Great, I suppose, but you didn't answer his execute() example at all. I don't care if you do it in vim, emacs, or an IDE, the problem is that in a dynamic language, you can't do it safely at any speed or with any number of keystrokes. Counting keystrokes is therefore completely beside the point.
Try just telling him "no" and see what happens. That sounds flippant but it will tell you exactly where you stand -- your value in this situation, in part because you didn't negotiate terms prior to building his prototype -- is exactly a function of your opportunity cost and his alternate options.

EDIT to add: Your framing and many of the other answers are mostly in terms of you and what you're "worth". I think you really have to reframe this in terms of what you are worth to the "company" aka the founder.
Oh god, I hate online billing. I try to download my statements every month from a cron job, and some are fairly easy to script with WWW::Mechanize, others are monstrous. My retirement account statement actually kicks you out if it can figure out that it's a robot doing the access... as if this is an inherently evil status.

Please, please, please, whoever writes for this... make automated statement downloads a thing. Make it a fucking default option.

You may be aware that baroque instruments tune to A=415 -- even worse! :) But it's a half-step lower than A=440 so maybe it wouldn't sound wrong to you.

Also, apparently pitch used to vary quite a lot during the baroque period. I've even heard claims of pitch varying by as much as a minor third, though that seems rather extreme: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historically_informed_performan...

PG Commander has a better UI. Not as good as Sequel Pro for MySQL, but it's something.
I believe that on several modern compilers, memcpy and memset are practically -if not literally- treated as intrinsics. As in, the compiler has been granted semantic understanding of those specific functions and can generate very well optimized assembly based on that knowledge. Haven't heard about the same being done for memmove.

The SyncThing project partnered with ind.ie and started rebranding itself a few months ago. SyncThing and Pulse are the same thing, even though the old domain is still up. It's a terrible name change, imho.

You might be thinking of Heartbeat [1]? It's a social network built on Pulse.

It is my understanding that the FBI can already order a person to unlock a phone (when person and phone are in the same room). Same with ordering a person to unlock a box with a physical key. Passwords are a different legal matter.

What the FBI really wants, and that's what they complain about lately, is reading messages remotely. Apple/Google make it harder because they don't store a backup encryption key or master key and can't decrypt a message passing their servers.
Nah, I’m just really bored.
Why Lua? I was just reading through the Red Blob Games articles, and on the subject of scripting languages, he says something to the effect of 'if you have to use a general purpose scripting language, just go for Lua', written as if this is kind of self-evident. What is it about Lua that makes it attractive?
Java Threading Interview Questions- the Complete Intro
Workstation-style keyboards do (the ones that have a synthesizer and a built-in sequencer as well as other features). This is implemented using the MIDI tuning Standard which has been around for years. Such functionality is usually not available on simpler synthesizer, which allow adjustment of concert pitch but not much else. There just isn't much demand for this outside of professional composition circles, for the same reason that Barbershop Quartet music (which relies very heavily on just intonation for its ringing harmonies) is an extremely niche musical taste.

It's useful if you want to write non-western music, eg Arabic or Indonesian or Indian styles which have different scalar intervals from Equal Temperment, but only if you're very concerned with authenticity. The fact is that if you're composing for a Western-music audience you can get most of the 'feel' of other musical traditions by selecting a suitable scale and playing in equal temperment. If you're composing within the musical tradition of a non-western culture you're less likely to be using something conceptually oriented around a piano keyboard in the first place. In a lot of musical traditions (and indeed country and folk music in the west) the emphasis is not so much on tonality and composition as having a good repertoire of stock musical phrases that everyone is familiar with, and virtuosity consists in skillful improvisation employing those musical tropes.
More likely, I'd guess based on past experience, it's that someone wanted to take down one of their customers, and decided (or found) that the weakest link was the DNS provider.
My guess is one of their customers was being attacked–and this was the easiest route to get to them.
Good description, but a pretty well-known problem.
Amazon's route53 is an awesome service :)
> but this piece is largely a strawman

In what way?
It could also be an attack against one of their customers, again for the same reasons. DNS is a very weak point of the overall system so a very good place to target.
A flurry of hacks tends to beat the "correctly designed" way:

I can tell you don't have much experience working in search engines them. Search engines are all about tail. Even if you had just as good algos and index as Google, you likely won't have any chance to take market share because you will fail in, for example, local queries which constitutes 10-12% of all queries. Someone entering USPS tracking in search box won't see delivery time. Someone else entering flight number won't see its status. A kid entering 100+200 won't see answer. And so on. All these things matters. When comparing things people don't see what works, they see what doesn't work. Also what you say "easy", for example deep links, are typically significant multi-year large team efforts with large number of open questions and very active academic research.
Study: US attracting fewer educated, highly skilled migrants
Not that difficult for whom? Great if you have the in-house resources to devote to managing your own DNS (and can't put them to better use elsewhere), but that is not the case for the vast majority of us. The fact that so many of us use PaaS companies like Heroku should be a pretty big indicator that most platform-related engineering is not going to happen in-house under a certain scale.
In my experience people are similar to the parent in both California and Massachusetts.
That sounds awesome, I'll definitely give it a try.

The Father of DNA is Selling his Nobel Prize Because Everyone Thinks He’s Racist
Is there a technical reason why it's only for Yosemite or greater? Programs compiled from Swift are supported on OS 10.9 (I'm on Mountain Lion) and it would be great to try this.
Does anyone have a simple explanation or link to an article / blog that explains the naked domain / ALIAS "problem" that DNSSimple solves? I recently set up DNS with DNSimple (due to nudging by Heroku) and am affected by this DDoS. I am still struggling to understand the exact nature of this issue. All of Heroku's documentation is pretty cryptic (to me):

"Some DNS hosts provide a way to get CNAME-like functionality at the zone apex using a custom record type. " .. and then on to suggest DNSimple as their first suggestion.
Well if this is an attack to get at one of DNSSimple's customers, running your own DNS would be a much easier target. Which is to say that if you were the target, you would already be hard dead by now rather than struggling as DNSSimple deploys defenses.

I agree though that it is a pretty simple service to run for a small domain.
I'm new to PostgreSQL and get nervous twitches from using pgAdmin. At the moment I run my queries in Toad.
Tried PSequel, connected but it say (no schema) in the dropdown top left. Hope It will move forward, would be great if it came close to Sequel Pro. Think the uptake of Postgre among novices and webdesigners would increase if there at least was an easy way to connect and backup restore a db.

"There's never time to do it right, but there's always time to do it over".

This reminds me of something I've been saying for a while. I'm a practitioner of TDD - Test Driven Development, not Test Driven Design. I like test-first coding not because it's faster, as many proponents claim, but because it's more comfortable and thoughtful. It forces me to slow down and think about what I'm actually doing. I don't think I'm any faster when I'm coding to tests. I do, however, feel much safer. I hate that feeling of cranking out a bunch of code, then it breaks, and I don't know what broke or why.

But good design is absolutely not an emergent property of the process of coding! Thoughtless coding leads to poorly structured spaghetti. Well-tested spaghetti is still spaghetti! Good design is always a matter of compromises. You can either make those compromises in a conscious and thoughtful way, or you can close your eyes and hope for the best. Good luck with that.

This depends on what your goal for the business, where you are going to operate out of, the type of business it is, and other functions of your business.

Use the following to give you some guidance:
http://www.legalzoom.com/business/guide_intro.html

If you want various types of investors (Angel, Venture Capital, etc.) you will need to Incorporate (Symkat Inc. (Mainly just used the United States) or Corp. (Used Globally) though starting out you can form an L.L.C. then upgrade to a corporation once you want to increase the growth of the company.

If you have enough money to bootstrap your project and already have investors knocking on your door you can skip to forming a corporation so you can get funding to help build your product and bring in employees and pay them above market rate so you can get great talent on your roster.

Just be sure to take the time to read up on the tax differences and restrictions on each type of business before forming it. If your doing a corporation you will normally be advised to incorporate in Delaware or Nevada if your in the United States.
Its an interesting question: who failed this movie? The director is easy to blame - why are characters changing without motivation? Who is connected to whom, emotionally? What is that grandfather doing there anyhow? How can a father care deeply about his daughter, but ignore his son (and grandson)? If there're reasons, let us know!

As for science: its more than technical details. Its why they are so dumb.
Why can a 12-year-old out-guess the plans made by the scientists? (We're in a terrible hurry; lets set down on a time-dilated planet for a few hours and let the masses on Earth rot for a decade or two).

Once decided, why park your interstellar ship outside the time-dilation zone, so you can take your shuttle to the surface? Makes no difference to Earth - they wait either way. But the ship burns half their fuel, just station-keeping for 20 years. If it had been time-dilated too, that wouldn't have happened! Not even to mention the poor sap on the ship, stuck waiting for half his life.

