Yes, the article is right in one thing: It can take you ten years (including undergraduate studies) to get a PhD. It takes you 10 years to find out if there is a market (not now but in 10 years) for you.

Don't get a PhD. Don't get a PhD in any field.

MSRs have two systemic problems:

1) separation of molten salt and "burned" fuel

2) molten salt being higly corrosive to the plumbing

I fail to see how this "new" design fixes these two inherent problems.
If there is no good replacement it is likely because it doesn't need to exist.

I would give Toptal a try. It seems like they are trying to establish a solid relationship between companies and freelancers and they care about both sides. They also make sure to properly screen all applicants before they allow them on the platform, which includes a Skype interview and a not so easy programming test.

Ask HN: Will Hacker News Get An Official "Show HN" Section?
I've just recently joined Hacker News and I think it is a great community, however there is one flaw. While browsing through the "Ask HN" section, I find nearing half of the entries to be "Show HN". I think there are so many people who are now "showing" things to HN, it deserves its own section up top. Does anyone else share this opinion?
One thing I don't see mentioned in the blogpost or in the comments is the discussion that ticketing gets you deferred revenue, i.e., float. They get to pay for most of their COGS with cash instead of credit, and earn interest in the process. This seems like the most fundamental improvement to the restaurant business, but maybe not something they want to highlight on their blog.
Swing is NOT platform native, that's why SWT was developed in the first place. Swing can use native look-a-like theming but it's not the same thing as SWT's actual, truly native widgets (with native keyboard shortcuts, system services..).

wxWidgets and SWT are about as native at it can be in a cross platform GUI library. I don't see why you'd need a screenshot of the go library, it would look the same as a typical wxWidgets or SWT app, which is to say, it uses native controls, but might not be designed according to the "common" UI conventions of the platform.
Do you have any sources for the Go playing? I only ask out of interest, as it'd be something the BGA would be very interested in knowing I think...

You buy an Internet connection from an Internet service provider to consume the Internet. Until the word Internet is dropped from “ISP”, that's the service they sell.

They have no more rationale to charge Netflix to “access” Internet service purchasers than they have to charge your grandmother to deliver you her email.

And about that profit motive, cable already raises prices at 4x consumer price inflation:

“Since the FCC began compiling these reports 19 years ago, the cost of basic, expanded basic and the next-most-popular tier of service have risen at average annual clips of 4.3 percent, 6.1 percent and 5.1 percent, respectively. Inflation has grown at an average annual pace of just 2.4 percent over that time period.”

Bought this a while back and was very impressed, definitely a worthwhile purchase if you ever spend some time without much internet access. The integration with Alfred + the fuzzy searching is just the icing on the cake.

Also as a little side note, I thought the way it handled the UI for tabs was interesting, though it does leave little room to grab the window and drag when you've got a few open.

In some way it makes sense, as you ditch the whole dynamic part of your page generation, allowing you to effectively use a static dump for your website. You can then update that periodically. Facebook is left to pick up all the hosting hassles and expense. Also you tap into the Facebook ecosystem. Having said that I doubt I'd even leave a Facebook comment on another website, I haven't yet.
I still mourn the passing of Vern Buerg's LIST.COM (and Buerg (d. 2009) himself) though the enhanced v1.81 version is still available for download if you search for it, it is 16-bit only, and would anyhow be not much use to me since I migrated to Linux 18 or so years ago.

Your reputation with this site is essentially no more than internet points. Your work, your experience, and your ability stays with you.

The ultimate goal of any agency-type business is to take the maximum amount of money from their clients while doing the least possible amount of work for them. If the clients feel locked-in (as you do), that's brilliant for them, because they can abuse you in this way and they know you won't change your behaviour apart from grumbling on some forum.

Although others are suggesting you use a competitor, I think you should consider whether this is a business model you want to support in the future.

I like the idea, I bought it and have it open all the time, however I don't find myself using it that often. That's probably because I know most of the tools I work with out of memory (angularJS), and the documentation I do have to look up sometimes (UnderscoreJS) I actually prefer to see in the browser; the navigation on the browser version has a better subdivision in Underscore modules (functions, arrays, objects etc) which Dash's index is missing.

(subtle feature request: subcategories for the underscore docset, or headers/sections in the method listing)

Okay, to remove all ambiguity.

Google+:

1) Google+ is not a Photo community. Thus, I can have no expectation of fitness for purpose.
2) It does indeed share the quota with Gmail.
3) 7GB is also ridiculously low as a quota for any larger pictures. Thats 3500 pictures compressed, if each takes 2 MB. Thats easily reachable even for amateurs. Also, the quota is _shared_, clogging my _email account_, if I have one.
4) I'd like to upload originals. A Canon EOS 350, released more than 5 years ago in the consumer space, makes pictures far larger then 2048x2048px.

