Hey there, we're a small team trying to make it big in the customer service software market. You probably know software such as Zendesk and UserVoice, which are designed to address customer service requests. We've created Helprace, which does the above and offers a feedback community to the business owner on top of that.

Issue 1: We don't know if people actually want a feedback community. We had ONE customer who encouraged us to develop it. So a user, would you want your questions & ideas be publicly visible, in other words would you go through the trouble of posting it? Would love to hear your take on this!!

Issue 2: We launched our homepage without much feedback. Upon visiting, -What do you think it can help you with -What’s the number 1 reason that is stopping you from buying? -What’s your biggest concern about this product or service? -Is there anything that is confusing on this page?
One of the best lessons I've learnt from mentors is that meaningful architecture that is even a little clever will most often make more of an impact on a project than any particular framework or language, because many are reasonably capable.

Architecture, and the approach to, and through it, is one of the most valuable (and transferable) skills as we spend our lives guaranteed to use new tools that somehow need to do the same things, more efficiently.

Looking at any problem and synthesizing it down to it's architecture before frameworks and language is a fun and useful exercise.

re: " If the star is above that critical mass but spinning, the centrifugal force can help keep the star from collapsing right away"

I still resent my Grade 11/12 physics teacher for insisting that there was no such thing as centrifugal force, and that what was really occurring was centripetal acceleration only. He basically decided that newtons third law would not exist in his classroom.
This may be a dumb question, but why is franchise tax a thing? In BC I pay corporate income tax (calculated on the same form as federal income tax) and a $45 annual report filing fee, but that's all.
While I take your answer, in mathematics, people often use shorter variable names like y(x). Meaningful names given to functions make them read a lot more like English than mathematics.

YAPF is still brand spanking new, so please use it and report any bugs you find.

We mention in the documentation that data literals are a sticking point to most people and most automatic formatters. Even clang-format tends to balk on them. We try our best at them, but it might be best to just disable formatting them if they are already formatted to something you like. :-)
1) Ensure the full amount is federally insured. 2) Verify requirements from the bank to relieve yourself of any liability should funds go missing, i.e. 2-factor, strong passwords, dedicated terminal for accessing the account.

Businesses do not get the same protections as consumers. For example, if your laptop gets malware and they steal your corporate banking password and transfer out your money, you could be on the hook for it depending on how your agreement with the bank is written.

3) I don't see any reason to keep more cash in the high traffic account than is needed to clear the checks coming out of it.

4) Have a clearly defined policy on who can transfer how much and to whom. Do not depend on this policy to save you if more is taken than is authorized, but it might help in court.

5) Treasuries, sure. CDs? I'd want a Board resolution authorizing it, and again keep it under the FDIC limit. I think the biggest risk factor comes down to liquidity. Of course, slightly illiquid funds are also perhaps harder to steal?

Surely someone else would have done it for them, and paid the $400? After all, you don't get wealthy by having your loved ones paying $71k when $400 would suffice.
A few slow cores can do the work of one fast core in the same time with less energy. At least sometimes, depending on the parallelisation/synchronisation overhead. This is an important consideration for future mobile architectures.
>> But conventions are are a choice made; most times it's easier to adopt them and move on.

Which brings me to a related question. Just like color-schemes are preferences in editors and IDEs, why isn't such spacing too. Then it would not be a "choice made" a priori for all individuals.

Hey there, I work at Accuvant on the application security team. We work with a lot of the top tech companies and Fortune 500. We offer services across the entire spectrum of security consulting. You can see everything we offer here: http://www.accuvant.com/services/enterprise-consulting

If you choose an audit from our company for a web app or mobile app, I (or one of my coworkers) would be the one doing the audit, so I can answer literally any question you have about the entire process. I'm not a salesman, and I don't make commission, so I'll speak very candidly about the process.

My team (application security) primarily performs application penetration testing and vulnerability assessment where a group of consultants will take a fine comb to your entire tech stack. If you want to give us source code to analyze, all the better, and we will do so both manually and using automated tools. We do not heavily rely on automated tools for any type of testing, and our technical skill is very high overall on the team, with a huge diversity of skillsets and experience.

We communicate with clients constantly and send detailed reports at least once a week detailing our progress and any findings. At the end of the assessment, we provide a final deliverable which details everything, along with remediation recommendations and "where to go from here."

A serious audit of your web app will run you in the low tens of thousands, figure between $10,000 on the low end and $30,000 on the high end - this is what it will cost at any good firm in the United States. For that price you will get two weeks or so - 80 hours - of comprehensive testing on your application. Expect around $20,000. If you're doing something much more specialized like auditing a cryptosystem or doing reverse engineering, or packaging red teaming/incident response into the assessment, you're going to add quite a bit more.

