Tough question to answer without knowing more about you.

Graduating high school and going directly into industry will give you some real world experience. Professional development is very different from hobby development. Professional development means accepting projects and technologies that may be of no interest to you but the company needs them. If you're doing in-house IT development, you may spend a large part of your time doing systems analysis, operations, and support work. Your employer isn't truly concerned about your trying new technologies; it wants people who support its own technologies and that's where you'll be focused.

Gauging your interest in these compromises, before committing 4 years and $75K for example, will save you a lot of frustration later on.

Depending on your employer, you may be able to get the company to foot some of the bill if you decide to go the college route later.

On the other hand, college has several positive sides. You get to experiment and fail with little consequence. (Largely, the ability to fail and learn has been driven out of the office place since I started 23 years ago.) You get to network with others around your age who have an interest in the field. You can study other subjects that may/may not help you in the field but they interest you anyway. Lastly, you have the degree to build on in case you want to do more advanced study later in life.

My caution is not to make your decision based on fear. You will do well either way so long as you work hard and stay curious. Just be aware of the trade offs.

Good luck.
The beauty of Tarsnap is to provide a tar-like command-line tool. Here, while the later goal is to provide storage in a more generally accessible way, the beauty is to use scp as-is, which you already have (if you're a developer).

A client-side encryption tool could be implemented and use any scp accessible hosts, but that would not be really a Tarsnap equivalent: there is still the problem of avoiding redundant storage and traffic. Bup could be a solution here.

college is about more than money. state colleges will be a better value. community colleges will save you money for the first 2 years. The classes might not even teach you relevant languages and such. A friend needed to take an extra class in .net at a local community college after graduating from OSU. you could also look at doing both, pay for college with moderately well paying job.

It's also a little strange to talk about "reach," which is a hypothetical concept, and not actual market share. When the DoJ considers antitrust legislation against a putative monopolist, it usually looks at the market share of the entity in question.

Comcast will exploit this to the hilt, of course. There are a lot of "technical" grounds on which Comcast is not a monopolist, and it will argue those grounds aggressively if investigated.

We currently use a mix of Akamai (100TB/month commit, static assets), Cloudfront (serves a static JS site out of S3, 10-50GB/month of usage), and Cloudflare (caches JSON get requests from an Elastic Beanstalk REST API). I've found Cloudfront to be faster than Akamai (although a bit pricier unless you're committing to 10TB+/month from a specific region), and Cloudflare to be faster than both (although with Cloudflare I can't invalidate individual files/URI paths, just the whole site, which I can live with).
And how does massive social change come about? Via organized campaigns. Which have leaders. Who become the new rulers if they succeed.

In the last century the Chinese and Russians collectively agreed to give up concepts of property and privilege for the betterment of all. Except, some of them only pretended to do that. So they ended up with everyone else's property and privilege.

It's not hard to convince every single person that they should not be ruled. It's impossible to convince every single person that they should not rule. There's always someone who thinks they could do it better if they were in charge.
Seems nice! How do you set up a custom domain name for it?

Something like this?

mime_type: text/html

upload: static/index.html

Anything you don't want to go to index.html you can just put before that handler since it processes the app.yaml from top to bottom and stops at the first match.
"Now having a night, a day, and still another night following before me in New Bedford, ere I could embark for my destined port, it became a matter of concernment where I was to eat and sleep meanwhile. It was a very dubious-looking, nay, a very dark and dismal night, bitingly cold and cheerless. I knew no one in the place. With anxious grapnels I had sounded my pocket, and only brought up a few pieces of silver,—So, wherever you go, Ishmael, said I to myself, as I stood in the middle of a dreary street shouldering my bag, and comparing the gloom towards the north with the darkness towards the south—wherever in your wisdom you may conclude to lodge for the night, my dear Ishmael, be sure to inquire the price, and don't be too particular."

