i went to college in central florida, and now reside in NYC paying $2800 for a small studio. it's been nearly a decade of putting up with expensive rent, lines, loud headache inducing noises everywhere, occasional first encounter with a rat on sidewalk, and yet, no plans to move out.

some reasons to to like nyc:
it's no Tokyo, but it's actually pretty big. each neighborhood has its own vibe, and there are dozens of those in manhattan alone. The food is simply unbeatable. 2000 restaurants at any given time with new ones opening up every week. I'm having a hard time visiting all the good restaurants in my neighborhood alone. it's not too big where there is still a neighborhood feel (i'm super friendly with small business owners and personnel in local shops, my neighbors). in my experience [majority of] people have been very nice and open. i keep meeting people from all over the world every weekend. i have friends that are starting and running businesses that give me energy to go on. shit ton of good jobs. models. rich history on every block.. great for photography hobby, looks awesome in winter with all the snow.. looks awesome in the fall with all the leaves.. looks awesome in the spring with blooming spring blossoms.. easy to meet intellectual people.. models. lots of healthy living options, some nyc areas have turned into shopping malls, but the city still has an edge. to name a few.. i love going to miami to relax and party, but can't imagine actually living there. possibly when i'm ready to "slow down" whatever that means?
Yeap, it definitely has changed definitions. I would never use the term, but it definitely has changed definitions.
StartSSL is a pain in the ass if you're a business, and support sucks. Great for their personal certs.

GoDaddy is the cheapest, but I hate them. Use Namecheap.
Right, very condescending....

1. At no point do either of your definitions mention that the properties or terms are mutually exclusive.

2. You made a comparison between a resume and a portfolio, as opposed to a resume and a portfolio piece. The difference is crucial because the definition you provided mentioned the word collection - and because the "interactive resume" couldn't have been considered a collection of portfolio pieces.

3. In real life words often don't have such rigid boundaries. and thank god because otherwise the portfolio-resume would only be able to be discussed by people that have property-level understanding of the world and you would be the slack-jawed fool of the conversation.

Good comment, and much of it also applies to vague optimism that some people put into Machine Learning methods.
Nah, data science is AI-complete, like natural language understanding. Think of current state of data science as just the next iteration / rebranding of statistics, powered by newest developments in CS, machine learning and software industry. There is no shortage of statistical data exploration and modeling applications, and we are pretty far from full software automation in this space.

As a recruiter, I’d say that you really need to tell what you’re thinking to people who might interview you. PhD shows that you’ve spent some years to get your skills Certified and thus master some of them. Bur it doesn’t mean that a person with a PhD is better than the one without but with 5-10 years experience of working in some specific area. Some good programmers and scientists(like data scientist) never get a PhD and their skills are not lower compared to their certified peers. So my advice would be: lay it on the line regarding what you’re looking for in terms of challenges and reward for them and show what you can. Papers don’t matter much nowadays but personalities do.
AI-complete, awesome terminology you coined there.
I have to remember to check HN before driving in to work when a bunch of people call me about outages.
If I were to guess:

Google is detecting the user agent string and attempting to use features that should be supported. e.g. google's code is trying to use some IE11 feature that IE10 didn't support. The compat settings are making this fail which seems to cause google's code to drop to it's lowest compatibility mode (IE 6?) as some sort of 'compatibility panic'.
It's a pleasant surprise to see my old power supply article on the front page of HN today. I'd never given much thought to power supplies before researching that article and there's a lot more to their history than I expected. In particular, Robert Boschert seems like he should be a HN hero for running a startup from his kitchen table that had a huge (disruptive?) impact on the power supply industry.

There are a bunch of comments below about wall chargers. I investigated wall chargers too - see http://righto.com/charger - and there's a lot more inside them than you'd expect.

Let me know if you have any questions.
And the world needs also with good and easy education permanent and easy access to knowledges.
IE11 normally sends "Trident/7.0" and not "MSIE". Apparently Microsoft has added "google.com" to the Compatibility View List [1], which means IE11 now sends Google a User Agent that does include "MSIE". Google is interpreting this to mean it's an old version of IE, and sending the legacy view. You can manually disable the CVL, but then other sites that Microsoft has determined need old versions of IE won't work. I suspect Google will update their UA regexp soon, and this will be fixed, but it does sound like a Microsoft bug.

If you are at a large company with a data-driven marketing department (hint: the good ones are), the statement

"Well, we definitely proved that there's absolutely no correlation between our manager's new initiative and online sales; that small spike we saw was within seasonal variation"

will be much appreciated and valued. The data scientist doesn't need to report to the head of Marketing, and won't feel any pressure to make someone else's manager look good.
Do you want to hear about failures?

