I won't be switching from Rdio until the web app has a way to pin music to devices. I think Google Music is definitely a more featureful product and would use its ability to upload my own music in some cases. But I can't be bothered to go through all my favorite albums on a little mobile screen and pin them.
A simplified graphical approach to machine learning
At one company, we use the Development, Test, Beta and Master branches unless we are working on a major, long-term feature. Then, we create a special branch for that. At the other company, we use one branch for every FogBugz case. They both work just fine.
Incentive? Do people use Maps and Music on iPad to the extent that they do on iPhone? Personally, I only really use both when I'm on the move - I'm very unlikely to pull out a tablet at that point.

This applies a lot more to Maps than it does to Music, of course.

If you took a camera, a music player, books, a flashlight, a phrase book and travel guides with you then you would not be being minimalist. Replacing them with one tool is physically more minimalist, but in terms of distractions or intellectual 'stuff' about the same.
Interesting... based on that graph the US is borderline below too (isn't the replacement rate something like 2.1 or close to it)?
Yes.

Master

QA/Staging that tracks master (but can be merged to first for staging environment testing)

Feature/Release branch (once the project is stable, these are more granular) get merged into QA/Staging first.
I'd never considered that someone might make their staging environment publicly accessible. At the various places I've worked, we've always accomplished that using internal DNS and firewalls. From the inside it looks like a real site.

I guess if you're gonna do some freaky A/B testing this might be a good idea. I dunno, though... it really depends where vulnerability testing occurs in your lifecycle (before, during or after staging).

EDIT: Right, you might make it accessible to the outside world to leverage cloud-based vulnerability-assessment or load-testing tools. All good then.
> they represents their view of what they should want and blame all other factors.

An interesting point, the magazines are (primarily) written for women by women and as they are not a compulsory purchase I suspect that if there was a demand for tech news in them there would be (I suspect if it increased readership and hence advertising revenue they'd cover ancient Latin if there was the demand).

Making an issue of a womans magazine carry tech to balance misogyny is as strange as getting Linux Format to carry a recipe for buns.

All that said of course this is a Guardian piece and they do tend to write this kind of stuff to insite controversy (in many ways the liberal daily mail).

QA/Staging can also be used as a place where features that are functional, but not complete can be tested.

Wow... what a shitty, judgmental thing to say. Having 10 credit cards does not equal poor money management. Having 10 maxed out credit cards with a crap load of debt might be. Your credit rating might suffer a little by having a bad "income to potential debt" ratio, even if you have $0 balance on every card and always make your payments on time... but just having a bunch of cards is not the issue.
Ask HN: Help a self taught programmer wannabe what to do next
Hi everybody!
I work as a product manager, and decided that the best thing for me to learn is to code, so i can understand what the devs are talking, and can weight tradeoffs better, without bothering them with simple things.

I think that MOOCS are one of the best things that happened in internet in last few years, and i became a avid consumer of them. I did introductory courses (Harvards CS50 and MIT 6.00x). Did Andrew's Ng machine learning course, and i'm finishing Programming Languages by Dan Grossman. Besides the theory, i'm working on a few pet projects envolving machine learning. Learned git basics, and read the news reguarly on Hacker News.

I have major holes in my lnowledge that i would like to fulfill now. Programing per se, and algorithms don't afraid me ( i think i learned it fast because a i have a very good foundation on math (enough to understand machine learning theory, for example).

The thing is, i know nothing about:

i) Infrastructure: How to deploy, how to monitor, how to use linux well ii) Networking and asynchronous programming: My programs are always linear and take inputs from files.

Without learning (i) and (ii), it's impossible to envolve my pet projects into something really usable.

I want to learn how programs talk with each other, how they are deployed, event loops, how machines are provisioned, and stuff.

Any sugestions? I'm not afraid learning "the hard way", but i would really appreciate it something like moocs, with baby steps and immediate feedback of the progress.

> I'm a go-getter and want to help him out

It's language trap. Go-getter is just a tag. It sounds nice, but in your context it just means "I'm ok with altering my personal life when my boss asks".

Here are some more options if you are not a 'go-getter':

4. Ask your boss to delay the meeting so you have enough time to do the spreadsheet in your own time.

5. Ask your boss if the spreadsheet is absolutely necessary for the meeting. Given that there was no time to have the "proper" document done, would it be possible to have a "high-level" version only? Maybe I can send the complete spreadsheet after the meeting via email?

6. The last-resort option would be proposing compensation with free time. "I will arrive early and do the spreadsheet early, but I will leave after lunch / will not come to work on friday". Make sure that you earn personal hours here: if you arrive 1 hour earlier, you should leave 2 hours earlier. Don't accept more money for that overtime.

In addition to those two options, start telling your boss (softly) that having you prepare a spreadsheet manually every week is not very productive. Propose spending some time automating the process so at least it takes 15 minutes instead of several hours.

Try this person. He's done a reasonable job on work I have seen:

http://fiverr.com/experthq

I would try others on fiverr.com. Spend your $5 bucks on 3-4 different designers and you're still ahead and likely to get something good out of it.

