How to be Perceived as an Entrepreneur Role Model
There is a lot I kind of dislike about single-page web apps and I don't think they provide enough benefit to outweigh the inherent complexity of them.

My current favorite combination is server side rendering + knockout. Minimal JS to get the job done and has a mental model that I enjoy. Also, less futzing with yet another template engine like mustache.

Oh, I think I see your point. It has to do, perhaps, with teaching the logic of discovery along with the particular ideas as they developed historically. And in physics, for example, it is really impossible to internalize the ideas without doing problems, which steeps you in the logic of discovery, or at least some of its methods (it doesn't really teach you how to discover new knowledge, but there may be no way to teach that).
Hello, I'd like some feedback about my site. Those who wanted to sign up for reminders but didn't, what prevented you from doing so?
Reading QRs is very straight-forward on Windows Phone (is integrated on the OS and it's a two-tap access from anywhere in the system). As most WP-centric blogs link to apps through QRs that link you straight to the in-phone store, I use it quite a bit.

But of course I wouldn't generally bother to use it on advertising.
"It feels like they always try to hide some equivocation under fancy text, starting with "we define X as Y", then jumping through a natural-language use of X to get Z, then assert "Z is Y"."

This is precisely what I often found irritating. One of my friends once asked me, "You seem to like philosophy -- why don't you do any?" My response was essentially that certain parts of philosophy are simply TOO HARD for me in the sense that it is often all to easy lose objectivity, logically reason about ethics, etc.

"I'll just stick to math, thanks, where I at least know how to systematically approach and think about problems under the framework of accepted mathematical logic."
there's nothing wrong with a 4 or even a 6 hours test for a subject such as philosophy! there's no point in adding time pressure to a philosophy test - the point is not to think efficiently (it's not math or science!), but to think deep, think wide/laterally and to be creative in confined area of thought and to express your thought in a finished and refined form. If you add time pressure, they will just memorize the "correct interpretations" for the test, the "correct way to talk/write about topic x" and so on, just to be able to do things in time (and those who don't memorize ...or cheat, will get worse test scores, so there will be no incentive do things the right way) nulling the whole point of it!

...otoh, having a "philosophy test" in school kind of kills all the use or fun of the subject, but if you do it, at least try to get something out of it by not adding unnecessary constraints!
Facebook is performance art. It's a phonebook of people I lost contact with many years ago. It's also a quasi-broken emailing list program. It might be a decent advertising platform for small businesses. Don't know.

It's not a news feed. It's not stories relevant to me. It's not a way to actually have friends. It's not a place where people create things and share (mostly). People might think it's those things. Hell, Facebook itself will tell you that it's those things, but it's not.

I agree with the article. Facebook's biggest problem is that, because you're always talking to everybody, you really can't say much. Conversation is, and has always been, context-dependent. You don't say things at a funeral home that you would at a keg party. You don't share the same stories with your peers that you would with your grandma.

I've always thought Facebook was from the devil. Anybody that would use my own friends against me to suck me into a network of participating whether I wanted to or not? Not somebody with my best interests in mind.

I only use Facebook with the FB Purify plugin that gets rid of a lot of the spam. Even then, if I could abstract myself completely away from it, and do all of my social networking activity on my O/S without a browser or a layer of commercial crap stuck on top, I would in a heartbeat.

ADD: It might also be a decent shared photo album. Jury is still out on that one.

What really bothers me is not that these services like FB, Twitter, G+, or various cloud storage systems are not useful -- they are. It's that, instead of being internet standards, they're branded properties. And they're all doing the same thing. It's like if email was a completely different thing depending on which ISP you used. These things should be completely abstracted away from any corporate logo. If I want to store things in the cloud, for instance, I could care less who actually keeps the bytes. If I want to reach my high school chums, why the heck do I need some other party to help me do that? I control gigabytes of storage and god knows how many computational cycles on my personal possessions, and I need Google+ to tell me whose birthday it is today? Really?
Those functions could be easily done via syscalls to the underlying OS or simple Assembly routines, as they are quite simple to implement.

None of those four functions use syscalls, nor are any of them simple to implement efficiently in assembly.

Consider that memcpy, under GCC,

* generates different code based on any known alignment of the source or destination

* generates simpler code if the size is known at compile time

* generates only register accesses if one or both of the arguments live in registers

* is elided entirely if GCC determines that it may do so safely

The other three have similar complex behavior. The Rust developers didn't use them just because they were too dumb to know how to write a for loop in assembly.
My experience with public research universities would say that yes, in general you are required to take quite a few courses in many fields that may be outside the realm of your major.

