To use scp instead of a custom protocol (or even HTTP) is the neat thing here. The possibilities are infinite.

Also, this makes me think about what today's services that run on HTTP could run on top of basic Unix tools (like scp) instead of building their own infrastructure on top of HTTP or something else (I couldn't think of any, though, so I'm probably wrong in thinking this).

It's in no way in a worse place than, say, java. It would be nice if the CLR and Roslyn was open sourced, but I wouldn't make it a primary concern when choosing a platform for a project. The ecma standardization feels at least as important.
I like the Broccoli name quite a bit (and the whole concept and implementation - great job Jo!), but I also prefer `Brocfile` to `Broccolifile`. Does that make me a broccoliphile against broccolifiles?
There's nothing US-centric about what you quoted; the 3x$60k figure (and it could end up being 5x) comes from the opportunity cost of going to school instead of working. That can be lessened with part time work and full-time during summers, but it's still there.

I completely agree that ignorance and laziness are much more representative of humane behavior than deceit and evil. And I believe it is just good practice to always assume the best intentions in others for your own peace and happiness.

I created a card game (Ambition) to unify the German aesthetic and the trick-taking genre, which turned out to be hard to do. The problem is that it still has too much luck (dealt hands) to appeal to the German-style crowd, but it's too complex for the people who enjoy card games for simplicity [0] (e.g. Hearts, Poker). So it's kinda "between worlds". I feel like Catan might suffer that if it came out today, even though it's a great game in its own right.

I like German games a lot but I'm not a fan of the "if it has dice or cards, it's not worth playing" mentality that I sometimes see. Games have a variety of social purposes. Sometimes I want to play something like Cards Against Humanity and sometimes I want to play Tigris and Euphrates. Ain't nothing wrong with that. (I do get annoyed with the people who only want to play Texas Hold 'em, though.)

[0]: I don't mean to imply that these games are without depth. It's just that the rules are simple, and the complexity comes more from the players.

Hey,

Thanks a bunch man, I hope Google can see how much this means to me. Best to you too.
I used to have the "trial period" mentality even though I didn't have an answer for the "that's starting out on the wrong foot" skepticism.

But recently, a smarter-than-me CEO shared his hiring practice and he has won me over. He proposes: hire the candidate as a full-time employee and offer the candidate the salary/equity package as if the candidate has achieved his full potential. Then, if the candidate works out as expected, then everything is well. But on the other hand, if the new hire turns out to be sub-par, it would be a lot easier for you to let him or her go. Because it'll simply be too expansive to keep a sub-par employee around at the compensation package you offered.

I think this is a great implementation of the hire fast and fire fast philosophy.
Why 2014 will be the year of online grocery
The withdrawals will be supposedly enabled after the 20th with limits! They are clearly insolvent and I hope to see Mark Karpeles and Roger Ver in jail sool! "The Bitcoin Satan" (i.e. Roger Ver) is actually soliciting people on Bitcoin Forums to buy their coins and dollars at Mt.Gox at a discounted rate, i.e. they are trying with Mark to steal coins from customers and cover up the loss from theft that's most probably have happened. This clearly proves that Bitcoin and especially exchanges should be heavily regulated. People have lots millions of dollars due to the games Mt.Gox is playing with them - in a normal market, they would be jailed and jailed hard. Similar story with BitSpend, all the Bitcoin gambling sites, honest Ponzi sites like (ponzi.io), and similar - there are horror stories over at Reddit and Bitcoin Forums of people losing their last penny trying to recover from the price drop by gambling. I am sorry, but Bitcoin really is a criminals' sandbox recently! It's a good piece of technology in the wrong hands!
Yes, I'm an American who worked on a startup in Berlin, with a similar and sad evaluation.

re: Easy access to funding
-- absolutely, I think it is the risk adversity that kills everything, esp. at the angel stage.

re: a bootstrap entrepreneurial culture
-- Most Europeans don't want to work long hours either and it's legally questionable to ask them to. that's a show stopper.

re: Building new stuff is actively discouraged here, nobody likes doing bold experiments: not customers, not investors, not even developers.
-- Sadly have to agree with you based on my experience in Berlin. Even downloading a new app on a phone is regarded with a good deal of suspicion.

re: spirit of creativity and experimentalism
-- I have a hard time knowing why this is, but I've written on it before. May interest you:

http://fractastical.com/2013/06/05/a-developers-introduction...