Picasa, which is Googles Photo community:

1) Has a 1GB limit.
2) Is not a necessarily compelling app, more an G+ attachment nowadays.

I used to be a huge proponent to single click sign in, in theory it's great. The problem I found with my own startup was that by allowing Twitter, Facebook or Google+ sign in, it was a point of confusion for the user. The amount of duplicate, even triple accounts was far higher that what I would have expected.

After reviewing the pros and cons, I switched to a simple email/password combination which also solved another problem of having to ask the user for their email address.

There really is a need for a true single sign in provider, in which you link your identity accounts to one 'super' account and then sign in with that, allowing whatever information is available from each as you wish, or simply a blank profile with only your identifier to link back to you.

I think that is a good move on Yahoo's part.

They may lose some Flickr users but this should strengthen Yahoo's walled garden.

I still like Flickr, where I post my very best pictures. I use Google+ and Dropbox to automatically archive every picture and video I take with my smartphone, but use Flickr to actually look at my new and old photos.

You've mentioned: 3D printed robots, cell phones, and powerful computers. Programmers didn't build any of these things--other sorts of engineers did. The OP asked: "but what other profession has the potential to let society have the potential of sustainable affordable riches for all WITHOUT this kind of murder for gain?" The answer is: lots of professions will have to work together to make this possible.

The overarching issue is that OP's self-aggrandizing tech utopian gibberish ignores the fact that giving masses of people access to cheap consumer goods will require revolutions in many areas that have little to do with programming. 3D printers are going to be of limited usefulness without advances in materials science. Their reliance on plastics is going to become untenable given the continuing increasing price of petroleum. Etc.

Outside engineering, it will require major advances in social and political systems. Without such advances, 3d printers will put everyone out of work, and all the benefits will go to those who own the means of producing those robots. Moreover, 3D printed robots don't make metals and plastics out of thin air--those have to be mined out of the ground and those deposits are often in countries quite hostile to each other.

However both police and firemen already deal with those issues, especially at the edges of cities. E.g. where I live, at the edge of two, police from both regularly handle incidents.

Firemen are even more heterogeneous, in that they have arrangements for big fires and catastrophes like tornadoes where adjacent units come to help. After my city got hit by an EF-5 tornado, as I was exiting my trashed apartment complex, there were fire units varying from a small Indian tribe that's right across a state border from us (and the city e.g. treats the sewage of their casino) to one 40 miles away. Next day, the markings on my apartment door were from a fire unit the came from 160 miles away.

What is needed is something like unity of command/hierarchy. Having two or more units responsible for the same territory leads to the sorts of problems you cite, e.g. a friend told me the NYC city police and subway police once got into a big firefight. This would have been in the '70s or earlier, now they've been unified.

£18k (€22.2k, or 1850 €/month) for a programmer is significantly less than what you'd get in Germany or Austria for the same position. My very first job in the game industry paid almost 50% more than that & that was some years ago.

I believe in Austria the legal minimum (from the Kollektivvertrag) you can get paid as a programmer is 2.1k €/month, 14 times a year (so €29.4k/year) and most people start above that minimum.

In the early-aughts I worked for a small web software company that used Microsoft systems for development and production. We got bought out by a larger "professional" dev house (that also developed on MS products) and a new edict issued (so we could be professionals): we needed a STRICT coding standard. 80 chars per line NO EXCEPTIONS. Of course that was the only rule set in stone for all languages.

Even the plain, flat HTML files had to be less than 80 chars per line.
I personally favour the passport/OpenID idea, from a user experience point of view.

In contrast to the problem you've stated, if I were to exclusively use my Google account to log into websites, it becomes a single point of failure if the service was down, and if it were to be compromised.

It's interesting that this old saw comes up with the implication that 80 columns is not enough. Back in the day, Forth programmers wanted to put their source in binary length blocks. They picked 64 columns rather than 128. Forth is a particularly concise language, but the point still exists.

> Maybe losing 100k users a day doesn't matter much to yahoo.

1. Not all of them will be lost.

2. 100k/day is probably a lot for Yahoo.

Given camera use statistics, https://www.flickr.com/cameras, we may take the most used breands and count their daily users.

Daily Canon users (brand #1): 41621.
Daily Apple users (brand #2): 38002.
Daily Nikon users (brand #3): 28667.
Daily Samsung users (brand #4): 5007.
Daily Sony users (brand #5): 9160.

Thus there are 130k daily users of the top 5 brands.

If we go one for the long tail of the less popular brands, we will probably double the estimate. So it gives us 200-300k daily users contributing images. Losing 100k of them is a lot. But are Facebook users uploading images to Flickr? Are they active commenters? Are they active at all?
