Getting rid of cable during the younger years is smart. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends zero screen time for babies younger than 2 years old and there is strong evident to support limiting screen time = healthy brain development in the very young.

http://www.aap.org/en-us/advocacy-and-policy/aap-health-init...

The AAP recommends that parents establish "screen-free" zones at home by making sure there are no televisions, computers or video games in children's bedrooms, and by turning off the TV during dinner. Children and teens should engage with entertainment media for no more than one or two hours per day, and that should be high-quality content. It is important for kids to spend time on outdoor play, reading, hobbies, and using their imaginations in free play.

Television and other entertainment media should be avoided for infants and children under age 2. A child's brain develops rapidly during these first years, and young children learn best by interacting with people, not screens.
Maybe my parents would think they're really neat and cool (as they have mentioned in similar things before to me), but I would object to that. While their claims of thinking that are perfectly rational from their own viewpoint (because they consider it novel and unique), I see it as an anti-pattern and distraction that gets in the way of productivity.
That's good to know, I wasn't sure.

I know the Christmas special was aired quite late, and I remember a few years ago when they made a Vuvuzela joke and instantly made it clear that they were on a 6-12 month delay.

When you shop in a store, ask if they have a price match guarantee and then pull up Google Shopping :)
Which is completely irrelevant in a discussion about the iPhone from a user's perspective.
Excessive amounts or a dearth of attention will cause issues.

It's so relative. Maybe you're doing your a daughter a disservice giving her the impression that she is deserving of attention more than a screen where in the future it could be worse where everyone is constantly multi-tasking, you could turn her into an outcast (I'm half joking).
Gave my dad a fit bit. He now exercises much more.

South Korea's Simple Way to Indicate Vacant Parking Lots
The share price for the types of companies this article focuses on is generally unknown (as anything other than wild ass guesstimates) at the time this would be a concern for new employees. Percentage of ownership isn't unknown and thus may be more useful, but ultimately neither is a guarantee of anything since either way you can be virtually wiped out by future dilution if you're just a common share pleb, which is by far the norm for non-founder early employees.

This story makes me wonder what would have happened if the Watergate scandal would have happened in the age of the Internet. Would the Internet rally in favour of Richard Nixon's impeachment and against his subsequent pardon? Would impeachment proceedings still take place irrespective of the pardon because of massive public support?
I think the point is that Elon Musk started thinking about this because he's tired of flying SFO-LAX.

You mention that he considers the alternative as supersonic jets, and discusses why they don't work for SFO-LAX.
Great example to bring into the conversation. One complexity to consider is that the long form versus the smiling person may have retained completely different user demographic. To me, the smiling person may represents an easy, idiot proof service with customer support, but may be lacking more advanced technical features, which is fine if you are set up to cater to that demo. Technical services like Github may suffer from increased sign ups from the wrong demo if it means their forums are swamped with beginner level questions that they aren't equipped to hand hold.
It would not have helped in this case. She mentions that the change required them to rename a file that was referenced in the stylesheet.
You would be surprised.

Between the 70s and 00s thousands and thousands of Westerners moved to Saudi Arabia to work in these industries:

- Oil
- Defence
- Aerospace

And they managed just fine for decades. In fact, there are still loads out there. Brits, Americans, Aussies, Italians, South Africans, Dutch, New Zealanders, Canadians. All of these are common nationalities to have emigrated to Saudi Arabia. Mostly, they lived in walled-off compounds which had some of their own rules or ways of working.

The first 10 employees hired (most of whom should be engineers at a tech startup) have a huge effect on the trajectory of a startup. One bad hire there will sink the company.

I know Google employees with employee numbers in the hundreds that had a measurable (and very visible) effect on the success of the company.

WebOS was by far the best mobile OS available. Unfortunately for all of us, it's just not going to survive. It did so many things right, not only with the UX, but for developers as well. So sad.

yeah, to be honest, it may have been eggregious of me to call how I did it idiomatic. There's a lot we just don't have idioms for. Anyway, callback chains tend to be uncommon; that's just one way to avoid it. There's a handful of ways you could write this. Generally if you can expose functionality through methods, things tend to work out better in the end since you can transition into interfaces more readily. I'm jordanorelli in #go-nuts.

They have no financial reason to do so. Amazon is motivated by its developer customers to provide a platform to empower them across as many end user devices as possible.
Yeah. Actually, from that guy's perspective, given the actual situation, it is. He'll be sick, but he'll have a home and food, for as long as he lives - and if he was homeless, he might have died sooner than he will now, with AIDS but housed.