I tried; with Flextras ( http://www.flextras.com ). I wanted to build a set of UI Components which would extend Adobe's Flex Framework. For various reasons it was a failure; and I shut down the "commercial" portion of the company in January of this year.

At the time I launched the business; Flash was still viable and Adobe was pumping a lot of money into growing Flex--which was basically "Flash for programmers". Adobe was trying to grow the user base for Flex to a million developers and I wanted to get in early and ride the wave, so to speak. I thought there would be a market for high quality components that extended the Flex Framework and Adobe stated they wanted to focus on the tooling and infrastructure while leaving components to third parties. I thought I was in a good spot.

When I was preparing to launch Flextras, I was planning for a 70% drop in income [compared to consulting rates] and hoped it would grow from there. I ended up with a 90% drop in income; so that hurt a bit.

We launched with a single component, and the first year only had one sale, and all my energy was spent on building out our Calendar component. [which took a year and I threw everything out and restarted from scratch 3 times because I decided the API/implementation wouldn't provide enough flexibility].

I think it was in our second year released the Calendar component and an AutoComplete component. A "Spark" Version of our AutoComplete came out later to integrate w/ Flex's new component model. Then we released some mobile components. We were growing from our "first year" revenue and averaged about $10K per year before shutting down. The business was growing, but very slowly. Then Adobe had some bad PR mishaps and sales stopped overnight.

I could go on and on about problems and mistakes I made along the way.

I focused on the wrong things--I think I spent three months creating transitions on our Calendar component. Business users don't care about such things [although I got a lot of 'hey cool' during demos]. During this development time; the new version of Flex came out [a point release] which broke all of that work.

The model of selling individual components is inherently flawed. It does not present recurring revenue. I hoped to combat this by releasing a lot of products; unfortunately that didn't happen for a variety of reasons. Components took longer to build than I anticipated [especially the Calendar].

We should have had a package of some sort [one price gets everything we built]. We should have had a subscription [one yearly price gets everything we built; plus everything we will build]. My attempt to switch our business model was a colossal failure on many levels.

I covered quite a bit of the business failures in a presentation called "How to Fail Fantastically" at the 360|Stack conference ( http://vimeopro.com/360conferences/360stack-2013/video/72773... ).
My first computer was an Atari 800. It had a cassette deck and a 5 1/4" disk drive. I spent a lot of my youth typing in BASIC games that were printed in magazines and books, then modifying them to learn how it worked. My first programming language...

When my parents brought home an IBM-compatible PC with an enormous 50 MB hard drive I could hardly believe my luck.

Anyway, I don't need this to feel old; my wife already does that. She was in middle school when I was in college, and asks things like, "What's Galaga?" But I suspect she does it on purpose about half the time now...
We're beginning to see sites come back up on our TWC connection.
Google search does this too. Broken redirects and HTML5 history breaking Chrome's back button is becoming normal for me.
It's a textural representation of instructions for a computer; it's certainly code. I think the distinction you're looking for is whether writing HTML/CSS/etc constitutes programming or not. That's a recurring discussion on HN (I've personally come around to the view that it is).

Yeah, hackers use it more than some because they're a bit more ashamed. The community makes you feel that way sometimes though - I don't think you have any reason to. Thanks for sharing!
I think the problem is that EmulateIE10 is slightly broken: it sends "MSIE 10" but also "Trident/7.0". Real IE10 has Trident 6.0. This looks like it's screwing up the UA regexes.
Because I'm unable to sell it unless I bring a large cashier's check to closing. It's more underwater than a submarine, even though I bought it in 2003 with 10% down. Till then, it rents (barely) profitably. Welcome to central Florida real estate.

I also sell a downloadable self hosted app that targets developers (www.duetapp.com). I would love to hear about how you market Perch.

Did someone flip the street signs on me? I live in downtown Orlando and love the atmosphere. Plenty of meetups, cheap rent in and around the skyline, great nightlife, tons of big name concerts and great local shows every night of the week.

Gainesville on the other hand seemed to be mostly a bunch of drunken undergraduates. Cool if that's your scene, but outside of Grooveshark there didn't seem to be much of a tech community, and very little in the way of the fine arts.
Sorry, I try to err on the side of caution as well but there is no way to do that in this case. Microsoft is clearly at fault. Adding someone to a "compatibility list" is a unilateral action Microsoft took.

If it works fine without being on compatibility mode, don't add it to your compatibility mode list.

My dad worked for DEC in the 70's and 80's. When I was young he took us in and showed us a cabinet that had a bunch of spinning platters in it. They looked like 12" record albums, but they were light brown and made of metal. At least that's how I remember it, and I imagine they were the precursors to today's spinning hard disks.