We prefer working on staging or preview environments, but we will test your production environment if you'd rather we do that. We also accommodate different hour requests - for example, only performing automated testing during off-business hours and matching you with a consultant in your time zone.

Most of our clients choose to book us remotely, but we can and will go onsite for you if you'd like.

My email is in my profile, so if you'd like to talk more you're more than welcome to reach out. Good luck!

So what metric are you using to measure progress in AI? There are plenty of benchmarks on very general tasks like image recognition or language modeling, etc. There is no room for bias or moving goal posts on a benchmark.

All I'm saying is that AI is rapidly advancing. I'm not claiming its human level yet, and I don't really care what people in the 50s predicted.

that's also a gripe of mine pertaining to any walled-garden, though.
The warning about data literals is just to warn people that what comes out of YAPF may not look like they desire. The problem is that formatting data literals is hard. Even harder than formatting executable code. This is because there are so many different styles that could be applied to them. There's no "one size fits all" solution.

Therefore, YAPF (and even clang-format) balk on them. They will handle them of course. But the result will almost certainly not look like what you want.

That's why we give you the ability to disable formatting for sections of code.
A note -- if you're linking to arXiv, it's better to link to the abstract (http://arxiv.org/abs/1503.05245) rather than directly to the PDF. From the abstract, one can easily click through to the PDF; not so the reverse. And the abstract allows one to do things like see different versions of the paper, search for other things by the same authors, etc.
No link to the journal article, and absolutely no real content in the awful summary. Consider finding a better news outlet than dailymail.
Programming language syntax does not need to match English syntax, but given that it is just a benign convention (that for almost all programming languages would not change the meaning of the program), I certainly expected a non-zero probability of others using it too. Which is why I was curious about the history of the convention since the probability distribution is nearly 100% skewed towards no-space. :-)

To answer your second question, with English, it certainly bugs me. With programming languages, I use the space but of course do not expect the same from anyone else. No one so far has complained about me using it either. :-)

My physics teacher did the same thing. When it came down to it, he was talking about vocabulary, not science. The definition of "force" he was trying to get across meant that there was no such thing as "centrifugal force".
I think this is a fallacy and a hard one to fall into. By shipping buggy code, you will end up creating a larger number of incoming bugs. Consequently, the amount of time you spend on incoming bugs will increase from 5% of sprint to 30% to cases where you have to do bug-only sprints.

In the short term, TDD will look like it's costing more (especially if the product is not released). But if you want developers to maintain confidence in their code or for your team to depend upon the dev team's ability to deliver robust code, it's an important safeguard to have.
So... brief.
As though they had a right to have a copy of the works simply because they were technologically capable of getting their hands on one without paying for it.

Because that's how it works by default. I'm not saying it's right or that you should agree, but you should at least understand the perspective.

By default, we have the right to do anything that we have the ability to do. The exceptions are just that: exceptions, and which have to be justified.

Now, you could say, "that's the law, therefore it's obvious that it is an exception", but we don't really take the law as an ethical system. Or do you feel that it's perfectly OK to get works for free in places where that is not illegal, like Switzerland?

You have an intuition that copying works without paying is wrong. That's fine, but you shouldn't be amazed that people who don't have that intuition feel free to do so. Even if you still condemn them for it (which is fine).

Hahaha, I wish this article was written 6 months ago. I knew the absurd tax bill had to have resulted from some default value in the paperwork my defunct company had filed, my registered agent didn't help me out (probably because I didn't know the magic words to ask them), so I paid an accountant a couple hundred to rectify it to the $400. Judging by the rest of the comments on here, this seems to be like some cruel practical joke DE plays on first-time entreprenurs. Touché, Deleware.
This isn't true. There is a natural rain shadow in the southern San Joaquin Valley.

The California Aqueduct takes water from the Sierras and Central Valley and supplies southern cities like San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, LA and Palmdale.

I'm not really sure what you're referring to by "the government stepped in and diverted water" comment. Or by "all the lakes were drying up before they got here".

Agreed, of course. But I still think it's a good idea to eliminate one opportunity for bias if we can.
But a good framework has well chosen abstractions that took many person-hours to settle upon, a community of engineers working to perfect it, and probably uncountable hours of production battle-testedness.

So what I always found interesting was that they didn't use the ping to their advantage.

Most online games have the ping problem anyways. Imagine everything in a [] is in the same datacenter or house.

[client] ------ [game server] ------ [other_clients]

[client] ------ [onlive server - game server ] ------ [other_clients]

And it doesn't really matter how the other clients are connected, they could be using OnLive as well.
This would work amazingly well for online shooters or MMOs.
I think patterns are stupid idea. You bother learning a way of doing things (the pattern), and you bother all you colleagues learning that way of doing things. OK, cool, that sounds good.

