For context, there is an "urban legend"[1] that when Coca Cola was first introduced into China, a "marketing blunder" was made such that the name translated as "Bite the Wax Tadpole". The parallel name for New Coke (under the worst possible marketing plan possible) would thus be "Bite the New Wax Tadpole". Amusing, but definitely obscure.

Don't spend your entire life (i.e. lots of overtime) playing the office game for a 10% raise and a corner office, spend your life actually doing something of value... the effort:return ratio on office politics is pretty low.
Very nice, clean tool, Thanks.
It's been years since I played it, but if you look at the minimap in that screenshot, it seems you can get the area map before discovering that entrance. The unexplored blue area is a huge clue.
There was a time when "average karma" on your recent posts influenced your ranking. This was explicitly mentioned by pg at one point. However, dang has recently stated that avg karma has been removed and wasn't used for much anyway. So who knows?

That being said, downvoting due to disagreement is currently deeply harmful to this site, but the mods seem to be fine with it. Since that's their stance, I've taken to being quite liberal in my use of downvotes. If that's the way it is, it's dumb not to do the same.

I traveled for about two years. I was able to work remotely, so I didn't have to worry too much about a tight budget or finding employment upon return.

It was a great experience, and here's what I'd change:

- spend more time in fewer places; be less of a tourist. (bonus: for the most part, the less you move around, the less expensive it is.) I would particularly try to do this in places that aren't typical tourist destinations. Think of stops of 1-3 months (perhaps with side trips) rather than 1-2 weeks.

- if you're traveling with someone else (particularly a significant other): (a) be really, really confident that you want to travel together for that long; (b) do whatever you can to find destinations that you both are interested in; (c) explicitly acknowledge that you will want to spend time apart during your travels; and (d) expect the relationship to get rocky at times even if you do all of the above perfectly. It's hard.

- Plan to return to your current home, if at all possible. I didn't do this, and re-adjusting to 'normal' life was much more difficult without an existing set of family and friends around. Even if you do go back 'home', re-entry won't be seamless. One of my friends spent two years in Japan and claims that she was more homesick upon returning home (USA) than she ever was in Japan.
I'm now over 45, and I've never, ever worked for a company like that.

So ask yourself: how do bloggers that rant about such companies get this wisdom?

It's always the people that play the game and fail that loudly blame the game.
What I mean is that there's an investment of time (and time is money) by both sides. IMO the company should spend more time/money than the candidate, at least in boom times like this, but as long as it's fairly equitable neither side can really complain too much. You say that putting in time is an investment for the company but not the candidate unless they're selected - but if the company invests 100 person-hours of work into a candidate only to see it not work out, how is that any different than what a candidate goes through?

So for instance, my coworkers that complained when I said they should be spending several hours reviewing code samples before an interview are being just as silly in my mind as people who get bent out of shape over 5-6 hours of leg work. At the end of the day it behooves both parties to spend a fair amount of time and energy here, in theory this could be a relationship which last many years - isn't it worth it for everyone involved to put in the effort to make sure it's a good fit?

And really, at the end of the day it's entirely possible that the way a particular company or candidate conducts things reflects right away that it's not a great fit (e.g. a candidate loathes the coding challenges, or a company balks at a candidate requesting money). There's nothing wrong with that, a fast fail isn't a bad thing.

Game of Angels Maps Tech Influence Networks
In May 2012 my wife and I did this. It went well, but little went to our initial plan.

The experience was far more stressful than either of us expected. Constantly having to find food, a place to sleep, and figure out where/what is next, was tiresome. However, we really enjoyed the experience and found some places off the beaten path that we really loved. We found out that we love hiking and that we wanted travel more in the future.

I can't remember how we ended up settling on a budget, we targeted $80/day for two people. We saved 60k for the trip which from what I can remember was somewhat arbitrary. We also saved 20k as a 'return fund' to ensure that we had ample runway to find jobs. Returning home was incredibly expensive, we sold everything we owned before we left, make sure you budget accordingly.

Finding work after traveling was simple for me, a bit harder for my wife. I had two job offers, both from people I worked with prior to leaving, before I'd been home for more than a couple weeks. My wife wanted to change where she worked, so it took her a bit longer. None of this was to plan, we had planned to move to the west coast, the sway of a job was too strong.

