You were down voted but my first thought was exactly the same. What is the relevance without the specifics behind who or in what particular situation.

My other thoughts were:

Where are you living? (Both geography and say "with parents")

How old are you?

How do you pay your bills (with "salary" = 0) and so forth.

What are your savings?

What is your safety net?

Many things play into whether someone can even begin
to afford to get little or $0 salary.

Do you have kids?

Are you married?

I'm fortunate in that I live in a council flat as I was homeless and sleeping on the streets when younger.

But even though I have a low rent, it's comparable to my friends who are living in shared accommodation in the South and East of London.
Interesting. On my Nexus 5 all of those examples work perfectly without touching the phone. Since around the time of the Nexus 4 the voice recognition has been really good (for me at least).

Not trying to argue - it's just interesting how much variation there is for different people (for both Siri and Android apparently).

What you're saying makes a lot of sense. Clojure has a lot to recommend it (especially the JVM, in business) but there are a lot of benefits to Haskell.

The "source->sink" problem is a pain, I agree. It's one of those dangers of macros and metaprogramming that seems to be difficult to resolve. Generally, I only run into nastiness there, though, when I'm trying to do things that would be very hard to do in statically-typed languages.

What I've noticed in Scala and Ocaml is that people end up hacking the compiler (see Jane Street's "with sexp" and "with fields"). That, to me, has all the negatives that come from macros and dynamic typing. A compiler that does static typing is great, but if it ends up being hacked, then all bets are off and I'd rather use macros. (I'm playing Devil's Advocate here; I know that most web apps aren't going to require compiler hacks, but most companies, given enough time, will find reasons that they need to hack the compiler.)

I'm curious about your experiences with Haskell. What negatives have you found in the language? (I like it a lot, but haven't used it for anything big.) How strong is the story for the web? What are the build tools like; are they mature, or obviously in need of work (as in, say, Ocaml or Scala)?

Smart Voicemail released for Windows Phone
Smart Voicemail is an advanced Voicemail with 'status updates & availability' to quickly let callers know why you missed their call.
It's also viewed as an Out-Of-Office / Vacation responder for Smart Phones.

After two months of hardwork, it’s finally on the Windows Phone Store :) .

Best is whatever lets you bang out your presentation and get back to your customers.

Worst is time spent wondering what software, what background color, what font, what socks to wear, or a million other distracting but irrelevant details that trick you into thinking you're accomplishing things.

Never is how many times anything important is going to hinge on what software you used to distill your story, numbers and potential into a short presentation.
I have Comcast home internet in the bay area (Speedtest is around 30mbit down/8 mbit up) and every time I try to watch anything on Netflix it buffers for a minute and the resolution usually stays unacceptably low (320p?!) while usually having to buffer again every 2-5 minutes, sometimes for the whole run time of the show. Meanwhile, Comcast's own XFINITY streaming service delivers instantly (no buffering) at full HD resolution.

I actually never understood what the whole net neutrality discussion is about, as it's very obvious that we're already getting screwed over by ISPs.
It may also help if you're what's known as an "outward introvert." This topic is discussed in the book "the highly sensitive person" where introverts are basically dissected along the lines of "outward" and "inward." I would consider myself an "outward introvert" (like an extrovert except I pay a bit more dearly for it after the fact) and have no problem with public speaking, teaching, etc. I have a good friend who is an "inward introvert" and she avoids anything even close to speaking to a group.

"Uber could make the recent complaints go away fairly quickly. It could drop surge pricing. And it could acquiesce and change its service in cities where government and industry have come out against it."

This is false. If Uber gives an inch, their competitors will go for the kill and move on to targeting the jugular. What they want is for Uber to not exist, and for there to be no new competitor or revolution in their business. There is no way to appease their competitors that results in Uber surviving as a useful service.

What Uber's competitors want is very simple: 1) they want to not have to compete with any innovation; 2) they do not want to have to change or improve their services; 3) they want no new, fast growing entrants allowed in their markets

Basically what they want is a frozen, guaranteed market with zero market forces. That's why their response is: violence, regulations, political leverage, etc (anything but innovation or actually competing with Uber).
Transistor feature sizes in commercial products are no smaller than 16nm right now. Wow.
While in Chicago over the holiday I tried out an app called Hailo to get yellow cabs on 3 separate occasions when none were to be found. I both enjoyed and recommend the app (with which I've no affiliation).

Not sure if you'd get the same response as uber taxi. Some of the hailo drivers also had the uber app running somewhere on their dash and some did not.

Because the founders took all the risk, sounds so much better than you showed up late to the party, sorry all the good stuff is gone, we've got some PBRs left though.

Fundamentally though businesses are designed around the risk of employees leaving, therefore you're in a pretty shitty point of leverage.

People will tell you whatever you'll believe in order to pay you less. It's not a VC thing, it's not a CEO thing, it's a people thing.

