Please reccomend best kids development environment
My 6 yr old spent hours yesterday starting to compose the storyline and interface for his first digital game. He's using Paper App on iPad to sketch it out. I am amazed at level of sophistication he is showing having designed a lit of interfaces for apps.

Any of you have recommendations for development platforms for kids that will teach him fundamentals, while still letting him create something to be proud of? I want him to be able to see results, while still challenging him to learn. Thanks for any help you can provide. I have a tiger by the tail.

I'm sorry it came off that way. I am very aware that the script in its current form does not come remotely close to doing justice given all of the data thats out there and necessary to incorporate. I meant to make it clear in the article that this script is completely elementary – it was a fun thing to code, but nothing remotely resemblant of what it takes to predict sports with accuracy.
The real drawback to this approach is that it ensures no one will prepare for the meeting and the 'discussion' will consist of kneejerk reactions to what they have just read. It is eminently unsuitable for discussing anything important and if it is not important then why have the meeting in the first place.

I dream of a day when there is a Minister for Communications that doesn't cause Australia, once again, to be an internet-culture punchline.

I've been dreaming of it since at least 1997.

Unfortunately, that portfolio is a parking lot for factional warlords who want the money and prestige, but who also need time off from actual work to keep heavying backbenchers, interfering with preselections and so on and so forth.

Malcolm Turnbull is the current Shadow Minister. And because of the political requirement to Differentiate(tm), his name is currently "mud" in the local technology world. It's a pity. He has actual tech industry pedigree as an investor, is widely regarded as one of the more thoughtful senior politicians of either stripe and his temper tantrums are very entertaining.

I fully expect that once the election is over Turnbull will be trundled off to something like Pacific Affairs and some dunderheaded blockhead who controls some faction in the NSW Liberals will be rotated in to take the spot.
You have a point, but you are also missing the point. Quite a few people who could benefit from a formal Master's program in CS which is also from a competitive University, may not have the time due to career and family to attend classes full time. But this way they can still get their education
Actually it's not. Go! is a totally different language.

But more on topic. This has happened ever since I first started frequenting this site in 2009 (2008?). People upvote links that interest them almost without regard to whether it's already on the frontpage. Personally, I like it. When the first article on topic A gets posted and you get 300 comments, it becomes unwieldy to join in the conversation. The other discussions tend to focus on other issues with topic A or are simply easier to join in on since there are fewer comments overall.

AMIs definitely aren't for storing highly variable data. I use AMIs in two ways:

1) I create a base AMI for each group of my servers that have similar environments. For example, I may have a base image v1.3 for general wordpress sites, or v1.1 for rails + redis. By doing this, I greatly reduce the amount of manual setup when I want to load a new server, and I know that when my server is up, it has all the tools and configurations that I need in order to just start deploying my code.
2) I create nightly snapshots of all of my attached volumes and also create a backup AMI of all of my current servers. These are ONLY for recovering servers that are not changing minute-by-minute, or for easily rolling back if something terrible happens and I just need to start fresh.

You can use an Ec2 + an AMI + an EBS volume for whatever you'd like, including a database. If the server goes down, you will not lose a thing, since your EBS persists. You also don't have to manually mount/unmount - that's all taken care of for you automatically. There have been some rare issues in the past with EBS volumes dying, so for critical data, I would definitely consider some sort of replication.
Thank you for the article. Believe me, I am very much aware that this is elementary. I hoped to – but apologize that I didn't – make it clear that making predictions requires incorporating many many factors. It was a fun script for me to code, and I was excited to see it work the night I wrote it. But I also understand that this will need more testing and to be based off of far more information to be anywhere close to accurate.

I think that if I find a scanner for cell phone conversations and find cell phone conversations that are unencrypted, I should legally be able to listen to them. (But I am pretty sure it is currently illegal to do that.)

No, I don't think that should be legal. Many places have data protection & privacy laws. If you get access to private information, you can't do what you want with it. I'm fine with that being the law and ethics.

Thanks for your helpful link to a google search for "NSA wiretap".

None of the links you post have anything to do with "storing all text messages". Exaggeration like this just turns people cold to bothering to read about genuine privacy concerns.