Or perhaps more appropriately:

"The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Modern life would be very tedious if it were either, and modern literature a complete impossibility!"
A useless word I see used often is "just" as in "you just do" or "i just need". For me, it implies triviality or adds nothing.
That would be similar. Indeed the redundant backend can be implemented in various ways. Now I would really like to experiment with Bup to provide historization in addition to deduplication (again this could be implemented with some underlying file systems, but I really like Git/Bup).

Unfortunately that happens all the time... But it doesn't justify the fact that they did NOTHING to fix the issue.

I don't know about Erlang, but a lot of J2EE deployments are on Windows servers. It would make some sense even if the goal was to sell Windows servers.

Everyone I know for the most part types their documents in Microsoft Word on Windows computers. Sure, they got smartphones and tablets for the media consumption and facebook, but they don't even know an alternative "big boy" OS exists. They think Windows == computers.

Also consider checking out products with Erythritol (eg Sobe Zero):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythritol

"Erythritol has been certified as tooth-friendly. The sugar alcohol cannot be metabolized by oral bacteria, so does not contribute to tooth decay. Erythritol exhibits some, but not all, of xylitol's tendency to "starve" harmful bacteria. Unlike xylitol, erythritol is actually absorbed into the bloodstream after consumption but before excretion. However, it is not clear at present if the effect of starving harmful bacteria occurs systemically."

When learning a new language it is often difficult to master the little details. Swap out 'has' with 'have', 'its' with 'their', 'other' with 'others' and it changes to:

"All the services have their advantages and disadvantages over others"

Each of these differences may appear significant to a native speaker, but the basic meaning of each word is almost the same.
Municipal exclusivity is only the tip of the iceberg. Here in NYC FiOS is everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Verizon dug up the streets, and Time Warner gave kickbacks to landlords and supers to deny Verizon access to the buildings themselves.

Monopolists can and do arise with or without the assistance of government. As long as someone has authority over a resource and is amenable to being bought.
Yes and at least the article makes it pretty clear just how complicated and subtle the issues are.
Hacking Google Analytics: How I created a 30-day rolling report
It's not a perfect book, but there's definitely much more to it than just "Follow these three steps to draw exactly this cartoon animal in this exact pose". The very first exercise is to take an actual egg, draw construction lines and a face on it, and then to study it and draw it from every angle.
That is just completely absurd. How would I even say that without using "is"? That .. is, no .. Complete absurdity is , no.. Complete absurdity dwells in that concept? That sounds like I'm trying to write some kind of poetry. The verb "to be" is one of the most important verbs of the entire language. Of any language, even in cases like Latin where it's not said but implied to be there. It is a fundamental tool of communication to equate the existential states of different concepts with the verb "to be". These writings must have sounded awful. No real writing ever avoids the use of "to be". Being is too important of a concept. Cogito ergo sum, as is said. Existential qualification is too important to throw away.
The concerning part of this deal isn't ad reach or who has "access" to certain markets.

TV is a luxury, and simply functions as entertainment for the vast majority of Americans. More and more people are "cutting cable" than ever, deciding that they'll find their entertainment somewhere else.

The concerning part is high-speed internet, which is coming close to a necessity for many people to live and work, and it will only progressively become more-so. Comcast is my only option for high-speed internet, and they charge me too much for speeds that are too slow, but I have to pay it.

If you can make something of your own volition without any violent coercion, and I can voluntarily exchange with you for it, then that is a pretty free transaction.

I guess that means there aren't any free markets, since you are at least being violently taxed, and are probably violently forced to comply with regulation unless your implicit production process doesn't violate any such laws, which is unlikely.

exicting to use this application on Windows. Sound really great to test the performence.
I'm fairly ignorant of the details of static analysis, but why is it being done on programs written in C?

Shouldn't they use languages specially suited for this kind of analysis?

