And no, we're not planning on burning out. We currently sell three things:

* RStudio Server Pro. An commercial version of the open-source server version that provides stuff that corporate IT wants (e.g. monitoring, more auth options, ...)

* Shiny Server Pro. A more flexible version of the open-source shiny server that offers more configurability (e.g. number of R processes per app), and again other stuff that corporate IT wants.

* Right to use the RStudio desktop IDE to companies who don't want to use AGPL software

> How should I approach this problem, considering that the rest of the employees are simply amazed and extremely grateful for this bonus?

It's a free market, if you feel underpaid, unappreciated-- simply employ your talents elsewhere.

The other employees individual compensation, are really none of your concern. Incidentally, you'll find base, plus variable incentive bonus is a common US standard practice. The employer (owner/shareholders) took a risk believing that you could them help meet annual revenue goals.
Yes. It uses httr which wraps RCurl in such a way that everything should just work.
The malware must decrypt the parts that it runs. (There's an obfuscation technique that's apparently quite strong in existence, but it produces gigabyte executables for simple 5-condition if statements you can brute force by hand, so it's ludicrously impractical.)

This could be worse. It could have encrypted routines for which the commands are the decryption keys. It doesn't appear to be particularly polymorphic. If there's a BIOS/PCI dropper, it's (sadly) long gone here.
I have yet to see an app where putting all that complexity into each server side request simplifies anything...

You have a highly in-demand skill-set and I suggest you go use it and restore your finances and your sanity. The tech world isn't going anywhere.

Spend the next 3 years applying all the lessons you've learned which are no doubt numerous. How would you have done things differently to avoid your current predicament and lack of runway? You get another chance - and in the meantime you can take a load off mentally and financially.

Edit to add: By the way, you're successful for even attempting this. Don't hang your head in shame or beat yourself up for wanting to quit, or think that something magical will materialize if you just hold on. View it as a step to something greater and move on. You'll have great stories to tell the people who've been safely ashore the entire time.

This doesn't have anything to do with that "Semantic web" idea thats been floating around forever is it? Why the hell did they take the name then? :(
Google's output isn't code. Its monetized services -- search + tiny classified ads.

The management people direct the output and make the deals. Engineers and programmers write the code that makes the machine work. At GM, engineers design the car and assembly people build the machines.

There are more similarities than differences. GM (or any car company) uses robots to automate repetitive and error-prone human processes, just like a tech company does.

> You probably don't really wish this... because it will ultimately be bad

Only because the US apparently can't do regulation properly. In the UK, Ofcom regulate properly, and therefore we have plenty of competition and all the forces in place to ensure that the last mile infrastructure company doesn't touch content, allows any ISP to use its services at the same rates, and does its job of keeping the cables working. I can get Internet from any number of providers, all competing with each other fairly on top of this company's cables (and one or two providing their own cables instead).

The thing is, the last mile infrastructure company doesn't run an ISP itself, so it doesn't have any reason to muck it up for the ISPs. That's the key. That's all you need to do - split the ISPs apart from the infrastructure companies.
FWIW we don't do any consulting, although we do a decent amount of training.

While I agree with your sentiment, this sentence sounds like an overgeneralization. I can't imagine it would be that easy to put together a working demo of a fantasy sport site in two months, even with the best talent.
That's a good heuristic for job offers and most marketing materials. In the context of the new yorker, you might want to reevaluate that model.

Writers there are first and foremost writers, they're attracted to the context of words and how they're used. For better or worse, ninja is the parlance of our time.

> Are there situations when we can legally expect a company to fight for our privacy

I think it depends on the definition of "papers, and effects" in 4A (I'm not an attorney so I really don't know the specifics). One could certainly make the argument that under certain circumstances you can disclose information to certain parties while maintaining a reasonable expectation of privacy. I would imagine this is the basis of doctor-patient and attorney-client confidentiality but that's just assumption on my part.
> Angular's scope system is exactly analogous to the scope system of a programming language.