If we did it again... that is hard to say. Both of us wish it was planned a bit more completely, but I see no way to actually accomplish this. I might say stay in one place a bit longer that we did (maybe a week/city). My wife says she would blog less, and I think I agree, documenting the trip was a lot of work. We did it for ourselves and our family, but it was more work than anticipated.

In the end we finished traveling after only (sorry I know "only" sounds ridiculous) 8 months. We thought we would travel for 1.5 years or more. We spent way more time in South America than initially planned and took a boat to Antarctica which was entirely unplanned. It was really amazing.

If you have questions I'm happy to address them further, I tried to keep this short as I can talk about this for hours.
If you've worked for multiple companies that function like that, that probably says more about you.
I quit college to travel for 2 years and played online poker as a means of income. There are parts of it I regret, like being a bit callous with money and not really knowing what I would do afterwards, but I was young (20) and having disposable income (which I regret not saving) can affect you as a kid. It should be noted that dropping out of college is NOT something I regret. I think that may have been one of the best decisions I made when I was younger.

1. By leaving school, I ended up teaching myself by traveling and experiencing different cultures, living on my own outside of my comfort zone, and meeting smart, successful people around the world. It's hard to replicate that sort of education in an institutionalized environment (not to mention how expensive a degree is).

2. I sucked at budgeting. Nowadays there are a lot of good resources online for budgeting[1] and nomading[2] that I wish I had access to back then.

3. I didn't like thinking too far into the future at the time but I didn't really have any backup plans after poker. I just assumed I would make enough to eventually invest in some other venture. I did, but that venture didn't work out too well. I eventually taught myself how to code and I've been working as a dev in SF for the past few years.

4. I would follow the nomad lifestyle[2]. Knowing which areas maximized life happiness + low cost of living would have really helped. I think anyone who has a craft that can be monetized online and doesn't have significant responsibilities (family/kids) should try work-traveling for some time.

Yes. And if I remember correctly, if you bomb the block, the super missile logo appears on the block.
That reminds me of the SROs that used to dot the SOMA area before being slowly replaced with high rises. Many of the warehouses in the area are being converted into offices. One room with shared bathrooms and kitchens. Chinatown still has some of this housing as does the Tenderloin. I believe the Tenderloin is losing it fast with all the tech companies moving to the mid Market area. I don't think it's a good long term housing situation because of the tragedy of the commons.
I would hope it's liquid mercury. Finding mercury in any other state at ambient conditions would be quite unlikely.
I wish you all the best of luck, but there are a few serious problems you're going to run into.

The biggest problem is consumer mindshare. Google and Yelp are where consumers go to find small businesses and they've got integrated scheduling capabilities that's either launched or launching. Getting consumers to come directly to you costs a ton of money in marketing and advertising. Just look at how much Angie's List has advertised and how little mindshare they've gained.

The second problem is on the business side. In most of the verticals that it looks like you're addressing, it's typical to use a practice management system which will hold the authoritative calendar. Without integrations to those management systems, you're never going to be accurate in determining availability. Building integrations is a long-tail problem that often involves integrating with archaic software vendors who have no interest in helping.

Sorry for being so negative, but I've seen plenty of scheduling companies jump into the game because they believe that poor UX is the reason no existing player has become dominant when the reality is that it's just a horribly complex problem where every vertical market has different scheduling needs and there's often very little consistency between providers. And even if you nail the technical problems, you've still got the two biggest problems I described above, which will require some serious BizDev and Marketing, which will often be at odds with each other (i.e. no one wants to partner with a company trying to build a consumer destination).
CIA couldn’t fully use NSA spy program as most analysts didn’t know about it
Not a knock against Rust or the lib or the example but I've always hated the technique of naming a function with a verb but that function only constructs an object. For example, one would think that get() "gets something" but it appears to construct an http request object that you call send() on.

let mut res = client.get("http://localhost:3000/").send().unwrap();

Unless you have some experience with creating routes, you can't immediately tell what the following does:

router.get("/", hello_world);
router.post("/set", set_greeting);
You don't put a cloverleaf interchange downtown so that comparison is dumb. An international airport takes up way more space and cities still seem to have them. See why that's stupid?

The presence of freeways does not drive away people. If that were true there would be no freeways in any populated location.

