The possibility that this completely ignores is pasting the password twice. The best passwords are randomly generated, lots of what looks like line noise, and very long. Computers are very good at making these passwords, so much so that programs exist solely for the purpose. Some password managers even have them built in. So, you want to create a new account (or change a password), what do you do? Randomly generate, then cut and paste twice (three times, if your password manager is not the same as your password generator). Disabling cut and paste kills this process, leading to the possibility of typos or weak passwords, thereby decreasing security. And, NB, not all password managers can autofill despite the HTML, and quite frankly, they shouldn't have to work around this misfeature masquerading as security.
ha yea i read the first few sections & they were so hollow i had to come check the comments too -- good UX is not putting a bunch of filler in your opening 10 paragraphs. Only thing thats been said so far is that "3-click rule" that my 900 year-old boss spews to management after raving to me about how much he loves the Mac philosophy.

In all seriousness, would love to see a guide from the more scientifcally-researched vein of this type of work.

Looks useful, although it's not something I think I'd signup to wait for. This strikes me as the kind of thing I'd stumble on when writing a game and thinking "jesus this has probably been solved before, let me just google this real quick.."

On the other hand, this is the sort of thing that's also pretty easy to implement on your own. So: your main competition is probably internal teams that think "why would we give control of this to someone else?". So I would design accordingly.

As an aside, I would totally try to integrate this with existing dev communities. I bet you'd have a lot of luck if you were to make a Unity plugin/script, for instance, or maybe a UE4 thing (not sure the multiplayer story with UE4, but I know with unity it kinda sucks).

All the same, I think this comes down to your goals. If this is like "a project to make some money on the side", I think it's a great idea, on the other hand, if it's a startup idea I just don't think there's really enough of a market there.

If your company is in California, I can come back 10-40% of the time. I can work w/ you full time for 3-6 months before transitioning to remote.

The studies you're referencing are very misleading. Many countries have much lower variation in income than the US. Imagine two normal curves, but one (the US) is very flattened and one (northern Europe) with a sharp peak.

In the US moving from X to X+Y might only push you a few percent higher in rank, there are still a lot of people in the fat tails on both sides, while the same change in Scandinavia might represent a substantial rank change.

Perhaps the problem isn't that it's hard to move up in the US, the problem is that in northern Europe it's impossible to escape the rat race.
Alternative theory: men think with their junk. OK, I'll see myself out...

In all seriousness, it'd be great to see a more thorough study here. I see so many confounding factors. Measuring intelligence is a tough one. Perhaps people more likely to score higher on intelligence tests come from a part of the world where higher sperm counts were selected for genetically. For example, how do sperm counts correlated with the number of cold vs hot days during an average year? Or humidity levels? Or circumcision traditions? Or average penis size? My point is that there are so many factors that go into calculating intelligence and at least to me it seems there are as many factors that affect sperm count that this correlation may be influenced by several other hidden variables.

Medieval computer science: "STOC 1500"
The place I work at had just recently (a couple years ago) moved from an older office with 6 ft cubical walls, to an open office with the short cubical walls. You can see over the top of them when sitting down, but they also have a frosted glass piece (1 ft high) stuck on top to maintain privacy (but still let light through).

Big thing I notice -- in the old office, it was pretty noisy, as it was all too easy for people to think they had privacy when they were in a high-walled cubical. The new office is a bit quieter, as people tend to talk in hushed voices more, since they can see everyone around them that would otherwise hear them.

We have a very small recruiting web site up at http://www.westlakerobotics.com I'm a little unsure about which details are OK with me to share, as I'm a coder, not a recruiter, but here's some more stuff:

We're a new (~3 month old) development lab of a well established company in the healthcare information / transaction processing space. Sort of skunk-works, sort of pilot program. We're supported by the "mother ship", but we're building both the software and the team from the ground up.

We chose "robotics" as a guiding metaphor for our strong focus on build/test/deploy/monitor automation.

We're using Amazon Web Services and open-source tools (Java, Gradle, Spring Framework) wherever possible.

That's interesting. For your friends, there is a "Photos of <friend>" item on their photos page, but for non-friends it doesn't show.

How Web 2.0 killed the Internet
As the "Startup Standards" begin to take shape, these guides prove to be extremely useful for the newcomers out there. Sure in 6-12 months it may become a bit dated (depending on the guide) but if kept up-to-date, they can be a powerful tool for a new company.
For the case where you're looking for developers who just want a drop-in way to REST'ify the problem away, while seeing if you can capture the 'backend services' aspect of the problem, I dunno. My feedback is, this is a bit of a short sell. Multiplayer gaming services for developers with a customer-base on the order of 10's or even 100's of k's of users, must be worth the salt, surely, to tackle the backend properly .. i.e. who needs to buy this? Wouldn't developers just make it, easily enough, for themselves?

Second point is, to launch, it would be nice to have big examples for incoming visitors to be attracted to the service.

