I can imagine that with valve engineers being used to their pretty open source engine development practices. Starting to talk more with Nvidia hardware people they might be asking for a lot more improvements that nvidia could be starting to realise they might benefit from offloading to the open source world.

When Microsoft or sony come knocking to have this conversation they might be more prepared to put a specialist hardware team between the system developers and hardware makers coupled with a very strict QA process.
Hrm, a valid point and I would add that the risk in arbitrage is so very low because they basically only face systemic risk. Risk of financial crisis, etc. I never really thought about that until now.

I'm giving advice for a scenario where salaries are inflated due to a bubble. For the record, I'm not in the valley either.
"Those who can sit in a chair, undistracted for hours, mastering subjects and creating things will rule the world — while the rest of us frantically and futilely try to keep up with texts, tweets and other incessant interruptions."

The text about was tweeted by Arianna Huffington, which is how I heard about this article: https://twitter.com/ariannahuff/status/381921299276103680
How do they show it? We don't know how many % of the iOS user base uses Twitter or any observable channel to praise iOS 7 or complain about it.

Plus it's impossible to downgrade, so any iOS 7 user in a statistic might be an unhappy one; or the other way around, maybe I would love iOS 7 on my iPad 3rd gen, but I won't irreversibly upgrade for now.
I think that there is a 'self definition' (whether right or wrong) that takes place with a device decision. When people choose an iPhone or Android phone, they start to identify with that brand. The same can be said of color.

Back in 2007 I remember listening to a student and his father shopping for a Mac. He refused to buy the lower cost white one because it was girly. He had to get the top of the MacBooks black model.

I think the self definition aspect of the purchase lasts much longer than a couple weeks.
I don't believe that's true. If you anonymize the data it can be extremely useful information across a wide variety of areas.
The source code of PyCharm CE will be available in the https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community repo under Apache 2 license in a few days.
Yes. Also because the computer crime laws are vague about unauthorized access and Google isn't interested in subjecting itself to test cases.

If they don't have a know-good local copy of the code to upgrade the stock components of and redeploy on a fresh VM that just sounds like asking for trouble.

What do you do with such customers? If you "fire" the repeat offenders would you say it's been worth the forum backlash from them (which this story seems like an attempt at so far)?
Great post. I think this isn't discussed enough (which just benefits those companies who have nailed it). This ties into one of my prime lessons of tech management: always be recruiting. To do that well, you have to start with an awesome idea/company and then hone your message to get the best people working with you.
This isn't even about Spain. Once the precedent is set internationally, they will argue they need to bring the US laws in line with international law.
I didn't experience that at all. If I did, it was so unobtrusive that I don't even remember navigating past that. You missed a great article.
If you assume that every single CRA loan defaulted, and that every failed loan in the entire housing market was a CRA loan (both assertions are far from true), then the CRA would be responsible for a multiple billion dollar problem. Maybe. Might be well under 1b when you consider that the homes are re-sellable after foreclosure unless they burned without insurance.

On Wall St, we wound up with a multiple trillion dollar problem. That's tr-, not b-, as in 1,000X bigger.

The CRA thing is ideological bullshit. I seriously do not understand how anyone who passed 3rd grade arithmetic could buy into it.
How a software developer became a top Canadian coffee producer
Comment sorting-by-best only works if the best comments are actually good comments and there's no bandwagoning. Considering the fanbases of famous YouTubers such as RayWilliamJohnson and PewDiePie, this could actually make things worse.

But atleast the new comments will be functional, which alone is an improvement.
At this point, I think you basically HAVE to assume it was NSA involvement. Most of the people who were considered paranoid before seem to have been underestimating things based on what we now know.
Don't pay your debts on credit, that's just idiotic. If you can pay a credit card company monthly, then you can pay your debts the same way as well.
How to make Touch ID a little safer
Thank you. I find that my fingers type in the style of what I've been reading for the past week or three unless I give a correction. This is but one of the reasons I stay away from microblogging services, of course…
I don't why you guys refer to it as the "facebook way", the name you're looking for is right there in the submission title: a way to write better css. And facebook is host of one example of it.
I've been pretty reluctant to comment ever since I created a Google+ account and it switched to my real name. I've never had too terrible comments, but I just don't want my real name anywhere near YouTube comments. I've never seen the value in comments there. Early on in YouTube's history it was a real community building tool, now it's just terrible.
Just wanted to chime in that I pre-ordered the gold 5s and am still waiting for it, however, I did go into the Apple Store over the weekend and take a look at a gold one and, boy, it's not really that gold. It's not bling or shiny, it's really subdued and muted, more like a light champagne than anything really eye-catching. In fact, when I picked it up I actually thought it was the silver one and started looking around for the true gold iPhone. That's how subdued it really is.
Yeah - great point. Recruiting is so hard these days that most people don't get enough leads in the top of the funnel in order to really see enough quality candidates get through the screening process.