Either way, getting a stable living situation after you haven't had one is a tremendous relief.

I've lived in a poor neighborhood before. If you haven't, and clearly you haven't, then you have no freaking idea. I've never been that poor, because for me, you're right, there's always a job; I'm educated and white. But for this guy and for a lot of other people I've known personally, this simply IS NOT TRUE.

Even your blithe assumption he can relocate is naive. His situation might be worse than a dog's in a shelter, but at least he understands it. He knows the people, and may even have some family - even if his family hates him, they're still his people! You think this uneducated black man whose job history consists of getting fucked for cash is just going to pick up and move to North Carolina and get a nice Webdev gig surrounded by a bunch of strangers?

How about we take this the other way around. I'm assuming you're white. Let's say you relocate to the depths of Harlem or maybe the south side projects in Chicago, rent a place, and start going door to door looking for work. Is that something you can imagine working out well?

But be that as it may, there's not ALWAYS a job available if you're willing to accept a low enough wage and relocate. The fact that you believe this already means you simply have no expertise in being disadvantaged.
Might be an interesting way to track brownouts / power outages / restoral of services.
I'm agreed you can't test everything -- but that's a limitation imposed by scarce resources (developer time, money, experimental subjects), not by the technology per se. And I'm agreed that trying to enumerate the space of possible designs is a mostly futile effort for most businesses.

However, if we take a broader view you can see a market as an experiment. Different companies in a competitive space (e.g. MP3 players before the iPod's dominance, A/B testing software now) choose particular feature sets, price points, and so on. Some are successful, and some aren't. It's difficult to learn from these experiments what contributes to success, as so many factors are mingled together and there is no systematic exploration of the space. As such, a common response is to assign success to the intangible -- "vision" or "genius" -- but I think this is taking the easy way out. Larger companies certainly use the market as a system o judge companies to acquire, and then often get burned when they fail to understand and maintain what brought about the acquired company's success.
I learned LONG time ago to never write profanities in any part of my work. My boss told me a story where some "strong" language showed up on a projected demo of one of his projects and i stuck to me.

The most fundamental difference between Google & Apple? With Google you're the product. With Apple you're the customer. It's a subtle, but important, difference.

Other than that both are for-profit companies seeking to lock you into their ecosystems as much as they can. And in order to do that they need to compete for customers - who are varied and have different needs and expectations. Some will choose Android, others will choose iOS. Meanwhile the earth will keep turning.
I hope that they use this money to fuel the development of new innovative products. I have a Fitbit One and want to see this company succeed. It seems like Fitbit and Jawbone are going head to head trying to out dazzle and out create each other.

His point is that these outcomes aren't inherent in the process of A/B testing, not that they aren't consequences of certain types of A/B testing.
My guess? They need more funding to pump out fitbits faster. The flex is about a 6 week back-order to get one right now. Sold out everywhere. Prices is inflated on ebay as well.

1b for a product that has no demonstrable uniqueness

Sometimes marketing is demonstrable uniqueness. Pedometers have been around a long time, it's the whole package that makes Fitbit shine. (I have a Fitbit One and I love it.)

I agree they are swinging for the fences though.
That issue holds for lots of modes of transportation (BART, buses, gridlocked traffic...)

Bullshit. None of your examples hold any water. They teach you how to wash dishes on the job. The person in the linked article was obviously savvy enough to know how to work the system for better benefits I'm inclined to think they are lazy rather than simply ignorant. Not knowing how to ride the bus? Are you kidding me? People will even help you fill out a job app if you can't read.
Elm looks really interesting but one thing I haven't been able to figure out from their website is if there is much support for basic CRUD applications. I know they have basic HTML input controls and web service support but that doesn't much compare to modern javascript frameworks. Is Elm more targetted more at game developers?
One of the things I like about Dropbox is that it manages resuming/restarting uploads for me without me having to think about whether I've restarted my computer / my web browser crashed.

Works well, good deal, nice UI. As far as I can tell your files are -- by default -- exposed to the world if someone can guess the URL.

One annoyance is the url windoid that appears after each upload. If nothing else, it should just disappear when I drag more files into the window (the file drags are received, but the upload dialog won't appear until the dialog is dismissed and a new file dragged in).
I think this is a very interesting way of looking at long format data. What would be helpful is to have some visual indicator (color or something) that links the columns and rows. Presently, I am getting a little lost while clicking around.