Apropos the idea of multiplayer gaming, I have found that node.js and a smart bit of client-pool reflection has meant that I don't have to lean heavily on a 3rd-party API framework for the 'backend multiplayer' bit, because after all .. that's the good bit. Today's multiplayer game engine is a few well-spent afternoons with node.js, imho .. it does at least make just-in-time deployment very smooth. Don't forget that this is, also, a place for things like Lua and Rust to excel. I'm not trying to be contrarian, but these are the realms in which you dwell; a multiplayer API+(deployment problem solved with magic), versus having someone built such a thing in a month or 3, themselves, and consequently owning the codebase, because .. after all, the backend is where a lot of the magic happens when you've got 10's of k's of gamers online, and can watch it happen for months on end ..

for example, you don't want someone to mistype their password, paste it twice

And right there, you've made the wrong assumption that so many have in this thread; the whole point of password managers is that you're not typing anything in, ever. You generate the password, preferably in your password manager, then paste it twice. No possibility of typos.

I really started out doing work with PHP (Java was my goal, but a PHP internship is what I landed, and later a PHP job though I tried to get an entry level Java job).

I started falling in love with JavaScript though, and front end development is something I have enjoyed doing. I've played around with some Nodejs in my off time and really like it, but I also enjoy Angular and Backbone and working with CSS and HTML a lot (I'm also one of those oddballs that enjoy the challenges of cross browser support), so wouldn't want to get constrained to a back end only position.

I'm probably still a Jr level developer (~5 years), maybe mid level, though I've never worked on anything that requires scale, so I'm going to go with Jr.
How Emerging Market Mayhem Turns Up In Corporate America's Earnings
We had this for meeting rooms at a previous job. It worked quite poorly, since it took a long time to pull in your profile. Meeting runners learned to get to the thirty-minute meeting ten minutes early so that there was some hope of being able to use the computer for part of the meeting. Also, the Windows profiles we were using didn't include applications, so there was the fun of each person who needed, say, Skype, or Chrome, downloading it onto each computer that they hadn't previously used it on.
How bizarre that they realized the issue, fixed it, and left it off by default. I can't think of one reason to leave the old behavior in.

Firebase – Build Realtime Apps
We should need neither VMs nor Containers. The process isolation and environment virtualization provided by the OS should be sufficient, that's what it is there for.

The fact that it is not seems like a huge failure both in terms of application architecture that assumes it owns an entire machine and operating system technology that can't prevent this.

VMs always seemed like a ridiculous (expensive, over-engineered, under-performing, mis-applied, ...) solution to that problem (they're fine for OS/hardware simulation etc.), but containers look like a nice, minimal extension to the isolation offered by the OS.

Learning the language is one thing, but remembering it is quite another. I was born in Poland and now live in the States. We speak Polish at home and English pretty much everywhere else. I've also learned Spanish, but I do have a hard time being proficient at it since I don't use it.
Wouldn't it be much better to tech the concept of horizontal scalability applied to the application stack? Your server is a stack of interfaces: a frontend cache, a static content server, a dynamic content server and a database. You can horizontally scale each stack layer. Much simpler, applicable to different scenarios.

However, this approach won't give you a viral article title like "eight server setups for your app" (replace eight by 2^n where n is the layer count).
We're not looking to replace the multiplayer engine (at least not on launch day), we're more looking towards relieving the developer from having to manage a server for users/lobbies. The players or the developer would still need to run the actual game server where the gaming is taking place.
I generally remember web 2.0 as being about social, not exactly about open APIs. In fact, curious I Googled the term to see what the Wikipedia article has to say and sure enough, the first defining paragraph reads as follows:

"A Web 2.0 site may allow users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to Web sites where people are limited to the passive viewing of content. Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis, folksonomies, video sharing sites, hosted services, Web applications, and mashups.[3]"

Certainly a big component of web 2.0 was mashups, and for those you need an open API ... but I'm not sure it was the defining characteristic.
Ok, say you implemented Dedep accidentally and now your table is huge. I'm sure it is a slog to go back, but HOW DO YOU DO IT.

I did end up skimming a few more sections to see if it picked up & it was still all hollow, common sense stuff eventually descending into predatory gamification/addiction tactics. I know there are a lot of burgeoning startup types on here but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE understand that responsible developers should strive to make a product that serves a real need for users. I want to make software that retains customers through convenience, features, value.

This guide reads more like those old guides for how to use SEO to drive traffic to your dung-heap. I don't know how others feel but I want to create a good experience for my users, not convince the masses that they are my users so I can go to some freemium lowest-common-denominator model.

Is web dev the wrong place for me or are we just in a bubble phase for these people who try to use their "clever interfaces" to regress humans to some animal state? (If you look at the chapter headers in this guide I don't think I'm out of line... its literally about addiction, sex, etc.)

From the lede of this Wikipedia article: "which has run almost continuously ever since, apart from occasional short interruptions caused by high humidity." Well, that's not the same as "have not stopped," or "has not stopped." The submission headline here is an exaggeration.
The one thing I really want from Digital Ocean is a guide that carefully explains how to set up the "private network" piece of the equation.

The "orange box" that represents the private network in each of the examples is taken for granted, but for someone coming from an application development perspective that piece isn't trivial to make. EC2 Security groups make that sort of box incredibly easy to make, but DO doesn't have anything like that.
