I'm very sorry about these issues, and appreciate the vote of confidence. Looking back at the state of our fraud controls in July 2012, we've definitely come a long way. We're currently testing a revamped set of fraud prevention controls (in private beta) and they have been extremely effective for some of our largest users.

I always like this blog post about quantity vs quality.

http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2008/08/quantity-always-tru...

Doing a lot of code over the years on bigger and more widely varied projects, you learn to the value of better coding practices and readability, which is on top of a lot of skill doing many different things.

The main thing is your a beginner, don't bog yourself down on stuff you shouldn't do, unless you really have to. Work on getting things working the way you want and revisit them on how to make them better.

Well, most of those really conflate two things: static heterogeneous "maps", and dynamic homogeneous maps. The former being a structure whose keys are known at compile time (static) and whose values may be of different types (heterogeneous); the latter being a structure whose keys are not known until run time (dynamic) and whose values must all be of the same type (homogeneous).

Most languages conflate these, because they kind of look the same, but they are entirely different use cases, with different use patterns, permit different optimizations, and their generalization (a dynamic heterogenous structure) is pretty useless.

The relational model [1], which has been around since 1969, does distinguish these. The static heterogeneous structure is called a "tuple", and the dynamic homogeneous structure is called a "relation".

If only language designers would stop conflating the implementation of these structures with how they are used, we could drop the cringeworthy names "associative array" and "hash", stop calling tuples "maps" (which is a specific kind of relation), and stop calling relations "tables" (which are two-dimensional arrays, which are another kind of relation).

Erlang at least as of R17 has mostly kept this distinction (Erlang maps mostly support the static heterogeneous use case). However the majority of users are keen to jump on the "maps" bandwagon as a way to get syntax support for dynamic homogeneous use (which makes utterly no sense to me, as most of the syntax is for pattern matching and construction, which makes little sense in the dynamic case!). I am glad R17 does not include many of the proposals for such syntax that I've seen on the mailing list; and instead sticks closely to the original static heterogeneous design proposed by Richard O'Keefe.

EventMobi - Toronto, ON (Full Time, Intern) - http://www.eventmobi.com/careers

-----------------------------------------

We at EventMobi develop a suite of platforms to help events & conferences create their own mobile apps, event registration, and more to manage their events more easily.

We’re not your typical startup, we’re completely self-funded with a team of 35 in Toronto and Berlin and yet with no outside capital we’re massively profitable and on an incredible growth path with companies like Intel, Disney and the Internation Olympics Committe using us for their mobile event app needs.

We use a distributed SOA architecture exposed through a (Python) RESTful API to feed our Node & AngularJS applications – from our mobile apps, to the app-building services, real-time chat / mapping services and tons more.

In the past year we’ve more than tripled our growth & our software now services 3000+ events and millions of users worldwide. We’re expecting that growth to continue again (while still being bootstrapped with no funding) and if you are interested in helping us scale, and meet the next set of challenges, let’s chat!

We're a very fast-paced company, and we need energetic, creative individuals looking for an opportunity to grow with a young startup, get your hands dirty, and provide your insight in all aspects of cloud services, mobile and web development, and help with every aspect of a startups’ technology infrastructure.

the reason it's in OP's list is that that's just what Perl calls associative arrays. (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Perl_Programming/Hash_Variables)

Hence it's literally the exact same thing as a dictionary, but is named a hash in Perl.
This seems like a really excellent move. Even if I didn't need to or plan to use the childcare service, knowing that a conference offered it would still be awesome.

A lesson in passwords or a lesson in downloading/pirating apps from dubious sources.

Official app stores have a hard enough time keeping their inventory clean from fake apps and malware, what makes you think TPB is somehow not full of fakes and malware?

Seems to me if they tell you you can do something with their product, you aren't pirating. You're following their instructions, though I'm no lawyer.
If they have key logging on your machine Google 2-factor authentication is the only thing that would save you. This to me is the most important security precaution you can take, the next being auto generated passwords with PasswordSafe or something similar. Good luck=).

SEEKING WORK - Remote only. (Based in Tel-Aviv.)

My name is Ram Rachum, and I’m a freelance software developer. I help businesses solve their problems using software, mostly by developing web-based applications. I work mainly in Python and Django.

On the technical level, it’s my responsibility to have high problem-solving skills; to design a good architecture for each project I work on; to implement that architecture quickly and effectively; and to be experienced with the languages and frameworks that I’m using, so when a problem comes up, I don’t have to spend 2 hours to research and solve it but rather just 5 minutes, because I’ve seen that problem dozen of times before.

On the project-management level, it’s my responsibility to communicate clearly and honestly with the client and my collaborators on the project; to understand exactly what the client wants to build as we plan together how to build it; to always keep the client updated about progress; to have an owner mentality and make decisions with the best interest of the client in mind; to own up to mistakes when they happen; and to always get feedback as early as possible from the client and from the users, so we know we’re not wasting time going into blind alleys, and we’re spending time only on features that the users are happy with. My email is ram@rachum.com . Send me an email and say hello.

