienced" before "developers" because this is a handy discriminator for things like interviews, etc.
I'm not sure if this is the problem but maybe running fish_update_completions is worth a try.
It's great to see that some people are remaining level-headed after the amount of butthurt that was caused at the recent convention.

I use one of the other Chrome extensions extending GMail: http://www.activeinboxhq.com/. It works well.

The one thing Google will need to address is GMail's memory usage - it's bad enough on its own, but once you start adding extensions to it... I no longer keep GMail open unless absolutely necessary.

Stripe only lets me choose one currency for an account, as far as I know.

The target market is everywhere! I didn't want to plug it above, but it's a new photography community which you can currently see in beta: https://photographer.io.

I have some really active users in the UK, EU, USA, Australia, and some great photos from someone in Senegal right now.

I suppose I could always display a different currency but always bill in one, though that then involves fiddling with conversion rates.

It's also been shown that we like to be consistent with what we've already said, so perhaps unstated opinions are more subject to change than stated ones.
What rankles about Google is their hypocrisy.

Google is an order of magnitude more evil than Microsoft had ever hoped to be and yet Microsoft was unabashed for who they were. Google continues to deceive. Deception is a fundamental component of their corporate strategy.

Thank you, sir, for representing the underrepresented!
That's the problem I'm facing at the moment; each currency would be relevant to a certain section of my current user base. Plenty of users in the USA, about the same in the UK and EU, and a sizeable number in Australia too. I'm not sure if Stripe incurs extra charges for using non-native currencies; I've tried looking through their docs but the UK documentation is a little sparse right now.
I'd love for another company to come out that has the clean interface and reliability of gmail, with even more security and better customer service. This is a great time for a disruptor.

Any company can compete with many Google products if they have a product that is almost as good, if not better, with way better customer service.
It also works for some commands even if you never run them before. For instance curl --i<nsecure> (and I never ran curl --insecure). Also pressing tab will display all curl flags starting with i and a one line description from the man page. Pretty neat.
In the past year and a half, I started at least a different dozen projects. None of them is finished, or in a "correct" state.
I would start something, to stop it half way through in order to start something else. I would sit on the computer to work, and start gaming a few minutes later. . .

But lately, within 3 weeks, I popped up my first android application on the store; without any prior knowledge on database, webscrapping or anything else I needed to build the app.

The difference? The users.
A friend of mine called me saying : Hey, I do that every morning, and the current way of doing it is a pain. I am sure you can do something for me.

And magically enough, I got motivated, working my arse off to get the first version finished. Since it is on the market, I got 60 recurring users and growing. And this keeps me motivated. I put hours on the project, just because I get feedback.

So the conclusion: Do something that someone asked you to. Get your users first, start working afterwards.
Don't be alone.

If you don't have users, then join a project that has already started, in order to code with someone and get some interaction.

I think that for a good 90% of us, what keeps up working is the passion for solving problems others have.

Hope this helps :)
I had the same problems. Until I was kinda forced to do a lot of work in my free time. Well I had to decide, walk away and let three other people down or just do it. That was the start of a couple of month where I worked every sunday for 8 hours on the project. For other people this is maybe easy, for me it was huge.

And the best part was it affected everything else. I started just getting things done I wanted to accomplish.

I did also some reading about willpower, how it works in our brain and how we can train it. It's a really fascinating topic and helped me alot.
> became little shits

no child just becomes a "little shit". It takes a lot of time and effort to create one.

Children have some certain negative aspects in them and have some positive aspects in them. Parenting is all about making good aspects stronger and negative aspects weaker.

Recently, my child started yelling like crazy. She will just start screaming at a restaurant thinking it's fun (3 year old). Or just yell at 3 am. I could yell back and make this negative aspect stronger, instead I enrolled her to the music classes to channel all this yelling energy into something good. Guess what, she yells less.

It's all about the parents.

My main concern regarding the new Google+ is how slow and resource consuming it is. Using Firefox 21 on OSX, scrolling is just a continuous pain, and my browser hangs up quite often with the Rainbow Wheel of Death. Switching to the single column layout gets things better, but still, far from being a slick experience.

Regarding the design, they gave the ability to switch back to a single column layout. Still people complain about the new design, just switch back if you don't like it.
I'm curious about your calculations - my calculations suggest the probability of an assault goes up with the number of women.

