God says...
land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he
said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for
the sons of the prophets.

4:39 And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild
vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and
shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew them not.

4:40 So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as
they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou
man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof.

4:41 But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he
said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no
harm in the pot.

4:42 And there came a man from Baalshalisha, and brought the man of
God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears
of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that
they may eat.

4:43 And his servitor said, What, should I set this before an hundred
men? He said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus
saith the LORD, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof.

4:44 So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof,
according to the word of the LORD.

"As the entire league turned to sabermetrics, the market for baseball talent reflected its insights, neutralizing Oakland’s advantage. The only way to gain an edge was to find new insights.

Today, baseball general managers' search for a undervalued players has led them to sign and play catchers who are better cheaters. Or, more charitably, catchers with a talent for convincing umpires that a ball was actually a strike."
stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString calls are still capped, at 10MB and 10 seconds - that might be up from the 5 seconds you experienced.

Our approach to that is two-fold:

We try not to send big chunks of data through the bridge (we pass file around by reference, for example): in our initial prototypes a couple of years ago we passed image data base64 encoded and that definitely didn't scale!

Secondly, stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString just gets data into the JS engine's scope - the processing of those received messages is done in a separate thread of execution. By that I mean started by an event, not true multi-threading of course!

Can you not change to a better ISP? It's ridiculous to be paying good money for high speed internet if your ISP can't handle the load. I've been using shaw.ca for years with zero problems since they upgraded their network to fibre, and we have two other pretty decent providers to choose from as well.

I'm sure you must have a decent ISP somewhere down in the states. If not, perhaps you just need to wait for google to do it.
The icon collection is worth a look for any web project.
It's an icon font, so colours and scaling can just be done with css.

"The median employee tenure at Google is just more than one year, according to the payroll consultancy PayScale."

Liquidity is obviously a good thing for a currency, and on the surface this is obviously a bad thing (at least for Bitcoin users in Thailand), but it's definitely not the key factor to the success of Bitcoin. In fact, a lot of the driving force behind the Bitcoin community is counter-economics (e.g. black markets) and the desire for an alternative to government currencies. In that context, governments outlawing Bitcoin may very well be a positive thing for Bitcoin, because it could be perceived as vindication of the need for currencies which are free from governments.
Thats a terrible system design, because all single points of failure eventually fail. Curl up and die is not a valid response to failure. The only valid solution always must end with "do it manually", that can never be removed. Doesn't matter if its a plane, ship, refinery/chem plant, or reactor control rod.

People who don't know much about GPS think the satellites are eternally autonomous but that is not the case. There are precisely two uplink control points on the planet which control them. Both in the USA as I recall.

Another interesting problem is lifetime mismatch. It would be foolish to create a system which depends on and could outlive the current GPS constellation.

Also being in the USA we tend to assume the fedgov is on our side and our side is everyone's side, but the rest of the world has found out the hard way many times over to never assume that is or will always be the case. So absolute best case is you should never deploy a worldwide system with a SPOF controlled by a foreign power.

"The story here is that we thought we had designed a system which can do this without human interaction"

No it was designed for humans (mostly US soldiers) to geolocate themselves, so they could help orient themselves on paper maps. This whole idea of pasting a navigation system, or even worse, an autonomous navigation system, on top is a good example of feature creep resulting in systemic failure.

You probably could design a redundant, tough, reliable, world wide (or at least, wide range) autonomous navigation system. It would not look anything like GPS. It would probably look a heck of a lot like a weird cross between the VOR system and authenticated LORAN. It would take a lot longer than a HN post to nail it down exactly, but I'm sure that whatever it optimized down to, it wouldn't resemble GPS very closely. In the grand tradition of all copier machines being called Xerox machines, I'm sure that whatever this successor system is called, the general unwashed masses will continue to call it a "GPS" to the immense confusion of people who actually know what they're talking about.

A planetary scale authenticated mostly decentralized web of trust mesh network of millions of stationary beacons and mobile inertial navigation systems with computational countermeasures to fight intentional bad actors? Probably providing global internet access via the mesh while you're at it, because it's there?
Servers Have Feelings, Too (cartoon)
Making your own app where you are the only coder - there is no need for "formal training". You can slap together a glob of code, make it good enough to work and deploy without issue. "Even an MBA can do it" apparently.

The need for formal training in software development comes when you need to work with other people on a project far bigger then your tiny piece of it. If everyone on a development team does their own thing, the result is a mess.