Establishing an engineering story (and telling it well) allows you to add more interested engineers to the top of the funnel. It's a longer term strategy, but I think it's required based on present market dynamics.
The percona tools are mostly outside the direct mysql environment and more on the innodb or linux end of things. I'm not personally aware of any that rely on codebase changes.
NSN was about half the company by revenue, and doing better in terms of profit, before they sold their mobile division. I see no reason that, now that they've dumped the phone division, they won't be able to build and grow around NSN and their other technologies. Look at Nokia's history. It's not like this is the first time they've pivoted.
For those who continue to use Touch ID, Graham suggested a simple step for minimizing the success of Starbug's attack:

"use only pinky or ring fingers to unlock your device. He said most prints left on glasses, iPhone screens, and other surfaces are from thumbs and index fingers. Enrolling a pinky or ring finger won't completely foreclose attacks like the one developed by Starbug, but it will require an attacker to work much harder to succeed."
That $3 million doesn't get you much of an airline without some guarantee of profits on the route you're looking to operate though - leasing a 15 year old 737-800 for a year would use up most of that money before you'd even considered getting it off the ground.

What's new in Ruby 2.1 preview
There's an easy heuristic here. Look at a segment of the industry which is unambiguously not in a bubble and ask yourself whether you could get hired there doing similar work with a similar salary.

There's one hitch here: if the entire startup scene were to bust, there'd be a massive excess of developers vying for the traditional stable jobs at traditional profitable companies. This would significantly raise the bar for getting hired while potentially lowering salaries.
When you are writing about the beginning of a bubble, you are likely midway through it.

When people are starting to think a bubble might pop, likely it already has.

This is my third bubble I find they have more opportunity than downside with one major exception: VC's in their blind hype turn fundraising into a wicked market where silly unsustainable ideas are highly valued and solid business opportunities are shoved to the side as boring.
What about the tech. bubble of the 1990s? What was the regulatory influence then?
Does this mean that the PHP, Ruby, and Obj-C versions will be seeing community editions soon as well?
Thanks. It's been a ton of fun learning to teach story-telling to engineers/CTOs. Every good developer cares about an interesting engineering challenge, but nailing the quick story around it can be slightly challenging sometimes.
Definitely need an RSS feed.
The whole situation in Europe is just a collective descent into madness, led by those in high offices. The only surprising part is that they're about 20 years past due.

We actually went via Bandcon, which was then bought by highwinds.
BW is around the going price $2.5/Gbps and it seemed to be level3 at the beginning and now it's seems more of a mix. ( I should specify that we have a gbps port but we only use about 100 mbps as it's only the html we serve from there )
We use another 2 Gbps of traffic via CDN for all the static/video content but that is of course a different cost ) But it's nice when the CDN ingest point is in the same physical DC as we are.

I just looked what 250TB would cost us on s3, $20k/month, or $240k/year. ( im not even counting the put/get usage )

You can build it, for ease of math, 100x 3TB seagate constellation. 100x $250 = $25k, another $5k easily covers a 45 jbod and raid card and server with ssd zil and arc for zfs and you're done. so $30k.
Get 2 more for redundancy and backup as you see fit.

So over 3 years, 720k vs apples to apples 90k ( if you got 3 of those servers) so you save say $600k.
You can get a decent remote dev for $200k/year for that time.
I've been using the Anki[1] spaced repetition system to quickly get up to speed with the PyCharm key bindings.

I've been using the JetBrains screencasts[2] to get up to speed with the IDEs features. Although these are too thin on the ground currently and i confess that i keep getting distracted by the JavaScript / AngularJS videos! The presenter on those i find draws me in more. Some of the PyCharm videos don't even have narration.

I have explored the Flask integration which was better than i expected but not life changing for me.