Assume the probability of an individual man being an assaulter is beta, with alpha the fraction of women. Assume further any person interacts with K people at a conference, and if one of them is a woman he will assault her. Under the assumptions, the probability of an individual at the conference being assaulted is 1-pow(1-alpha, kbeta(1-alpha)).

That number increases, at least until approximately alpha ~= 60%.

tl;dr Basic rule of interaction models. More interactions == more interaction effects.

Sadly, whereas tech conferences should be about the tech and the cool, interesting and rewarding things we can do with it, it instead becomes dragged down into a drama, where one woman can do more damage to other women then all the men present (thinking about the pycon incident). As my colleague a female developer, often says "These gynosaurs ruin it for the rest of us".
Science says believing (i.e. religion) makes people's lives happier, longer, more productive. So, why you don't believe in any religion? Science says it's good for you. Paradox perhaps?

Many times I have realized that if you are not able to get something or get something done, its because you are focusing on it too much. And in such cases, I try to go for the tangential focus approach. What I mean by that is that instead of trying to build what exactly you want to build or instead of trying to learn what exactly you are trying to learn, do something else which is tangentially related (kind of difficult to explain this though but you will get it if you get it).

We are women of Perl and we're actually quite happy with our

I was unaware that there even were Perl conferences anymore - can anybody involved here give some overview of the different Perl conferences and any history of gender issues?
Sure, but I guess there's no one single security model that fits all situations. I guess that's what I meant by "best practice". Obviously internet banking usernames wouldn't be listed somewhere public
From the original announcement [1]:

"Today, we are introducing schemas in emails to make messages more interactive and allow developers to deliver a slice of their apps to users’ inboxes.

Schemas in emails can be used to represent various types of entities and actions. Email clients that understand schemas, such as Gmail, can render entities and actions defined in the messages with a consistent user interface."

I haven't looked into this in any depth but it doesn't necessarily seem Gmail specific (a good thing) but it does mean even more clicky buttons in an interface where I can't easily see what those buttons actually do (less good from a security/phishing standpoint).

Thank you, both.
Hey,

I think you should first decide whether you are happy in the company (or can be if there are some changes) or not. If you are (or can be) happy, then you should definitely sit down with the company owners. If you feel that you can't be happy there, you should quit and look for a new job and the sooner the better - otherwise you might burn out or loose the joy that software development gives you because of your current job.

If you have decided to sit down with your boss, my opinion is the following:
1. You are there from the beginning. That probably means that you have a lot of knowledge of the business and products. This makes you very valuable and irreplaceable to them! Use this in your advantage when negotiating. Keep in mind that it will take a lot of time, money and effort to get someone to the same level as you are at the moment.

2. Have a clear list of requirements and requests. What kind of a title do you want to have? What kind of work would you like to do? What will make you a happy and motivated employee? What kind of salary do you want? Just go all out on the list! Put everything that you want and then some so you can drop back in the negotiations. A positive side effect of making this list is that you will also identify to yourself whether there is something in this company that can make you happy.

3. When you sit down with your boss, remind him of all the work that you have done for the company and explain to him why you deserve what you want.

Remember that just because you have spent so much time with this company, it doesn't mean that you can't find something better. Also, if you decide to leave I would recommend either starting something for yourself (freelance, startup) or joining a bigger company/corporation - while the job can be a bit boring compared to that in a startup, it certainly will be a nice change for you - you will get better pay, company perks and much more relaxed environment. If you can afford it, also take some time to rest before your new job - travel a bit, party hard and all the nice things :)

Hope that helps!
What users? If Geocities had users to piss off, they wouldn't have needed to shit it down.
Perhaps if you hadn't used average IQ as a measure of the populations ability to decide on a leader I might have been able to take this comment seriously.

It is really no harder to manipulate or indoctrinate someone with a high IQ. It's not a measure of resistance to the former.

Of course, a perfectly reasonable question is "how many people does it take to give someone the right to kill?". If 66 million is enough, is 50 million? 10 million? How about a hundred thousand? Which countries, therefore, have leaders with the moral backing to do so, and which are too small.

The idea that popular support makes murder acceptable is ludicrous in and of itself, if you doubt this look at our depictions of Hitler.
Oh my gosh. I worked fo a startup, the guy ended up owing me AUD$17,000 and has refused to pay it.

