The coffeeshop noise is my favorite and I've definitely noticed the song, as well. I plan on replacing it with a similar audio track this week.
How I got 3 five-figure raises in 3 years as a web dev
I wouldn't say "the Racket people" gave up - rather that one Racket user gave up. If I were to port scmutils to Racket, I'd probably start from the Guile port.
Can't remember where I found it, but someone once shared this command to fake the Star Trek engine noise:

Yeah. Internet is becoming more and more an implementation detail, an invisible but omnipresent infrastructure behind most telecommunication services instead of something you use explicitly - let alone "visit" like in the dialup days. Walled-garden worries notwithstanding, I don't think this trend is necessarily a bad thing.
Instead of kids, this might be an ideal environment for older people who are having trouble finding jobs due to ageism or obsolete training/knowledge.

It's not necessarily more constraining, but from my perspective there are two reasons to choose Django over other python frameworks: the ORM and the out-of-the-box Admin (which depends on the ORM). If you take those away, there is no good reason, in my opinion, to choose Django over, say, Tornado.

I wouldn't choose Flask for anything; it's too slow, even by the relatively poor standards set by Tornado and Django.
Thanks for the support ;)
When i submit a "resume, coverletter, interview answers, ..." all of my personal info(PI) goes into a black hole at company {X}. I don't know what they do with my PI, dont know how they determine who is a match and who is not, essentially I am giving up my time and my PI to a process I have 0 control over.

If I were to submit some "actual work" and that "work" was assessed and evaluated by {any} company in relation to others submitting "work" in what I believed to be a fair and open process, I don't think that I would have a problem using this process with any company.
A point of view on price-setting, and how a dollar a month is undervaluing your idea and your effort.

Let's say that it takes from start to "finish" (knowing that nothing is finished), a modest 50 hours of your time to set this up, and that you hypothetically value your time at $100 an hour, and you have concluded this solves a problem for you over the next several years that makes this effort and mode of valuation sensible. Fill in your own numbers for what you situation is. So, a hypothetical $5,000 investment of effort (or whatever value you come up with) will in your assessment be returned by the value generated by the SAAS project.

Turning this around, toward having others support the project might look like this:

So, if there were 10 or 100 others that also could benefit from the project, and you wanted a two-year payback, plus nearly zero income to pay for operational headaches, processing fees, etc., for 10 clients, you're looking at above $25 dollars a month (10 clients x 24 months X $25 = $5,400 gross income) At 100 users, that works out to above $2.50 a month, for $5,400 gross income).
that would be a funny combo :)
I could envision this as being a neat idea. I am thinking of it as volunteering to beta test a variety of techy stuff, while also being willing to wear advertisement related stuff ( such as tshirts for tech stuff ). Assuming the price is reasonable I'd like to advertise myself as a geek by wearing random techy advertisements and showing off new gizmos to my peers.

I'll start by saying I'm not surprised employees get the shaft as I've spent countless hours analyzing the IPO process looking for trading advantages and I still don't fully understand it:(

Quite often the choice of a lockup is out of the companies hands, many states require it. The SEC however doesn't require a lock up, they just recommend it.

http://www.sec.gov/answers/lockup.htm

http://www.sec.gov/answers/bluesky.htm

I'm guessing most companies include language about this when you join and get your first option grant. They usually don't go around to each employee and get them to sign something before an IPO as their initial grant language often covers this. if they do please let me know:), Actually I take that back, that would probably be insider knowledge, please don't tell me:)

Rule 7-G http://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/17/230.701 covers this if you feel like reading some really dry material:)

It is possible for the company to file an S-8 registration form to allow some shares to be sold but many companies don't file this form.

Here is a good paper on analyzing the trading of locked up shares.

So, we make heavy use of them for things like reporting and providing a clean interface to multiple different client programs and APIs.

That said, I kind of view them as an anti-pattern unless you treat your development of functions and stored procedures as rigorously as you handle all the rest of your development. That means using proper migration tools, using versioning, and especially rigorous testing.

Towards the testing end, we've found pgTAP to be extremely helpful: http://pgtap.org/documentation.html .

I'd love to hear other folks feedback about their practices here.
Backticks are used around names that aren't valid SQL identifiers. In GP's example, he has a table with a space in the name ("example table") so it needs the backticks around it. It's not his intention to have the string be templatized twice.
I completely agree with 99% of what you said.

We launched in 2009, and were feature by Apple over 9 times. While we wanted to monetize on episodic content IAP wasn't yet a possibility. The programers, who already had jobs, were dissuaded to continue and for sweat equity my options were 'nil. Kickstarter had literally just launched as a website, I'm not sure it would have mattered much for us back then.

All things aside, I blame no one, but I am finding it incredibly hard to get back into the industry proper, even with my incredibly established group of contacts.

No one deserves to be paid for their work in a creative field. In life we evolve or die. It just smarts when you're dying with over seventeen years experience.
Anything that implies people should not be working from cradle to grave while being 100% involved in only productive tasks is Marxist to far too many people.

> There is a part of me who isn't comfortable with talking this way about an employer who provided my income for three and a half years, but I, along with most people I worked with, put in far more than we got back.

Unfortunately, this is how you make money. Getting more for your investment than you put in. RadioShack received far more back than they put in, and when that happens in a labor transaction it really is a zero sum game. What a great system we have in the US.