Can't really single out one book as the best I've read.

But many come close:

- Code Complete - 1st Edition. I have both Editions 1 and 2.
Edition 1 is very good and has a lot of stuff worth reading and practicing.

Kernighan and Pike's The Unix Programming Environment.

Kernighan and Ritchie's The C Programming Language.

Would have to think of other good ones, though there are sure to be some.
There is not so much problem of antibiotics overuse in poorer countries as there is a problem of antibiotics misuse. Where antibiotics are expensive people tend not to take them long enough so they fail to kill bacteria that were sligtly resistant to the antbiotic and this also contibutes toward increasing antibiotics resistance.

You could probably do a lot of good by requiring from the pharmaceutical companies that want to sell antibiotics on american market to ship half of their production to Russia and such for free. That would increase price of antibiotics for americans to prevent overuse and make them available in poor countries to prevent misuse.
Well it should be dead, but like COBOL it'll be around a long time simply because there are tons of expert Photoshop designers who are much more productive with that tool than raw html/css and need their designs converted. I'm working with one right now, don't see it going away anytime soon.
Once we've chosen to subsidize health care, then everyone has a financial interest in everyone else's behavior. I agree that it's a vile situation, but I tend to think it's a reason to avoid government-subsidized health care in the first place. Once we've got it, ignoring the financial consequences is just stupid.
A virus is 30nm? Good lord. The minimum feature size of commercial transistors is half that right now.
My ISP, WOW!/WideOpenWest, isn't even there despite having a decent penetration. They are also great customer service-wise, etc. Oh well.
You're treating employees as though they had the same tenure requirements as founders did. They just don't. If an employee starts a job at market salary, 18 months later the company dies, so they start another one at market salary, then the same thing happens, so they start another one, and yet again the same exact thing happens, so they start a fourth job, and that's the one they can stay at for several years..... then they've received substantially the same number of paychecks as if they had stayed at the first company for 6 years. It just doesn't matter that they had to change jobs a few times.

If a Founder is working for equity in a company for 18 months and it dies, it's an absolute personal disaster. There's no way to repeat that four times in a row and remain solvent and sane.

This simple example shows the fact that really it doesn't matter whether a company really guarantees an employee a paycheck or not. If it has enough money to pay you for a few months, you're good to start.
Open Letter to Taylor Otwell about Laravel LTS
I too would have dismissed many things, that I know today as conspiracy bullshit. The point is, that we were educated (or should I say brainwashed) for centuries in a special way. But today I see, that it was a cover-up.

I too was convinced, that the west is so much better than say China or Russia ... Today I still don't like China and Russia, but things have changed ....
It might not be incentive, but it might make people more careful not to provide stupid answers... because we're connected by one degree.

I hope that the quality improves over time and through feature improvements/additions. There seems to be an addictive/sticky aspect to the app and there might even be a community formed through it. I'm interested to see where it goes.

dealing with build, dealing with continuous integration, continuous deployment, source control, etc.

It's not like build systems and source control were invented after 2000. Or basic CI/CD practices for that matter (though perhaps not as automated as today).

However, in the case of build systems, they have been reinvented a dozen times annually since then (mostly make clones).
Even though I know python fairly decently, I found working on Project Euler problems improved my Python skills a lot - in particular, I had not had much awareness, nor need for the 'yield' command, but I ended up using it a lot on PE problems.
Come on, now you're taking semantic quibbling to farcical levels. Yes it is true that a thermostat is not a timer, nobody claimed that. What it (in it simplest form) does is turn on the burner until the set temperature has been reached.

My point was, for any reasonable, non-autistic reader, it was perfectly clear that the GP knows how a thermostat works and that his point was that many people think the thermostat changes the temperature that the burner generates, or at least whatever is output by that burner/installation (be it water or air). Now I don't have an opinion on that matter, but I'm annoyed by your littering of the conversation over a slight sloppiness in expression in a context that doesn't call for the level of correctness you, from your high horse, are calling for.
They are the same thing. The exact same thing. All you're quibbling about is that you don't like where the pricing is set for the region in which you live.

The way my previous employers have handled it

* Holidays are the same (don't come into work!). Depending on the company it could be either paid or unpaid, but it's generally the same for everyone.

* Vacation is accrued based on the hours you work. Exempt employees generally have N days, and non-exempt would accrue N days if they worked 40 hours a week. Most of the time you have to work at least a year to get the days.

* Free meals are the same. Whoever is there gets the free food. If your part timers aren't there for the free lunch, oh well. Note - if you have contractors, I think giving them free food could potentially cross the line into them being an employee. My previous employer was always very careful never to give contractors freebies, not even free soda.
that's more holes than swiss cheese has... i can't name any other software that fixes this many remote exploits in a single release...
In some places they are also food.

About as different as the standard CPU/GPU combo is from Cell.

