My 9 year-old girl has really enjoyed YouthDigital.com's courses so far. They're expensive, but extremely kid-friendly and practical (the Minecraft Mod Design 1* course is especially fun).

Yet, the Nexus 5 was already 50€ more expensive than its predecessor, the Nexus 4.
Well, I think it's more important to point out that our culture has devolved into something that endorses and promotes backstabbing mobs of cowards conspiring against anyone who displays ethical behaviour. Landing on a comet isn't going to save mankind from anything. And everyone has heard about the comet landing already ffs I've had enough of it.

EU "delegates" don't have what it takes to pressure the US on anything. It's usually the other way around. EU regularly bends to US demands, not vice-versa. E.g. providing the NSA with personal data for all airline passengers flying in or out of Europe...

I worked for a company that knew enough about labor laws to fire half the maintenance staff and then make the remaining supervisors all salaried "assistant managers" so they could keep them on-call 24/7 and work them as much overtime as needed. Manipulating the position requirements and duties on paper to make it seem like they were more white-collar than blue-collar was easy.

When it comes to saving money, HR departments educate themselves rather well in regards to the law.
I also recommend creating a nickname on Freenode (IRC) and an account on Github. Both are fairly non-biased, genderless ways of meeting people interested in technology and being around others learning to code.

This is what I would suggest to anyone interested in learning that doesn't have some social event nearby that they can go to. It's what people did 10+ years ago when they were interested but isolated and presumably still works.
Don't forget we do this while crying about not meeting women.

Slightly offtopic, but since you seem to take a small offense, or at least, use it as fuel for your argument....

Alien is simply a historical term. It is derived from the latin term alienus which means something that belongs to another. So an alien to a country represented someone who belonged to another country. There is nothing rude or egregious about that label....

And you sound like you can't read - I was arguing the opposite ;) Or rather, I was putting out there the idea that people that whinge about minorities receiving advantages are racist. But as I was aping the intellectually dishonest argumentative technique of the GP, I didn't actually make that claim, I merely suggested that this was a possibility.

For the record, I'm female, and member of a discriminated against minority, that has previously been fired for membership to said minority. And no, I don't think management in that case paused for even a microsecond worrying about potential backlash from firing a member of a minority (they stated quite clearly in the termination letter that this was actually the reason they were firing me - nice). If they were at all concerned about that, they certainly hid it well...
It's not *patronizing to cater to a specific gender. It's to avoid boys, who are gross.

It's a bit more complicated. A non-compete is enforceable in CA if you own any equity of value that constitutes a loosely defined partnership (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-compete_clause#Exceptions_-...). Further you may be blocked from selling the equity for years after leaving, resulting in years of legal non-compete enforcement. It's a messy case, but I've been advised by actual lawyer that when he sees equity structured in certain way it's for no other reason but to make this case.

We've gone from the assertion that absolute rights are inherent in human nature and inalienable, to the post-modern world where nations supposedly grant "rights" to the populace -- and subject them to massive surveillance.

The two visions are incompatible. If you believe rights are granted by government, then you don't believe in the universality of individual rights -- which take precedence over governments and nation-states.
Although right now Amazon are pushing Chase, not Discover instead. They have a "5% cash back" banner on the homepage (Chase Freedom card), and are also running the $10 gift card if you switch 1-click to Chase and buy something. You have a Chase card on your account and visit Amazon on any mobile device.

At what point did I say Google was disclosing information about me?

Every software product Google puts in the market, from web search to Gmail to Google Apps to Chrome to Android - they are all about collecting personal information, building a huge bank of data about individuals.

I don't care if they never intend to disclose that information to someone else. I care that they are actively engaged in collecting the information in the first place.

Further more - online advertising can work just fine without collecting such ridiculous amounts of information about people. Let me give you an example.

A Toyota dealer (or the marketing department of Toyota itself) buys ads from a search engine.. let's call it.. Hoogle.

I decide i want to buy a new car, so I go to my favourite search engine... Hoogle... and I search for "new cars in <location>".

Somehow, through the magic of common sense, an ad, placed by Toyota, a CAR company, registers as being related to a search for "new CARS". They show me the ad.

I think this depends where you work. I've been at places where they were so scared you would sue them for something, that it was near impossible to get fired. HR would make it extremely difficult for managers to put people on a performance improvement plans. However, this was in California where it may be different than other companies. I've even heard managers complain that HR was not on their side when they wanted to fire a employee that was terrible.

Fair enough. It has been awhile since I used Oracle and we used to joke that the defaults were set such that you had to hire Oracle as a consultant to set up the db and tune it :)

Clearly competition has helped there.

If I was starting on an open source or startup project with a modern web framework I definitely be looking at using Postgres - it looks great.

I'm in complete agreement, if I was starting a new project today pg would be the default to decide why not to use.
> Amazon gave me their ﬁnal offer: 4 weeks of severance for 18 months of adhering to the broad non-compete that would not allow me to earn a living in my ﬁeld, and further explained that if I didn't accept their ﬁnal offer, Amazon would sue me for tens of thousands of dollars in relocation expenses.

