I was previously involved in a startup tackling this idea. The pushback in the US market was that the building management is usually super non-technical, afraid of being stuck managing the network themselves, and afraid of the cost. For fiber to be run in a building with 250 units, you're talking around 100-150k in labor, materials, and other costs.
I have a whack of tabs open all the time as well, and if I do it in Chrome it just kills my battery where as in firefox it doesn't. (on fedora 20)
This is a myth actually, and I hope they can kill XP SP2 support in 2015. At least getting rid of the SHA1 cert at the download site at the end of 2015
I've read about 4 books on javascript including eloquent javascript, and video by Crockford. I've also done courses about javascript which really really helped on udacity such as web development, oop in js, patterns in js.

I really do have to focus, i'm making simple apps in phonegap to chrome extension to web layout in PS to apis in nodejs.
I'll assume you're making a joke. But keep in mind that Sergey was financially ruined and his marriage broke up. There's very little humor in that.

Our government's actions weren't much different than what Putin might do in Sergey's old country of Russia. I'm sure he appreciates the irony in that.
Ctrl-w kills a tab. Makes that kind of thing completely painless.
If you don't realize it, at the bottom is a slide show of the posters. Don't miss scrolling through them.
I think the most troubling part was that a huge, powerful company can get a government agency on the phone and have someone locked up based pretty much exclusively on them saying "You won't understand why, but he did really bad stuff. Trust us."

I tried Elance but my ratings were 0. and it only allowed very specific skill. Do you know any other good place.
Well that's not what he's complaining about.
It's not about financial means; it's about social groups. Many older technologies (USENET, commercial unices, IRC, etc) were limited only to people with the extreme privilege to be connected to certain groups who were aware of the existence of a technology, and had the knowledge to know how to set it up, what was available to connect to, and how to deal with problems (often consisting of orally-transmitted secrets and esoterica).

I've personally struggled with this; as a young teenager, I tried to learn C++ without any access to the internet, any mentor; just a few old books. I struggled with it for years and ultimately failed because certain technical obstacles couldn't be overcome without "in-group" knowledge that didn't exist in the meager documentation I could find. Either you were part of the social group that could help you out of your problem, or you effectively were not privileged to use the technology.

IRC is symbolic to me of this sort of old-school "it works fine for us" mentality that poisoned the early tech enclaves - their myopic failure to include anyone who didn't win the social lottery of knowing the right people, or growing up in the right place. It's not that it worked for them that I begrudge - it's their assumption that things must also be working for the rest of humanity, since they themselves were doing just fine. It's the same sentiment that made people hate the classic "let them eat cake" line.

(As a corollary, this is why Stack Exchange is maybe the best thing to happen to tech since the internet - a system specifically designed to incentivize people to document all of those "undocumented secrets" that are necessary to actually get any work done in a given field.)
I returned to Firefox from Chrome about 1 year ago due to nagging rendering bugs with linux. Running out of video memory triggered a bug where Chrome would leave a stale buffer of the window on screen. My inputs still got to browser, I could change tabs, scroll, go full-screen it just won't repaint the window. I would have to restart my window manager to get it to repaint. The only solution was to disable GPU rendering but then scrolling was terrible. I know I was pushing the limits of my 7 year old Thinkpad, but I liked my keyboard and 3 real mouse buttons. I moved to Firefox and even with GPU rendering enabled never had that problem.

Months later that Thinkpad's battery died and I moved to working on a modern dual monitor desktop machine. Thinking my problems with Chrome would be gone with plenty of horsepower I discovered a new bug. My monitors are (unfortunately) BGR pixel order not much much more common RGB. It's pretty easy to setup in Cinnamon/Gnome just change 1 dconf key and font rendering is great. Chrome completely ignores this setting and renders fuzzy haloed fonts, plus it not just for Linux, Chrome does the same under Windows. The best workaround is to enable grayscale sub-pixel rendering in chrome://flags but fonts are still fuzzy. From what I found while debugging the problem Chrome used to support different pixel orders but broke it recently.

Once again Firefox renders fonts just fine by reading the pixel order set by the OS. Chrome isn't alone in the pixel order problems, Sublime Text and Atom both suffer from the same problem.

To give you an idea, Rust is actually about 8 years old in total, though it was just Graydon for the first four and a half. The language recognizable as today's Rust is about two years old, though. But it still needed that gestation to get to that state, so I'd count all of them.