The issues you post are real and probably wrong and should be challenged legally, where evidence exists (a lot of the AT&T stuff is based on evidence from a single former employee), but when you confuse Warrentless Wiretapping with "storing all text messages", it makes me want to not listen to what you're saying.

Misogyny is, in my experience, a function of the power dynamic in a situation. As an engineer working on site the author is placed in a position of authority, but one with no direct power over the workers that she is encountering on site. She is at the same time both threatening, due to her high status, and powerless, because her influence over the work is indirect.

I find this behavior disgusting but it is, I feel, the answer to the question posed by the author: "But they must leave at some point and see wives/daughters/sisters/mothers/random women in the street.. Is the point less about novelty or even sex, and much more about straightforward intimidation?"

It is pretty much about intimidation and resentment by some and a group dynamic that forces others to play along or ignore the situation. I can't speak to the situation in Britain but in my part of the world I can say that things have improved substantially in the last 15 or so years but there is still a long way to go. Contrary to what anyone might tell you though, it is not a case of "boys will be boys" - the fact of the matter is that the management and foremen can change the culture if they want to, I have seen it happen, someone in charge just needs to have the resolve to say it won't be tolerated and actually act on it.

Yeah, pdroid as in its Android 2.3 form is wont work. Before OpenPdroid, I had to manually merge changes into the ASOP source by hand and do a little tweaking. You should be all good with takju. I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus (toro) and build AOSP fine with that.

All the proprietary binaries are on Google's site[1] for Nexus devices or can be pulled from your device under /vendor/ (in the past, google sometimes failed to put up a few like the camera or bluetooth so had to get those via your device or a trusted repository). Alternatively, you can pull them from a repository maintained by a some of the more well known Android ROM modders using the directions I put up here (https://github.com/yareally/android_proprietary_files). Also you'll have to get a google apps package (or alternatively build it yourself) if you compile AOSP since you won't have access to the Android Market and such otherwise (stock AOSP resembles what you get in the emulator). A premade google apps package I would trust (and use myself when I don't want to build my own) can be located on goo.im[2]. They'll say Cyanogenmod, but they'll work for stock AOSP just the same.

Here's a thought: if we're serious about patent trolling, I mean really serious about it then why not march? I'm talking about demonstrating in front of cityhall with signs and speakers on megaphones. I'm talking about a rally against patent trolling. If potheads can get together for their 420 rallies then why can't we get together in a visible way to express our views? The quote from Howard Beal in the The Network (excellent movie, by the way) was especially apt.

We start by designating an official "patent free day", blessed by the EFF and Free Software Foundation. This is the day that we hold our demonstrations. Imagine the sight of hundreds of out of shape engineers demonstrating with their pocket protectors -- they must be serious. I'd do it, at least if it was over the weekend. For me, at least, it would be awkward to do it over a weekday, because the company I work for is big on patents (even though the rally is really against patent trolling and not software patents themselves, although I am against those as well).

Do it.

There are certainly ways to recover from such episodes but if the people who caused that episode had the capacity to, as the article puts it, "put your hands up and say sorry", they wouldn't be in this mess in the first place.

Another proven tactic is sitting it out. Just disappear from the surface of the, well, Internet. People tend to forget rather quickly and the next Facebook/Reddit/Twitter meme is just around the corner.

And then, the rare conditions are starved of funding because everyone votes to throw more money at cancer/something well publicised because they spend a lot of money in marketing.

I wouldn't be surprised if quite a lot of funding for rare (and not photogenic) stuff came from 'selfish' wealthy individuals with a vested interest.

No, didn't know Racket first, though I had a little experience with it, it really only translated to a general comfortablness with higher-order functions and the S-expression syntax (which I now find as transparent as curly-brace syntax).

I did try to go with Clojure at first, but found the entire ecosystem to be very haphazard. I already knew that Racket was easy to install and easy to use, so when I started running into trouble with getting Clojure to run on Windows and Linux (it seems it is super easy if you're on OS X, but eff that noise). Also, there was no one setup with Clojure. It was clear that Clojure without Leiningen was half a product, and I consider Leiningen to be a terrible piece of software.

As for learning resources for Clojure, that was another area where I felt like Racket won out. The Racket community is very, very friendly and extremely knowledgable, and the documentation at racket-lang.org is (mostly) extremely good. The sections on macros and continuations seems like they were written by someone with intimate mathematical knowledge of the issues, but not a lot of understanding of what beginners go through, but there are other sites (Scribble-based, even!) that do a better job of explaining the features.

