You are giving up too early. You can make money on this product, but you just have to be willing to spend time learning to market it.

And by market I don't mean advertise. I mean, finding a group of people who really need inventory management and then tailoring your app to their specific needs.

For example, how many $1000s of dollars a year do restaurants lose from inventory spoilage? How does that compare with the cost of paying someone to enter all that data into your system?

Because, as a business owner, I only care about how your app is going to make or save me money.

One more thing. Not every type of business does well with a no-touch sales process. I suspect that with something like inventory management, you'll want to focus on an industry, go to trade shows, and really insert yourself into that world. Bizdev is really underrated in this self-serve world.

Wonder if they're going to merge Cricket and Aio...
Agreed; although the only thing worse than not finding it is finding it all over the place. I've worked with Python code where the developer liked to use member names like "type" and "id" -- my 'ag' output is useless in that case.

I'm still trying to figure out how Python projects scale to any appreciable size; I suspect maybe they don't. I've worked on several million-line codebases in statically-typed languages, are there any truly large Python projects?
I see. That is good to know; I merely chose mutating global variables in a loop because I knew how to do that in both languages. (I am not very familiar with Python.) That is not the idiomatic way to do it in Arc, either. I would normally use a recursive function, like this:

arc> (time:xloop (i 0 n 0) (if (> i 100000000) n (next (+ i 1) (+ n i))))
time: 9121 cpu: 9130 gc: 0 mem: 480 ; the times are in msec
5000000050000000

Or perhaps a "higher-order function":

arc> (time:sum idfn 1 100000000)
time: 19889 cpu: 19908 gc: 0 mem: 1224
5000000050000000

Or use a deforestation macro that I wrote, which is closest to your Python example:

arc> (time:thunkify:reduce + (range 1 100000000))
time: 17971 cpu: 17985 gc: 0 mem: 3592
5000000050000000

Also, here's what you can get by dropping into Racket:

arc> (time:$:let loop ((i 0) (n 0)) (if (> i 100000000) n (loop (+ i 1) (+ n i))))
time: 402 cpu: 403 gc: 0 mem: 920
5000000050000000

I suppose Python has an analogue of that--dropping into C, or at least loading C libraries. Which Racket can do too. Mmm.

FirefoX is now the New Browser To use if you want privacy and security but wait there is more: the sole act of installing it is a charitable donation towards the free internet. Firefox problems aside (caugh no multiprocess execution model caugh) thats still a strong sales pitich. And that is one of the few (hip?) trends WE get to influence if not decide the choice wich Browser our close aquaintances use. And that is awesome and and i encurage everyone to excersise it.

You would want to go further and actually have laws passed to make metadata collection and foreign surveillance illegal (or at least more strictly controlled) since otherwise they'd still be legal after repealing FISA and its amendments. And then go further along with repealing the odious portions of the USA PATRIOT Act.
I was just about to link to Pure since it looks almost identical on the surface (and I just tried it out this morning for a prototype). For those wondering, Pure comes in at ~4kb.
this is unfair. most people don't buy cars for the pleasure of driving. bose is like most cars - trying to appeal to "normal" consumers, giving them something "special" (small speakers with big sounds, or noise cancelling, say - things that are easy to demo) within a price.

audiophile equipment is more like the ariel atom - an awesome car to drive, but no-one normal would get one. where would you put the kids? or the shopping?

and i say this as an "audiophile" - i love messing around seeing which dac pairs best with which speakers/amp (or hanging rugs on walls...). but i know that makes me not-normal.
Here is the content of the post and afterwards, the content of the G+ +1 auto share and my brief editorial:

Thank you Google Plus for including this in my stream without my consent. At least it wasn't a nude like it was yesterday. This is not something I wouldn't have pop up in my stream in the middle of the afternoon with visitors in the house. I also find it degrading. And no, this isn't a forced post by my wife. Although if you keep putting sexually explicit posts in my stream, it could cause problems.

Auto Shared: Large Blue Meme stating: Women wake up yawning and men wake up with erections. Coincidence?

Editorial: I get to choose where I put the people I follow. Sometimes I follow someone because they may develop or have an interest in Linux. Maybe the Banjo. Could be health or news.

Grant it, not everyone will post on one subject. I don't. If someone comes up with content I might not share their view, maybe Adult related, politics, Gaming, etc, I can choose to put them in a circle or list (if on Facebook) that doesn't show up on my desktop or workstation. I have to manually go to that circle or list to view the content.

Google's new random "your Friend +1 this" puts the entire post on the home screen. This can cause many problems if certain materials pop up at the wrong "real life" social time. Dinner with the family and kids, mother in law, in the case of the large busted women from Thursday.