Although, even if everyone is standardized and follows the plan, most software still results in a mess given enough time. Not sure what I'm concluding here. :/

Compared to how normal tech company should behave. Luckily there are companies which are opposed to software patents. I'm sure there are other patent sick companies, but Apple is just an infamous one. May be it's more reported than others, but such reputation is deserved.

Patent attorneys don't participate in this on their own. It's from these companies' approval. In normal companies attorneys ensure that company uses patents only as defensive tools, in sick ones they use them for offense.
Pretty cool concept. I never really used Newsstand and I also didn't like that you couldn't remove it (although that's gonna change.) I think this could be an awesome tool to compete with publications like Flipboard especially if there is revenue tied to the model. The only challenge is getting those first users because I've never met one person with an iPhone that uses Newsstand.

Sorry, I was being sarcastic. The goal of these things is to prevent date rape by someone unsuspectingly taking particular drugs. There's not much you are going to be able to invent if your goal is to stop date rape by preventing people from knowingly drinking alcohol.
Setting aside the defense of RS by sibling comments, part of the reason this article is of interest is its presentation format.

Find a peer-reviewed science journal that also provides a rich multimedia experience and you can argue that there is a source that is "better" for the purposes recognized here (content and presentation format).
> I still don't get why people are attached to the concept of company loyalty in the first place. Maybe it made sense back in the era where you'd work for a company for 2+ decades and retire on a pension, but we don't live in that world anymore.

Why not? What changed?

It's not enough reason to dismiss a concept by saying, "Times changed." You have to examine why they changed and whether or not the things lost are worth preserving or reinventing for the new era.

"Everything was up for debate—even trivial nuances of language, like the difference between 'you will comply' and 'you should comply,' triggered complaints."

That's not actually a trivial nuance---those are significantly different semantic behaviors. IETF RFC's use "MUST" and "SHOULD" (yes, in caps) for the same distinction.
Sounds awesome, but it looks like we broke your site.
Wow, awesome post! I like COTS but I also like soldering and being cheap. =)

I think my main confusion is how do I add the 4 channels together before I spit the signal out to the RF side? If they are all in phase, would it weird out the receiver because you're not going to see that in the real world? Would I have to have 4 output levels corresponding to how many channels are outputting a high level (1) during that chip/clock cycle? If them being in phase freaks out the receiver, maybe I could output the signal at 4.092 MHz and phase shift each channel by 1/4 chip/clock cycle? I was CompE so my RF/signal skills are almost zilch. =)

Good point about the cage, with the crazy low power of GPS signals, it is probably a lot easier to cause interference than with other signals.

And yes, "modulo 2 adder" is a bit verbose! =P

A few years ago, I had a SaaS startup in the ATDC but at just about every meeting I was one of the few people in the group capable of coding.

One thing lead to another and I ended up bowing out of the full on startup myself and ended up creating a Ruby on Rails development consultancy instead. It has been growing steadily for the last two years and I am pretty happy with this direction given the massive opportunity to work with a variety of startups build their products to test their product/market fit.
That is a totally unreasonable interpretation of my comment.
I find it hard to believe anyone wants to take the time to respond to recruiter spam by attempting to teach or enlighten them on how their profession or specialty works. I doubt the recruiters would even care.
Sometimes the harder you try to force yourself do things, the harder it becomes to do them. I lost a lot of time in the past trying to make myself more regimented, clearer about goals, etc. and it just made me resist (ironic process theory).
The reason they are used is to specifically hide implementation details from a consuming class or chunk of code. The reason we do that is so the caller cannot make assumptions based on internal details so in the future we can modify it radically and not impact the caller. This is abstraction and it's OOP 101.

> In one recent ranking of companies with the highest employee turnover rates, the Mountain View, California, company is among the leaders. The median employee tenure at Google is just more than one year, according to the payroll consultancy PayScale.

Let me ask: does these numbers reflect only employees quitting, or does it also reflect the employee leaving the company on the corp's initiative (getting fired)? If it is the latter, then only talking about employee loyalty seems like a pretty big jump to a flawed conclusion.

As an aside: I've heard that many American jobs have at-will employment. Working for someone that can fire me at any time for any reason doesn't really inspire loyalty in my mind.
Reducing time of the surgery by modifying a process is indeed an innovation, maybe not so an invention.
Hi Joe

CTO and co-founder of Uninkd here...

What did you mean by "You couldn't remove it"?

We know the whole situation with newsstand, but magazines like - http://the-magazine.org - have really managed to create a good deal of subscribers.

I don't like most newsstand magazines either. Many of them seem like they have been converted from a pdf. I think we have managed to find a nice format to release your magazine on.
I don't understand why they don't want to charge for it. It will slow down signups and give them funding to scale up. They could also use invite-style signups like LiveJournal did back in the day.

