I had to write a lot of K at university (thus disclosing where I went to, and confusing people that have written any K with the idea you could possibly write a lot of it).

Get by the symbolic confusion (Arthur himself used to respond to confused students on the mailing list about such things) and it's really quite inspired. I can appreciate how an APL with proper symbols would be properly productive. Your code ends up super dense, with non-trivial stuff easily fitting on just a few screens, so you can keep track of what's going on. (KDB itself, the commercial column based DB product built with K, was notoriously small for the functionality). The real pain I seem to recall was interfacing it with anything else, but the entire environment is tiny.

This is one of those languages that really expanded my mind and made me hope the rest of the world would one day revisit the ideas of the APL family.
Dunno.

Serious question:
I have been a professional developer for about 14 years now, and have intimate knowledge of a ton of technologies. The number of keywords I'd have to put on my resume if I had to list them all would run longer than a page. What is the most professional way to format a resume of this sort? Should I fill the last page with the names of technologies and word to represent my experience with it?
Not sure I follow this comment. But anything non-trivial needs some sort of scripting. Take ant for example, it started out as a pure declarative build system that worked ok for simple things. Then complexity reared its ugly head - needed loops and conditionals and the tool mutated into the awful beast it is today. So I think you have it backwards.

I'm pretty amused that most of the responses to this comment is "I built a service competing with dropbox that does what you want!".

It's interesting to see the changes in the market since when Dropbox pioneered it around 2007 or so.

You sure about that? EasyList, the most common block list, clearly intends to block ALL ads, even self hosted ones. it blocks by css class name, directory name, image dimension, etc. It's updated frequently as users report unblocked ads.

(Not to mention how incredibly hard it would be to sell ads set up like that.)
This, a thousand, million times +1.

I try to use sites without ad-blockers, but invariably some site has some poorly written, or insecure (a la yahoo), that takes over your computer.

I don't mind ads so long as they are unobtrusive and don't waste my processor cycles with stupid animations.

I'm confused too. Which of these things (http://www.wnyc.org/story/running-list-what-we-know-nsa-can-...) are exploits and which 'implants'? Why does it matter? What is the NSA doing that is worth all that?

I guess I'm not qualified to speak on this subject, I can't say anything without sounding like a newb. The NSA requires Google, wireless operators, everybody who has or transmits data, to hand it over assembly-line fashion and that's not an 'exploit'. But if I managed to do that, it would be.

So the NSA doesn't get labeled as a rogue hacker or exploit-creator because, well, because of semantics.
I think it depends on the audience.

>So when the President stands before us today and speaks for 45 minutes without saying anything of consequence, without providing any evidence that the threat is so dire, so imminent, so cataclysmic that we must relinquish our freedoms to preserve our freedoms, I can no longer give him the benefit of the doubt.

It gets worse: people who do such things, can also manufacture concrete evidence of "dire and imminent" stuff.

For example by letting the stock market crumble to some predetermined stop point, when they come with measures to save the day. Or by provoking for some attack and seeing it happen -- which is mostly what was done in Pearl Harbor to convince people to get in WWII (E.g:

It's not smugness, it's sensationalism, and it's a valid PR tactic. I think the old saying "there's no such thing as bad publicity" applies in spades here. Look at the controversy in this thread: some people think it's bad, some think it's good, but the number of people with Freshdesk on the brain has jumped by an order of magnitude—if half of them are turned off it's still a net win.
Sure you do; many nations have made that choice. Of course, it might not help the gender ratio on your currency. The only money I can find with a feminine picture is a dollar coin with a Native American woman.
That may be true, that there are plenty of plants.

But once you accept that aesthetics is a valid concern, your argument becomes one about the particular choice in plants, of which you conspicuously do not provide examples. Like cacti surrounded by bark or rocks (how friggin' ugly.)

