Volatility won't "go away", but it may diminish over time if bitcoin becomes a currency and not a commodity. It will, however, still be a deflationary currency which means the value of an amount of bitcoin should trend upwards. So if this gains traction as a currency and the speculators stop rushing the numbers up higher than what the economy can actually support, BTC might find a stable deflation rate and its volatility should diminish. (I'm actually very skeptical of both deflationary currencies and bitcoin in particular, but this is the bitcoin proponents' theory as I understand it.)

Wevorce(YC W13) Gets $1.7M To Use Technology To Make Divorce Less Messy
I heartdly disagree... And Joel also :P

"Here's the simple algebra. Let's say (as the evidence seems to suggest) that if we interrupt a programmer, even for a minute, we're really blowing away 15 minutes of productivity. For this example, lets put two programmers, Jeff and Mutt, in open cubicles next to each other in a standard Dilbert veal-fattening farm. Mutt can't remember the name of the Unicode version of the strcpy function. He could look it up, which takes 30 seconds, or he could ask Jeff, which takes 15 seconds. Since he's sitting right next to Jeff, he asks Jeff. Jeff gets distracted and loses 15 minutes of productivity (to save Mutt 15 seconds).

Now let's move them into separate offices with walls and doors. Now when Mutt can't remember the name of that function, he could look it up, which still takes 30 seconds, or he could ask Jeff, which now takes 45 seconds and involves standing up (not an easy task given the average physical fitness of programmers!). So he looks it up. So now Mutt loses 30 seconds of productivity, but we save 15 minutes for Jeff. Ahhh!"

Bootstrap has a lot more "extras (javascript stuff)" that make it easier to make an entire product using it.

That's pretty much it.
I would just like to say that I love Foundation! Kudos to the team and congrats on the new release. I look forward to exploring the new version. That being said, I am not really digging the new documentation page. The sample code containers should have a non-white background or at least some kind of a border.

That holds true for possessions, but not private-property. I think it's necessary to recognize the difference between private-property (e.g land, industry etc) and possesions (e.g one's house, car etc.).

I'm familiar with the concept of natural rights and it's claim to be some kind of objective rights, but I think it's fairly obvious that such a fought over topic is not even close to being objective.
fwiw most emulators now are pretty "plug 'n play". No settings to fiddle, rarely even controller button assignments, and the number of bugs continually shrinks.

You can fiddle, and get 1080p out of your N64 emulator, but that's usually not required, in at least the past few years. Further back (possibly significantly) yeah, they were pretty awful for everyday users.
I only use "print debugging" (using the logging facilities more often than not) if it's something I can leave in the codebase, like logging a function call and it's parameters, or when a routine is being skipped; then a debugger if I want to check the interface or docstring of some object or retry a call with different parameters on the REPL.
I believe Foundation is much better for front-end design than Bootstrap. The main benefit of Bootstrap is in backend design because it managed to get more popular and consequently its much easier to find 'bootstrap ready' js based widgets etc

> acting like you have some God-given right to inspect its inner workings.

As it happens, closed-source mathematical software is next to useless for anything serious, and for scientific work, it's fatal. This is the single biggest obstacle to programs like Mathematica -- it may be useful for experimentation, but once one intends to publish, it has to be completely excluded from the process.

Imagine someone claiming to have cured cancer, but using a method that other laboratories cannot imitate or inspect, essentially black magic. That's what faces people who try to use Mathematica in scientific work. It violates the most basic principle of science -- transparency.

Indeed, both reactions are irrational. And both have wasted opportunity and other costs. Society/world would be better off if people paid attention to actual risks and opportunities.

Every time I've been involved in an open floor plan office I look at the conference rooms. They end up occupied by the most senior person that doesn't have an office.