I'm an Information Systems major (BS) and I took two philosophy and two psychology courses, plus archaeology and a bunch of other things in other subjects.

I agree with you: that's about the best you can do if you want to graduate in 4 years.

At least at the universities I know of, majors being too specialized isn't really considered an issue.
But you let this person on your machine. They could install a keylogger as well. Presumably if you're so paranoid you'd not let others user the machine. :)
I just stopped putting my phone number on my CV about a year ago which cut down the calls a great deal.
I think that the issue is that now we mean "Full (Web-)Stack Developer" rather than "Full (Technology-)Stack Developer."
Java does escape analysis, but if I remember correctly, it is no longer used for stack allocation (it is used for other advanced stuff, like lock elision, and replacing objects with scalars) because the JVM GCs have gotten so good that stack allocation provided no significant benefit. The reason is that stack allocation is relevant only for short-lived objects anyway, and for generational GCs, short-lived objects are (almost) a non-issue. GCs struggle much more with long-lived objects, which eventually require compaction, whose cost rises linearly with the size of the live data set. This is the cause of the problems with large heaps mentioned in the comments below.
About 1000:1.
I completely disagree. If anything we are under-specialized. We are pumping out liberal arts grads who have no skills that can pay back their loans. We have created a culture of middle managers without people to manage.
"I would have released it months ago but decided to rewrite nearly everything"

Recipy for disaster. Release early, release often.

However I really admire your passion/enthousiasm.

I also dislike reading the news. I picked up this habit 2 months ago and i feel it wastes so much time.

However its not 100% waste. At least here in Argentina, what I read on the newspaper have direct consequences on economic decisions in the every-day life. Literally, from going to the super market, to spending with your credit-card to buying illegal currency.

On the other hand, Argentina is going through the middle of a political-economical crisis so the news become a very relevant termometer.
Jekyll is great, people should use it, but I wish there was more progress beyond Jekyll.

The thing that kind of blows about Jekyll is you kind of need the local Jekyll environment to build your site. I kind of am starting to get to a point where I want to be able to have some hybrid of a web interface and local dev. Something like using Github's distraction free writing to create the pages, then be able to publish without the local setup.

I guess I should just put a jekyll server in the cloud somewhere...

The US curriculum attempts to teach students how to write, they just don't do a particularly good job at it most of the time. Also, it's very frequent that highschool teachers will still give decent grades to poorly written essays and papers, which may give many students a false impression that they're decent at writing when they really aren't.

(Usually this illusion is shattered once/if they attend university, thankfully.)

Elon Musk's Idea to Reinvent Long-Distance Travel
Would you mind adding a few details on how you set this up (I'm assuming that you're using 'listserv' as a generic term)? Is it on your own machine, through a web host, etc?

I've thought about doing something just like that, but haven't spent the time to figure out a "good" way to set it up.
Why? It is several percents of current world population. As I point out in nearby comment, if you simply divide this number by 100, you'll get rate that is 4x more than individual murder rate.

The invidual murder rate doesn't seem to vary a lot across century: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentiona... (judging by US), and total world population was 4 times lower in the beginning of 20th century, so I guess the "government murders : individual murders" ratio may be even bigger.

And this is not counting sick sad stuff like unfair incancernation: nazi concentration camps, gulag in the USSR, camps in North Korea(where people may spend their whole life after they are born).
For example, USSR government used capital punishment several times less often than imprisonment in gulag. Of course, on average gulag is better than capital punishment, but IMO - it is still government-made violence.

In modern Russia there are a lot of people suffering because court system is fucked up: 99%+ of court verdict are convictions(<1% acquittals). Of course, not all cases get in court(some get closed before), but it is not so difficult to fake evidence.
This is not an officially and centrally declared violence, but still it is violence. Regular criminals rob random people too.

Customizing your Document Routing in Elasticsearch
The philosophy 101 course I took actually did go into great detail regarding arguments various philosophers have made (and counter-arguments that other philosophers have given), including Hume, Descartes, Socrates, and a few others. Only the very beginning was spent on the history of the topics, and of the people. I definitely came out of the class with a better grasp on philosophy and argument construction than I did before it.

So, your experience may have just been limited to your university or area.
Hey, I started working on this site as a way to learn rails last summer and finally managed to fix it up and release it.

Jobs are sourced from AngelList, the resumator, jobscore, indeed, simply hired, stack overflow and github and are grouped by job/internship and technical/nontechnical using primarily keyword filtering.
I've pulled in metadata(year founded, # employees, funding) about the companies from AngelList, Crunchbase and Linkedin to try and make it easier to filter by companies you might be interested in.