I'm working on stuff like this but from the ground up. You can't get any meaningful innovation until you can allow people/devs a way to access the system at a deeper level than Gmail will allow.
Well, what exactly legal obligations does that requirement impose on the ISP? If they're allowed to refuse any request, then the law wouldn't be needed in the first place - government agencies can certainly send whatever non-enforceable requests they like without needing a specific law to let them do so.

All hard sciences have sufficient evidence to back them up. Whether it is mathematical proofs, experimental evidence, etc. There is no hard evidence for the social sciences. Astronomers can predict orbits with incredible accuracy millions of years into the future. Social sciences haven't been able to create a single useful model.

Also, you said, "However, we seem to have made huge strides in our understanding of the cosmos." That is very different from the social sciences. I don't think we know anything more about human nature today than Shakespeare did in the 1500s.

Yes, you missed the part where I said this that was a generalised comment and that I'm aware this specific attack isn't a practical real-world vulnerability.

What you're doing is that typical thing that people do online when they're so busy trying to assert their intellectual superiority that you completely miss the point that was being raised.

I know the poll specifically asks about the real name in the profile, but I want to point out that 'generic usernames' (mine's particularly silly and mostly kept because it's close enough to line noise to be usually available _and_ with me for a good deal more than a decade) don't change the 'real identity' thing in general.

If I wouldn't have my real name in my profile, you'd still be able to figure out who I am in a second.
Even if that would _not_ be the case: Given that I am my handle on the internet and keep it everywhere I go, I'd say that this is more useful and even more personal than my 'real name'.
This comment concerns me, as I would get a real "He Who Fights Monsters..." vibe off anyone who created a single-purpose legal for-profit consultancy purely to combat single-purpose legal for-profit consultancies who happen to be doing horrible things at the moment.

Welcome to Google Island
The 3600x speedup is correct. You can't compare the 'exact' solution of the D-Wave problem in the d-wave machine with a probabilistic algorithm like Simmulated Annealing. Sure, in practice you're using the approximate algos, with their comparable speedup.

I think the "skeptics" will bash D-Wave until, but probably after their systems are running circles around traditional computing.

The most ugly, short guy (ok, almost the most) I have seen in my life was the biggest playboy I have ever met. He could have any women he wanted.

It would be long story, but when observing him one thing came to mind: he knew how to talk to women. Just imagine that the guys nickname was a "Beast". He was that ugly. I've seen him just once in my life. We went on a trip in College and his College was on a trip at the same place. It was a 3-days trip to the Mountains. He really had a lot of girls every night. Don't ask me how, I don't know. It was (and still is when I think about it) like magic to me. All the dudes where in a deep wow-factor. I mean we - of course - were jealous, but also curious. How he does this? Like he could have put some spell on these girls. Never seen something like that before in my life.

One of the friends from college - a girl - told us she used to go to the same high school as him - so of course guys started asking her all the questions about him. She didn't look comfortable to talk about it, but admitted the guy had slept with most pretty girls in high school, plus some (married!) teachers. When someone asked her if he slept with her too she just gave us that look.

The only explanation I could have thought of is this proverb:
Men fall in love through their eyes. Women fall in love through their ears.

Look at Hawking. He has wife, he has kids, grandchildren etc.

Looks may be important for women but not as much as other aspects - self-esteme, wealth, being popular, etc. They crave powerful men. Or the ones who convince them they are. Or they really like the way they are bulshitted, when the bulshitter is really skilled. Or I don't know. But really, your looks is non-factor, trust me.

Several purple have mentioned 'incompatibilities' and I don't understand the problem: sure fish syntax is different and fish cannot be used to run a sh script, so just don't try to run sh scripts with fish. Every script I've run across starts with #!/bin/sh and I can use it from fish with no difficulty (it starts up a sh). The only issue I had is that Vim assumes that your shell is sh compatible, so I put a set shell=sh in my .vimrc and now all the shell stuff in vim runs fine. What problems did you mean?

Be careful of Stripe, if you're in the UK.

You currently need a US bank account to charge in dollars. They are looking at multi-currency, but it's not available yet.

You can charge in multiple currencies - they advised setting up multiple Stripe accounts.
Not a very useful comparison, to be honest: Shopify is a well-established company at this point, and I'm a startup. Obviously I have every intention of creating a great environment for and with the team, but in the beginning, it's only possible to say that, not show it. So you're asking to see something (videos, pictures, and testimonials from the team) that no startup -- ever -- can demonstrate. You can't eat a pie before you have it.