Because when you actually start naming plants, you will quickly find that your solution is not quite as simple as you would like to think it is. Either the plant is not actually aesthetically better (not in your opinion, mind you, but the opinion of the homebuyer), or that the plant does not grow quick enough, or it cannot be supplied in sufficient quantities and sufficiently low cost, or it has high maintenance costs (think lawnmowers), or that it does not sufficiently prevent soil erosion like grass and needs additional landscaping (like bark or rocks), etc.

Identifying a problem is not so difficult. (Open up a math book.) Identifying a solution is often much more difficult.
It depends on the purpose of the website.

I blame Digg v1.0 (now taken over by Reddit) for it becoming a common tactic online -- As the Digg front page was taken over by lists, that accessible format allowing for easy upvotes, it encouraged an invirtuous cycle of other sites desperately adopting it as traffic started becoming much more clustured, and "winner takes all" became more important. Sites had less success existing in their niche given that even their normal readers were spending most of their time with the herd, so if you can't beat them, make a list about how to join them.
Yes, it's jarring to see the juxtaposition between the the first (Dialect Map) and second (Boston Marathon bombings) pieces of content. But it should also be remembered that articles about the Boston Marathon bombings could be found anywhere from a variety of sources, while the Dialect Map tool was exclusive to the New York Times.

I think that goes a long way to explain why, in the context of solely the NYT, the Dialect Map was more popular. But let's not take that to mean that, overall, people were more interested in the Dialect Map than the bombings. They weren't.... they just got their information about the bombings somewhere besides the NYT.

I used to love Borland tools.

Having learned Turbo Pascal before C, I never liked C, given the capabilities of Turbo Pascal.

Type safety, blazing compile times, modules, system level programming, objects.

Management killed Borland products thanks to their continuous change of brand, lack of investment on Kylix and Anders going to Microsoft.

Most customers became reluctant to keep investing on their tooling.

PHP isn't even remotely gone. Between one of the largest sites in the world (Facebook) and the most popular blogging platform (Wordpress) not to mention a countless number of little (and not so little) sites, PHP is stronger than ever.

The additional revenue that comes from a perfect domain is roughly equivalent to the cost of building a bike shed.

Actually, it depends on the audience, as ibstudios pointed out. A "mobile audience" isn't enough information to make a good decision; among potential users of mobile devices are such different groups as children, adults who raise children, adults who don't raise children, old people... These groups can be broken into even smaller demographics.

If you're counting pennies, more alternative TLDs can be more expensive over time (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7069513). If you can find a short but not too cryptic .com, go with it. An .io, for instance, has the advantage of shortness and more available English words.

The domain name should be pretty low on the list of priorities for your app. Focus on design (for the app and for marketing pages), content and marketing copy, good customer service, and performance.

Your bottom-line takeaway is spot-on.
For me, anyway, the answer is tracking time.

If I want to do something, say, work on a project, I set a timer for 30 minutes and start working on the project. My rule for myself is that for 30 minutes, I have to work on the project, even if I'm banging my head against the wall and not making any progress. After 30 minutes, I either keep working (if I'm in the zone), or stop, re-evaluate and repeat - but never stop before 30 minutes is up. At first, this was painful, but now it's pretty easy to get into the flow. I do this also with things I really don't enjoy, like dishes and housework.

While I think that the rule itself is arbitrary, I think what it did was help me to build discipline, which was immensely important.

Then, video games and other entertainment go at the end of the day, where I can enjoy it guilt free - and importantly, where it can't overlap with work. One nice thing is that I don't feel guilty having fun anymore. Of course, I'm not so strict, sometimes I wake up on a Sunday morning and play games for three hours, but generally I try to stick to this plan.

As other people have said, you need to separate what you need to do over what you want to do.

Another technique that I use is to separate work space from play space. I'm not going to go and play Starcraft II (my chosen drug) in a Starbucks, so if I'm feeling particularly distracted, I'll go there to do work. I live in NYC so I don't have the luxury of having a spare room to use as an office, but if I did I'd seriously consider setting up an office separate from my main desk (ie. have a video game computer and a serious computer).