Yup. Because it's literally using javascript scoping/inheritance directly. A new $scope object from a parent $scope can be treated the same as the new scope inside of a function block because it's how prototypical inheritance works. Not surprising that they used the scoping system of the language they're building in.

> Now that angular is being widely used, people are noticing that it's slow...

With wide use comes wide misuse. This is not new either. A hammer makes a crappy screwdriver, but it works. If you don't know your tool, you're gonna have a bad time.

> people are finally realizing Angular has its faults

I hope you're right. Because the more that people think something is perfect, the more it disappoints them when they realize that nothing's perfect. Use the right tool for the job and know its strengths and weaknesses and you're less likely to get caught with your pants down.
Thanks for the offer, but it's fine. It really only took 5 minutes. Good luck with your startup.

I've long thought that the original GameBoy Advanced would make a great platform for kids to learn about hardware.

Hi System, take your point, but that is partly because of the proximity to Black Friday. Most of the retailers dispense with coupon codes. We will certainly have loads of coupon codes when applicable.
Yes, that is one very big reason to go "oldschool:" there are more developers who have more experience. It is nuts to follow fad driven development on a tight budget and hard time deadlines without significant understanding of the technologies involved. I'd argue that it is nuts in general to go with fad driven development. Choosing a technology structure based on fads is a dumb idea. One should choose a structure that makes sense for the project and team.

If you're using Backbone, Marionette is pretty much a must-have. It provides some great classes for common Backbone use cases like rendering a template and showing views for models in a collection.

My current app is actually still back on Marionette 1.0.4 for various reasons, so I'm not as familiar with the changes in the latest versions of Marionette. Looks like they've added a considerable amount since then.

GitLab is great for lots of projects; especially internal ones. The inability to control your splash page makes it less than ideal for OSS projects trying to be welcoming to newbies though. (When you navigate to a project page, instead of displaying the readme, it just shows recent commits, etc, which is nice for people working on the project but completely irrelevant to end users.)
1. Solve your financial problem first. Get a job to make rent, even if it's seasonal. Once you know you can eat and sleep somewhere, it will be easier to step back and be objective.

2. Decide if the market is there "if everything was perfect". Nothing will be perfect, but if there is no market even in a perfect world, well, walk away. If you think there is a market even in an imperfect world that you want to go after, then that's your answer. But your second step is deciding whether to move forward on the project. If you aren't going to make the baseball season (which is likely), decide if it would be better to target the 2015 football season opener or the 2016 major league baseball opener.

And I'm not building a competing platform. I might not be able to solve your problems of today, but if you decide to move forward with it, I might be able to provide objective advice about your market and tech.

Which is sad, because the TextMate lexer design is really really awful. Mostly undocumented. Lots of oniguruma-specific regexes used in the syntaxes. Inefficient beyond comprehension.

For instance, TM syntaxes can legally have recursion loops in them, which TextMate will cut so that the app doesn't spin into infinite recursion. But the precise way that it does this is a mystery.

The pygments design is better for static syntax highlighting.

It's difficult to make a social network better than Facebook, it's too big to kill being just better in something, they can just fix it or buy you and continue with the monopoly.
There's lots of users that don't like Facebook anymore because it's full of crap and you are friends with people you just know but you have no interest on their life.
If you check the other social networks that compete in some way with Facebook they are all different and they focus in another approach to users.

I think another early podcasting success was Bill Simmons from ESPN. In my opinion, his podcasting success helped build his brand even further and allowed him to launch Grantland.

A more recent podcast to big deals success is Men in Blazers. The two soccer commentators spun their podcast into a 10pm Monday show on NBCSN.

I think that sports podcasting in general is quite a mature format. Though, this probably isn't all too surprising as it is basically a more dedicated form of sports radio.

I think the lines between a single page app and full page reloads needs to be blurred. Most people won't know the difference and the back button needs to behave consistently.

Bravo for promoting functional programming and showing how it can be done in JavaScript. One issue concerns me, though: using strings to reference attributes. This makes static checking tools much less useful and can lead to difficult to find errors due to refactoring and typos.