I remember learning that stateless programing (ie. functional programming) makes this kind of analysis several orders of magnitude easier since it eliminates coupling and control flow dependence. Yet I've never heard of critical software being written in Haskell or whatever.
Optimizing and experimenting on your hiring and firing practices is very important. Have fun. Also, do read the book and do take the example from Steve Jobs. Distort the reality. Lie to your employees and partners creatively. Be free.
I believe Comcast can only service 30% of households in the US by FCC mandate. As part of this deal it's likely they are going to have to sell off some regions. Not have access to 70% of the US.
This feature is a code snippet search tool, so proper type context shouldn't matter.

I could even see it being used to search for CSS framework usage examples.
I have done a lot of Java, Scala, etc. IntelliJ & Eclipse are both wonderful IDEs in their own right. A lot of things like ReSharper were in those IDEs before Jetbrains (maker of IntelliJ) made the plugin for VS.

After trying VS for a couple of projects I found it completely baffling and backwards.

And I don't think this is because VS is bad, but because the way I approach software is completely different. I want to be able to compile things from the command-line first and use the IDE to edit the code. The way this happens makes it much harder to use other tools I like such as Jenkins. I can't ssh to a windows server.

On the other hand I can see where somebody might be frustrated that they' can't remote desktop into a linux server or had to learn a new config language instead of having a GUI.

IIS is another beast altogether. I've had to help customers set up their servers and the instructions are a set of screenshots that are hard to follow and easy to skip. Most apache/nginx configs clients can copy/paste fragments into their configs to get things working.

I could have 1000's linux servers up by lunch, but it would probably take me all day to configure one windows server. You probably have a better solution for this, but I've not come across it.

For me VS C# probably wouldn't be too bad if it didn't require running windows.
Why do you think the market is wrong on this one?

Personally, it's because Microsoft development locks you in, and costs a lot of money. The OS costs money, the server OS costs money, the database costs money, the IDE costs money, everything costs money, and you have to use it, for the life of your app.

To many young developers these days, and IIS server is the thing your company keeps in the closet to some sluggish legacy monstrosity which has been replaced for years with a better open source solution, but can't be put out of it's misery because it still holds some data that might be useful sometime.

Is any of this true? I have no idea. I'm just letting you know the rap it has, and the perceived reasons for that rap.
The secret to hitting startup gold twice
What's the difference between a build tool and a task runner?
I think the trouble comes in that 3/4 or more of Grunt plugins are things that really have very little reason to be plugins in the first place. Given how flexible node really is, and how npm tasks work, I'm more an more inclined to simply having a ./scripts/ directory with a file per task registered in package.json, so I can simply `npm run taskname` and have it correlate to `./scripts/taskname.js|coffee` ...

With node.js as a host environment, it's easy enough to do pretty much whatever you want as a script/task, and is pretty much cross platform, and works well. Shell scripts come close, but ignore the elephant in the room (Windows).

For the record, I'm biased as all hell, like node.js and JavaScript in general.
Nice idea.

I have a few questions.

1. Do you have plans to integrate other payment gateways so that a business can get a summary view?

2. What does this provide over and above what Stripe provides? I'm sure their is more, but a quick summary would be helpful.

Anyway, nice product.
If you want to get around the debt, go to a university in Europe. It will require a lot of planning and you should make sure you are up for the culture shock, but you will get a degree without ruining yourself.

Cost of living remains, of course, but University attendance in many non-English speaking countries is (practically) free of charge, even for non-Schengeners.

Here is a list of countries that, to my impression, seems fairly accurate:

Really exicting to use this application on Windows. Sound really great to test the performence.

This is IMO a cop out. The nature of the App Store is such that anything ranked low is never downloaded. A moderation system that drops the ranking of an app is functionally the same as not allowing it in the first place.