Finally, start slow. Lots of people look for big overnight change, don't get it, and revert to old habits. Instead, start slowly. Do one of these 30 minute sprints each week day, and two each weekend day.

And to amplify this point slightly, the value of this is that we can use a weaker, more general definition and thus capture more behavior with our theory.

Deregulation was Congressional action, not action of the Federal Reserve (usually referred to by the shortened form, "the Fed").

Makes me wonder if they should not bring the old Borland name (or even Turbo). That'll resonate at least with a lot more older developers (that might be managers now).

I stared with programming with TURBO.COM (Turbo Pascal 3.0) - it was 33kb DOS executable and had built-in editor - fit on a diskette, and there was space for other things.

I skipped version 4 (Turbo/Borland Pascal) and had most fun with 5.0 and 5.5, then 6.0 was solid, and later it was the last time I've used Borland products - the first Delphi and that was it.

Turbo Vision (Borland's GUI for Text Mode - e.g. DOS) was very advanced. I've briefly tried OWL (C/C++ I think) - but had to move onto other things.

Then Delphi was very easy to build interfaces, and later when Microsoft snatched Anders Hejlsberg it kind of resurfaced in Microsoft's products. For example MFC's GUI editing was much worse (and still is) than whatever Delphi had 15 or more years ago (my opinion, I know too many MFC fans out there, and surely they still love it).

Some of the less free ITU member states recently designed a bunch of nasty, restrictive protocols for turning the Internet into a complex web of pay-per-hop-per-packet price gouging.

For a real eye opener compare the length of these K versions of the Alioth benchmarks to their more verbose brethren http://kparc.com/$/z/comp.k.

I found these on the K OS project page - http://kparc.com/os.htm. There's a great description of Arthur Whitney building a Notepad like text editor (1K) in 30 minutes or so using this system here - http://coding-is-like-cooking.info/2013/09/an-introduction-t....

Personally K is a bit too terse for my tastes - I think something like Nile achieves some of the terseness of APL without looking like line noise - http://github.com/damelang/nile/blob/master/examples/text-la....
No, what OpenBSD needs is a broader FOSS community that doesn't turn every bump in the road into a referendum on bruised feelings from years ago, and recognizes its indebtedness. I type 'ssh' how many times a day?

Not that I don't understand those feelings. I've spent enough time lurking on openbsd-misc to have seen Theo and friends be beastly. But never without some provocation. And one might wish better impulse control on any number of online personalities.

(And if you find this rude, note that I'm not involved with OpenBSD -- not even on the mailing list anymore -- so blame me, not 'the OpenBSD community'.)
I loved it too. I moved to "C" because of one missing function in Pascal (and as I would say now - it's runtime library) - "movefile" - e.g. moving file from one directory to another.

Also someone was spreading rumours that all games were written in C/C++ so we had to move to it :)

When I learned assembly, and got my Ralph Brown's interrupt list (best thing ever back in the days) I went back to Pascal and made little assembly function for "movefile".

I remmember friend of mine, who just moved to "C" put all his code in the .h file - and it was compiling all the time. Back then having .TPU file and not having to write additional header file was very advanced compared to C/C++ - and the compilation times were much faster.
Yeah I am talking about individuals. I guess I am not their target customer though. Obviously to big companies a few thousand is nothing (especially when you look at >$10k for MSDN Ultimate) but Embarcadero have zero products aimed towards the individual developer (not even the Starter Edition is worth it as it is so limited for the price).
My experience was quite the opposite - Borland C++ 3.1 and I never liked Pascal ;)

That's about the reaction people around me had -- if the company were to give up day care, people threatened to quit.
I think that, for certain topics, these sorts of visualizations could be the future of journalism. It allows one to take a complex subject, and illustrate a portion of it much more lucidly than is possible in text.

That said, it also really interesting to note that the data for the "How Y’all, Youse and You Guys Talk" actually came from a Harvard study. The actual "journalism" was really an exercise in UI for the NYT.
