Atypical profil (from LAMP dev to police officer / now willing to take a u-turn in my career as a full stack developer!). I am fond of learning everything related to the web and using bleeding-edge technologies.
I ran into the same problem, then found that the phone number wasn't required to make an account.
The two that come to mind:

- My company sells products that I design, market, sell, or build

- My company bills third parties for my services

Anything else and you're probably working a support function for a business that is selling something that is not your work. The people who make the products or services that are being sold are profit centers, the rest of the company are cost centers.
"According to authors Graham Harris and Les MacPhie, Borehole 10X terminated in a cavity carved out of bedrock. Within the stone chamber were what appeared to be a severed hand, a corpse and several treasure chests (2005). Prompted by the video images, the Triton Alliance initiated approximately 10 diving excursions into the subterranean cavern. No treasure was extracted as a result of the divers' investigations."

Any chance of recovering that video?

Personally I thought of something like Nemo's underground/underwater base. Unfortunately by simply smashing through layers of timber treasure hunters most likely flooded/collapsed entire tunnel system.
'E) I think someone said something factually incorrect'

Of course, one should reply with a correction, but in reality, maybe that's not always what happens.
It's different mostly due to diffraction which is neglible in case of light and very important when simulating sound.
Hmm.. I know I can only comment on the Flame, but your trouble with flashing seems odd.

Update sources? git pull; ./repo sync -d

Build from source? ./build.sh

Flash to device? ,/flash.sh

Done. Device reboots into a shiny new version. I couldn't imagine an easier way tbh.

Regarding the rest of your comment: I do have pain points¹. I was a bit disappointed at times. But the progress is good and the current state (git, not what my flame came with, 1.3) looks very, very promising.

1: Keyboard's UX decision to be all caps (a la iPhone), lack of a working xmpp client, lack of a mail client w/ idle (mandatory) and server side search (optional but really helpful) support. Solve these and I need no apps/a different platform.
But if it's not laziness that holds people back, then it might not be all the hours and sacrifices I made that contributed to my success. Which means I suffered for nothing.

I can see why people don't want to believe it could be fixed at birth.
> Why on earth would you say (LPSTR)(char * ) ? That is literally saying (char * ) (char * ).

Possibly because it's not obvious that LPSTR is the same thing as char *. Sure, if you've done a non-trivial amount of windows programming I'm sure it's one of those things you just get use to. But as someone coming from the Unix world, I can't imagine why you wouldn't just use the native types (same with DWORD and friends).
Check again later, and you may see the price go back down (or up higher). There are third-party price history trackers for Amazon as well that let you see the volatility of prices for specific items over time.
Imagine you're reading a paper about programming, and suddenly it mentions "refactoring the abstract megabyte". A non-programmer might insist that replacing "megabyte" with "class" makes the phrase kinda sorta meaningful, so the paper is totally legit. But I don't think you'd buy it.

When you're unfamiliar with some field, and insiders to that field tell you that misuse of technical terms is a strong red flag, you'd better believe them. Their words come from painful experience.
I believe it's because of the education they get at home. It's the reason why many professional NBA players go broke shortly after retirement. Because a lot of them grew up poor, they never learned from their parents how to manage money. I believe success is LARGELY determined by what family you are born into.
Go is a language built on concurrency. Today's computers are usually allocated a lot of memory resources.

Garbage collection is required but even a hybrid STW only reduces latency but doesn't eliminate it. Nor is there seemingly any foreseeable way of allowing developers to issue a GC request in a timely fashion.

What if, prior to enacting GC, Go concurrently shifted from it's current memory allocation to an exact clone, cleaned up, then shifted back? Or maybe it cleans as it's cloning, enabling a shift to a newer, cleaner allocation? Sure, there would be latency during the switch, but it would be considerably less than stopping everything and waiting for GC to finish.
This is excellent. This may finally get my friend and I to finish prototyping that board game idea we've had for ages.

Pinterest is largely an anomaly though. It celebrates things that aren't really embraced in any other major platform, and the only reason it is acknowledged (IMO) is because of how much audience it has captured.

Based on the description of this platform, Pinterest sounds like its closest analogue.

That is correct. That is why I said it was the "base rate". The example was to illustrate what the employment opportunity would look like if an employer of a developer had to pay an hourly rate with overtime pay, instead of being able to pay them as an exempt salaried employee.

Assuming the position required 60 hour work weeks(as a non trivial amount of developer positions do) this is what the two would look like for exactly the same final pay.