The only difference is that rank-dropping lets us pat ourselves on the back for how fair and open we're being when in fact we haven't really made a difference.
I think the irksome point of grunt is simply that you tend to have many temporary directories for various states of files... especially if you use CoffeeScript or other intermediate languages, not to mention merge/minify actions and their temporary spaces.
I just tried putting "site:github.com How to compute MD5, C++" into Google, and it seems to work.

As you mention, GitHub doesn't fare that well: "We couldn't find any repositories matching 'How to compute MD5, C++'"
does this mean that time flows significantly faster on the outside of the pulsar then on the inside, if so does this significantly impact the pulsar dynamics?
Useful programming interview q&a
Visual Studio could be so much more for Microsoft. Why do they need a phone? Let them make Visual Studio cross platform and developers would come back to Windows as their base platform. All other IDE's pale in comparison. Too bad that advantage is being wasted as far as new developers go.
That is not the case for fiber.

We -Norway, a country of 6 million people spread out- have multiple companies competing in all parts of the country. Fiber companies compete in the larger cities, and even in the smaller towns we are starting to see more and more fiber competition.

I have a hard time believing the U.S. offers less grounds for competition, that's a ridiculous proposal at best. When we can do it, you can.

Your problem is rampant corruption. I wish I could, as a foreigner, ignore it, but what happens across the Atlantic has a tendency of spreading here.
> It's quite huge - around 1500 companies with a lot of R&D labs.

Actually, that might be what's needed. Historically, many of the Silicon Valley successes have been started by engineers leaving an established company to work on their own ideas (example: Intel), not necessarily by young people starting from scratch.
I think it's less about not wanting to use Visual Studio and more about not wanting to have a Windows VM thrashing resources. I've worked with teams that have migrated to ServiceStack just to avoid running Windows.

Assuming that running Windows is a non-issue, the parts that really, really bug me are:

- Background operations suddenly become foreground operations that stall the IDE with a dialog saying "A background operation is taking too long."
- Misclicks spinning off long background tasks that stall the IDE.
- Automatic refactoring/code analysis that will stall the IDE.
- Incredibly aggressive automatic reformatting.
- The Microsoft Account agenda. VS2013 wants me to sign-in with my Microsoft account on so many different occasions: settings sync, Azure, Windows Developer account registration, auth refresh, etc... which wouldn't be so bad, but I'm signed in via Windows 8 already, adding insult to injury.
Entire /8s wouldn't last a single month at current demand (and demand is only going to continue to increase), while consolidating usage to free up the /8 would take many times that long.

It's simply not worth the time and cost for such a short-lived bandaid.
Tasks are a more general concept; one of the many possible tasks you could program would be to build your project.
Honestly this is cringeworthy, but that's just me being honest. I wish you the best!
Yeah, that must have been the reason Xerox chose that pointing direction and that Apple copied it: Redmond is exactly North-West from Palo Alto and Cupertino (clearly, Apple didn't do maps yet in 1984)

One thing to be careful of when hiring is treating equity as a replacement for salary. I've had a few offers in the last year where they offered me X amount of money and Y amount of equity, and then got pissed off when I turned down the salary. One guy even told me I was an idiot for disregarding equity. But the truth of the matter is that, like this article says, you could fire me in a month, and in the mean time, I've taken a significant pay cut in favor of equity that will never pay out.

And even if I do wind up working for you for a year, your equity is worth $0 (regardless of your company's valuation) until you get acquired or otherwise exit. You can sit there and tell me your company is worth $1B, but your equity is worth $0 until you can actually pay out on the stock.

I understand that founders have to work under the assumption that equity is money, but your salaried employees do not.

Anyway, just wanted to mention that. Like codex said, you have to find someone good but also naive -- good enough to do a good job, but naive enough to accept that low salary in favor of equity and the risk that goes with that.

For a very experienced senior developer, that's generally not going to be enough, unless they're founder-level or really, really, really, really, really, really believe in the company. Or if they hate their current job enough.
Sorry, I updated my comment.

I also should have mentioned Mono, but that's a different topic.