Not allowing the Home screen to filter these out is just wrong and an Epic fail for G+ at this time.
You should read the book "ein König für Deutschland" (a King for germany) - it very reasonably makes clear why computer-based voting always will be Much easier manipulable and why democracies should stay with paper based Voting.

Isn't there an old saw about every big "Web 2.0" business being something that took what people were already doing but made it "social"? So Facebook made blogging social, Twitter made texting social, etc.

10+ years ago I knew a bunch of people who had personal blogs, but of course most of them were filled with "sorry for the lack of posts recently" type posts.

I'm not on Facebook, but I understand why it's popular. The more people who might be reading, the more reason there is to post stuff. So it makes sense that everyone winds up in the same network.
The over-ear Quiet Comfort 'noise canceling' headphones are one exception, and I gnaw my own liver whenever I have to replace a pair I donated as a "seat back prize" to the passenger on the next flight.

But what's the differences beyond visual changes (which, frankly, aren't important).
>"until people start getting voted out of office in favor of people who won't fund the behavior"

And add to that the fact that we don't have the information we need to make those choices as voters. Remember, the only reason we know about this instance is that someone (Snowden) was willing to take a risk, and he is now considered a criminal for that.

Who knows what else is out there and who knows what else is coming (including this, again)?

People need to be prosecuted. Beyond that, the entire architecture needs to be dismantled: the "War on Terror" ended and the egregiously overreaching, rights-curtailing government culture it created needs to be rolled back. The security-industrial-military-complex needs to be finally checked as well.

We need to roll back the Patriot Act, examine the ethos of a Justice department that works overtime to loosely interpret our Constitution to expand its power, and put this run amok unitary executive theory back in its box.

Facebook can't track you regardless of whether you have an account much less whether are logged in IF you use Firefox's RequestPolicy plugin.
Things I advise you to install on Firefox : Tree Style Tab[1]

Basically what it does is display the tabs on the left, thus occupying a space that is rarely used on websites (borders).
It is so practical for managing many tabs, nesting tabs etc... that I can't understand why a power user who uses a lot of tabs would switch to chrome.

Just try to use it for a day or a week and it will change your life.

Hi hobonumber,

First of all I woukd like to say that your framework is one of the ones I like the most when developing mine...

I know it's a big file but it is because it has a lot of comments, I have to work on the sass version to change the comments style...the minified version is close to 133 kb or so...but I definitely have to reduce it and make it lighter...

Any piece of advice?
Exactly. With the access to information that the NSA has they could easily feed themselves, and may already do so to some extent.

PS WRT CIA funding things in Southeast Asia, there was a movie Air America about that. I have no idea how close to the truth any of it was, but I liked the movie.
Honestly I think the biggest problem with Bootstrap is that everyone uses Bootstrap (because it's so nicely done) and therefore your site looks like the other million sites on the web that use it.
lol furatto, how japanese
> Programmers seem to think that there is something "dirty" about adjusting your language according to audience.

Yes. I am struggling with this right now, myself. I mean, not specifically that, but this general idea that putting effort into social bullshit that has little to do with my actual competence is dirty. It really /does/ feel dirty, and I have a difficult time articulating why.

The problem is that I have moved myself more towards management, and so getting people to do what I want really is part of 'competence' now.

A big part of this is that humility (false or not) is so absolutely core to getting along with other engineers, and so absolutely terrible when dealing with business types; behavior I have put a lot of effort into training out of myself now needs to come to the fore.

I don't know. One track is to view social nonverbal communication as ethically neutral, but eh, that... might have other problems, too. As this is an active problem for me, I clearly don't have the correct solution.

They've done them, the results strongly imply discrimination. There's been some criticism of the methodology though. I believe there was a chapter in Freakonomics criticizing the "black name" resume studies (though I cannot remember the criticism). With some of the gender ones the claim is that the career trajectories were gender atypical when the names were switched and hence looked odd. I.e. that if you took a resume of a women and a man and swapped the names, the male named female resume would get lower responses.

A more salient question is why there is discrimination on gender in hiring. Is it outright sexism or is it discounting for the fact that a women is far more likely to exit her career to have kids or reduce her hours. The answer radically effect how you fix the problem.
Exactly. Will be interesting to see Obama shutting down the NSA program, while some other official will be cutting the ribbon in Utah in three months from now.

I think the visual elements do make a difference but taking that out...it has probably not much differences with bootstrap...I'll be working to make it more semantic, lightweight...and that should give a better development experience...

You have any suggestions?
My ML PhD friends say that SVM are popular in academic circles in part be cause you can prove things on them. They are in the NN camp when it comes to solving problems.