Overall, I also find that Europeans for the most part don't want to do billion dollar startups. They seem to think that there is something wrong with the large amounts of money involved, and saying that this is your goal is more likely to meet (in my experience) with criticism than encouragement.

This seems true across central Europe (France & Germany) while the big successes mostly come from foreigners (i.e. Skype, SAP).

But on the other hand, billion dollar startups create lots of fairly wealthy people that can then be angel investors and pump up the ecosystem. I don't see any other way for the system to evolve, but I was amazed by the degree to which there was a mental barrier against any sort of large scale success.
> I'm also quite worried about the debt load that a degree would require. I anticipate having to take out between $50,000 and $100,000 in loans to finance a degree.

That makes it sound like you are looking at a first tier state school. Have you considered looking into a top private school, like MIT, Stanford, Caltech, Princeton, Harvard, or similar? If you are from a middle class or below family, these schools will offer aid packages that cover most of your costs by grants rather than loans. Even if your family makes quite a bit more than middle class, you should be able to get out of those schools with well under $50k in debt.

I agree: there's no indication they had any problems serving their customers at any point, nor that they got crushed by hosting costs. I'd contend the "optimisation balance" was just about perfect.
It's almost as though they are a for profit company.
This looks like a solid project.

I want to mention mincer[1], which I have used in the past for compiling assets, and it has been an entirely painless process. Definitely take a look at it as an alternative, which has been around longer and has seen assistance from the folks behind sprockets[2] (according to the README) for creating a similar API.

Right, but that's just because Oracle has been such a shitty owner of Java. However, at least Java is supported by more than 1 company on more than 1 platform; C# doesn't offer any real advantages over Java (other than some cosmetic language features).
In this day and age, yes. At least if you want it to succeed. MSFT knows this, too - they open-sources TypeScript.

I'm curious if a lot of the customizations re:compression could be similarly achieved if the author used Google's modpagespeed for apache[0] or nginx[1], as it does a lot of these things automatically including eliding css/html attributes and generally re-arranging things for optimal sizes.

It could make writing for 4k less of a chore?

In any case, this is an outstanding hack. The company I work for has TLS certificates that are larger than the payload of his page. Absolutely terrific job, Daniel.

More then 201%
> I think it's a good idea for people to learn to construct simple 3d shapes before they tackle the complexities of human anatomy; it creates a framework for thinking about the drawing.

Yep, I absolutely agree. That's what I meant by saying that a foundational understanding is needed first.

I've seen parts of the book but have not read the entire thing. If he does have chapters on these foundational elements, then that's good and it's probably a better book than many others.
Catan is incredible to me. We picked it up in a thrift shop in a rural eastern Washington town, thinking it was some relic of the 70s (this was probably 1998 or something). We played it on family vacations and never thought about it outside of them. Then, all of a sudden, it exploded in popularity. Really cool story.

If you want mostly free hosting I built this a long time ago. http://www.cdninabox.com/ it mirrors any site with caching using Google Edge cache.

Because it will handle URL Re-Writes you can host on any host in a subdirectory and still have it be your root for the customer.

I mostly abandoned this when Google Launched "PageSpeed" for appengine which was too much a direct competitor. Also when they moved to AppsForDomains you could no longer have a naked domain, and that was annoying. I don't like www. having to be on the front of my URL.

another typo, $33,000 should be $333,000. also, you may want to find a value for unique visitors to Times Square every day. The first thing I thought about while reading was how many of those 10^6 people are commuters who would walk past the ad every day for 3 months. Not trying to nitpick, but I think looking into that could really show attention to detail.

it looks nice otherwise, definitely above the normal effort put into an intern application. best of luck!
Yes. In some ways I think we're still in a very primative kind of level for web development. Either you do it by hand, tweaking each individual parameter like the old demoscene, and making it fast and amazingly small, or else you write huge chunky slow web apps, or more usually, something in the middle.