And yeah, I didn't want to be tied to the JVM. Clojure ends up slightly slower than raw Java because of the need to emulate certain Lispy features, and years of Java AND C# development have given a very poor opinion of the JVM. Sure, there are more libraries available, but just how many do you need? There are some holes in Racket's library ecosystem, but it's been fun trying to fill them in and I think it's a site better scenario than having 15 different ORMs to choose from, and none of them are very good.

With Clojure, I had to install a JVM, then Clojure, then Leiningen, then plugins for Vim or Emacs or whatever, then a dozen and a half dependencies for the web framework, a lot of which are still in beta, have interface-breaking changes, and the documentation hasn't kept up. It was a nightmare of poorly executed distribution, something that drives me up a wall.

With Racket, you install Racket. It has other dependencies that it needs, but it handles it because it has a real installer. You can use Vim or Emacs if you want, but you don't have to right away. You import web-based dependencies in almost the exact same way you import standard libraries. In fact, you can even do it in the same require statement:

(require net/smtp ;; standard library for interfacing with a sendmail server
(planet mordae/couchdb:1:11) ;; a reference to a specific version of a CouchDB API from a specific user
(planet xtofs/firmata/firmata)) ;; a reference to whatever is the latest version of "Firmata", a library for Arduino programming.
You seem to be all over this thread saying "oh well this is bad but men also have it equally bad sexism is exaggerated etc etc".

I agree that women can be shitty to men. But men, in general, can be far shittier to women. Being patronised by your female relatives is a completely different league to having sexual abuse shouted at you by strangers (strangers who should be subordinate to your professional expertise).

And yes, I've worked in blue collar jobs (factories, as a cleaner, as a binman), and I too found it hard to fit in with that culture. But I had it nowhere near as bad as this woman did.
One thing I do notice is that the sort of places that participate in more "Hazing" type behavior do often have a keener sense of loyalty and justice, perhaps because there is a stronger bond between people.

Rather than the typical corporate america style "rat race" where everyone is very polite but happy to stab each other in the back for their own aims.
Sorry, I should have said "feels like a lot for my scenario".

Well, it's not exactly the same, is it? Firstly, when straight men make gay jokes at each other, everyone knows it isn't true, it's just a joke. Straight sexual jokes are more likely to have a component of truth to them, which makes them must less pleasant to receive. Jokes between men are part of how men establish pecking orders, but sexual jokes are part of how men signal their attraction to women. Unwanted sexual advances feel unpleasantly intrusive. They're supposed to feel that way. It's a part of human sexuality - we're all strongly motivated to push for our own sexual autonomy.

Secondly, there's the fact that these jokes single her out. She's the only one getting sexual and sexist jokes, so that makes her a special target. If it were all those men making constant gay and sissy jokes to a gay man, you wouldn't think twice about calling it bullying. Hazing becomes bullying if one person gets singled out.

Bullying with a sexual component is straight up sexual harassment. Maybe it isn't meant that way, but that's exactly what it is. A lot of bullying exists because dumb people don't think about what they are doing. "It's just a joke," they say. But it's not. It's the same joke, every day, from everyone. This is exactly the kind of situation where an employer has to step in and tell everyone to grow up and leave it at home. And when I say they have to, I mean it's the law, and they're going to get sued.

Also, the less direct sexism the writer faces show that she is not being treated like the men. The assumption that she is lost or trespassing because she is a lone woman on a building site is pretty sexist. Sure, women working on building sites are rare, but so are women getting lost on building sites. The whole asking if she was "fit" e-mail conversation was cringe inducing - and completely not how a man would be treated.

Really? It seems fine to me.
There's a reason why the vast majority of "jobs" on this site are either for interns or co-founders (with the "co" part being actually making stuff).

There's no money in Dutch startups, very little investment.

So with some very rare exceptions, most startups pay way less than traditional IT, and you can shout all you want about only wanting young an hungry talent willing to work for equity (also quite relative, very few Dutch startups flip or go IPO), this is seriously hampering their potential for attracting talent.

Especially in a country that may be less risk-averse than most European countries, but still way more than the US.