This was years ago, but I remember I was unable to test one of our vendor API calls locally because it had to hit something like api.association-of-commercial-something-or-others.com... turns out the corporate filter didn't like the word "ass".

They nail them with a tax audit when there's reason to believe they're cheating on their non-profit status. And if they have nothing to hide and their accounting is honest, then an audit shouldn't be a problem. Right?
I really like this post, but I think the take away from the Gambler’s Fallacy is something different... I think it says a lot more about causation. Like the reason it should land on red is because it landed on black before this... you were close with your examples but I think it really says something more about believing that the reason A is happening because of B when really it isn't that clearly linked.

The Internet is orthogonal to the issue (probably), the fact is that the US GOvernment is completely corrupt and captured now, from the highest levels to the lowest.

The corporate capture has left the wealthy and powerful above the law, if they're just willing to join the corruption scheme.

In short, the US is swiftly becoming a 3rd world country when it comes to equality of income and fairness of justice, and this is especially the case if someone like Aaron Swartz is looking to really rock the boat… they become the examples hung in plaza so everyone else meekly complies.

This is 2013, not 2003 anymore. Today throwing 100 GB of online storage at people won't cause “yay, I need to claim that and upload everything I have” but “who are these people who want to store 100 GB of my data” and then a dozen questions more about privacy and security. If I don't see any answers easily available, I don't care about your offer.
Criticism of Hyperloop from 2005
Its also mischaracterized as a capital purchase.

Lets see, my wife has washed hers (got a "free" replacement) and somehow it ended up under the car and narrowly escaped crushing, and narrowly escaped washing a couple times.

Mine has been washed once and still works. The key seems to be immediate bake out in the dryer. Take it out of the washer and start fooling with it and its toast, corroded in a couple hours.

Its probably a little more disposable than exercise shoes. The Nike competitor is a good pairing.

The scale is out of place. I'm not sure how it can be value engineered to require annual replacement. So far, its just doing its thing.

If their business model revolves around reselling every year (or not) then one of the products has to go.

Probably all they had to do to secure funding was show stats from the bracelet model, where it was available for about 2 days and perma-sold-out since. Obviously there's demand...
I'm hoping this is just really subtle sarcasm - there is a Constitutional right to a trial, you know...even when "everybody knows" that the defendant is guilty.

Google switches everyone to Gmail’s new compose window
My guess is that's accounted for in each city by the m and k values. Note that these values are essentially averaging the battery-temp-affecting behavior of everybody in a given location (as well as the local temperature variations as well) and mapping them to the "official" temperature (usually measured at the airport). That makes the whole exercise rather useless in my opinion: it doesn't provide more information than a weather report, just a vague redundancy. Significantly, they will never be able to isolate all the factors so that a single phone can tell you the local air temperature.

As Dylan famously said: "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows."[1]

Jawbone has a competing product, and even Samsung Galaxy S4's latest phone includes some of the functionality (ie: a pedometer) people look to Fitbit for.

Shouldn't it be the judge's call to decide whether or not resources are being wasted? The fact that the prosecutor raised charges in spite of the fact that the nature and severity of crime did not change seems reprehensible and basically amounts to revenge.

Seems like you're right. Whoops, time to go fix some of my code, which is why I really want a non-broken posix_spawn().

Another silly way to do things is to have the parent process send a list of fds to close over a pipe, which at least doesn't require a second call to exec().

I think the problem with close-on-exec is always going to be simple though: you have to make sure every library you use sets the flag.

Assuming that they have fixed costs, do you honestly think that they would retain half or more of their current subscriber base without being bundled with cable packages?

Until Breaking Bad and Mad Men, nobody - nobody - cared about AMC. They were that crappy high-40s channel that you flipped through on your way to interesting stuff. Take into consideration the fact that Mad Men and Breaking Bad - AMCs two crown jewels - are about to wrap up. Also consider that they're subsidized by the tens of millions of people who subscribe to basic cable but don't care about their content.

This is funny. I've had to 'strongly encourage' our devs and designers to keep it clean/professional when designing mockups, test apps, etc. It's so easy to send a file around internally, give it a quick look over and shoot it off to the client without realising there is a some dodgy paragraph copy or awkward photo staring back at you.

A great feature. We used Trello to plan our trip, but found it a bit cumbersome as a checklist of checklists (which is what we really wanted - more like Progect [1]). We had to print out all the tasks on paper, and use it as a real checklist - usable but a bit clunky.