At one company where I worked management got offices, so it was senior developers staking out the conference rooms... at another, no one had an office, so the owner got the nicest conference room and some of the leads fought over the lesser ones.
During the dot com boom it was a always an issue if your company took too much VC money. Having a fat bank account balance can make you lazy, you can spend on things you don't need (Aeron Chairs for Everyone!) and you don't "sweat the details." but a lot of the things startup teams need to learn how to do are the exact opposite, spend only when necessary, sweat all the details, understand where every dollar of your monthly burn is going and ask yourself every month "Did that dollar work as hard for me as it should have?" With too much money it is easy to lose the discipline to keep the business at the forefront of your thoughts.

Wonderful. My big goal for 2014 is to submit something to Rust, this might come in handy.
I define myself as a pragmatic computer user. I use Linux because it is the best tool for the job, but I use closed source programs when they are the best tool.

In program why would someone want a closed source solution that cost $2,000 for profession use and $200 for a one year personal license when we have so many great Open Source languages? Why program in something closed source any more? I can't see that working especially in statistics and math.

How would any closed source (secrets) Mathmatica be a better option than an open source language (Sage)? Really want to understand the thought process.

Also Trojan hHrse analogy is always used when referring to closed source programs coming into an environment. Take your issue up with RMS (Richard Stallman)

Because they only needed a majority to pass the rule change. There wasn't enough opposition to cause a filibuster, which was the point. There was enough opposition to do a filibuster when 60 votes were needed, now that only a majority is needed a filibuster is pointless. Thus, the minority might as well go home if they face a united front from the majority on the specific points this rule change covers.

I'd say you are in a good position. People hiring for 'PHP' or '.NET' or 'JAVA' are all most likely also looking for someone who knows javascript. Even if you only know the basics of those languages, the fact that you know javascript and angular are good. Many companies here in my local area are all advertising for .NET but when you get to the specifics they are making web apps... and javascript is what they should hire, but they don't...

this is also how dilution happens - more shares are issued, and then everyone with existing shares owns a smaller % of the total amount.

Wouldn't a match with an open-source engine be unfair? The competing close-source engine could embed the opponents source inside it to predict the exact moves that the opponent would make, thus gaining a speed advantage.

Even more interestingly, what would a match between two open-source engines look like, if they both embedded each other?

On the one hand it's never been a better time to be a front end dev, and on the other it's absolutely crazy how fast front end technology is progressing the last couple years. I just caught on to Foundation 4 in the last 4 months or so, and now here's a new release that's way more evolved. Amazing.

Thanks to the Zurb team! I'll definitely be ripping off lots of ideas for my company's tortoise-speed Drupal sites.
great idea - just created a request for it. please upvote!

I have seen those (generally larger, automated versions) in airports, and there is certainly a moment in every transit where the way back is closed and the way forward is not yet open. That same is true of ordinary, two-way, glass-walled revolving doors, to serve their purpose as a temperature airlock. I've never heard anyone worry about either one trapping people.
The cloture rules have changed many times over the years. A quick summary can be found on the US Senate webpage. However, Originally the filibuster was not unique to the Senate, House members could also filibuster, and there was no means of voting to end debate. Obviously this had to change if the House was to accomplish anything as it grew. One could well argue that it is time for the rules in the Senate to change again if it is to get anything done.

"Interchange uses media queries to dynamically load responsive content that is appropriate for different users' browsers.”

"Abide is an HTML5 form validation library that supports the native API by using patterns and required attributes."

http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/components/abide.html

Zepto support has been removed from Foundation 5.

Docs are continuing to look better, and they still have docs back to Foundation v2.

Thanks Zurb!
Looks solid. Set it up with Alfred.app right away. Looking forward to continued support!

> Well, what is the possible catch? I can't see it.

It's obvious. The first exposure to something expensive is often free. Heroin. Women. Alcohol. All those things that end up costing much more than one can imagine at the outset.

It's a classic marketing strategy, and it works.

> My immediate guess is that they think the money isn't in selling the software itself but to have some sort of cloud-based subscription model ...

No, it will be more like Wolfram Alpha, a way to show what a product can do without providing the full experience.
comments for sure. Could be as simple as disqus on endpoints like the angular docs.
So for the HTML deficient are there any template sites for foundation yet? These exist for bootstrap, and for someone who doesn't have even a single bone of design talent in his body they're a godsend.

