Um. I get the content however I want. It's my computer.

If you send me some data. I can choose to view or ignore any of it. You have absolutely no stance to make me acknowledge all of it, or any of it.

If I asked for some data from your server and you sent it, you sent it. But I don't have to read all of it. Even the bits that make you money.

Further, some people choose (or more likely didn't know they had a choice) to make you money, if you want their money, in aggregate their wishes are something you are interested in. At no point does entitlement enter into this.
I thought Basel II was depreciated after a spot of instability in 2007. After that, they started moving to Basel III.
Because the OS is trying to balance performance and battery life.

Saying I want to see the maximum performance is fine but they should also be forced to show how that impacts other elements of system performance.

Personally I think it would be good to see two sets of benchmark typical and maximum, but the most important thing is that whatever scores are being shown are clear and honest and I think it's hard to say that these are.
Moreover. Weren't Oracle, Sybase, Ms SQL Server doing same type of optimizations just for benchmarking purposes since their beginnings?

Here in Canada, during the winter, I wake up at 6AM. I'm a bit of a early riser I guess. It's dark out.

I end my work day around 4PM. The sun is already down, and it's dark.

Being an early riser don't really help me get sunlight.

That's my work schedule. I'm naturally a night owl. I prefer to work all night, but I can't.

However, I'm also one of the few who doesn't care that we don't see the sun for month during winter. So being a night owl really helps me from getting "SAD".

FYI, during winter:

Email gsieling@wingpan.com or go to http://www.wingspan.com/careers/

Wingspan Technology has been providing industry-leading technology solutions since 1996. Our latest exciting product is a cloud-based document management system for some of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies. We are looking for a Senior Operations Engineer to assist in running this system. Wingspan is a small, dynamic company (no middle management here), but stable enough to be going strong for over 17 years. Because of our small size, you’ll have plenty of autonomy to affect change at a company level, as well as the accountability that goes along with it.

As a Senior Operations Engineer, you would be a principal contributor in helping maintain and expand our privately hosted cloud solution. This would include participation in architecture design, software deployment, and system configuration, all while ensuring our clients’ data stays safe, secure and available.

Some of the things that we’re really into are:
* 99.999% uptime in our validated environments
* Replacing our Python, Bash and Cron system automation with Puppet
* Continuous integration using Atlassian products
* Proactive monitoring and alerting with Zabbix, Splunk and Pingdom
* Load/performance testing and tuning PostgreSQL and Tomcat
* Backup and recovery - and testing those bad boys!

The ideal candidate would also have at least five years of experience with:
* Network administration
* Linux administration (we’re a CentOS shop)

The role also requires:
* Strong leadership and mentoring skills
* Strong oral and written communication skills
* Ability to periodically be on-call

You just must of been a bad software engineer who never had a decent job. Sorry, not sorry.
If by "hack" you mean "break/exploit/...", I totally agree. But hackatons are more codefests, calling "hack" every piece of code written in a short amount of time. That's only my 4-hours project implementing a custom crawler, work-arounding black-listing, and indexing it with Algolia. BTW, I'll write a blog post explaining the underlying ranking algorithm, which is the real point.
Not for the government, but I know some coworkers who do the same thing. Terrible idea to not completely decouple work and personal technology. There's no recovery process you couldn't achieve with a google, live, and yahoo account.
And you know this based on what? "hardcoded" != "faster"

It just guarantees that it will happen in that case. Unless you have some reason to believe that this mode is unattainable under any real world circumstance, I think the original point still has some credence.
Native image generation differs based on the platform. There is automatic native image generation in Windows: see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh691758.aspx for details. There's also Triton on Windows Phone: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2012/3-005.

In the classic Windows Desktop case, however, you're right: you need to NGen your code yourself or call NGen as a custom action from your installer.

In this case it's not the theoretical maximum. It isn't available to regular apps because the OS and CPU don't allow it, for good reason - to conserve power. The reason benchmarking apps can do it is that Samsung added code to specifically detect them.

Your car spec analogy is a good one. If the car maker removed the seats and carpet as well as inessential engine components before testing, that would be the equivalent of what Samsung have done here.

It would also be fraud.

I agree that model work (and I don't have a problem with the colloquial meaning of "model") is fundamentally different from formal portrait. But that said, I do actual models and studio photography quite a bit.

Even when using models, I'm generally after some essential expression of personality. The difference between a good model and an ordinary sitter is that they can achieve direct expression directly and comfortably, and through indirect means (such as playing a role or wearing a costume).

One thing they talk about in the video is that you can literally stack up and trade blocks with people.

Each block represents half a day devoted to a particular project (color coded). Having 16 blocks of Lego to put up on your board is way more fun than just saying in a general way that 8 hours need to go toward a project this week.

It takes scheduling/planning and makes it fun and possibly more efficient.
> No one really knows what Obamacare will do to our economy

Bullshit!

On any measure the USA health care system is one of the worst in the world.

It seems the people in the USA are the only ones that don't seem to understand this.

In fact in some cases the US health system offers health care fare worse than some developing countries (i.e. see Mike Moore's health movie).