If you remove all freeways it would impede people's ability to visit and make the downtown less crowded. Perhaps that's your intention.
There's something really wonderful about that 90s web aesthetic, as tacky and free of design sense as it is.
I'd say more: "X that noone uses, now written in language Y that noone uses".
It's really too bad that it's so difficult to recoup these costs, especially in patent cases. It would be quite the disincentive to NPEs if they had to make a double-or-nothing bet every time they litigated over a patent they didn't actually use.

That is to say nothing of the insanity of US patents and the concomitant trolls, but it would be a small change for the good if the NPEs/trolls had to pay fees if they lost.

Yeah I think people are very serious when they say that, though it is important to consider that they are talking about it from an installation convenience factor.

Being able to drop one binary over to a host (as opposed to the usual "DLL hell" of installing binary packages which, despite not being DLLs, is still quite common on Linux and other modern UNIX systems in the form of package versions) is insanely simpler than the usual methods.

Now, whether we trust that binary is a wholly separate matter. Maybe we do, maybe we don't, maybe it is signed by the original source, maybe we got it from a trusted source, maybe we built it ourselves from source after an extensive security audit (hopefully some variant of Ken Thompson's [part of the go team, though I present this as an interesting curiosity and nothing more] compiler hack isn't in play). But the security concerns surrounding the trust in the origin of the software and the ease of installation concerns are separate concerns. You can have one or both or neither.

Installing this blog software directly from a pre-built unsigned binary you ftp'd off some random site without ever looking at the source would be neither, but that doesn't negate the deployment benefits of "one single binary" which can be provided with both (at least to the degree that you can trust any 3rd party software).

>>I don't want to be rude about the 3rd world, but there are techniques for making structures that mitigate the effects of a quake.
>You're not rude, just ignorant. Those techniques need money. In these third world places people don't even have proper houses to live in, much less to withstand an earthuake.

In the next sentence, I mention the economic impediments. You can interpret that how you like, but most educated, sensible people would say it covers the thought of "those techniques need money". Also, you might wonder how it is that these people who don't have houses to live in are found under piles of rubble.

It could also be the case that game designers have gotten lazier, as the purpose of mainstream games shifts from challenging players to encouraging in-game purchases and DLC, and explicit tutorials take a lot less effort when all you really want to do is milk the casuals until they get bored and wander off to the next thing.
Everything we're working on now runs on our own infrastructure or muni-infrastructure. Nothing white-label in the works, although I wouldn't count it out (we're an ISP, we like to provide service, we're pretty open about how we get it to your house).
Glassdoor. If you interview with an established company you can write anonymously about your experiences. I'm amazed at companies continue to not care about how they treat people when everything is public these days. And this is not 'getting back' at the company, it is helping people. The first thing I do when an offer to talk shows up in my inbox is scamper off to Glassdoor - it is very revealing and helpful.

I quit my job for a year and did this with my wife. We didn't work while traveling -- it would have been too hard / distracting. This might sound odd, but traveling takes as much time as a real job -- the amount you spend just figuring out where to go next and what to do is significant. If you want to work while travel then your best bet is to taking a break from travel and live somewhere for a little while. It's not a bad way to go but it's not what we did.

One interesting thing is the amount we spent for a year of travel was slightly less than the amount we spent simply living at home. If have saved enough where you can spend a year without salary then you can afford to do it.

A few recommendations -- don't plan ahead. You can't. Just plan the first place you want to go to and go from there. You'll have ample time to figure things out and be open to changes in plan. A corollary to this is that if you plan on spending less than 5 months traveling then you may not be able to travel quite that way. It takes a few months just to get into the swing of things.

Lastly, don't stretch your budget thin just to hit an arbitrary length of time. Spend what you need to and leave a few months earlier. You won't enjoy yourself if you have to scrounge for every dime. I'd see people stay in super nasty places for $5-10 / night in places that had simple, clean, and comfortable places for $15 / night.
I am controlling my blinds with it.
When I've used Redis, I've turned disk persistence off. This is for cases where (a) consistent performance is more important than being able to recover data (like when the data expires or otherwise is used quickly, and not needed for long), and for online operations failing to a replicated slave is a more robust solution than trying to relaunch a single node and have it read data back from disk (which doesn't help you if the machine itself dies). Or, (b), the long-term persistence is handled in a separate layer that's written to separately and the Redis instances are just used for fast on-line usage (again with slaves set up to avoid losing the data from memory entirely).

