Saudi expatriate culture, by and large, is a great example of Anglosphere/West culture. The majority of expatriates in Saudi (at least when I was there, moving target) were from Texas. Oil production experience, and all.

In all honesty, my experience with people correcting my usage could be a back-lash of the very usage of the words as you had described them. The culture there has been using the word 'expatriate' for decades, and there was probably a stigma avoiding using the word as a class designator that manifested itself in a gentle 'scolding' for my usage in the way you described.

I agree with you completely; for these words, context is everything. Intent in usage plays a big part as well.
This is great news for the CreativeMarket team! I feel like CreativeMarket.com is the only marketplace that is actually giving Envato's marketplaces (Themeforest, Graphic River, Code Canyon, etc.) a run for their money -- compettition wise. The quality is really great on both services, and I like that there is good competition between the two on products. I can't wait to see how Autodesk and CreativeMarket mesh together. Congrats CreativeMarket! :)

I've noticed Supermicro offers a 45-drive 4u chassis* that costs more than the Storage Pod's raw parts cost, but less than if you buy one preassembled by 45Drives. Does anyone have any experience with Supermicro's solution?

Would you start by haggling over the word "programmer" or delisting programmers who don't have a recognized degree?

Big IT consultancies are probably your best allies in this campaign. They would definitely appreciate being able to order their rate cards for coders,licensed programmers & certified master programmers at different rates. They would also be glad to be on the certification and licensing committees. The shoddier schools would also be on board. "Recognized certification courses" has a nice ring to it.

Recruiters would also love it.

I always figured that button was for people who fell asleep or had to leave their computers. It would be trivial to automate that prompt away for a malicious user.
I would agree.

First - I don't know if it is a one-time fee or a monthly or yearly (it's not clear)?

Second - because I can't frame it against anything, it's hard for me to justify the price. You say "Even though this package is small, it will still save you hundreds of $$$ and dozens of hours trying to figure out how to get paid on your WordPress site" What specific money am I saving? Care to elaborate on this more?

Third - the copy in the pricing is WAY too wordy. I need bullet points and I need an easy way to compare the 3. Check this blog out for some suggestions for improvements: http://blog.priceintelligently.com/

Good luck!

Given that it's Sparkfun, red would have seemed to be the obvious choice.
It's not about knowing the complexity of every possible sort function. It's about having a good base to stand on, a nicely sized toolbox.

If you're working on a solution to an actual problem, it's a pretty damn good to have an idea about the complexity of it. You don't need to be an expert, but developing some kind of intuition for it is very helpful.

If your attitude towards these things is "I'll just Google it" then you're not going to be quite as useful when it comes to discussions. Your toolbox needs to be bigger than that.
I have a feeling that feeling satisfied with one's knowledge will also come with experience. I couldn't agree more on your second sentence though: not only will you learn a lot more, you will be able to hone your problem solving skills, which is what I wish to achieve now.

On the other hand, there's strong evidence that Fluke is using excessive anti-competitive practices to manipulate multimeter prices. Evidence:

1) Multimeters can be made for $10 or $15, but Fluke continues to dominate the market with equivalent meters costing 10x more. And don't tell me that these basic multimeters incur significant R&D costs.

"Guilt should be determined in retrospect based on material gain." -- The gold standard for judging extremely powerful companies.
Same here. My biggest use case was a nextbus app.
That's certainly true for staff that works on a given codebase full-time. However, there are a lot (I saw an estimate of something like 40%) of developers who are part-time, at least to one of their relevant projects. Think also of other people who work on software projects: designers, doc, etc.

Also keep in mind that many/most larger organizations don't have a single codebase, so this doesn't apply just to new hires. Everybody at a large organization would by definition be new on most of their code projects.

If a developer is going to work on a project for only two weeks, you're basically throwing away 20% of their time. Alternatively, you don't assign people to short-term projects where they might be able to add value because of the overhead.

Worth noting also: Nitrous works with any local editor and deploys to whatever, so I'm not really sure how there's lock-in.
"The USPTO website doesn’t like hard links"

6 am where? Where the app (and presumably you) are, or where you were when you set the alarm? Or better yet, if the alarm is set on a server somewhere: did you mean 6 am where your phone is, where the server is, or where you where when you set the alarm (possibly on a different machine with a different locale).

Arguably "in N hours from now" is an unambiguous "time". Possibly so is "in N hours from now, and then every 24 hours" is too, but most places that'll be wrong come daylight saving.