We'll add those to our bad search list. Thanks for the feedback!
Technically it is related to the content and usability of the page as a whole. It falls under the umbrella of feedback on the user's experience with the site.

I think it's myopic to dictate what is and isn't up for discussion, to say "well that's not the point, just ignore it." If the ad is so distracting and off-putting that the user doesn't even get to the content, that is pretty important.

And if that post rises to the top, the message is that a substantial amount of people are having a similar experience.

> Imagine the level of access you have if you have the balls to actually utilize it.

Ugg. The thing I want the least is to chit chat with you about random bullshit, beer or overhear you talk about your christmas, your hanukkah or your puppy or child. If you and I need to have a conversation, we can set aside a time and talk. This applies equally to whether the "you" is the mentor or the "I" is a mentor.

Just because two people work side by side doesn't necessarily mean access magically changes.

As someone with open projects on GitHub that may or may not be a future source of income (lol), specific and succinct language on the licensing is probably your best way to ensure adoption of your product.

I just cannot be bothered to risk using an icon font in a GitHub repo only to have to bleach every trace of it, because I misunderstood the license or the author’s intent.

To help remember just how the hell the most popular “free” font icons are licensed, I created a gist: https://gist.github.com/4443939. There is no way that overview looks simple to anyone.

This is what I as a developer think about as the very first thing, when I see a collection of free-asterisk icons.

The cognitive load of parsing the legalese, especially from the standpoint of someone with zero jurisprudence is a huge toll and reason for my personal bounce rate on similar products.

Consider what the point of your free icons are (portfolio vs. seeing your icons everywhere), and how you wish to stand out (quality vs. licensing).

They say cache invalidation and naming things are the hardest thing in programming, but licensing is definitely up there; at the very least, it is something most people in the field do not—but should—understand.

+++

tl;dr: If you launch a set of free(*) icons, crystal-clear licensing should be at the top of your checklist.

I would argue that take-home project-based interviews are one of the better developer interviewing tools I've encountered. They're realistic work-sample tests, they're low pressure, and they are very high-signal.

They do have the flaw that they might not weed out candidates that are really slow (since they can generally take as much time as they want on a take-home project). They also don't weed out candidates who are willing to have someone else help them significantly with the project.

As such, I've found take-home projects useful in addition to an onsite interview. At a previous company, we would follow up a take-home project with an onsite interview involving a couple 1-hour "code this using any tools/resources you want with no one looking over your shoulder" questions to prove that they didn't cheat on the take-home and that they can get things done in a reasonable timeframe. I always felt it was a pretty useful way of evaluating programmer skill without stupid whiteboard coding.
TL;DR, basically boiling down to:

"There are debugger people, and then there are printf people, you see..."
The only thing you get with bootstrap at this point is an insane amount of plugins (datepickers, etc). In general, you just have to pick the vanilla jquery plugins and theme them up to use foundation's syntax. I just recently did this with xeditable and poshytip.

I'll take the semantics of foundation any day. Love this framework.

Team-sized open plans look interesting. Even better if there is plenty of private space (like meeting rooms) available for people never using all of them... But that arranjement is unstable - the meeting rooms won't survive office politics - much better to have private offices for everybody, with an open "patio" shared by the entire team where you could work if you want (yes, I did keep the arranjement, just changed the names).

As an afterthought, now that phones are all VoIP, are there WiFi endpoints available for sale?

Yes, the ability to connect to and debug a remote, running JVM is a killer feature. And it is well supported by IntelliJ and Eclipse. But it's a function of the JVM and not the debuggers themselves - if the Python runtime offered remote debugging then I'm sure Python debuggers would support it too.
I think it's stupid to reject people who don't have an active Github account. Lots of very talented programmers work on proprietary code, especially outside the narrow niche of advertising-driven products where companies tend to produce closed-source software.