You can do SQL in pure memory too, but for the use cases I've had for redis, there isn't need for a schema or firm transaction guarantees, etc, so the setup and operational simplicity of Redis wins out.
My wife and I both quit our jobs before we left to travel. We've been together for 13 years at this point, were at about 10 years when we started traveling. Something about the travel just resulted in us bickering way more than we ever have before. We aren't 100% sure what the cause was.

I think traveling even slower 1-2 weeks/city might have helped with this, but then again, some cities just don't warrant that much time.

Since coming home we've since traveled for a 5 week trip together and it was much smoother. Perhaps we just needed to learn how to travel together.
You have runtime information though. It's true that this method will not find all things (dlopened files in strange codepaths), but just like we have tools that can verify 100% code coverage in tests, you could fuzz inputs until you find that you've hit every single branch of the executable's instructions and record all dependencies as you go.

You could argue that that can still be fooled by, e.g., making the software dlopen the argument given to it at which point that codepath would have different dependencies each time it was hit, but that argument quickly devolves. That same argument says that when I run `ls /tmp/file` that makes `/tmp/file` a dependency of ls and thus I must include every file in the image else it will have different behavior.

I think intelligent fuzzing + high branch coverage can prove that you have found all required files.
Rapist Invited for YC Interview
Someone claiming to be ‘Web Smith’ @Web (www.twitter.com/web) has been tweeting about YCombinator lately, and when seeing that he was invited to the program, I curiously wanted to learn more about him.

• Claims to be Web Smith, but his real name is Webster Morlowe Smith.

• Smith was the first ever US Coast Guard cadet court martialed for numerous accusations of rape. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/28/AR2006062802008.html

• Smith lives in Columbus, Ohio and is a registered sex offender: http://www.icrimewatch.net/offenderdetails.php?OfndrID=1581254&AgencyID=55213

• Smith is operating an unlicensed courier business and application named Whence (www.twitter.com/whenceco)

Smith has gone to great lengths to hide from his past, and he is not disclosing to anyone who he really is. He recently wrote an article for Inc about Being a Black Entrepreneur in America, and was recently covered in Columbus Business First, always as Web Smith, in which he never discusses his most well known story of all.

Before assuming the name of Web Smith, it appears that Webster has tried to paint himself as the victim. He eventually pled to other charges of extortion, sodomy, indecent assault and other charges, but after reading the rape and extortion accusations brought forward by numerous women, make your own determination about what really happened. https://www.google.com/search?q=webster+smith+coast+guard

Smith and the people of Whence are delivering goods to unknowing females and families in Columbus, but customers should know when they use Whence they are inviting a nationally recognized rapist to their doorstep. Webster Smith has created an elaborate story, a façade about his past that has led him to running Whence in the Midwest. The curtain needs pulled back, so he is presented truthfully in full disclosure to YCombinator and the citizens of Columbus, Ohio.
Beautiful code looks like a directed, acyclic graph -- a tree with small nodes (high cohesion) and minimal dependencies (low coupling). Narrow interfaces are the last piece, but I'm not sure how you visualize that -- perhaps with the width of the edges; the narrower, the more beautiful.

Of course, "beauty" is a hard sell. What you really get with maintaining code with these "beautiful" qualities is massive productivity and choice.
How'd you source the training data from Blue Train? Ie, did you manually transcribe the solos, or if done automatically what software did you use?
http://www.teslamotors.com is currently hacked too, though it's a DNS hack and your DNS provider may have the working version cached.

DNS hacks are the worst -- they could set up a mail server and start gathering employee email, and that's probably how they got the Twitter password reset, at a guess.
curious...why the last point? what makes you "homesick"?
Yes you can be a liar
there is such a wide variety of games available today that any sweeping statements like yours are by necessity untrue. but even if your thesis were correct, your conclusion is unsupported and honestly nothing more than insulting.
We've got the answers and we've got customers and we're about to go into launch mode with the full website, etc.

I'd be inclined to ignore "Press Release Rollouts" too - most telco's fiber announcements never amount to much more.

Since they're wrapping things in transactions anyways, they could just defer the error check to the end (or for that matter rework their interface to the database to stop after the first error is detected).