An alarm clock app (vs a regular, physical alarm clock) is possibly a bad example for "simple time". Because most apps are connected to a clock that automagically updates somehow, and will then need to "decide" if 6 am is 6 am or some other time. Maybe you just crossed one timezone and don't want to change the (subjective) time you get up, but still need to be able to tell the local time without having to calculate what the local time actually is...

A bit of googling turns up this forum thread with lots of pictures of old (and not so old) multimeters. A few typical pages: http://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/show-your-multimeter!/540/ http://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/show-your-multimeter!/465/

Lots and lots of not-yellow multimeters, and the dark-with-yellow-surround ones do generally seems to be Flukes.

But not quite all. There are some exceptions here: http://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/show-your-multimeter!/315/ but I think they may all be recent enough to postdate Fluke's trademark (which I think was granted in 2003).

Yes, either they should be part of the government, or they should have to actually compete on the free market without government protection.

I detest monopolies that are propped up and protected by government subsidies and regulations. The people who run such businesses are enriching themselves through rent-seeking behavior at the public's expense, and then taking bailouts when they can't make a profit, all under false pretenses like "stability," quality control, and regulatory compliance, which are really just protectionism. They enjoy this privilege because they have well-placed friends in the government, thanks to lobbying and campaign contributions. It is a form of corruption.

If a business is too big or too essential to fail, it should be a function of the government, so that there is public oversight/accountability and no rent-seeking at consumers' expense. Otherwise, it needs to be allowed to fail and be replaced by competitors, if it is not financially viable. If such a business is allowed to fail and is not replaced by a competitor, it was probably not that "essential" after all.
Along those lines here is the actual speciment they submitted when applying for the trademark:

Just as an object can have many references in typical programming languages, it is the case that an entity can have many different names in the “tradespace” and you don’t always get to decide what name consumers decide to use.

Let us take it as a given that within this particular tradespace, “contrasting yellow border” and “Fluke” just happen to be to references for the same thing, in this case a brand. But that also means that the brand can be damaged through either reference, so it’s incumbent upon the company that depends on that brand to guard those references to the brand.

"there's strong evidence that Fluke is using excessive anti-competitive practices"

That's a totally different "crime" if you want to call it that. Has nothing to do with whether a company has the right to trademark a particular design which in this case they apparently do.
Maths is a noble pursuit that's been around for millenia. The greatest achievement that a programmer can aspire to is writing/improving/optimising the libraries (linear algebra solvers, numerical routines, etc.) which enable Mathematical advances.

On the other hand, Mathematicians are just those people who write blog posts which tell the Web designers which type of graphs to use in the analytics section of their app, once all of the real work has been done.

Everything is relative.

Here you are speaking about the two different meanings of hacker, security-hacker and startup-hacker. Yes, there is a big difference, and you described it.

But it's not the point.

Full-disclosure is all of security-hackers. And the sad thing is that there is no more honour amongst security-hackers. In the 90s they used to share 0-days. Today, well if you don't sell it you're a fool.

I'm so sad I missed that period, IRC, the lulz.

I'm wondering how to answer that?

* Get a short and memorizable url.

* When you enter an URL hash it, put it in a hash table and use the hash for the link.

How would you guys answer this one? I'm not sure I've enough knowledge to do that. I'd say:

* first TLS handshake thanks to RSA to share a key

* then a GET

* then the server sends a cache version of Google according to location/cookies/etc...

* then the html gets displayed in the client's browser
I think it's probably best to split the job search into two bits.

a) The bit where some recruiter is looking through CV's.
b) The bit when you talk to the gaffer.

I agree with the 'drop everything off a cv' line. Most recruiters have at best a basic understanding of IT buzzwords and next to no IQ. Keep it simple, sell yourself as the answer to the problem and save the interesting chat about what you did in 1987 for more important people.

What gets me is that the agent who inspected the packaging knew about this trademark. There must be a very large number of such trademarks and I doubt all the agents know all of them so for the agent who knew about this trademark to be the one who inspected the shipment seems like really bad luck.
It's worth noting they only put 45 drives in the box so that extra $700 only gets you a 12.5% storage gain. However I suspect that splitting the drives between the two increases read/write performance and reliability as well.

But should you really be allowed to trademark industrial design? Consider Dell XPS ultrabooks. They are obviously designed to look like a Macbook, but with a Dell logo instead of the Apple logo (http://cdn-static.cnet.co.uk/i/product_media/40002464/image3...). Or think about sport cars, Ferrari has a trademark for their horse logo, but they don't have a monopoly on "a sport car painted red".