No. Firefox's multi-process support ("Electrolysis" aka e10s) is only enabled in the Nightly channel. Firefox does not yet use tab-per-process like Chrome. Nightly only uses two processes: one from the browser (the "chrome" process) and one for all tabs (the content process). You don't get crash or security isolation between tabs when they all share one content process, but that process can be sandboxed by the OS and it reduces memory overhead. Firefox will later experiment with multiple content processes, comparing one vs N tabs per process.

I believe that the author is actually looking for geeks. I mean that kind of geek that is curious about everything including the obscure, old, or unpopular stuff. You are more likely to find them on IRC than on the latest, over-hyped social network or instant messaging service.

Chrome on my girlfriend's PC did that in the middle of the night once or twice. I guess Windows or Chrome decided to update or something, not sure which, but all the YouTube videos in all the tabs started playing in the earlier hours of the morning.
Here's the patent: https://www.google.com/patents/WO2014011884A1?cl=en&dq=WO+20...

It's pretty ridiculous. It's very obtusely written and clearly cites work from others as the basis for their technique (primarily in description paragraphs 1-6). Then in paragraph 7 they claim "None of the previous research on word recognition has been applied to RSVP."
That's talking about something different.

For a brief period, closures had to be annotated in certain cases like |&: args| or |&mut: args| or |: args| to determine whether they captured their environment by (mutable) reference or by value/move.

Now that this is inferred in all cases, closure arguments can just be written as |args| in all cases, just as they were before the current Fn* traits were introduced.
Do you have a link to where this was considered? This seems like it would nuke almost the entire point of Haiku, since the goal isn't just to be a desktop environment.

I never let them have my email credentials (address, ok, linked account or credentials, no).

But, the thing they do that really bothers me, is to ask people endorse me for things, in a way that suggests I asked to be endorsed for those things. But I didn't. It just found words related to those in my profile. And people who like me or want to be helpful click OK to endorse me for shit that I have nothing to do with. Like ASP.net.

I just don't like that it makes people think I asked to be endorsed. For stuff I don't know and don't do.
Really, that should have been warning enough that LinkedIn will send 300 mails instead of those they selected? Or are you just being a smug jerk?
One of LinkedIn strength is related to accessing your network though. Being able to have a sense of who does what and when is the only reason why I'm sill on their site. Any plan to have something similar?

That interesting because one of the reasons I abandoned Chrome on mac is because of all the visual problems I had. Image loading is the biggest annoyance, why can't they simply load an image scaled correctly to the viewport of the window without scrollbars.

Take a large image like this, first off it loads full size instead of scaled, and when you click teh magnifying glass to scale it, you still have to scroll to see the whole thing

The best 'consumer facing' demos of these involve the "I'm leaving home" or "I'm coming home" activities. Aggregate functions, think IFTTT.

For much of these devices today, the experience is so fragmented that only a tech savvy customer can figure them out.

Also, yes, it's not helpful when I have to take out my phone, put in the password, open the app, and click 'off' when I could just get up and press the switch much faster.
For a lot of people it is one less thing to work into their routine. For other people it is hassle. Round where I live no houses have driveways or garages, so the only electric vehicles I have been seriously researching have been motorbikes that can fit through the front door and as much as I think electric cars are the future of much of transport, the charging cable problem hasn't yet been seriously addressed for high density urban use yet.

"It is quite clear that he did not violate the spirit of the law."

Very, very clearly, everyone from the legislature to the judiciary is in agreement that he violated the spirit of the law.

Even the judge who overturned the conviction said it was hard for him to believe that Congress didn't mean for the law to make his actions criminal. And then Congress immediately updated the letter of the law, unanimously, all the while explaining how it's unfortunate the previous letter of the law didn't capture the spirit of what they intended, specifically mentioning this case.

Also, the "it's just a notebook with scribbled down thoughts" analogy is poor. That implies that it's just his own thoughts he took. He uploaded 500,000+ lines of source code, then tried to cover up his tracks. That is exfiltrating extensive, proprietary trade secrets and was repeatedly cited by Congress as just the sort of activity they wished to criminalize in the Economic Espionage Act.

By the way, I don't think he should serve any more time. The sentence was too harsh IMO. But there is no question it is (now) illegal activity, because Congress specifically updated the law to make his exact actions illegal, naming him personally.

(Of course, they weren't technically illegal at the time he did them, according to the appellate court, which is why he was set free.)