I feel like the big thing I'm missing is smart compilers that can take web app concepts, and turn them into extremely optimsed 'raw' HTML/CSS/JS/SQL/backend. All of the current frameworks still use hand written frequently very bloated or inelegant hand written CSS & HTML, and still require thinking manually about how and when to do AJAX when it's least offensive to the user. Maybe something like yesod ( http://www.yesodweb.com/ ) or something like that is heading in the right direction. http://pyjs.org/ has some nice ideas too... But I'm thinking of something bigger than the individual technologies like coffeescript or LESS... Something that doesn't 'compile to JS', or 'compile to CSS', but 'compile to stack'. I dunno. Maybe I'm just rambling.
You might want to consider tweaking the font for the text on your images. It can be hard to read on some of the images. Maybe have the font be outlined with s thin black line or something.
We do agree with your comment. We've thought of trying to make a sort of wristwatch or something that can be pocketed easily.

Well said. This is the really interesting thing about BitCoin for me, making cryptocurrency work without regulation. I appreciate that folks are trying. It touches on the fundamental difference between so called 'legal tender' and markers for barter.
It's already happening. Most providers charge $1-2/month for every additional IPv4 address AND you have to justify why you need it. EC2's Elastic IP's also don't get added to EC2 instances automatically; you have to add them manually and newly opened accounts are limited to I believe 10 IPv4 addresses for all EC2 instances. That's what IPv4 exhaustion looks like today.

This has nothing to do with net neutrality. It's progress of technology. Your ISP doesn't give you IPX access do they? Instead this is a natural progression of technology. Want to use old tech? Pay a premium!
I received a formal art education, so my answer may be very biased, but I'd recommend starting with a fundamental drawing class. If you're in NY or SF, there's no shortage of them. If you're anywhere else, you may be able to find one at a library, college, school, or artist organization.

"Starving one farmer at a time" is evil but rational (and, it can be argued, is also done in some West-friendly countries). However, I very seriously doubt Kim Jong-Un would be able to "go out in a blaze of glory" in an apocalyptic scenario. Most likely, North Korea as a whole would act rationally and he would be taken out by a military junta before he destroys everything. No matter how evil he seems, he must have a rational entourage. Even Hitler had one. Stuff simply has to get done in NK; even if the only plan is "blackmail other countries to give us money", do you not see that's a perfectly rational plan?

As for Iran, I understood you were talking about their government. Nothing I've heard of them so far strikes me as irrational -- just hostile to some Western powers.

We must stop confusing "hostile" with "irrational", that's all I'm saying.
Bravo, you've somehow made Monopoly seem even more complex. You should run with this and design a board around it.
That article says that Stuart McArthur on Jan. 26, 1979!
You are quite right, did not notice that before.
All in all this article seems to defend the deal more than anything. Regardless of your beliefs on monopolies/regulation/whatever, it seems particularly silly and irrelevant to use potential reach as a marker of anything. 0% of Americans are "out of Apple's Reach", so what? That has nothing to do with monopolies. You can have 99% of Americans outside your reach and still be a monopoly in your area. You can have 0% of Americans Out of your reach and be in a highly competitive space. The article seems to kind of point this out by showing that its still the case that only 9% of Americans "wouldn't have a choice". The actual interesting question is how that compares to today. From what I've read there wasn't much overlap so its theoretically not much different.
Xamarin is one of the biggest backers of C#/.NET, and the reason .NET is probably the simplest way to create a 3-platform smartphone application today. You can even use F# for that which is even nicer than C# and open source. So the ecosystem has a few open source languages and several backing companies.

No, the questions are not just rhetorical
and, instead, are fully real for me.

Yes, so far, at least for my version 1.0
live site (soon, soon, soon!), it seems
to me that my simple HTML and CSS without
any JavaScript from me will provide a good
enough 'user interface' with a good enough
'user experience'. One advantage of my
approach: It's dirt simple for the user.

Yes, the user interface of Google Maps
is astounding, but I did have to download
and enable a Firefox plug-in. I recently
used Google Maps to find the house I
grew up in, the house of my high school
girlfriend, the house of my wife's family,
my current house, etc. Amazing work.
My Web site needs nothing like that.

So, my site has nothing that pops up,
pulls down, or jumps around.

The Google home page was long very simple --
just type into a 'text box' and hit enter
and get back some pages of links with
some short descriptions. Now, of course,
apparently each keystroke into the text
box goes back to a Google server which
does amazing things and updates the screen,
sometimes once for each keystroke --
nice programming, timing, etc., but it
will be a long time until my Web site
needs such nice refinement.