The most interesting part to me is the lack of foresight by Amazon. Obviously this is a pretty big coverup, but with a pending lawsuit, and obvious wrongdoing to Amazon's 2nd biggest ad revenue generator, I'm particularly surprised more work wasn't put into solving/covering up this issue as soon as it started blooming. I know Bezos is crazy in his desire to make Amazon the biggest giant on the block, but it doesn't take a genius (which Bezos probably is) to realize a potentially huge problem when it happens.

However, the fact that this wasn't dealt with in a better way, AND Bezos ignored emails from Kivin [0], leads me to two possible conclusions.

A. Bezos didn't know the full situation, and Blackburn deceived him.

B. Bezos knew the full situation, but chose to side with Blackburn (I suspect Munira didn't even cross his mind) because he values Blackburn more than morality.

Either of these situations show that there was a decision made by Blackburn that this could be covered up cheaper than it could be remedied--a decision I find to be Occam's Razor here. The reason I think it was Blackburn, is I think Bezos is smart enough to just remove Kivin's non-compete just to make it go away without even costing Bezos any of his precious little revenue.

I tend to evaluate companies based on how they treat their employees and if Munira and Blackburn are the typical managers and VPs at Amazon, then I think really find myself not needing Amazon's services anymore. Let's hope this hasn't happened to anyone else.

> Maybe they really feel better on gluten-free diet ?

If a person feels better on a gluten-free diet, it does not necessarily mean they have a gluten sensitivity. For example, see this study of people who self-reported as having gluten sensitivity. The participants unanimously reported feeling better on the low-FODMAP run-in diet, but during the trials were found to have no specific reactions to gluten. This suggests that gluten was not actually responsible for their symptoms. One possible explanation is that a gluten-free diet may lead a person to also avoid (unintentionally) the actual cause of the symptoms (e.g. other FODMAPs that happen to be found alongside gluten in foods).

Well, "alumni" implies you graduated, implies you earned a degree.

The correct answer is that that "Alumni card" is for the MFP (Mayfield Fellows Program), a nine-month program within Stanford that gives you some entrepreneurship experience. The alumni card is for that program, not Stanford itself.
Announcing Quaxe, native desktop and mobile apps from html5 and Haxe
Steam has a feature called In-Home streaming where it runs a game on your fast computer and streams it to a smaller/quieter one. It's useful if you have a big desktop box somewhere but your TV is hooked to a weaker home theater PC on the opposite end of the house. Quality and latency aren't perfect, but they're pretty good.

On the Nvidia side, they added a GPU feature to stream things to their Nvidia Shield tablet (Android based, I think).

quarterto is suggesting that if Valve made an iPad client for In-Home Streaming it could compete really effectively against the Shield, since IHS works with both Nvidia and AMD graphics cards and so many people have iPads already.
I absolutely agree: women should be allowed to form their own spaces to learn programming if they'd like, especially if it makes them more comfortable, and it means they won't have to put up with harassment from assholes!

It's great to see the gradual improvements in F#. I think it's a brilliant language. I was initially not too sure, because, even though I've been coding C# for a long time, my first foray into the functional world was Haskell - which is a stunning language. But when it comes to plain old let's-get-things-done pragmatism, F# wins out imo.
It puts many people off to discover they're the only one of their gender in the room. That creates a self-reinforcing problem.

Projects like those linked above help break that circle.

CF user here.

While I agree tag support would be cool, complaining about CF buildpack incompatibility is a bit disingenuous, no? I mean, you generally can use a Heroku build pack on CF, but if you have unique requirements, that's why there are CF-only buildpacks. The general reason is that some CF deploys don't have internet access and therefore need a completely offline cache of the binaries.

Your advantage is that you can walk away if they don't give you what you want and you have to be willing to do it. It's like buying a car. You could also get them to come up 10% in salary if they won't budge on equity. The important thing is to get them to actually compromise in order get you on board. At early stages there are going to be tons of compromises and you need to know they can handle making them to get a good outcome for everyone involved.

Fair point, I don't know what voodoo they use, but you can purchase monstrously big servers (you'll need more than just one fit availability in any event) and storage arrays that would exceed the performance requirements of the vast majority of plausible use cases. The cost of such equipment is likely more expensive than AWS though.

First, I thought you were simply talking about insiders who had knowledge of targeted software. Here it seems like you're talking about moles being paid to insert new vulnerabilities.

But even then, I don't find this threat particularly credible. After all, what we're talking about here are W2 employees with social security numbers or immigration tracking committing galactically expensive torts against their employers and in all likelihood most of the Fortune 500, in addition to (in all probability) multiple felonies. How much money do you think Endgame can afford to pay these people to shoulder that risk? There's a reason this doesn't actually happen all the time.