With salary one can say: $50,000/year

With hourly one would say: $13/hr + overtime

While being the exact same pay, it looks quite a bit different. No?
It exists heavily in my industry (retail channel management) but mostly as design specs. Most companies tend to use XML it seems but they still base their feeds off of the old-school spec.
> Appears similar to Scala w/ case classes

Similar? Looks exactly the same to me (language syntax aside), immutable properties, hashcode, equals, toString, etc. Kotlin grabbed it as well for their record types, good idea, eliminates great swaths of boilerplate and mutable state at the same time.
The docs remain silent on the subject but since ControlTrace takes a TCHAR * I guess the logger name in the struct could be a TCHAR[] too. So perhaps LPTSTR was intended.
This is brilliant - I just spent 15 minutes browsing his site, and I am seriously considering purchasing his book.

I'm recently realized that I have built up a lot of intuition over the years for how to improve the performance of interesting applications on real systems. I follow a lot of these procedures. Recently, I've been trying to explain to others how to do this, but I've been explaining it in an ad-hoc manner, as it comes up. Turns out, Brendan Gregg has already explained it all in a systematic, digestible way.

Really brilliant stuff. Computer systems are discoverable, we can always figure out what's going on with enough patience, reasoning, a systematic approach, and the right tools. I'm glad to have a resource I can send to others, and that I can hopefully learn more from.
The article is question-begging with multiple quotes like this:

"Her multiple relapses, according to recent science, are no ethical or moral failing – no failure of will. Instead, they are the brain reigniting the neurological and chemical pathways of addiction."

Why the assumption that the will is made irrelevant by the fact that brain chemistry exists? Are they really suggesting that AA never realized there was a "mind over matter" struggle in recovering from addiction, just because the "matter" wasn't as well understood when AA started?

Author seems to take for granted that all readers share his radically materialistic metaphysics in which "mind is matter". But that's not the real problem. The real problem with this article is his arrogant implication that the reason the AA doesn't agree with him because it's simply never heard about his self-evidently superior, childish modern philosophy.
Nice to have several viewpoints on the devices, though my opinion is probably biased.
This guy's brilliant. Love it.

I'd agree with that, and I hope he can demonstrate that to the team. I wish it was the other way around really. I wish entry-level folks (fresh out of college, tons of energy, no responsibilities at home) would naturally try to outdo / outpace the senior people to prove their worth, but alas I haven't seen that happen much.

But one other consideration: as a c-suite executive, nobody else in your department really has any idea what you do all day. When you leave for a few hours they don't know if you're going to meetings or walking your dog. I've had superiors who left far earlier than me on a regular basis but I never assumed that their day was done; I really had no idea what their calendar looked like, and just assumed that only part of their day was allocated to face-time-with-the-developers.

I think you can use this to your advantage. If you play it right, you can stop working without anybody really knowing it, and most people will assume you work way longer hours than you actually do.

Part of the equation is undoubtedly the financial resources kids have access to but you have to also factor in what the parents teach children.

If a parent is financially irresponsible and just sits their children in front of the TV to act as a babysitter, the child will have trouble getting ahead in life.

I would like to see a study based on the professions of parents rather than their income. Will a parent who is a scientist, engineer, or teacher generally produce a child who is eager to learn?

How do mentors affect the outcome of children? Is there a substantial positive result when a child has a mentor that supports them and teaches them the things that they don't learn in school? If so, why aren't mentors encouraged more in society? The concept of a mentor was never even proposed to me until late in college, other than the big brothers/sisters advertisements occasionally seen on TV, and they seemed targeted at the orphaned children or children living with grandparents.

Basic financial responsibility and many other basic life skills are simply not taught in school, it's expected to be taught at home. The problem is that many parents do not realize this and fail to ever teach their children anything positive.

Children generally think that their parents are the best people in the world and try to imitate everything they do, that's where the cycle happens.

Is there any kind of government subsidies for mentors? If someone devotes their entire day to helping out several children, that person should be paid, the parents cannot afford to pay them, who will?

Paragraphs 23 on are pretty interesting. The author talks about preserving outmoded technology for posterity. Surely, he must be aware of the emulation/rom scene, and online communities like AssemblerGames which are pertaining to do just that.

Sure, there is Satellaview content lost to time, and that is exactly where we are going to be 10 years from now when our current consoles' DRM servers go offline and we have no way of playing that WiiWare or XBLA exclusive game that is tied to specific machines. Remember how much phones preloaded with flappy bird were selling for on ebay?

And his takeaway is thought provoking. We're doing this to ourselves. In a way this is bad - if we don't understand our past mistakes, we are doomed to repeat them. But then again, like so many time traveling heroes in our stories, sometimes it takes ignoring the past or ignoring tradition to build a better future.

This is really important.