VirtualEnv integration is well enough, but PyCharm <--> command line <--> virtualenv integration is not ideal yet. Getting virtualenvwrapper and PyCharm playing nicely together was more work than i anticipated. PyCharm doesn't make it easy to be notified about newly created virtualenvs.

I feel all the default templates for modules and test files are not ideal for me, i ended up replacing them with my own templates. The only reason this even registers with me is because some less experienced Python developers persevere with the default PyCharm templates and end up with __author__ and other cruft in their modules.

The internal jetbrains supplied static validation (Pep8 / PyLint) functionality doesn't appear to be vanilla pep8 / pylint. This is only a minor issue but i don't like that there are potential violations i don't see until i've pushed to Jenkins and viewed the reports there.

I intend to push further with PyCharm, i'm open to the idea that there's productivity benefits to be had with python from an IDE that are not available to me in vim - although i strongly advocate the JEDI plugin with VIM, it's leaps and bounds over the old ROPE system IMO!
I'm no expert, but to keep down inventory costs, I would think you'd like to keep less than 40/50 designs actually in stock (for example, 10 of every design would make that easily 400/500 shirts, and at maybe $5 a shirt, that might be more expensive than it needs to be, given that you don't know what will sell yet)

So maybe you can leverage the social aspect of the internet here to keep your inventory costs down (with a slight hit to speed of delivery?)

Also, are you guys looking to custom print? Because I could argue that the money that you were going to spend to purchase inventory could maybe be better spent with a machine that could quickly produce prototypes for the first, say, 50 orders of a new hot design, and then if it escalates, you can get more production. What I guess I'm trying to say is that you could be more elastic with your inventory by sinking your startup cost (or what you were going to pay to GET those initial quantities of the current designs) with a screen printing setup that could print modest qualities (allowing you to iterate faster), and then hook up with bigger printers when necessary
Didn't see this comment:

We have an 18mo and a 4yo we read books and play games with on the iPad. The 4yo gets to play games or read books on his own as well.

Any app that doesn't let us unlock everything to remove IAP or Ads gets uninstalled.

For one I don't want my 4yo racking up $$$. But it's also frustrating for both of us when he clicks a button and gets taken out of his app and doesn't know what to do now.

So for us at least it's not that "parents can't resist". It's that $13 or whatever isn't all that much to spend if our kids like it, and we don't want IAP buttons and/or Ads in front of our 4yo. Perceived "value" has almost nothing to do with it.

Apple generally gives a 10% discount for buying a season pass. I'd be fine with that. A greater than 50% discount is surprising.

A better model might be something like FarFaria, where we pay an iTunes subscription fee to unlock everything and get rid of the ads. So recurring revenue ($4/month). You might consider it.

I don't claim we're super typical but I doubt we're all that special in regards to letting our children play with Adware either.
> A couple months ago I saw an ad on the NY subway for a company that delivers dog food and pet supplies to your door (deja vu anyone).

To be fair, this is a lot more feasible now than it was back then. I'm not sure what's making it so. Higher volume of willing-and-able-to-internet customers? Better routing? But I cite as evidence the number of established players who are dipping their toes into the same-day-service market.
Furthermore, they are working on a cross-platform C++ IDE (hopefully using Clang for parsing): http://www.jetbrains.com/objc/features/cpp.html. I can't wait for the release.

Probably not - you can stick quite a few virtual servers on a $6,000 phyiscal server and not have to worry about costs for usage, or noisy neighbors.

I'm confused, are you arguing that ads are too high on search result pages, or that non-ad informative pages are?

Is this just a case of "whichever is the case at the time, I can twist it to support my point."?
Slideshare meets wordpress. Let us know what you think.
I actually do believe iOS7 a step back usability wise (at a component UX level, not in features). The reduction of visual affordances in controls makes it very hard to tell at a glance what is interactive, and often even where the touch areas of controls begin/end. This slows you down, and I find it takes me a few moments to orient myself on a new page.
Hmm, let's see.

I wish Seamless would innovate more. is incompatible with Seamless has a total lock on the NYC market, sadly.

I wish you could search intra-menu. "Show me all restaurants with sweet potato fries within walking distance."

Yelp can kinda do that, and Google can kinda do that, but they are just going off reviews and not indexing menus attached to locations specifically.