This is literally a CPU, with a GPU, with a cache coherent memory bus.

The Cell on the other hand is a PowerPC unit, mated with a few Vector FPU units, with no direct memory access. Then a seperate MMU is setup that's able to handle DMA copy's for everything.
I used to be really scared when i had to give "important" talks, especially in English which isn't my native language. I was so anxious that I couldn't even work the days before. I remember my first professional talk. My mouth was so dry that talking was difficult. (tip to beginners: take a bottle of water).

Interestingly, I had much less problems when I was presenting somebody else's work.

The thing that really helped me was benzodiazepines (e.g. Xanax). I took them a few days before until the day of the talk and I felt much much better. I know these drugs get a bad press, but in my case, they really helped. The side effets is that they tend to make you sleepy, but it didn't really affected me.

Now, I'm certainly not a great speaker, but I don't have any problems with public speaking.
Protecting sunk costs is only a fallacy if the money was entirely wasted.

If you spent money on something and that something isn't worth what you put into it but still is worth a lot, you want to protect that investment.

As far as incremental improvements go, rewriting some part in another language seem pretty bad. I mean, if you are being incremental, then you have to make changes that might interrupted in the middle and then you'd be saddling the system with two different languages.

You could just easily rewrite the worst parts to conform whatever existing or new standard you have. I'm not fan of Perl but I'm pretty sure you could at least create a subset that would conform standard object-oriented practices and not have the problem of now having a system written in two different languages.
Blogger Reveals Cracks In Codes Onscreen [NPR interview w/ jgrahamc]
"someone comes in and does it 10x better"

"That was the rule of thumb I heard quoted in Business Studies, too."

I've never heard of the 10x better statement from any of my academic business studies. The only golden rule seems to be that you can't compete with an incumbent with "As Good". That is you can't create a soft drink as good as "Coke" and expect to do any serious damage. "As Good" is not compelling enough for most consumers to switch.

However, if you can make it "As Good" but cheaper, then you have a very good chance of unseating the incumbent. In the case of Dropbox, Google drive and other similar services, they are as "As Good" but they really don't offer anything different from one another. Note, I don't know what the paid plans are for all these services, but from the "FREE" users perspective, there really isn't anything separating them. And this is where Dropbox has the advantage since they were the first movers.
I seem to recall that Windows 2000 had large releases to patch remotely exploitable bugs, but that was a whole other era in the field of security.
Could This App Replace Commenting On Mobile Devices?
Things that help me with public speaking when I don't wanna:

1) Extra sleep (a nap an hour before the speaking opportunity kicks in just like medication)

2) Extra preparation (50% more material than I can address in the time allotted)

3) A conversation about any nervousness with my wife (but any close friend ought to work)

4) Calming music just before the event.

(BTW, all of the above would even apply to a simple bike ride, for someone with real social anxiety)

My dad used to give public speeches about two to three times each month. People were continually inviting him to speak more about his areas of interest. I asked him how he got over his nervousness. He said that the best way is to get yourself in a position where you have to get up and do it over and over again. That made me laugh. If you have to start in front of a class rather than a "real" audience, maybe that's more comfortable, but either way you've got to accumulate the experience.
Probably. I can only cop to having read about it some. One of the big goals is to increase the fat content of the meat.
You can certainly argue that the extra experience you have from previous work makes up for that relative to a replacement candidate who can work for a ramen salary. I'm not completely convinced that's true in the general case

That's really the question. Is experience in industry worth anything in the case of a startup founder? You're saying you don't think so which obviously means it's a "worse" deal for investors.

An engineer with experience can earn a lot more annually in industry, so if they are given equal salary at a startup to somebody with no experience, what's happening is that they are being required to take on even more opportunity cost.

I think the bottom line is that a 20 something with a small pool of experience fits a very cookie cutter scenario that makes it an easy risk calculation for the investor. To say a deal is "better" or "worse" compared to an experienced founder who requires a larger salary is really impossible to calculate.

I'm really having a hard time with this product. It's basically taking something that exists for free...a library...and repackaging it as an app.

Now don't get me wrong I admire a nicely designed product just as much as the next person but how is this worth $10 alone?

I can literally subscribe to an RSS feed that gives me free ebooks daily[1]. Granted they aren't always the best reads but they are free. Aside from that I can go to the local library and checkout any physical book I want for free.

I think a much better product would be monthly unlimited audio books. Like spotify combined with audible. Now that I would pay for.

I haven't worked on a big project without version control, and I don't see it as a substitute for an actual specification. I have also not see complete explanations of patches be explained in detail enough to substitute for a spec.
That's not a bad idea at all. I'm not sure what part of the world you're in, but it seems like recruiters exist in most countries and they definitely dominate jobs boards these days (from what I've seen).

I personally don't think it would work as a service on its own, but may be better as a piece of something bigger.