I grew up upper-middle class. While I was going to school, my mom stayed at home and my dad worked few enough hours that he could help me with my homework. I learned a lot more than other kids in the same timeframe because I had someone always pushing me to learn more.

Now that I'm an adult, I have a lot of opportunities. If I have a question about finances, I can ask my dad. If I ever needed financial help, my parents could help out. If I need advice, support, or even just someone to talk to, my parents are knowledgeable and can help me with pretty much any situation. Not to mention that even if they can't help me, they have a network of similar-minded people who can do so.

Poor people don't have that. Education? Go to your shitty school and learn; if you don't understand trig, don't ask me because I never learned it. Finances? I'm in debt up to my eyeballs with payday loans and bad credit cards, don't ask me. Actually, do you have money? I need some right now, son.

I get frustrated with people who say, "You just have to work hard and avoid bad decisions." Poor people never learn how to make good decisions, and they do badly as a result.

I don't understand this. If you turned down VC money ("I wish I took VC money") then what do you mean by "early validation that we were lacking ... from an investor/VC side?"

Do you mean that you weren't able to be taken seriously because you didn't have VC behind you? Or do you mean that you wish you had the opportunity to take VC money?

If the former, I'd like to hear more about it if you can share.

What Happens If You Commit a Murder While Sleepwalking?
"because the overhead costs are higher and people's needs differ."

I don't understand how the overhead costs are higher with more predictable results and mass production (or are we defining costs differently?). Isn't the goal to provide basic living for people who can't provide for themselves instead of letting them die on the streets?

I'm proposing unlimited baskets of goods purely for predictable cost reasons, it doesn't really matter if they gamble them away, although I find it unlikely they'd find any takers since everyone has access to the same baskets.

Welfare is a cost, basic income doesn't seem like it would satisfy that cost in the most efficient way.
Almost certainly. The entire economy is running on smoke and mirrors.

Take a look at this article that describes how companies are borrowing money to buy stock in themselves in order to push up their own share prices: http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/companies-tur...

I envy having that kind of parent/mentor. It's taken me many years to learn basic things on my own, financial responsibility, social skills, the importance of education, discipline, study habits, etc.

My parents came home and either sat in front of the TV or laid out by the pool and drank. I was very bored at school and teachers see too many students every day to focus on a few to help. I'm not saying that support was impossible to find, but you had to know where to look, that is something that I didn't learn until much later in life.

Most successful people talk about their mentors or how their parents pushed and constantly educated them. That's one of the things I looked for in a wife, the passion to teach children.

Laziness and lack of discipline appear to be taught, and it's something that's very difficult to unteach.

I remember asking my parents to teach me things like taxes or let me help with the work they brought home, the answer was always "later" or "you wouldn't understand it" or "I don't have time to teach you right now", eventually I stopped asking.
I attended MakerSquare this past spring with 20 other people and it was well worth it. The program was intense, but it taught software engineering principles and everyone that graduated was able to build a full RoR application at graduation. It did not "teach to the test", but instead Almost everyone that I graduated with 4 months ago have found jobs with a better pay than they had been making previously. A couple things to keep in mind:

Pick a school that has a good reputation. The reputation of the school will help you a lot during your job search.

Get ready to work hard! My class worked 6-7 days a week for 9+ hours/day. Cram as much information into your head as you can during the 12 weeks.

Pick a school that has a career services section! This was invaluable for everyone that graduated from MakerSquare. The career services team sets up connections with companies that are hiring and lets them know what to expect from the school's graduates.

So why go to a bootcamp? Yes, you can learn how to code on your own, but you will learn a lot more in the 3 month program than you can on your own in 3 months. The other benefits? Bounce questions off of teachers for a full 3 months (and more). Work with the other students that are there for the same reasons you are. Network with your classmates, other school alumni and professionals in the industry that know about your school. Have a team at your school working to get you hired whenever you need a job. The benefits greatly outweigh the costs if you work hard.

If you build something you love, chances are someone else will love it, too. If you use something you love, chances are someone else will love it to. Incremental things that we love can spread like wild fire (Facebook, Twitter, and reddit), and they have changed the world; further incremental products will likely do so, too.

...An interesting discussion is whether these things we love make the world a better place. Another interesting discussion is if engineers and entrepreneurs focus too much on the things we love instead of the things the world needs.

I tend to like the open access model you are proposing. I am very inclined to operate the network on an open access model. However, depending on our funding sources, we may be forced to be an ISP and phone company to get the funding. Right now we are exploring the FCC's Rural Broadband Experiments. In theory, we could have a partner service provider handle the phone service requirement, but it may not be as easy to do in practice. Thanks for commenting. Even if we do operate our own ISP/Phone Company, it is strongly likely the network will be open access.