I was successfully freelancing and doing quite well in 1999 and 2000, and it was pretty interesting watching the wheels all come off in 2001. Here's a very subjective idea of what it felt like to me:

- The bubble "burst" over about 9 months in the greater Boston area, give or take.

- For about 3 months, it was nearly impossible to get hired no matter how good you were. Everyone was laying off solid senior engineers with tons of in-house knowledge, so why would they hire?

- The area immediately around Boston recovered slowly, because there were just too many unemployed engineers.

- My ~23yo friend who held $250,000 of stock watched it drop to almost nothing during his post-IPO handcuff period.

- Any company which sold to startups, or which sold to companies which sold to startups, etc., pretty much died horribly. Huge, successful, awesome companies just evaporated.

I was young and single, so I simply skipped out of the "blast zone" around Boston, waited a few months, and started applying to cool, small shops in second or third-tier cities that didn't have a huge number of unemployed programmers. Got a good job, had fun, got a bunch of raises, etc.

The financial advice in the other comments is good. Make sure you have a year's cushion if you can. If you're good, you love programming, and you can relocate, you can ride out a lot. Plenty of interesting small companies are unable to hire in this market, and most will be around post-crash. Take a salary cut, get an interesting job, and help somebody make some money.

Generalizing through an extreme example is the problem. Risk analysis is about probability, and the probability of a face you recognize being that person is high; the probability of personality conflicts resulting in an office rampage are inconsequentially low. Should we extrapolate your support for illogical interpretations to a likelihood of psychotic behavior? After all, history tells us that they are correlated.

There are articles talking about the possible bubble and they are easy to be found. I would like to add just one thing: we are still in the biggest recession and fiat money is printed like crazy. There has to be some places those money flows into. And given the quickly shifting age, industries seem to be broken in one way or another sooner than before. I agree with the author that bubble is here. However, it might take longer than expected to burst. As long as what we do actually delivers better value to customers, I believe we can still survive.
You're right, not sure what I was thinking.
The real driver of a bubble is the idea of a "get rich quick" investment mechanism that pulls in rewards out of proportion to risk, which inflates the capital within that investment, which inflates the bubble. Are we there yet? I don't see it.

When I think "bubble", I think of two - the old dotcom bubble, and the housing bubble. The housing bubble was driven by those nasty CDOs, which produced abnormal rates of return on AA/AAA securities, while leaving their value vulnerable to problems with the sub-prime market. Money pours into the housing market thanks to excessive returns, which both drives up housing prices and drives demand for more mortgages, which reduces proper risk management... a vicious cycle, til the subprimes start defaulting and the prices drop and then the bubble pops.

The old dotcom bubble was driven by IPO money from unsophisticated investors, so there was a massive push to get companies public as soon as possible, well before they had solid business models. This drew institutional money into the venture capital market, and again, things got all out of wack, and capital supply was driving startup demand, and weak businesses were getting funding they didn't deserve.

So the real marker for a bubble now, imho, isn't whether prices for early stage startups are going up, but rather whether a lot of bad startups are getting funded. Is that really happening? An increase in price suggests otherwise. Supply and demand, people. Sure, demand may be up, but either that increases price, or the market responds by increasing supply. And since the number of quality startups is basically fixed, supply increase means introducing bad startups.

And this doesn't even bring in other factors, like pg's marvelous observations about how startups need less Series A money these days generally, and the rise of super-angels, angel syndicates, and online tools like AngelList and Gust.

tl;dr Demand != bubble
I agree. But, the purpose is to promote YC. It may have started as something else, but this website is more powerful than a lot of big name news outlets. Money is made here, believe it or not. That is why a change in the formula is not something that may happen. Why change something that is already helping YC make lots of money?
I think that he (she?) was comparing some extra-alarmists' (Al Gore-type) tendencies to attribute every abnormal weather pattern to global warming. We should all agree that crying wolf weakens legitimate claims about climate change and ocean acidification.
No one was in the 1.5%. It was 1.5% of messages. For example, maybe 1/4 of my incoming emails had delays. If that was true of everyone who had delays, now you're looking at 6% of people affected.

Not sure if "better commenting", or just another attempt to integrate G+ into every Google-owned property.

The part about floating "engaged discussions" to the top is interesting. One hopes the algorithm distinguishes between "ongoing informative discussion" and "blazingly active flamewar".