Oh I can go on (have, for hours, to my family's dismay)

How is that income figured exactly. I mean, doesn't every major movie seem to lose money even after raking in billions? I just don't trust any number from Comcast without a large volume of information on how those numbers were calculated.

And at that, that doesn't explain how Comcast even stayed in business till that point? Were they allowed to install their networks at a loss? Are there costs artificially high? Are they claiming TV programming costs in their figures?

Hotels will still ask you for your credit card, most (if not all) payments on Booking.com reservations are done upon arrival, and not online. So, honestly, Booking asking for your card details is completely useless.

Hotels might as well shoot you an email or call you to confirm - in fact, I think that would make for a better experience.
In the 1960s, La Monte Young wrote a piece entitled The Well-Tuned Piano, a riff on J. S. Bach's The Well-Tempered Klavier. It features an equally-tuned piano, so each interval is mathematically correct, rather than being the standard "good-sounding" intervals. It really throws you off at first, but it's well worth a good listen. (It's six hours long though, so don't listen through it in one sitting.)

Actually it's fortunate for Austin. It has pushed the other companies to offer much more bandwidth. Before Fiber was announced the max you could get was 50Mb down.
Canada and the United States, while similar, are not culturally the same.

Children in the States, because they are already breaking the law by drinking, routinely get behind the wheel without thinking about it. They get home safely and learn that it's ok to drink and drive.

In the US, we have a combination of a binge drinking culture, a driving culture and a fierce independence from authority. The combination isn't the best for deterring drinking and driving.

Here's a simple reason laws don't work as well as you'd think: when you drink and drive, you're not in your right mind. You're less inhibited than you would be otherwise and often you think you're fine to drive. Without sober or semi-sober friends around, there's nothing stopping you from doing just that.
Not to rehash a tired topic, but that cross just doesn't make sense. It's shown in canon that the hilt can be cut by a lightsaber. It follows that the crossquard would offer almost no resistance at the point where it is needed (where the guard joins the hilt)
Paper is my favorite programming tool. The beauty of paper is that it's easy to find out when you're wrong, when you're pursuing the wrong path, without going deeply in and getting distracted by the small-scale details of the code.

This gets right back to the design thing.

If you're asking them to design something rather than build something off a pre-existing design, you might like to know that they actually understand the principles of design, and aren't relying on a tool to pretend they do.
That's interesting. I always felt that repeating that field was a sort of faux validation, but maybe not!

Well, a lot of people do not know their own phone number.
Looking back from the long-term future, though, what's the difference between the two approaches?

Whether the work on a standard container format happens inside or outside of Docker, it would result in a format presumably a bit different from how Docker containers are now (e.g. not overlay-layered by default, since most build tooling wants to just output an atomic fileset.) And either way, work would then occur to make Docker support that standard format.

The only real difference is that, in this approach, the ecosystem also gets a second viable runtime for these standard containers out of the deal, which doesn't seem like a bad thing. You can't have a "standard" that is useful in a generic sense without at least two major players pulling it in different directions; otherwise you get something like Microsoft's OpenDocument format.
http://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-cname-flattening-rfc-... is a reasonable explanation. fundamentally a CNAME says "when you get queries for this name, go look at this other name instead". among other things, doing a CNAME at the zone apex means resolvers can't then find your NS, MX, or other records at the apex, which is problematic.
> In fact, newborn children in high-income countries can expect to live to more than 100 years.

Not sure if you used the correct word (and if I interpret it correctly), but I find the expected age of 100 a bit hard to believe, given that (1) humans don't live longer than about 120 years, and (2) many die much younger than 80.

(Re open container suspension) A few years ago I paid a $280 fine for walking an open beer across the street in Athens. To this article's point I think the cops pick and choose as to where they may be most effective at a given point in the day, the beer didn't have a label on it (I brewed it) and the cop may have thought it looked odd.

Although the town has stayed the same since my years in Athens, I do think there is an uptick in underage drinking in general, or at the least a larger movement to drinking harder spirits. Personally, I think there is a larger mention of liquor by name in today's music than there has been in the past and that plays a part.
I saw that same presentation at the same event, but came away with a very different impression: the container management they showed was implemented completely outside of docker itself, with no patches to the docker codebase needed. Also, IIRC it actually did use significant code from etcd for coordination.