The rest of the world understands good health care does not equate to being born with a silver spoon.

So what will Obamacare actually do for your economy?

Nothing!

Obamacare is not designed to destroy the US economy.

But it is designed to take your third world health care system and bring it into the first world.

Some would actually say it is designed to make you health care system more fair.

That means your US health system will take on a more equal, Socialist feel.

And hence the problem for the republicans!
List of U.S. Government shutdowns
I work for the Navy (paycheck says DoD); when they furloughed us to 80% time, they told us they didn't want us working unpaid overtime because it would send the wrong message to upper management (that message being "hey, you can cut 20% of our budget and still get the same results!"). With the exception of the obvious mission critical support stuff (where shifts were rearranged), they wanted things like phones going unanswered.

It makes sense to work "unpaid" overtime in a startup, or a business where it will advance your career or help you succeed. Unpaid overtime in the public sector is rarely rewarded; most who do it are really idealistic or just care about getting the job done. And while I love writing software, if they tell me I might be arrested for working on government code, I will just spend my extra time on my personal projects at home. Or hiking, climbing, playing music, etc. Once the furlough is over, I (and many others I know) will go back to putting in the unpaid hours to get the job done.

‘This works so well in video and music. It’s inevitable that there’s something to do here in the book space too’

While the ticket sizes (overall $2.5M, $50,000 per investment) may not be large, nice early move by Foundry to coopt a potential competitor into a partner.

Also, given that AngelList has now got $24M in funding from VCs, and VCs are in turn turning angels on AngelList, things don't look as adversarial or disruptive between the two as we originally thought?

Edit: Now would also be a nice time to remember how Naval was apparently, not so long ago, seen as toxic by the VC community:

> By the end of that year, Ravikant and other plaintiffs had settled the suit, but it was assumed that Ravikant had made a dangerous gamble with his reputation and connections by suing his peers.

> At the time the suit surfaced, in 2005, Ravikant was also a partner Dot Edu Ventures, which quickly removed his name from its Website, and whose founder and managing partner, Asha Jadej, played down the firm’s relationship with Ravikant. “We were at a point where we felt there were multiple factors, including the suit, which helped us all decide that this might be a good time to part ways,” Jadej told me at the time. Another person close to the situation told me at the time:“[Ravikant] had better win this suit and he better hope that he makes enough for life, because he’ll never work as a VC again.”
Your analogy was helpful. Thanks.

>because they seem harder to block by ad-blockers and thus think that more people will watch them.

Do companies actually believe this? Flash is the easiest to remove of all ads.

"If you create a truly brilliant ad which is targeted to
the right audience and let them do something with your
brand inside the ad for example people are more willing
to view them in my opinion in stead of just forcing them
the same old banner over and over again only with a
different brand in them."

I have a lot of sympathy for the outreach companies trying to make advertising agencies behave. At some point, someone's neurons started firing and realized consumers had taken control over how they view media. Someone realized that eventually advertisements were going to be viewed of the users volition. Which meant they no longer could be deceitful, obnoxious, baiting, terrible, and rude. Or at least not transparently so.

Unfortunately the industry was built on the grounds that the users had no choice, so the notion of good advertising I think will never come. Old men in stuffy suits don't change unless they go bankrupt.

I was thinking about this a while back when a comic on convictions was posted here and one of the comments asked if we should trust someone in politics who holds strong convictions or someone who bends with the wind.

If a politician holds to their convictions they are derided for being inflexible, if they change their mind they are accused of just being in it for the votes.

Can't we just let machine learning take over and train a bunch of digital politicians about the stuff we want to happen? Or are we so used to being told what to think by charismatic leaders that we couldn't live in a data driven political system?

(Only somewhat tongue in cheek.)

You called them assholes. In the title.

As a bit more constructive criticism from someone who's coded on punchcards (you may get a lot of this): stop digging. Decide which bits of your post you want to stand by and which bits you want to apologise for and do so.

Personally, I think the point about not supporting newbies was worth raising but the content and tone got in the way.
This is pretty cool. The google calendar event to create texts seems like a hack though (even more-so than the rest of it). Is there any reason this couldn't just use the SMS gateways that pretty much every carrier offers?

We do not believe in the benefits of reusing and staking external software bricks when developing our products. Our software is built in C language under Linux, with PHP/JavaScript for the web interfaces and it is continuously improved ...

Also, how would one stake a brick?

SEEKING WORK - Remote (Paris, France - but can travel in Europe)

Full-stack web developer with sharp marketing skills.

I can help with figuring out how to make more money out of your application (B2B SaaS apps are where I have the most experience).

By understanding who your customers are and what they're looking for, I can help create a better experience for them (examples: fixing application hot spots, adding live feedback chat at the right spot, customer satisfaction surveys, analyzing and reducing churn rate...)

Do you have poor signup rates? Low activation or retention metrics? Do you think you could make more money out of your current application?

I have 8 years of experience as a software developer (Python/Django/Javascript), and I've worked both on my own products and for other startups.

I can also help with your MVP, help you come up with the right questions, and developing the right product.