I would argue otherwise. If you know for a fact that you are not valued, you aren't going to care. If you come into work and find that not only are you mistreated, you are ACTIVELY despised, you are going to put the absolute minimum effort in. And it will show. Employees are humans. Abused humans do not make good corporate interfaces.
The boycott of "Judea against Germany" is well known or should be, at least.

As far as I'm aware, Rust is the only recent systems programming language that is memory-safe in parallel mode (i.e. number of kernel threads > 1). Java and C# were, by virtue of spending a lot of impressive work on their garbage collectors, but the recent languages have unfortunately tended to throw memory safety away in various cases.

(Edit: I realized I forgot Swift -- mea culpa.)
Do investors think effectually, too? Science of entrepreneurship
There was a study suggesting that entrepreneurs think effectually: they realise their part in shaping the future and act from the means, rather than trying to predict. To what extent do (most successful) investors alter the future of ventures and to what extent do they account for this in the evaluation process?

I have friends who apply to companies through the company recruiting Web sites. Even when they are great fits for a position, and it would be better to discuss the matter, they are still forced to fill out numerous fields without any "context."

I'd suggest that's a much more direct and obvious economic impact than some maybe-perhaps about driving investment overseas. (How, exactly? Do you think money would suddenly stampede out of the US if regulators developed a spine and jailed the delinquent operators who caused the crash?)

Anywway - clearly the decision was political. It was made for the benefit of the banker caste, and not for the general population.

The underlying problem is unearned privilege.

There's no rational reason for these bonuses. But bankers pay themselves these sums because they know they can, irrespective of the incredible damage they cause to the rest of the economy.
Those claiming similar foul play by Apple are probably wrong.

Honest answer is we have to optimize this as we go. You can switch in monthly increments, first come first serve, if this leads to problems there'd be additional rules like that you have to switch every n month or can only spend as many in one location per year etc.

Also, once you saved a combo, how do you edit it? It seems there is no way to get back to the home page once a fav combo is started.

Safe sensory stimulation is a very useful tool here. It's why Temple Grandin made the much-magligned "hug box", it's why weighted blankets are useful (need to get myself one of those). It's about building a place where the stimulations and noise of the world can be filtered out for a few moments.

There's a lot of literature about how Autism, and the various spectrum disorders, like the former Asperger's Syndrome are processing disorders. That the normal filters in a brain don't form for various reasons. And if a kid is unable to create those filters and work them actively, you get low functioning Autism, because they don't have a ruleset to focus on as to what are the important details and what aren't, thus leading very quickly to a level of overstimulation and "acting out".

Course, this is my assumption from talking to some High Functioning Autistics, and my own experience as being spectrummy. Mileage can and will vary.

Ahh... that explains it a little more... though I don't see why you couldn't just share model data via the cloud instead of actually sending audio from a microphone directly out to a remote endpoint.

But then again anything with an Internet connection and a mic (laptop, cell phone, etc.) is a potential spy device with the right malware installed.

I am a student but I have classes Tuesday through Thursday, and than I work nights on Saturday - Monday.

During the week while I am at school I usually will wake up 5 am on Wednesdays, to run with my neighbor. I don't even have class till 5 pm but I get up and run. It really clears my mind up and starts the day off right. I usually will run on Saturdays or Sundays depending on my schedule, I always try to run 3 or 4 times a week but sometimes I cant.

Sunday - Thursday I will do push ups and some core exercises, like planks and etc to work the core. To make sure I do it, I X off that day and write the number of pushups I did, so I can see how I am doing at the end of the week and to check my progress.

I am now buying fruits and veggies and making salads for my lunches for each day of the week, I usually will prepare them at the beginning of the week to make it easy as throwing tuna into the salad and leaving for class.

It is basically the same thing a lot of people have said, at first it seems like a hassle but now I am in the routine and its nice. I love feeling good and eating well. The hardest part was starting though, I was out of shape and it sucked but it has gotten a lot easier.

I think you're getting mixed up. ClojureCLR demonstrates that CoreCLR doesn't deliver on its intended functionality, not that Clojure's approach is wrong. Indeed, Clojure's approach is dead on: don't even try to make platforms compatible.

With that said, I'd like a better lib story between Clj and Cljs.

Mexico City has extremely affordable and good quality fibre internet in central areas (where you would want to live anyway), and the food options are amazing. It's as safe as long as you stay aware of your surroundings and use a taxi service. Many parts of Mexico are safe to travel, especially in high tourism areas. I assume the property would be in the Condesa or Roma area. You'll see americans and europeans walking around everywhere and feel quite at home.

I kind of interpret this as playing on our insecurities of others testing our abilities to perform an action. Saying "You/your name can do this" to yourself is like another person saying it to you.

> Your argument is like "people who go into a store and steal a DVD shouldn't get in trouble because they probably wouldn't have bought that DVD anyway."

It's not quite the same as saying that. It's more like, "people who go into a store and steal a DVD shouldn't get in trouble because they probably wouldn't have bought that DVD anyway and the way they're stealing it means the store has exactly the same number of DVDs as it did before the theft."

Or maybe they store something personal there: Selfies and private cat photos... I basically do not give this permission to anything because there is too much at stake. I wish there was a way to give that permission to a single folder or file.