I like the basic idea. It feels like a nonlinear relative of PCA (Principal Component Analysis). I also haven't seen NN used for outlier detection.
If you wait until the final form of the code, it would seem very difficult to trace back from function symbol to its generating/binding macro. That is, how do you know which macro bound a specific function? Hope for no ambiguities, I suppose. Maybe it's not a problem, but I'd think the main point of such a grep tool is to point back to the originating code, right? Merely detecting that a specific function symbol is bound is not quite the same.

http://thechangelog.com/ - Member support podcast that covers a broad range of popular open source projects and their main contributors.

On a side note, realtalk.io looks interesting as well, I'll have to check that one out too (in addition to thinkdistributed) for my long commutes :)

One of my first bosses in IT used to do steel work on large buildings. He was classically trained as an engineer. He didn't have any trouble calling computer work engineering. Considered the disciplines very similar as far as skills used. But he did have a lot to say about the legions of keyboard monkeys who couldn't find their way out of a vi instance.

Just because most people who work on computers aren't engineers doesn't make the field not engineering. Just means that most of the people that do it are incompetent at their jobs.

I generally agree but the iPod argument really downplays the effort apple puts into industrial design and UX. At the time of the 3rd gen iPod and being a high school studeny I could only afford one of the few of its competitors, the HDD-powered Creative Nomad, and its infuriatingly unintuitive and inconsistent UI. I'm not even talking some kind of "attractive" UI like the rather useless cover flow view introduced later. The Nomad was literally a pain to use where a little wheel had to be rotated to scroll between the many albums. in hindsight, the clickwheel UI would've been worth more than a few extra gigs of space.
Riding Rails: [ANN] Rails 3.2.14.rc1 has been released
Wow, this is a really interesting project. As someone who used to live next to the port in Dalian I'm really curious what the motivation of this project is.

The article mentions it'll generate $3.7b pa, but I assume a big chunk of that revenue will come at the expense of the local shipping route from Dalian to Yantai & Weihai.

From a logistical standpoint I'm scratching my head a little. There's not a huge amount of demand for a container to start in Dalian and finish in Yantai; so justifying a big time saving on that basis seems odd.

China does have a tendency to build a lot of stuff to bump up their GBP and production output to keep people employed and avoid civil unrest. Even so, I'd love to see this get built, but probably will still take the boat.

They're not cheaper, but I think the PSB M4U2 ($400) sounds much better than the QuietComfort 15. The noise cancellation isn't quite as good, though.

The PSB is nicely designed, too -- for instance, the cord unplugs at both ends, and can be plugged into either side of the headphone.
The OP did not use any such language ("crappier").

As noted, Oracle uses the term "enterprise", which I take to imply a corporate approach to language implementation the coincides with service/support agreements and other business models.

For what it is worth, the JVM is second to none for interpreted languages in my book. At the same time, I don't use it and if I ever find myself going back, it will be for Scala. I don't much care for Oracle's brand of innovation (I don't think it is sustainable).

Tell me something, from your perspective: Why should an aspiring technologist learn Java over Python?
I do hope the Chinese share what they learn. Particularly how they solve the earthquake resisting stuff. Could be very useful.

One thing about this compared to the political stuff... It is easier for most people to comment on politics, its just opinion. But with things like this, its very hard for the average person to find something useful or interesting to say over and above, "hey , very cool". Indeed, I am worried what I said above proved this!!!

I recently started my own blog and my biggest worry was finding a subject. I realized that when I write just one post I get ideas for my next one and as tempted as I get to published all in a day I try to follow my regular schedule. There are times were I spend a full week without writing but it doesn't bring me down cause I know sometimes it takes time to find the right subject.

My main reason for the blog was to improve my writing and 30 posts later I can already see the difference.

There's this thing called the reasonable person standard. You should read about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasonable_person

If you find yourself so embattled with the courts, perhaps you should try and understand the behavior of reasonable people. I have to agree with rayiner -- this sounds like typical male-tech resentment for being called creepy one too many times.
He didn't have to, we all understood that he meant he wasn't comfortable cutting back on certain types of speech.

And I'm not trying to be a PC zealot here. I've told and laughed at many an inappropriate joke. But I also have a lot of respect for the idea that you should not make people feel uncomfortable at work and you shouldn't go out of your way to dismiss candidates of a particular gender (or race or class) because you think you would offend that person and you are incapable of not offending them.

Another notable thing about feeling like you can't hire certain people because they will be offended by things you say in the office is that you are making it clear that you have a narrow range of means to express yourself.
It's my impression that everyone who has known him in a professional context (beyond just having heard of Bose products) has a quite high opinion of him. It's a shame to see talented engineers (and/or marketers, depending on how you want to look at it) pass away.