Note that, if you want the raw files (psd, etc.) you'll pay a little extra ($10 extra for the person above).
You do have to watch out for a bad "income to potential debt" ratio. Having a ton of open accounts (even if with $0 balances) can be a bad thing. You have the potential to go wild one weekend and find yourself with a ton of maxed out cards. Some lenders are not keen on that either.
While David's constant MS-bashing makes me weary to his writing most of the time, in this case, he's absolutely correct to call Microsoft out on this advertising. People using their electronic devices and ignoring people with them is already a large problem and is sucking the humanity out of humanity. Encouraging this sort of behavior is deplorable, but obviously Microsoft has got to sell a product and this sort of stuff appeals to management.

Your scenario assumes that you're going to a bar, working while attaching no significance to anyone else in the process. These ads actively encourage ignoring your partner on a date or your kid at a game to get work done. Call me old-fashioned, but that picture simply isn't correct.
You're right, I edited the title to mention that.
Like I said, it's a low impact factor, but it still is. And I'm not saying this is "my experience" it's just one of the factors.

Also credit lines could be anything from retail credit, mortgage, car loan etc. All apply.

Compared to paying every month, utilization, past default etc. it's a low factor, but it still is.

Comparing Duetto with Emscripten: a follow-up
I'll add a +1 for HelpX. I worked for an English couple in Normandy, and an Irish woman in New Ross, Ireland in the summer of 2009. It was a fantastic way to see a different side of the country you're traveling to, as well as a great experience.

My hosts in Normandy told us stories about people who travel through Europe just bouncing from HelpX spot to HelpX spot, all they need is money to travel between spots. If you pick your destinations right, you get a built in tour guide.

It's not the same kind of relaxing as laying on a beach somewhere, but if you find a good helpx, it's rewarding, and can be a lot of fun.
To add more clarity and transparency, this Kickstarter campaign is being run by a friend of mine and I'm trying to provide him and his dad with some useful feedback. Anything would be appreciated.

Pure FUD. Oracle has owned Innodb since 2005 and now that they own the whole of MySQL impressive releases are coming at a steady clip. To date, Oracle has been a better steward of MySQL than Sun was.
If you're in a product-driven business, then the idea of working during appetizers is pretty horrific. If you're in a client driven business, it's just what clients demand, and if you don't give it to them they'll find someone else who will.

That said, there is a flip side to the coin. In a client-driven business, you tend to have more flexibility when something isn't on fire. I used to work at a law firm and now I work for a judge. I liked my work-life balance substantially more at the firm. Before, if the baby had a rough night, I'd just sleep late and roll in at 10. Not so now. Uncle Sam expects me to be at my desk by 8:30 sharp. Before, if I wasn't busy I'd take a long lunch with my wife. Now, I've got 1 hour for lunch, minus 10 minutes to get through security. I don't take work home anymore, but I also don't get to go home when I don't have work.

So I guess I don't find that Microsoft ad as troubling as David does. To me it doesn't signify filling all the crevices of my life with work, but rather having the flexibility to do my work when I want to and need to.
Yes, this is one option to work around Dropbox’s limited permission options here. You can create another Dropbox account and link that to Harp Platform.

I would agree that it is harder to manage debt. I suggest not having any debt in that case.

And yes, hard requests negatively impact your score more than say having 10 lines of credit would positively impact your score. Hard requests do not last as long as credit lines though.

Does this (low impact) factor suggest that you request to get a new card every month? No. I think the top range (for credit lines) is 15-22. Going above that would not affect your score any more positively. I think it's ridiculous but that's what it's become.

The more you borrow (or technically "can borrow") the more lines you'll be able to get.

I see fiverr as an opportunity for people to make a little money where the US dollar translates to something a lot better than $5 bucks in their currency.

Also note that $5 bucks is a starting point. I think for $5 bucks its a win/win to see if someone is "good enough". Usually, the good ones will tack on more money if you want the raw files or additional work done.

I get that $5 is nothing for work done in North America but in the rest of the world where the currency isn't US, it's likely to be worth it.

I love what I do - when something comes up at 11PM or 4AM I'm jumping, not groaning, to the phone. I can reciprocate that by reserving the option to take long lunches and spontaneous time off when I am not needed. It is a mix of gradients, not a balance of discretes.

I don't know how valid it is now, but in July of 2011 I reverse engineered some aspects of Zynga's Words with Friends and put it up online: https://github.com/v64/fiend

The most interesting part was the way they decided to do the random generation of letter tiles. At the start of the game, each client was given the same PRNG seed (in the case of Words with Friends, the PRNG was a Mersenne twister), and when tiles needed to be drawn from the bag, instead of having the server tell you what tiles you received, you would use the preseeded PRNG to randomly draw your tiles from the available pool.

Of course, as your opponent is also doing this with the same preseeded PRNG, this also allows you to determine what tiles your opponent has, and what order the tiles will be drawn in for the rest of the game.

So everyone supporting this, don't you have on calls in your team? (assuming you work on a live product). Don't you have subject matter expertise split enough that you might be needed when your component conks? Don't you have aggressive targets that your whole team is rushing towards once in a while?

It might be a systemic issue. It might also just be an one off situation. You should fight back if the boss is just being lazy / incompetent, but most of the situations I have seen have been way too deep for the boss / current oncall to handle. You just suck it up and get to work - that's all. The onus is on you to equip your boss to handle it himself.

As always different shades - there are many cases where a set timetable isn't an option. In those cases, I welcome such tools that give me the option to work from anywhere rather than forcing me to drive back to office.