I think that is the ideal tradeoff---the logo lets a consumer know what they are buying, but you should still be allowed to buy cheap products that look stylish...
Have you considered adding dogecoin and/or litecoin? The inflationary nature of dogecoin lends itself to a higher transaction volume than bitcoin, whereas bitcoin inherently encourages hoarding, not to mention the overwhelmingly generous nature of the dogecoin community in general.
Supermicro is a very popular "white box" server manufacturer. The chassis you linked is much more of a "real" server: hot swap drives, hot swap cooling and redundant PSU. Also, Supermicro even has a 90 (!) drive 4U chassis and for what it does, it's quite cheap.
Agreed. I think there's a tinge of arrogance to the claim that Google/FB/what have you need The Best(tm) while everyone else does not.

The reality is that there are some jobs (a small minority) at these companies that require incredibly deep algorithmic knowledge - they really do do some complicated things.

But the majority of jobs at TwitGooFace are your run of the mill programming jobs, where the requirement and the reality don't call for anyone at that level, and hiring someone at that level is just going to make them bored. Indeed, the vast majority of people I know at these companies aren't algorithmic encyclopedia, they're just solidly competent engineers.

Having worked at a "AAA" tech giant and many more places across the country, I'm happy to report that for the most part there's nothing exceptional about Silicon Valley jobs and what they require. For the most part, barring a minority of highly specialized high-level positions, engineering ability trumps computer science knowledge.
There are plenty of things people want, but don't want to pay for. To take a very prominent and obvious example, most people want to have sex, but the amount most people are willing to straight up pay for sex is around $0.

Regarding airlines, I think the issue is one of temporal duration. I'm willing to suck it up for one (or two) 8 hour flights. It's uncomfortable, but whatever, it's over. I'm not going to pay an extra $100 to spare myself some temporary discomfort.

If, on the other hand, airlines offered some kind of subscription service (a la Amazon Prime) where I could pay $200/year to spare myself all future discomfort by getting a "free" upgrade to economy-plus on any flights I take, then I might be interested.
This is better than their previous POD though, which had two PSUs, but no redundancy. I.e, if a single PSU failed, the entire machine would go down as it wouldn't have enough power to run all of the drives.

Obviously, for them it is cheaper to live without PSU redundancy because it is a normal day for them to lose disks and PODs because they've got so many of them, and they designed for this scenario.
Welcome to the Starship Enterprise. I have yet to see an enterprise dev stack that a competent developer can get up and running in a day, without "cheating" by being given a VM or preloaded laptop. Lots of reasons:

- the setup process isn't documented

- the stack isn't documented

- the above are documented, but the documents are a year old and obsolete

- sample data? Go ask Jim on 3. Jim doesn't work here anymore.

- etc.

In the US it's no problem, there are no exit immigrations.

The only time I've been nervous about catching an international flight was from HKG->SFO when there was a small line for exit customs. I showed up to the airport about 45 minutes before my flight and their lack of TSA-esque security made up for waiting to get my passport checked. I got to the gate just as they started boarding my group.
It's the dark grey/black face + the yellow shell/border that's the problem here. It's really similar to Fluke's usual design.

I did some contracting work for a company in Vienna for about 5 weeks. (I am a US citizen living Sweden.) I stayed in a business apartment. I mentioned the name of the area to one of the employees at the company. He commented that I might not like it because there are a lot of immigrants. I pointed out that I should fit in then, since I'm an immigrant.

In this context, I knew that he meant "immigrant" as shorthand for "cultural minorities" (in this case, mostly from the Middle East), and I was being deliberately naive to help prevent expropriating the term "immigrant" in that fashion.

Right...but even in this trivial gem, there may be the need to configure more than one parameter. And by having Configuration be it's own object, you can encode some validation logic at the configuration stage.

Imagine someone with ginger hair saying "Oh it's just like being gay and being bullied for who you are". That person is trying to claim that they have it just as bad as groups who have it bad. I suspect the person thought patio11 was claiming to be suffering horrible hardship due to being an immigrant

Now, patio11 is an immigrant/expat (being a USAian living in Japan), and who knows perhaps in Japan there are disadvantages/hurdles by looking like a white dude. So I have no idea if it was/is right for someone to say that to him.

I'll scratch it up to American social justice warriors having the common mistake of thinking everything is like the USA.
Which terminal do you usually fly out of?

I'm nearly always flying out of C (United/JetBlue) and my experiences in Boston have usually been the opposite: thankful at what a convenient airport we have here compared to the other city in my trip [1] -- including Raleigh (though the rocking chairs are a nice touch!).

I never considered it before, but maybe Logan's terminals vary greatly in their convenience.