I didn't sign up for the old reader because having to pay for it was at the top of my requirements, on the basis that people are more likely to keep things going if you're paying for them. Not always true I know, but it does hold some weight.
It's funny, because in 1000 years, this is an anthropologists dream come true (assuming the storage can be preserved that long by eventually copying to a less volatile medium).

Is it worth sacrificing our privacy now, so that their perfect glimpse of us in "the stupid ages" teaches them enough to learn from all the mistakes we keep repeating?
Even coke zero tastes nothing like regular coke. Aspartame has very distinct after taste - almost rotten like.
But you just repeated the same thing. Again, I am not suggesting "stop date rape by preventing people from knowingly drinking alcohol" should be a goal. I am saying these devices are harmful. They have the opposite effect from what is intended. They create a false sense of security in regards to the problem, convincing people that as long as their drink hasn't been spiked they are fine. But 99% of date rapes involving drugs aren't from drink spiking, they are just from drinking.

While I wouldn't push on them the suggestion that they open-source it, they could try to sell copies, perhaps?

Patents are supposed to be on mechanisms, not effects. If you figure out a way to travel through time, your patent only applies to that particular way. Pinch to zoom is something with almost no behind-the-scenes mechanism to it, and what mechanism might be valid for a patent existed in the movie.
Haha.. damn. Just a sec.
I agree that it's hidden away but it's really easy to use once you know it's there.
It's interesting to think about what these factors actually mean. The perception of what's "good" quality will continue to shift hugely. Life expectancy, hopefully, will go up. Hard drive prices actually haven't come down again after the floods, so I'm guessing they'll stay artificially inflated for a long time - especially considering storage density won't increase in the coming years as we seem to hit a wall there as well.

So that's 60€ or $60 per TB for the foreseeable future. Let's say we're using a well compressed H264 stream with a 500 MB per hour data rate for 16 waking hours per day => 3 TB or 180 USD per year and person. Plus electricity and, realistically speaking, bandwidth costs.

Still, it would be nice to have a searchable experience database like that. Ideally I'd want that with a cybernetic eye ;)
Yep, site is down for me too.
unquestionably, and to their credit the New Zealand authorities brought an end to the farce in a timely fashion. But, the statistics of small numbers can be deceptive. Certainly, in the US, plenty of farcical prosecutions are halted, but there are also plenty of counterexamples. And the population of the US is nearly 100x the population of new zealand.
>> If the prevailing mode of thought is that MBAs aren't useful, or aren't technical, MBAs must present fact-based argument against this.

As with anything, YMMV.

My program overlapped heavily with content in my business oriented (but not actually business administration) undergrad social sciences degree. I didn't get nearly as much out of my program as my peers who came from sciences, technical or arts undergraduate programs did. I actually felt like my undergrad program was superior in many facets to the business school I attended. That's not to say I didn't get anything out of it, but I found most of the first year mandatory stuff to be of much lesser value than the second year optional courses I took.

I agree, but I also think this argument goes both ways.

The 5K runners think the couch potatoes should run more, the marathon trainers think the 5K runners should run more, etc. In a similar fashion, the "inefficient" are bombarded with lifehacking advice from the likes of Tim Ferriss and David Allen.

I think if there's one good takeaway from this article, it's that the lifehackers should "live and let live" as well. Not everyone needs or wants to optimize their life.
I have no desire to debate what is "ethical", but I'm a little surprised there is no mention of their definition. Nietzsche for one would say that this study's results are simply because modern ethical guidelines are based on those of the lower classes. So it's quite obvious that higher social classes are "unethical" simply because the poor's values are anti-upper class.
Too many people are making the assumption that this is the new normal, or has something to do with the morals of a group of people.

Instead, it is simply a market at work. Right now there are too few highly skilled programmers and too many job openings. Exacerbating the effect is cheap capital which allows companies to keep raising salaries.

When the market shifts, which it invariably will, hiring will slow and average tenure will increase.

This article is myopically targeted at js. Hiding implementation details behind abstraction is a staple of good programming. It helps to decouple classes so you don't have to rewrite your calling code when the internals of the called class are changed.

True, but a static-file server should be trivially scalable. That is, scalable by placing it behind a load balancer(or using any number of alternative methods that don't acutally touch the server itself).
Even if the server implements Access Control, it should still be trivially scalable.

Also, nginx doesn't have such...interesting ideas as the custom server:

The author mentions SICP, but apparently fails to remember the numerous instances where the SICP authors use closures to hide implementation details. I remain unconvinced that exposing implementation details for the sake of testability is a good thing.