My dad let my brother and I take a couple retired disks home. We tried to play frisbee once or twice with them, and then wisely decided that was probably a bad idea.

Inside GitHub's Super-Lean Management Strategy--And How It Drives Innovation
One cool thing that has happened over that several months is that Mt Gox has drifted down to a market share of around 30% of the total trade volume (generally speaking; ocasionally this trend weakens on days with huge swings, but less often than before). It is good to see more healthy exchange competition.

I don't feel this is a very good article.

IMHO the key to understanding vitamin supplementation is first, to know which are fat-soluble (and will be stored by your body) and which are water-soluble (and will be flushed by your body when you urinate).

So, it is almost impossible to over-dose on Vitamin C, since, your body will easily eliminate anything it doesn't need - C is water-soluble.

This article covers the differences well enough: http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=10...

I think what drives vitamin taking is a combination of

i) people not fully trusting doctors

ii) knowing that today's food is factory-produced and may be deficient in micro-nutrients like vitamins and minerals

iii) being willing to spend a few dollars per day as an insurance policy; after all, how many drop $5 a day at Starbucks?
These numbers are rarely reflective of actual encounters because many people who are nominally included in the LDS figure choose not to practice or observe.

Still, 35% nominally LDS is very low for Utah. Summit County is the one place in Utah that leans blue in most elections, and is a common settling place for wealthy persons who like skiing, hence the diminishing LDS population.

I use pingdom tools (with sms notifications), port-monitor.com, think i'll add this to them as well. Never hurts to have a few things checking sites.

One thing this is missing is being able to look for a string on a page. (either checking it is there (like "Loaded"/"Latest Posts"...something to indicate all is working fine), or checking it isn't there (like "error", "database connection error" etc)
There are loads of these kind of service monitoring services out there.
I've tried switching to Bing (kinda forced on a Lumia) and also sometimes when I can't find what I'm looking for with google. Without fail I've found myself switching back from Bing almost instantly even if I'm stuck with IE.

Either that app is really good, or the demo video was really good.

I normally don't get excited over tools like these, but wow that actually seemed very well done and very impressive.

The HTML/CSS code it produced was beautifully clean, so interestingly I'm actually most excited about the possibility of this being used as a training tool: the option to be able to instantaneously see the code in a side window as you're 'drawing' it -- this kind of simultaneous feedback is always a real boon for the beginner learner.

I would happily sell a bunch of scripts for a few $ on an "if it works, it works" basis. Once you start thinking about saving days of dev time it makes sense to bump it up to $100+ but then you will have to deal with emails or calls.

We sell a self hosted PHP app: http://teampasswordmanager.com. Sales went up this June when we released V2 (bootstrap based UI, more features). We're now adding more features and trying to keep up with requests from our users.
The reason it was delayed: lack of bandwidth within the NSA.

The agency which is recording every email and telephone call across the world is claiming lack of bandwidth to install internal security software. Let that soak in for a bit.
This is only true until something new comes along. History repeats itself...until it doesn't. After a long period of relative stability, the human population is exploding, for example.

Of course, in terms of human motivation, human suffering, sin and virtue, indeed: there is nothing new under the sun. But the instruments of suffering change. Rebecca Sedwick killed herself at the age of 12 because of cyber-bullying. 12-year-old girls have certainly killed themselves for being bullied before; but now the bullying occurs online. Is that new?

Governments have always sought absolute information, and absolute power, over the people: power seeks more power. But technology has allowed the US government to seek out this power in secret. Is that new?

You can always define things such that there is nothing new: Diana Nyad swam from Cuba to Florida, the first person to do so - and at the remarkable age of 64. But was long distance, open-water swimming through shark-infested waters new? No. Striving hard for what may seem to other people to be a wasteful and arbitrary token of accomplishment? No, that's as old as time itself.

(Interestingly, and I think quite remarkably, you can go the other way: in a sense, everything is new. Eating this apple? I have eaten apples before. Others have eaten other apples. But I never eaten this apple, right now, before now. Part of me doesn't like this reductio, but another part of me thinks that it's not ad absurdum at all.)

Be careful trying any kind of lessons from Github. I admire them greatly but they are an (almost-) unique company because every single person who works there also uses their product 8 hours a day.

This is so profound that when Github they face a significantly smaller set of scaling challenges. By definition everyone there is a expert user of the product and will have a complex and valid view of what's lacking and what can be improved.

I'm glad they are utilizing this gift to the fullest and experiment with new ways of doing things. They can significantly contribute to the global brainstorming effort of how to build a better kind of company. But be careful deriving lessons verbatim. If you want to apply lessons from github to your own company you will first have to figure out how you can get everyone in your company to do everything ( writing, reporting, identity management, coding, designing, ... ) through the same product that you are trying to sell.