Anyway, I'd love any feedback people have and would be happy to answer any questions

EDIT: error should be fixed, sorry about that.

>"the vast majority of "autistic" individuals I have come across ..."

That is very relative though.

My son was diagnosed with PDD-NOS almost three years ago, and for me the vast majority of "autistic" individuals are his mates which happens to be in the high functional side of the spectrum too. I am sure that they will not only take advance of Coursera courses but also they will excel at the college.
As a fledgling designer, I think it has some cool features:

a) Gives you an place to see how other designers interpret a concept, some good some not so good, helps build your eye for your style.

b) Gives you a chance to show/hone your work, build your portfolio, and get clients.
I agree, I've been saying it for years that there should be two mandatory modules on every university course: Philosophy and Physical Education. The baseline of requirement is a formed body and a formed mind.

Universities in Poland do at least PE and in most cases have an introduction to philosophy in first year. I moved to England to study and I was shocked to discover they don't care about this at all.
Going by what I know of Azul's systems, their pauseless GC avoids a 1 second delay per GB of heap by focusing on solving the hardest case vs. deferring it. When running on their custom hardware (generic 64 bit RISC + their special sauce) it uses an instruction to cheaply implement a read barrier. According to a paper describing this system, which they've since improved, doing that on stock (x86_64) hardware would incur a ~20% performance penalty. If your application uses a lot of memory and can't afford pauses that's probably OK.
This is a good way to look at things. It is also very frustrating when there are administrative barriers to working the full stack. Not that I advocate handing out root password with your new employee badge, but I don't like it when it is easier to call the ops team than just take a quick peak yourself.
Somehow it seems unfair for Google to suggest that people spend time with the disavowal tool to correct deficiencies in Google's algorithms.

I self-describe as a full-stack web developer because I've worked on both the front-end and back-end without distinction, and have no particular preference to working on either. Is this considered a bad thing? I don't consider myself a 'rockstar.'

It is pretty disappointing that these comparisons always seem to consider the server side template case as "we did it in the most horrible way possible, I know all the issues we had were solved long ago and we could do it right, but lets pretend that isn't possible because I want an excuse to do everything in javascript".
Yeah, that's the biggest misunderstanding about the teaching of philosophy in France. At the start you think "Cool, I'm going to learn to think by myself!", though what you actually do is learn what other famous thinker have been thinking, and spit it out in your personal fashion.
It really has little to do with thinking by yourself, it's more about answering an open question by cleverly articulating school of thought.

Quite disappointing , but still very enlightening (even more if your teacher is cool).

Maybe add a link to MIT OpenCourseWare? As I wasn't aware of MIT OCW before, but I've just tested/inscribed (I also may have accidentally put a date in the past for my first email)
> the point is not to think efficiently (it's not math or science!),

That's not the difference between philosophy and math. The difference is one of effectivity, not efficiency. Science adds real-world relevance, but substracts rigour.
Hit Find jobs! and the application threw an error: "We're sorry, but something went wrong."
I disagree!!! Facebook is great from the sender side and so is G+ but both suck at the receiving side. What we need is not a way to select who we spam as that is a feature that would be ignored by the loud mouths. We need a feature to select what we receive. There are "friends" I easily want to read all ten messages per day but there are others that I just want to be on my friend list cause it publicly shows my appreciation but that are too noisy to actually read their updates about their cat pooping again.

I am well connected in 3 communities that are not mutually compatible, so I don't share everything I would share if I were only in community #2 because I spam-filter on the sending side what I send to all 3 communities. This sucks for my community #2 friends cause they miss out on #2 stuff and it sucks for those that really are not interested in #2. If #1 and #3 people could black list buzz words from my #2 community (bitcoin for example), I could share much more with the peace of mind not to annoy my other "friends".
The adhesive foil was something I had around (though it was similar to this[0]). Wood sheets was from amazon.de[1]. For US equivalents, this foil looks similar[2]. The wood sheets I couldn't find any equivalent to, but it was declared as poplar/cottonwood. Searching for "plywood sheet" seems to get some close results. Only thing you really have to look out for is that they're light enough.

Traits of a Solid PR Pro
You didn't mention if you were looking to use 99designs or work for them. I'd never recommend doing free design, but it can work out if you're looking for a designer.

You can certainly find lowend design agencies or student designers, so thinking you'd otherwise spend $10,000+ isn't completely accurate.

I challenge whoever downvoted this to come up with a good reason why. This debate is really over personal preference. I've simply given evidence against it. I don't even completely agree.
You can do that if you deploy your Jekyll blog to GitHub Pages (which, why wouldn't you?). Just go into your repo on their web interface, create your post file in distraction free "Zen mode", and commit.