But you never bother to teach it the computer! The computer should understand the pattern as well, in form of some abstraction. Because now you force yourself and others to recognize pattern every time you need to use it (either read or write it in the code). That's ridiculous.

In some languages, patterns are commonly expressed via macros. Instead of learning patterns, you learn set of macros. That way, even computer understands those patterns and it is clearly obvious from the code what pattern was used, you don't have to translate code back to patterns. But the macros are not the only way to do it.
We got rid of it, something that has been on our list for a while.

I'm going to admit, I didn't finish the article. So, I apologize if my point is useless. I've done plenty of web development before Angular/backbone etc. The productivity that I've experienced after becoming proficient in these frameworks more then makes up for any debugging issues. My other experience is that though sometimes it may take a tediously long time to figure something out, once you get it working... it just works.

Seriously, using knockout js recently. I completed a project, and all its mile stones in 2 weeks. We had 6 months planned. I completed the whole project in 2 weeks. When I was done, there were NO bugs under priority 4. In the 7 years of development before that, I have never experienced such a pleasant development cycle. I'd kill someone if they ever took this new tool away from me.
And with low-end bikes the reason there are so many lemons is they are manufactured to be disposable. If the frames were built to last 30 years then there'd be more of a market for used bikes.

As an aside, I thought the author would say the reason he keeps fixing his bike is because... it's a fixie! (rimshot)
I came here to mention Beepi. I bought a car off them this week. We had spent multiple weekends driving to a bunch of used car dealerships to find the cars that were in bad condition, had obviously belonged to a smoker, or that were way overpriced.

Beepi is pretty much an online dealer, but hypothetically their 10-day return policy and the fact they arrange delivery means that have an incentive to make sure the car is as described.

That means those images are going to cost at least 10k, which is likely too much for e.g BugsBeGone to use one for their website.

Then a bunch of people who want to use it for their websites pool their money, so that they can each pay a fraction of the 10k. You know, crowdfunding.

Good question.

Some markets don't need to be global, so don't need to be impersonal.

However fixing your bike is good anyway. You improve yourself and your bike.

Sincerely, the difference between jQuery and angular.js, imho, are obvious.

And the principal one, moving jQuery to the "library" side and angular on the framework one, regards not the "size" (in kb) of the sources, but the usage.

jQuery is a library because it up to the developer to use it. You can see it just like a light wrapper around the browsers (incompatible) DOM manipulating API.

angular is a framework because it's not you that use it, it's you that plug it in your application and that "owns" the logic. You need to adapt your application logic to fit in the framework API.

What does it exactly mean to learn architecture?

And how is it relevant who is on working on backend or web services?
I think the Apple watch is already that advanced. I don't buy one, and therefore it's trained to not bother me. ;)
The author is only partway through the learning process. There is a circular progression.

The total newbie just "learns the framework" and is helpless to debug through leaking abstractions. I agree 100% that you don't want to be stuck there.

So eventually she decides to just compose her own architecture. Now she understands all the pieces. But as she matures further as a programmer and architect, she starts to see all the myriad ways that her bespoke architecture is not as good as the more standardized alternatives.

It can't be, because all the people spending their time on bespoke solutions are solving the same problems over and over again separately, whereas the people working on shared solutions keep building off each other. Over the long-run it gives a massive quality advantage to the shared solutions.

Her journey is complete when she circles back around and can pick up somebody else's framework with shared community conventions and still understand all the pieces. She's not intimidated by the prospect of debugging down through layers of abstraction. Because she's good enough to write a framework, she doesn't have to. She can just contribute to one, and benefit from everybody else who's also contributing.
Frankly this about page sucks. I want to like this project, but there is only one sentence on what it's supposed to replace and why. Apparently this is supposed to be better than busybox somehow. No information on why busybox sucks, no information on how sbase sucks less. Is sbase better because it is smaller, faster, better architected, more POSIX compliant, more useful features, what? What are the tradeoffs for this? If you're going to make the claim that you suck less, at least say WHY you suck less.

Even Google doesn't seem to know what sucks less about suckless. The best I could come up with was "sbase vs busybox" which leads me to [1], where this exact question was asked, to which the response by the project creator was "The busybox code sucks." Not helpful at all, which was pointed out one post later, to which another project member said "Try to read it [the code?] and understand it." Great. Like I have time to read the code of every project before I decide to use it.

Not necessarily. I grew up around some wealthy kids that were dumber than rocks, who have since been handed millions of dollars and have tried to invent their own jobs by creating businesses. Most of these businesses have failed, and they keep starting new ones. Success really isn't the point of these companies...it's to keep their parents off their backs about doing something with their lives.

These are the kinds of people that will pay it. They don't need to "get wealthy" - they already are.