It's certainly not the only issue with running Chrome on machines that aren't configured just like Google's. If you try and run it on a Linux distro which limits the number of open files per process to 1024, like most do by default, it crashes when you try and open more than a handful of tabs. Turns out that Google run a custom version of Ubuntu internally with the limit raised to something like 32,768 open files per process, so they never ran into the issue.
Strange Stars Pulsate According to the “Golden Ratio”
But it wasn't just based on Goldman's word:

> Then [the FBI agent] explained what he knew, or thought he knew: in April 2009, Serge had accepted a job at a new high-frequency-trading shop called Teza Technologies, but had remained at Goldman for the next six weeks, until June 5, during which time he sent himself, through a so-called “subversion repository,” 32 megabytes of source code from Goldman’s high-frequency stock-trading system.

Lewis weaves a lot of editorializing and red-herrings into the account, but here's the punchline:

> All of which was true, as far as it went...

Nobody disputes that at the time Aleynikov was arrested, the FBI had evidence that he had sent himself a bunch of source code and covered his tracks. And at trial, the prosecution proved that he had in fact done that.

So what the heck else was the FBI supposed to do?

Something is really fucked with their UI. It's very deceptive and deceitful. The other day, I thought I was accepting connection requests people had sent me.

Firefox also has (experimental) built-in tracking protection without needing to install a third-party extension. The tracking list is based on Disconnect's list. You can activate Firefox's tracking protection by switching the "privacy.trackingprotection.enabled" about:config pref to true.

I have some harsh news for you. I did exactly that. I moved back to firefox after probably 3 years on chrome. It's not much better.

There's one thing about chrome that has spoiled me. The fact that when something crashes only the tab or tabs crash. After the third time firefox crashes and the whole browser locks up you go back, like me. Also chrome's task manager is magnificent.
Becoming a Technology Team Leader

For sure. The talent/cost relationship is a curve and you want to find an optimum point somewhere in the middle rather than maximize or minimize on one axis only.

Exclusively hiring Java devs at below-market salary, as a lot of Fortune 500 companies do, is equivalent to a strategy of minimizing the salary axis while ignoring the talent axis.

Meanwhile in my day-to-day experience at work I am perfectly comfortable with making the generalization that "expensive, awesome programmers provide a lot more value than cheap, barely-competent programmers," because I personally have to work with the product of cheap, barely-competent programmers five days a week, so I know what an unmaintainable mess it is.
Is still any chance to get some feedback?
Well said. I appreciate that response. :)
Right, so just like with people the famous rich one with a big reputation is lent more initial credence than the anonymous one you've never heard of.

People who already have a tank in the basement are pretty rare. How much effort/money would it take to install a new tank, plus a car-compatible pump?

I find that over time I end up with a bunch of tabs whose content seems interesting that grow over time. My working set is off to one side while the 'to read' tabs stack up over to the left.

I'd found a big boon for this workflow in the very simple extension "Export Tabs[1]." It's really simple: click an icon on the toolbar and it lists open tabs by title and then by URL.

Now when I notice that I've got a real glut of tabs open I dump them into my bookmark software so I can comb through later.

Like I said, really simple extension but tremendously helpful.

> If I merely comment out the text, rather than wipe it from the source code, have I really fulfilled my responsibility to not infringe on James' copyright?

The difference is copyright versus patents. For copyright, you definitely need to remove it. For patents, I think it was openssh that used to have patented algorithms in the source that you could compile into your binary if you had a license.
If your work involves living in web apps (github, trello, gDocs, etc) he tabs pile up quickly.
If you live in Photoshop or MS suite, not so much.

Well, this time they've performed controlled experiments, and tied the models to lab-reproducible results, and used validation periods longer than their tuning periods, and the model range includes extreme rainfall points from the fossil record... Oh, wait. Never mind.
So because they studied CS they're qualified to design drugs? I didn't see any testing/trials in their plans. I also think the drug they're fighting is probably Modafinil--not Adderall. And I don't care how the jar feels in my hand... fancy packaging is money wasted.

I consider myself to be a generalist that specializes in front-end web development.

If you are trying to decide between hiring a generalist or specialist, it just comes down to your resources and the current structure of your team.

If you are a startup with little to no funding... generalist.

If you are a stable company looking to improve your UI or starting to incorporate new tech (like native mobile dev) into your products....specialist.

An Ideal team for me, given ample resources, would be a bunch of specialists supported by 1 - 2 generalist.

A specialist will always try and solve problems with the tech that they know. This often leads to maintenance problems due to a blurring of separation of concerns. A specialist will also out perform a generalist when they are given the correct problems to solve.

A generalist will know which specialist is the correct one to solve the problem, and can even do some light to medium lifting if a deadline calls for it.