More details about me: http://ram.rachum.com/cv/
wow, quit your bellyaching and borrow an external cd-rom. Or, buy one for $30 (or less?). I don't know how you value your time, but surely $30 is worth it for the amount of time you've spent thinking about this, writing about it, on the phone, and now responding to people about it.

I don't like IAPs but this blog post's argument misses a really big key point. To do a fair comparison between a real game such as Dungeon Keeper and its IAP version, you can't quote the GOG price for the real game. That's the price that arrived years after the game was fresh with healthy sales and years after the game already recouped all of its costs.

The price they should have quoted for the original Dungeon Keeper game is $49.99.
Casinos fail all the time because they as everyone else have fixed cost, and in the Las Vegas style casinos especially because they are not just casinos but massive hotels or resorts where the fixed costs are absolutely huge. There's certainly lots of room for innovation in that area, and in attracting gamblers.

Casinos don't generally fail because they don't know how to tweak the odds.

I think you and girvo are talking about different things.
This is Adobe lining themselves up for someone to do to them what they did to Quark. And by the same mechanism: utter contempt for the customer.
I grew up in New Zealand in the 80s. Bullrush, 3-story high flying foxes on school property, huge trees, open farmland, unsupervised cross-country runs: no adults around were par for the course except if someone broke a bone (which I remember happening in my community twice in 10 years) and we managed ourselves. We like to think we're a good outdoor lot of people and many of us adults have been horrified to think our kids can't grow up like we did.

What I saw in this video was like looking back 30 years and it made me happy. You're underestimating our kids to think we can't let them loose for a good game of bullrush and they are more aware that they are being watched than actually just playing the rules of the game. Also remember that Rugby is New Zealand's national sport and these kids grow up watching it and knowing the rules. I'd bet some of those kids end up in the All Blacks.
There is no standardization of titles. Any distinctions you try to establish will be wrong.
These are good. Guild Wars 2 is also worth a look. However, I am enjoying not having any in-game purchases and instead paying $14/month with FFXIV. It's much more relaxing to just pay your $14 (it's not that much, you can't even see a movie for that much anymore), you get the entire game, developers get paid, new content every 2-3 months, etc.

Lol. That's not a bad idea at all.
So you ding candidates for lacking an ability (carrying a time-bounded conversation with a stranger who is judging them for a new job) that has nothing whatsoever to do with what they'll actually be doing on the job, and this is something you're happy to tell us?

Job interviews are hostile. In fact, they're one of the most hostile experiences most of us have to deal with. I watch candidates in face-to-face interviews very carefully now, because this is a problem I am studying, and when you stop and consider candidates not as gamepieces but instead as human beings, you'll be amazed at what you notice. For instance, a majority of the candidates I've sat down with in interviews have, subtly but noticeably, been physically shaking.

Job interviews are like a game of Jeopardy! where one of the players is being filmed and broadcast on live television and the other player is playing from their couch and has been given an answer book, and the poor televised shmoe is judged on the same curve as the person on the couch.

But the notion of having them in your terminal on a new tab or window is perfect for me.

WorkMeIn - Nashville, TN (http://workmein.com)

We got rejected from YC. But by Q4 our software will be facilitating patient referrals for 200+ hospitals (seriously)

Come be the first hire - a full stack engineer who might take on the role of CTO as the company grows. We use a fairly standard Rails stack (rails, postgres, redis, capistrano, git, ec2, etc.) plus some other cool things like Mirth Connect.

---

Why is WorkMeIn a great place to work?

If you're interested in, or have experience in healthcare, WorkMeIn is the place to be. We share a top floor office (sweet pic: http://imgur.com/ag8yiza) in downtown Nashville with an $800MM VC fund headed by the former CEO of Vanderbilt Medical. Come work with us, and the former Vanderbilt Medical CIO will knuckle bump you every day (again, seriously).

We are well funded, already profitable (not just the ramen kind either), and have large enterprise customers.

--

WorkMeIn's goal is to dramatically increase the efficiency of care coordination between healthcare providers. Our software increases the efficiency of primary care physicians, provides specialist physicians with a better patient mix, and allows insurance companies and healthcare systems to help ensure patients stay in network. As a result, patients get higher quality, more affordable, more appropriate care with better outcomes.

I would love to hear from you whether you're interested in joining us (awesome!) or just want to chat. Shoot me a message at jon@workmein.com or @jongautsch

Seeking fellow developer to help build the Google Maps of history

I’m working on a project, similar to OpenStreetMap or Wikipedia, with the goal of mapping the world throughout history (and seeing maps change over time). Getting to this point requires building a crowdsourcing community around historic map data.

I’m looking for other talented hackers to work with, preferably with experience in Javascript/Node. More importantly others who are interested in history/mapping and in solving challenging problems.
